i believe trt is generally taken as a weekly injection. professional athletes all supplement with it but if they are tested they will use a quick acting version that would require daily (or more frequent) injections.

i wouldnt expect a doctor to prescribe test suspension. im not aware of a pill being prescribed, maybe an OTC supplement. that wouldnt work so fast.

What you are experiencing?

Wishful thinking
Placebo effect
Self-fulfilling prophesy

All of which have little to do with testosterone.

Well, the OP said he's taken it for two days, total. I was thinking maybe he meant two weeks. We're waiting for clarification. If it's only been two days since he began supplementation, then it's obviously all in his head.

It is in his head. I sold and managed several nutritional kiosks in the past. There is so much quackery its disgusting. Hormone boosters to change life and make people into athletes are rampant, as is often dangerous diet pills. A study was done recenty showing that these supplements often have chemicals not listed in the label and not even natural ones.

They have "male enhancement" that even sells great. Men buy it believing that a few doses will give them super powered sausage. Idiots!

In checking through the OPs posting history, he/she has a NORORIOUSLY low history of responding to threads they created. So I doubt we'll hear anything back from them despite all the questions other members have posed. At BEST, we may get a one sentence reply, but at this point, I doubt we'll hear anything back from them in terms of answering questions posted by other members here.

Arms feel a little sore, but, so what, no pain no gain.



Maybe I had Low T?


I'm wondering if what I am experiencing is unique, or.
Yes, steroids help. They also have downsides.
