Unlocking the secrets of T-Boosting. Navigate LEVEL 4 of the T-Boosting Protocol

Greetings from the vibrant city of Cape Town! In this installment of the “T-Boosting Protocols” series, I am delving into Level Four, the frontier of testosterone optimization. Before we embark on this exploration, let’s take a moment to recap the essentials from Levels 1 to 3.

As usual, all science studies used to write this article is referenced at the bottom of the article.

Core rules across all T-Boosting protocol levels

As always, the cardinal rule remains – evaluating both TOTAL T and FREE T levels. For those interested in a more in-depth analysis, my SUPPLEMENT ORDERS page offers an exclusive home blood test kit with a special discount for my dedicated followers. Consistency is the key across all levels. It’s essential to reassess your progress every three months, closely monitoring changes in TOTAL T and FREE T levels. Progress should only be made when these levels remain stagnant or decrease after a three-month implementation of a step in a T-Boosting Protocol Level.

Now, let’s set our sights on the optimal target ranges for health, muscle building, and fat loss: TOTAL T should be between 800 ng/dL to 1070 ng/dL and FREE T between 24 ng/dL to 30 ng/dL. The journey begins at Level ONE, with a systematic ascent through the levels, maintaining the constants of levels one and two (meaning they will always stay in place). If Level Three fails to induce the desired changes, the recommendation is to retain Levels One and Two, discard Level Three, and venture into the uncharted territory of Level Four.

Here are links to all the Levels

Level 4 Unveiled: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Exploration

What sets Level Four apart is its departure from the scientifically-backed supplements of Level Three into the realm of “bleeding-edge” science (because no human trials was done). The available data, though limited and primarily conducted on mice, holds immense promise. However, a note of caution is essential, as natural products in this category may impact the kidneys or strain the liver. It is crucial to approach their usage with wisdom and caution. In case of concerns, regular checks on Liver Alt/Ast and kidney (eGFR) values are advisable.

A quick summary of Level Four’s two crucial steps provides insights into the potent offerings:

Step One: Bulbine Natalensis - Myth or Miracle?

This aphrodisiac, popular in South Africa, has demonstrated the potential to significantly increase T-levels in men, akin to the impact of steroids. Rat studies revealed a staggering 346% increase in testosterone levels and even an increase in testicular size. Its effectiveness, akin to strong steroids, places strain on the liver, has a toxic effect on kidneys, and alters cholesterol levels, all these are similar to steroid effects on the body.

In conclusion – Bulbine Natalensis, despite its promising attributes, is not advised (unless you are prepared to watch the kidneys and liver values closely), especially considering that studies so far have been conducted only on rats and mice. The prudent choice might be to consider Level Five, backed by solid science studies on humans. The decision, ultimately, rests in the hands of the individual – tread carefully!

Step Two: Urtica Dioica – A Rooted Approach to T-Health

Studies showcase that the root of Stinging Nettles inhibits aromatase and SHBG, playing a crucial role in preventing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. This safeguarding effect ensures healthy T-levels, and its additional benefit lies in preventing prostate inflammation.

After three months of implementing Step Two, a retest is recommended. If an increase is observed, one should continue on this step until no change or a negative change occurs, at which point, a move to the next step is advisable. You can find out where to get it on my SUPPLEMENTS ORDERS PAGE.

Notable Contenders: Navigating the Choices

It’s imperative to note that amidst the plethora of natural supplements with bold claims, only two contenders make the grade for Level Four – Bulbine Natalensis (with a warning!) and Urtica Dioica, both supported by fairly solid science studies.

In the past, Avena Sativa would have found a place in Level Four. However, recent studies revealed that concentrated forms of it lower GSH levels, posing a threat to Free T levels. While the positive aspects in mild dosages found in oats include limiting damage to sexual organs and decreasing cholesterol levels by 19%, concentrated forms are not recommended.

The list of contenders that failed to meet the grade includes:

Tongkat Ali,
Palmetto Pygeum,
Saw Palmetto,
Maca,
Pumpkin Seed,
Tribulus Terrestris
Muira Puama.

Conclusion: A Journey of Informed Exploration

In conclusion, Level Four offers an exciting journey into the realm of bleeding-edge science, but not without its share of cautionary tales. Before considering the final Level (5), it’s crucial to explore the limited data available wisely. The pinnacle of T-Boosting Protocols, Level Five, awaits exploration.
