I wouldn't even think about taking a PROVEN hepatotoxic agent like methyltestosterone, so why would I pump myself with shit with unknown excretion mechanisms and safety profiles?
The safety profiles may never be known, honestly, because there's no financial incentive for the makers of these supplements to do the studies. People will buy them based on their outrageous claims, and the overworked FDA has no chance at regulating these things.

Some of the studies are a joke, especially overseas and like I mentioned there are some shady companies so I understand that.
There just isn't enough money in the supplement industry to do those long sustained trials and if you tried some other company is bringing it to the market without worrying about do them. I'm not sure how much good it would do though. They can't even conclusively determine if TRT is "safe". For ever study that says it isn't there is a study that says it is. And then is TRT worse than having Low T?
