Testosterone provides estrogen which offers neuroprotection, especially at physiological levels.

“Cuz testosterone is the base because it provides your estrogen base layer of neural protection. None of these things provide aromatization.”

“so testosterone is the base because it provides your estrogen base layer of neur protction these things provide aromatization none of these some the only other compounds that could act as replacements for test are things that are potent substrates for aromatase 2o but even then you get these synthetic estrogen metabolites that have less predictable activity”

“where you wanted in tissues you know it protects the brain to some extent granted at Super physiologic dosages you're a neurotoxic territory certainly you're not going to protect yourself with you know a base of test but it's better than no test for sure or no estrogen I should say”

“so why are they taking testosterone when they have all of these more designer anabolics that seem to have an advantage over testosterone in every way cuz testosterone is the base because it provides your estrogen base layer of neur protection these things provide aromatization none of these some the only other compounds that could act as replacements for test are things that are potent substrates for aromatase too but even then you get these synthetic estrogen metabolites that have less predictable activity”

“converts to estrogen where you wanted in tissues you know it protects the brain to some extent granted at Super physiologic dosages is you're a neurotoxic territory certainly you're not going to protect yourself with you know a base of test but it's better than no test for sure or no estrogen I should say”
