Yes, you can buy testosterone and other such supplements in your local health store and although these may not be as potent as Adrogel testosterone cream or patches, these oral supplements will boost your testosterone levels and potentially assist in your recovery potential. HOWEVER, it is very important to always be cautious about using testosterone or any of those supplements in any form. They are banned not only because they provide unfair advantage to some but also because they are inherently very dangerous as they can cause more sickness to normal people.
Testosterone supplements are normally prescribed to older people who need them as part of their daily activities. Without testosterone these octogenarians cannot function normally and would be bedridden or in a wheelchair. However, patients taking these are under STRICT medical supervision. Their physicians know their family history and particularly with regard to prostate cancer and liver disease. Testosterone supplements can cause both types of cancers for predisposed people. In addition, it can shrink testicles and can alter personalities. It can boost or suppress sexual appetites and can cause heart failure if not heart disease. It is also known to cause baldness in men.
Why do I know? Because I thought about it and studied it and asked doctors about it. My father, brother, and two sisters are physicians (cardiologists, geriatrician, and internists) and I sat down with them individually and I asked them about taking testosterone to improve my athletic abilities. They all STRONGLY warned me not to mess around with that stuff. The risks far outweigh the benefits. As an age grouper they said the gain I get from being stronger in my races and getting better results are nothing compared to the risks that come: getting prostrate cancer, liver cancer or heart disease; shrinking my balls and losing my sexual libido. Worse even - losing my hair and becoming BALD.
It is a no brainer. Stay away from those…
