Future Additions
I need assistance with recommendations on what I should do here in terms of fixing my current regimen.
1). What should I cut from my current 7 day cycle?
2). What should I consider adding to my current 7 day cycle?
I have been reviewing multiple products and things I am seriously considering now are
- Spironolactone
- RU58841 or CB0301
- Eucapil (Fluridil)
I also am going to research more on
- Avodart
- Flutamide
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Alfatradiol
- ASC-J9
- Prox-N
- S.O.D Spray
- Other natural solutions such as vinegars, lotions, etc.
Of these products above or other products, what would you recommend I change in my current cycle?
