Anybody taking Testosterone?
Anyone taking testosterone supplements and seen an increase in energy from it? I'm tired a lot and lethargic even with a good nights sleep. Been losing some weight and trying to eat better but still feel like I could use a "boost". Couple of ones on the internet/Youtube with good marketing but not sure if it's worth trying.

I had cancer in 2014 and let's just say that lefty died and was removed. I was 34
My body decided to quit producing testosterone naturally around the time I turned 40. I now give myself shots every two weeks to get my numbers where they belong. I highly encourage you speak to your doctor and have your levels checked. It made a huge difference when my numbers got back in line to where they should be for a 40 yr old male, vs where I was.
Side effects, on injection days I get a knot at the injection site that stings for about 2-3 days. There are other options if you don't think you can poke your own legs. The gel you rub on your shoulders was not pleasant and a bad idea if there are any ladies in your household. (Last thing you want is to give your wife and daughters is testosterone unless you want to have bearded ladies in your home)

I don’t take any supplements yet. Have you considered the testosterone shot? I didn’t get one yet. My testosterone dropped as well about two years ago. I lost 25 lbs and with my next blood test it nearly doubled. Doc says my weight loss and intense workouts raised my testosterone.

But I eat good meat and chicken and vegetables too and am trying to eat less. Maybe it's my diet that causes me to feel this way.

I’ve been using supplement capsules for a few years now but don’t really know if they help. Sorry I can’t be more informative.
