[QUOTE="Orson, post: 320926, member: 2737"] I see an internist who uses TRT on himself. He prefers HCG (Human Chorionic Gonandotropin) and compounded Testosterone gel, absorbed through the skin. I tell men wondering "if I have low-T?" to do a month's trial on some herbal known to adjust Testosterone/estradiol levels first. (Weight lifting sites are filled with discussions about both how to diagnose and treat it - some of which may apply to you.) For example, the bark called Tribulus Terrestris (sp?) can increase T. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulus_terrestris[/URL] Buy it fresh at GNC, and take four times a day for a few weeks. Likewise, Tongak Ali capsules can affect estradiol levels, thus increasing the positive T-levels profile. (Sourcing Tongak Ali can be dodgier, but I know a website that helps sort out the good and reliable from the bad, leading to the best prices.) The point is that if you get a good benefit from OTC herbs like these, then you ought to go off them and find a doctor to test and treat your situation well. Otherwise, you're just wasting time and money with guess work. [/QUOTE]
