Albeit with an agenda (to sell their products, that is). Many of those symptoms could probably describe pretty much every man over 40, including myself.

A lot of this stuff is just scammers.To go for this you need very reputable people if you can find them and not all doctors are trustworthy.Some believe that their medical qualifications(if they have any)entitle them to a very high standard of living for very little effort.

This isn't a group of doctors. It looks like the drug company who make the synthetic testosterone trying to convince people they're deficient.

It's very common in the states. But it's, thankfully, the first case of direct patient marketing I've seen in ireland in years. We are supposed to have laws against that.

+2. A lot of those "symptoms" could be explained away as simple unfitness or other lifestyle issues built up over time. I gather you can increase your own bodies production of test by resistance training(weights), cut out beer(as hops and such mimic oestrogens), decrease alcohol in general, increase zinc in your diet, eat a better diet full stop, try to decrease stress in your life and relax. Good sleep helps too by some accounts.

I have a high test level* and have at least some of the "symptoms" on that list. Basically because I'm horribly unfit. High test aint so good either. Increased risk of prostate issues and cancer for a start. It did nothing for my muscle mass! Horniness, no weight gain and high bone density seems to be the best of it. The lack of weight gain could simply be because I eat what I ate 20 years ago and eat very little anyway.



*Found this out when I was 24 after testing. Dr actually cracked up when he told me as I am not exactly Arnie in the muscle area.:D Nice bloke though. Thought it may have been a tumour causing the increase but they found nothing so it seems just to be one of those things.

From my research, men over 40 who take HGH/Testosterone have a better quality of life.

Look at this freak for example:

This whole area is very popular in the US at the moment. It's called "Age Management".

I totally agree. As a medical profession I obviously am not going to start giving out advce over net.

I will say vast amount of males over 40 are test deficient.
I will also say the big Pharmas in america are not keen on trt promotion.

If we all addressed hormone deficiency properly we could say bye to the top selling drugs in world being statins, viagra blood pressure medicines as long as people looked after themselve to some degree.

There are just a few places and docs that are up on it in this country and hopefully Bayers ad campaign will change this.
