blade in your case, whatever little I know about your med issues would recommend at least 150 mg/ day.

Best Regards.
Rookie, rusty, sub average doc but one that gives results!

Thanks for the recomendation
I don't have any chest pain, I am just fat(at most 30% fat) but Im losing fat, slowly via walking, lifting weights, caloric deficit
I take 20 grams AA a day+5+ grams lysine
plus
eat apples, take 5K Vit D. efas aspirin, to lower Lpa

does hormone replacement therapy (HRT) lower Lp(a),? I might do that, when I finish leaning out and if my T/E ratio is below 30

Testosterone replacement or supplementing DHEA may lower Lp(a) if your levels are deficient.

What are your serum levels and age, if I may ask?

Because replacement will improve Lp(a) only when really deficient.

Than there is the problem that supplementing Testosterone might increase Estradiol too, which brings its own problems in men, and where I would go sure by monitoring. Age adjusted reference ranges and optimal levels for the most important blood test can be found here.

right
that's why guys who seek TRT should look at their T/E ratio, try to shoot for one 25+ or maybe 30+
Ie
total T is 4000
and E is 25(should be 20-30pg/ml)
400/25 is 16
800/25 is 32
etc
I dont agree with "age adjusted".an man in his 60s is mentally 20-30, so why make his T/E that of an old man?
The big issue to watch out as you age is increasing Estradiol. that is why you get prostate issues.

you dont need a total T off the charts for good health, but you do want it above 500ng/dl I think , some amount is required
ratio above 25 is best.. ~30 is ideal
