You need to have a blood test to find out where you stand before you can definitively determine if you need supplementation.

Yes, bloodwork is the only way to definitively know. However, if you are in the 35 and beyond age bracket and even though you eat right and exercise, but still feel sluggish, lack motivation, low sex drive, it’s a good bet your test production is lagging.

Many in this case try Alpha Male and find it helps reverse these symptoms of low test. They are natural compounds that elicit a response of increased test production among other things.

If you get bloodwork done and confirm low test give Alpha Male a try first and it may again reverse it. If it doesn’t then you can look into the more expensive and cumbersome HRT protocols.

My opinion for folks who believe they might be T-deficient:

  1. Get T levels checked via bloodwork. A single check isn’t good enough as T levels are greatly influenced by “life’s environmental factors”. I think one needs at least 3 checks, all in the morning, to really establish your baseline T levels.

  2. If your baseline T levels are low, then the next step should be determining why (duh). Is it due to a pituitary tumor? Is there a problem with the testes? Are thyroid levels and DHEA levels normal?

An MRI can determine if one has a benign pituitary tumor. Interestingly enough, I understand this is quite common. This is step 1 in determining where the problem is.

If there is hopefully no pituitary tumor, then you need to check the testes. This is where HCG and subsequent bloodwork can determine if the nads are working.

If there is not a good increase of T after injection with HCG, then the nads are toast and real TRT needs to occur.

If there IS a good increase of T, then the problem is with one’s production of LH. Clomid or Novaldex should be the treatment here; and as always, follow up bloodtests should confirm this.

However, instead of going right on Clomid or Novaldex, this is where supplementation could be experimented with. I just really don’t think the T-booster supplements work for those who may be T-deficient; I think they can work wonders for those already in the normal range though.
