Flawed Testosterone Analysis Spurs Misleading Media Headlines

[newtohrt]

Very good article here from Life Extension showing how the latest "scare headlines" are based upon very flawed analysis.

Quick takeaway: Testosterone has many benefits, including cardiovascular benefits and that higher levels benefit more than lower levels. (within physiological range)

Good read. Too bad they recommend gels though. If only they considered adjusting injection frequencies.

Yes, I noticed that as well. Adjusting injection frequencies seems so easy, and yet there is so much resistance to it?

Me with my low SHBG and never feeling the usual benefits of TRT, I have switched to small daily sub-q injections with an insulin syringe and while I still don't have any usable libido or feel awesome like most guys do, I at least feel something for the first time ever in close to 3 years of treatment. I get a box of insulin syringes at Amazon for a few bucks and its quick and painless.

That's great! Glad to hear you finally found something that helps - even if it is a modest help.

the gel sucks. Anything transdermal loses mgs.

Gels have worked well for me.
