question from a user

I'm battling water retention/edema on Sustanon 1x week. I am basically staying away from salt to battle this, which seems to help, but low salt is at least for me unsustainable in the long term. In terms of testosterone protocol, what would be best way to battle this? Decrease dose, increase pinning frequency or both? Btw. I don't wanna add anything extra, like AI etc. If I'm missing something, do let me know.

AlphaMD's Answer

Water retention/bloating tends to be related to elevated estradiol. Options to lower your estradiol without an AI are lower the dose, increase the injection frequency (smaller doses more frequently), and/or add a natural aromatase inhibitor like DIM.
