Kyzatrex questions

Pharma / TRT Testosterone Replacement
1

I’ve been doing much research on TRT as I am 45 yo and beginning to feel a bit run down in life. At the same time, I’m a recreational and competitive (well I compete, not necessarily competitive) endurance athlete as of the past few years. I’m fitter and faster on a bike than most, but very much a mid packer in age group races. Much room to grow. There are definitely levels on all things athletics and I’d like to level at least up one more!

I’ve been tested for T levels twice in the past 6 months. First test came back at 400, and recently 300. My blood was drawn during a normal physical at 830-900am the first time at 400 ng/dl. The second test was about 1030-1100am at 300 ng/dl. This was at the urologist office being seen for BPH and when I mentioned my interest in T, the doc sent me to get blood tested. My understanding is that natural T declines through the day, probably causing the “drop” between tests. So I’m low normal and not sick. But if I can live better, why not? Well, potential side effects is why.

The urologist set me up on Kyzatrex. While it is not the gold standard of injections I’ve come to learn, it seems like a reasonable place to test the waters.

So I’m trying it out. But there’s not a lot of info in it. I’m pretty current on anything you can google, including info in this forum. But I have other questions.

Mainly wondering how to handle second dose if I’m on a 6-8 hour ride that starts 3 hours after first dose (you need to have your breakfast digested before this type of effort) and not really able to eat a meal. Your stomach tends to have little blood during these times to digest much and anything other than sugar just sits there for the most part.

The aftertaste of this stuff is not great. I have learned to take the pill just prior to eating or during rather than just after so I don’t get gross burps- which would be terrible during a 6 hour race, even if I could eat a meal at that time.

What happens if I don’t dose at lunch time, but say after a race is over? Will my physical performance suffer the second half of the race?

Since this stuff has ~6 hour half life, should I have all the affects of this treatment within a few days, or does it take longer for the second half lifes to add together? If there is a buildup period, would that residual T sustain me through one-off races?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. I’ve seen most posts on here regarding oral testosterone from @systemlord so hoping to get a reply from him
In here.

I’m on Jatenzo @ 237 mg twice daily, the equivalent Kyzatrex dosage is 200 mg twice daily.

These oral testosterone undecanoate capsules at the recommended dosages only achieve an average mid range level (489 ng/dL) a midpoint.

Oral testosterone undecanoate achieves higher serum DHT versus injections, great for sexual function, wellbeing and libido.

The majority of guys would do better at the upper end of the ranges at midpoint.

I actually double dosed once and got 1052 ng/dL at 5 hours, testing one hour too early, and I was much stronger in the gym that day!

Lab testing is done at 6 hours or midpoint, and steady states are achieved at 7 days, at which point levels are checked and adjustments to dosing are made until you achieve desired effects or levels.

Some doctors have the dosing in the early morning and midafternoon (2 pm), the reasoning is keep levels higher when more active. The idea is who needs high testosterone when you’re sleeping.

For some high testosterone can make some men feel amped up making sleeping difficult.

At 237 mg twice daily, my energy levels are insane and workouts are amazing!

A slight elevation in hematocrit may be beneficial and is desirable.

Thanks @systemlord.

What is your experience with a delayed/missed single dose? Does that have a noticeable affect the day of, or the hours following the time the dose missed?

I have poor sleep and slightly low energy hours after a missed dose, but getting things back to normal happens with 2 hours of taking your missed dose.

I’ve only missed 3 evening doses in 2 years.
