Ok there has been a lot of talk about supplementing DHEA when levels are low so I wanted to address this issue. So although DHEA-S is great predictor of deficient adrenal glands, supplementing DHEA will not fix the issue because there are many more hormones produced by the adrenals that will not be…

You mean the studies I posted proving that LH was correlated with HPA health is speculation?

I’m not taking a side here at all, because there is much more research on my part to be done before I can draw a conclusion, but… To be fair, the study you posted was done on post menopausal women, and the conclusions drawn were in the speculative sense, and not as an out and out proven conclusion. …

Well of course they are post menopausal, that is the whole reason they have adrenal fatigue. Are you saying it’s different because its women? A post-mortem study examined adrenal glands from men and women and discovered that the deeper layer of the zona fasciculata and all of the reticularis cont…

[image] increasemyt: Are you saying it’s different because its women? I’m not necessarily saying that it is, but I am leaving the door open for the possibility that it could be. A woman’s hormonal balance is completely different from what a mans is, so it would stand to reason that the produc…

There is no reason to believe it would be any different in this particular scenario so we can extrapolate reasonably it would be the same. BTW the studies do not guess that LH is a good determining factor of HPA function, they both concluded this was the case.

[image] increasemyt: BTW the studies do not guess that LH is a good determining factor of HPA function, they both concluded this was the case. I wouldn’t dispute that, not at this time anyway lol. What I was referring to as “speculative” was this line in the study. [image] increasemyt: H…

@increasemyt I have really enjoyed this thread. Just posting to subscribe. I won’t go into detail now but love HCG. Been cut since 1985. HCG has really helped me with testis pain while on TRT. I take it for no other reason than testicular pain. On HCG no pain.

It just says may because there is correlation not causation, both studies in fact conclude that LH correlates with adrenal function. Thats why the title of the study is: LUTEINIZING HORMONE CORRELATES WITH ADRENAL FUNCTION IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN Conclusions In postmenopausal women, serum LH le…

On the second study, here is the discussion: We found a significant and positive correlation between salivary cortisol and LH levels in PCOS women. This correlation was previously found in postmenopausal women who also present high levels of LH [ 27 , 28 ]. Several studies have demonstrated the prese…

Dumb question concerning doses. If you were to inject 500IU of HCG, how much is that in a syringe? I’ve read that 1ml = 100iu, but that just seems very crazy to me that someone would pump 5ml of HCG (5 full 1cc syringes) at one sitting. Seems more logical to me that 1ml = 1000iu? Could someone cl…
