My “experiment”with Androgel, using small-dose gel packs, was halted two days ago, after I saw the endocrine doc. He’s a hell of a nice guy and beyond even Jeopardy-smart.
Here’s what he said.
“There are two types of testoserone. Total testosterone is bound to plasma proteins, and in people who are even a little bit overweight, that total testosterone will go down because the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is decreased.”
(I don’t know what he’s talking about exactly…but I understand the implications…read on…)
“If free testosterone (level) is normal, giving testosterone would not be a good thing because your body can aromatize it to estrogen.”
That’s all I had to hear to quit. Only now am I learning more about steroids. I don’t plan to use any that aren’t legal, but if that bitch Mother Nature is short-changing me, I want my due of testosterone.
Hope this information helps someone who didn’t know it before. Behold the power of internets!
