Earlier this year I ran a very similar cycle using 500 mg as well.
The oil was GSO, same as with UP, the only difference was that it was an English manufacturer.
The lab I use couldn’t even measure either total or free testosterone because the levels were so high.
My total testosterone result came back as 104+ nmol/L (judging by the other markers I was probably around 130–140 nmol/L). My SHBG level also supports this, as it was extremely suppressed.
You can also clearly see the difference in aromatization: I’m using the same amount of exemestane now as I did during that cycle, yet back then my estrogen was significantly higher.
I respond well to every carrier oil I’ve used so far, whether MCT, GSO, or sesame oil.
Last year, during my cruise phase (yes, it was a slightly higher TRT dose, I’m aware of that), I was using 250 mg and my total testosterone came back at 61 nmol/L.
My natural testosterone level was 25.2 nmol/L two years ago.
