Commercials these days relating to LowT are nothing but fear mongering bullshit. I'd hate to think how many people these days are taking Testosterone therapy for the wrong reasons. But it's insanely profitable, because it relies so heavily on self-defined "Quality of life" metrics. It's scary that so many people are taking it not because an actual doctor recommended it, but because a janky LowT shop convinced them that they needed it. There are certainly valid uses for it, but more often than not it's being pushed as a trendy health fad.

BTW the commercials about lowT are bullshit trying to sell a product that is actually the wrong way to treat the problem. The problem is the other ways to treat the problem are MUCH cheaper so there's no money in running the studies to prove the efficacy. It's funny the company that makes the synthetic T actually paid a generic company NOT to make it so they could charge more. The whole concept behind adding artificial T to solve this or any T problem is really wrong.
But this was my one exception to the one post rule...now I'm out for real.
