Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) vs STAIT - Part 2
STAIT a not a test booster.
When initially creating STAIT for Men with the PhD team, I asked, as any man would, for MORE T. They quickly educated me. Testosterone isn’t the issue, or at least, not the core issue.
And so I wrote a couple of articles on this:
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) vs STAIT
Testosterone is Not the Issue – So What is?
Testosterone is Not the Issue – Part 2
The fact is, testosterone is declining in men, due to environmental factors and lifestyle choices. Fertility is also suffering (TRT doesn’t help this BTW), but there isn’t really a magic pill to resolve this. Not even STAIT.
I have nothing against TRT at all, but I do believe there are many things most guys don’t do beforehand, that if they did, would mean they didn’t need TRT, or, TRT would work better.
What STAIT helps with is, helping the body to adapt to stress, supporting healthy blood sugar and metabolism, enhancing the quality of sleep.
The key for anyone on TRT is to ensure whatever way they take it, the body uses it all, and what it doesn’t use, it is able to effectively eliminate, or side effects can occur. It has been shown that smaller more frequent administration helps, rather than a huge shot, and then a long time between shots.
In my youth, in UK gyms, the big guys on steroids always had to use things to mitigate the “side effects” of gear. Those came from the body not being able to use the steroid completely, receptor sites being blocked or deactivated, the excess steroid in the blood stream getting converted by the body’s natural mechanism, to estrogen, and then because of poor elimination side effects (liver function and poor gut health), causing things like gynecomastia (bitch tits).
TRT is not that different – so it's key to ensure that the delivery of the hormone is stable, not spikes at injection time. If the body detects “too much” of anything, it will activate via its regulatory systems, conversion and elimination. Coupled with this, the body also has an enzyme called aromatase, which hunts testosterone, for conversion to estrogen. So the more free un-utilised testosterone you have in the blood, the more likely it is to be converted.
At STAIT we say it's key to have your hormone receptor sites clean and ready to receive the testosterone – that’s where STAIT RECOVER helps, even on TRT. The herbs in STAIT RECOVER support detox, liver health and gut health.
Whereas, STAIT for Men helps the body do what it does best, so testosterone production is constant, without spikes, and without excess. It’s also optimised for your body, such that the dosage is not too much, nor too little, as everyone's levels are unique. Hence no side effects, just the body doing what it was designed to do. And long term, many men see that as preferable to regular expensive doctor visits.
As I mentioned in the beginning, Low Testosterone isn’t the real issue – the real issue is testosterone utilisation, and the factors that effect that.
Karl Pribram, a talented neuroscientist, identified four primal drives that govern everything our body does.
Fight. Flight. Feed. Fornicate.
STAIT was designed specifically to support all four. Not spike one and wreck the others. To balance the whole system.
The body, due to evolution not having caught up with modern day living, still prioritises stress hormone over sex hormone. There's no point reproducing if safety is not assured. However, the body doesn’t distinguish the difference between acute stress and chronic stress. Men don’t even realise, as it’s the norm, that their stress is affecting their sex hormone.
STAIT works to balance out the stress hormone, and adapt to stress, whilst strengthening the adrenal glands. Having a better response to stress hormone means the receptor sites are less occupied by that hormone, and more open for sex hormone docking.
In addition to stress hormone, modern day living exposes the body to xeno-estrogens, which actively seek out to dock on sex hormone receptors. Conventional personal care products, plastic water bottles, plastic packaging, coffee pods, all contribute to this.
STAIT RECOVER contains Australian grown organic whole-food plant powders that help the body eliminate toxins. Naturally, prevention of exposure to toxins is preferable, but a good elimination system also helps. Liver and gut health is supported by RECOVER, so the body is better able to deal with any toxin or excess hormone.
Please also be aware of hidden toxins and contaminants which affect hormones.

There are many nasties for hormone health hidden in “healthy” products.
Testosterone is a weak hormone, submissive to stress hormone, estrogen and also insulin. If insulin levels are high, testosterone won't operate. So it's also imperative to ensure blood sugar is under control. STAIT for Men has a clinical dose of cinnamon, which helps with insulin sensitivity, so again, it looks to tackle the issues BEFORE finally giving the body herbs to produce it's own sex hormones.
As many of our customers state, STAIT is not a magic pill. But it's damn close.
