RE: Testosterone Does Not Increase Aggression - The Myth

well i disagree with the research first there is no medical TRT based on pills, the supplements are waste of money and 99% don't work, gels also have low concetrations of testosterone, the mood swings takes place when you pass the 1200 ng/dl on total test , and if the subject using also any type of androgens (testosterone rating 100 / androgen rating 80-500) thats x5 time the test effectiveness right ! Thats where the shit is getting real ! and stop being a myth !
