    How much test?

    I had a friend ask me a question and I was completely oblivious... I was explaining that his dose was probably shutting down natural test production with little to no effect and he had asked "how much test a person can take without shutting themselves down"... I have no idea if a person can take any amount without hindering natural production but I figured I would ask... I guess it kind of made me curious... For instance is a person with a lowered ability to produce test, like a TRT patient, shutting themselves down by administering A-Gel or strips?

    Pretty much any amount of test Over a certain amount of time will shut you down. Because of the fact the synthetic test takes over and your body no longer needs to produce it.

    What is your "friends" dose?

    Is he a TRT patient?

    I'm not sure exactly how much test is required to shut down your hpta but I am sure someone else will chime in shortly.

    Well thats not necessarily true... If your body still is receiving the message that your test levels are low then it will continue to produce testosterone to bring it back up to what it sees as normal... I understand that everybody is different and that what one person's body interprets as low is going to be different from another person but I guess generally speaking there has to be some sort of standard range... People say all the time not to waste your time taking 250 MG/week because the effects are not going to be worth shutting yourself down over... So there has to be some sort of idea of what will cause a complete shutdown and what wont

    He wanted to take 250/week but that really isn't the question... And no he isn't a TRT patient... That was just what his question made me think of

    Yeah I got ya, I was just curious. 250mg/wk will definitely shut you down, as you already know. I would imagine any amount of test that signals your body that it's testosterone needs are being met would shut you down. So anything close to what you are producing naturally should shut you down (probably even less). I'm sure it's probably going to vary from person to person.

    Your body produces between 11/15 mg of test a day 70/90 a week.
