Masteron & Dutasteride??
ad
Ok!
I was on a TRT protocol for about 2 years prior to my first actual cycle.
I have done a few cycles of just testE only after getting comfortable.
I’ve narrowed down my Ai/side affects from running test @ 350/week.
I also pin daily for maximum stability.
But I’m getting ready to run another stretch of 350/week and I’d like explore and add a compound.
I have access to masteron but my question and fear is that my DHT would drive through the roof.
Can/is Dutasteride be ran in leu of the mast/test?
Or will the Dutasteride not make enough of an impact to the DHT.
Trying to keep my good hair lol.
Also, any recommendations as to how much mast to run alongside the test E @ 350/week?

David8877Dutasteride is completely ineffective in preventing hair loss caused by provirone or metestosterone—I myself had to stop using it due to severe hair loss. A safer compromise is to maintain a weekly dose of 350 mg of testosterone estradiol (Test E) and add a low dose of metestosterone 150 mg weekly. You can use dutasteride to suppress dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is converted from testosterone, but to counteract metestosterone, you need to use topical RU58841. Don't act blindly; monitor your blood lipids.
Two questions
1. What the hell is metestosterone?
2. Where the hell are you getting testosterone estradiol?
Run GHK-Cu, RU58841and Minoxidil with your masteron, that will “hopefully” be enough to protect you. It is very person to person dependent. Just take pictures of hair and track week to week, you will not go bald in 48 hours.
Don’t mess with systemic DHT, oral fin and dut lower dht levels by 60-90%, I would just stay topical and target DHT at the scalp, microneedle for deeper penetration and better absorption, then grab some good shampoo/conditioner brands that have saw palmetto, biotin, argan oil, nettle oil, caffeine, etc etc etc.
Goodluck brotha!
Thanks for feedback!
Just want to do all I can and be proactive about it.
Currently running 0.5mg dutasteride with my cycle. Only a few days in. We’ll see how it goes. I stay on ghk year round as well and low dose minoxidil. 300 test, 70 tren, 250 mast. Plus 4ius growth daily. All pins are daily.
All the crap you've heard about masteron is wrong, It's not DHT, it's a structurally similar, but it's not DHT. It does not convert to DHT and does not affect your receptors the same way DHT does.
Some people notice increased shedding in the first week or two because mast Has a higher binding affinity for SHBG, which acts as a reservoir for DHT, so if you don't Crush your SHBG with daily injections ahead of time, that could be worse, but it's not likely to continue to be a problem, just happens in the short term. Mast is the safest compound you can use, it might suppress your HDL but the other "safe" steroids would do so to a higher degree. Primo is not a good idea for other reasons. You can titrate mast to 300 mg daily if you wanted, without wrecking your organs. Just keep your testosterone at the TRT level, that will prevent the side effects. There's no reason to raise it. The DHT side effects are far more likely to increase with high test, because testosterone converts to DHT.
300mg masteron daily..??? HWAT
You could titrate up there, I don't recommend starting there lol, people think it's not anabolic, but, it's the safest with the least side effects and if you increase the dose, it's highly anabolic.
This is a misconception you have regarding Masteron. Masteron is a DHT derivative it does not 5a reduce into DHT. Your DHT levels would only be directly impacted by your endogenous and exogenous testosterone via 5a reduction.
HELL NO. Dutasteride is a 5a reductase inhibitor. It is not a replacement for an exogenous hormone in a cycle.
Masteron is not the compound for you if you are already susceptible to hair loss, and you care about hair. Dutasteride functionally does not have any impact on hair loss from Masteron since it already has been derived from DHT.
No hair loss in the family, father and grandads and on had good solid hair.
I’ll give it a go and see how I do on shedding.
Just lining the ducks for any cases.
You can implement Ghk-cu injectable and topical minoxidil if you want to be proactive.
Ok, I have GHk on hand so that’s great. I’ll get that going couple weeks prior.
