So, I had a legit script for this. And researched it before I nudged the doctor for it. I can share what I was on, cannot advise specifics, usual caveat of "ask your doctor" (most TRT clinics will have this as an option).
50mg/day (25mg twice a day) was what i was prescribed, for 60 days. I do this twice a year when I'm lifting seriously (I need to get back to lifting seriously...)
For a male I found no evidence it was worth going above this unless I was a no-shit bodybuilder and my career was more important than my long-term health. It is hepatotoxic so you will want to slam milk thistle, NAC, and ALA after, get your bloods done (CBC plus CMP - the latter most important, for looking at liver enzymes)
In saying that my suspicion is it's likely to affect the SPEED of collagen synthesis more than the quantity. I suspect the body will reach the conclusion that the "invader" is adequately encapsulated and stop no matter what you take - I suspect there's a ceiling, and that most of us will get to this ceiling with a simple adequate diet, and that things like GH and Var just get us there faster within the narrow context of
PMMA. Could be wrong.
I was on Ipa + CJC1295 for my post-
PMMA recovery, my IGF-1 was upper limit of normal suggesting it was working, my end-state gains were no more remarkable than anyone else's. Maybe remarkable considering my diet of cheez-its and energy drinks, but mathematically unremarkable.
