Androgen Receptor Upregulation

By Todd Lee M.D.

Everyone is so busy trying to find a way to get more androgen receptor ligands into their body and no one is trying to get their body to produce more androgen receptors! Why?

Androgen receptor ligands are testosterone, prohormones, and anabolic steroids. Simply put, they are all androgen receptor ligands; they bind to the androgen receptor.  

There are so many companies making these androgen receptor ligands but nothing to make the androgen receptors!

That has come to an end.

There is a compounds known as Sweet Clover (Dihydrocoumarin)  Which has many effects on the body, one of which is androgen receptor upregulation.  

The Dihydrocoumarin inhibits a protein called SRT1 in every cell in your body. What SRT1 does is it stops DNA from being transcribed, and In the muscle this means it stops the muscle form making more androgen receptors.  

This would be useful in theory for all men, to increase the androgen receptor concentration of their muscles and no where else would result in more testosterone binding to the muscles. This would mean more muscle growth.

But the real benefit is for people who have used pro hormones or anabolic steroids. As you increase the number of androgen receptor ligands in your body your body decreases the amount of receptors over time. You grow a tolerance.  What DHC will do for you is regenerate your original androgen receptor population so you can use way less androgens to get the same result.  

It would be a bad Idea to use this for an extended period of time because the function SRT1 serves is to decrease your chances of getting cancer and slow the aging process. If you use it for 3 weeks then you age faster in those 3 weeks.

It sounds like a bad trade off, but if you can cut your dose of steroids in half the the benefits outweigh the risks.
