4-AD increases estrogen by 86%??

Not sure about the DHT. I do know that it is still a significant issue with 4-AD because the test itself converts to DHT. As far as diones also converting DIRECTLY to DHT I have no clue....but I would guess that this is an issue for at least some PHs from the marketing hype for 1-AD (that it does not convert directly to DHT, though 1-test will).

androstenedione cannot convert directly to DHT but it can directly 5alpha reduce. 4-AD cannot directly 5alpha reduce.

I don't recall ever making any marketing claims regarding 1-AD and DHT.

I do know that some companies are making marketing claims about 1-test and DHT, and these claims are false

I can't answer your first question for sure but if you were taking decent dosages of the adiones for long periods and did not lose hair noticeably than its a good indication you are not susceptible

If DHT is a factor for you then stick to 19nors

Pa1ad, thats what I figured. I mean, you would think that if you took many things that convert to DHT for a significant time, and hadn't lost any hair, then it makes sense that you really wouldn't have a problem with MBP coming from any PH's or even Gear.

Thanks,
