Reading the thread, I learned what TRT is. I also see that maybe someone learned that search engines do not give the same results to everyone. Which is probably the best we can hope for. On the topic of taking hormones, if you really need it, you should take it. I don't really think that all who take it really need it. I really don't know, just my biased opinion from living in a country that has an economy based upon selling anything. I have a brother who takes it. Maybe for 20 years. He seems to blame all his health problems on other people, rather than the drugs he takes for hair growth and erectile distinction and whatever else he takes. I don't know though. He could be worse without it. Like someone's else said, it reduces your bodies ability to make it, so if you stop taking it, you might have more problems later. I think the problems with athletes taking it, show that it may not be good for you. Wow, I have lots of opinions. Hope that I'm not being an ass and actually contributing to the community.
