Hey there - We finished up this weekend event but I came back to let people know about the military discount we have.
So while I'm here let me help with this.
It depends what you define as high T levels, and if you mean internally or by dose. Essentially there's an inverse relationship for most men between Testosterone dose/level to side effect rates.
The idea is that the benefits of increasing your Testosterone slow down past a certain point because all of your androgen receptors are full & there's nothing having more available in your blood is really going to do. However at these higher levels it can cause your liver to produce more SHBG which can go after DHEA & DHT, and DHT is a very strong thing that you want (in reasonable amounts). So you may be losing out on more of that than normal by making your body over-react. You also deal with more of the side effects like potential for balding, body acne, and more estrogen.
So in that example, even if you're controlling your Estrogen you can see how it's only a piece of the puzzle.
Typically 140-160mg a week is a good dose for most men with primary/secondary hypogonadism. For relative hypo and for those who simply need more going up to and around 200mg a week can be good. It is very rare, among TRT providers who care for their patient's well being more than profit, to wan to go above those values. Though it is quite common with UGLs/personal dosing & bodybuilding.
