When is the best time to inject testosterone cypionate?
DRs Love to show you the Test report from the lab & say "Your Testosterone is in the normal range"! The range is age based & they should say "Your Testosterone is in the normal range, FOR ALL THE OTHER MISERABLE GUYS YOUR AGE".
GUYS: A TESTOSTERONE LEVEL OF ABOUT 250-450 is normal for guys in the 45-60 age range. Normal, healthy sexual function needs your Testosterone levels much higher than that! The normal 250-450 range is for all those guys with aches, pains & trouble having an erection.
Here are the truths that most normal General Practioner Drs or Urologist won't add to your education.
1. When we were young & healthy (16-35 years old), you had great muscle tone, no problem with erections or sexual desire, no heart disease & loving life! From 16-35 Most guys natural, normal testosterone level was between 1500-2000 some even higher.
2. After 35 your level naturally starts to drop pretty aggressively at about 5% per year so in 10 years you could be operating with HALF as much & by our mid 50s most men have only about 10% of what you had at 30... No wonder sex is not as much fun & erections tougher to keep, heart disease is rampant & your joints hurt!
3. Your body gets CHOLESTEROL from our food & makes TESTOSTERONE from that CHOLESTEROL. Cholesterol medication (Statins) is killing your cholesterol, your liver, muscle tone & your ability to make more testosterone
4. Most guys feel good & have good sexual function, energy, health & sleep & no joint pain, with a testosterone blood level anywhere above 800/ Below that & you will have lots of "AGING" symptoms that are really just LOW TESTOSTERON symptoms, not really aging symptoms.
5. By our late 50s & beyond the normal male will fall into the "Double digits" 10-99 on the blood testosterone & feel terrible & have very poor sexual function or desire.
6. When your Testosterone falls the small amount of estrogen that your body produces, starts to dominate & you feel even less masculine, more emotional, muscle mass starts to atrophy & weight gain, ED & loss of sex drive are PROFOUND.
MORE INFO YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR BUT MIGHT FIND HELPFUL!
· Injections and patches even pills can be a common ways to get Testosterone, but the Patches & creams are ineffective & irritate the skin and can be dangerous if they come in contact with children, pets or other people. They typically can only raise the ("T"estosterone ") levels by 100-200 points, so if you start at 200 and the creams, pills & patches do their best you are still at half of what your levels need to be for true Hormone Replacement Therapy!
· The Injection gives a severe SPIKE and then about 24-48 hours later a severe crash and will probably be SYNTHETIC hormones & that can be problematic too.
· Info about the ladies in our lives! Most DRs are taught that ESTROGEN defines a woman & that the only remedy is more estrogen.
· Theenlightened Dr is starting to understand that it is often best to give the body what it needs (Testosterone) & let it make the estrogen. SYNTHETIC Estrogen has been linked to elevated levels of Cancer in women, BE CAREFUL!

Men do more physical work then women normally and they have less testosterone and that makes building muscles VERY hard for women
Does having large testicles mean you produce more testosterone?
When selecting Bulls for typing and selection in Sperm Straw programs, testis size is measured and calculated to insure available samples of a specific genome. Human sperm banks might seek volume in certain traits, but, since the need and desirability is spread across a variety of traits in in-vitro fertilization, the need for volume doesn't exist. One IQ 200 egg needs one IQ 400 sperm cell to produce either an idiot or a child with great intellect. Volume may be irrelevant in science or the market. Ten sperm cells from an Einstein might trade in the marketple for 100 Billion Joe Namath. Maybe instead of saving for our childrens education we will save for their genetic sperm bank.
Does an increase in testosterone stimulate or inhibit sperm production?
yes vitamin e and calcium allow you to produce more sperm and semen
Does testosterone stimulate protein synthesis?

Does low testosterone cause ED?
Absolutely - testosterone is not only necessary to keep up the sex drive, it is also needed to maintain an erection.
Like all hormones, blood testosterone levels fluctuate and what causes symptoms for one man, may not be noticed by another. As a rule levels below 250 NGs/deciliter are considered low, and levels of above 350 NGs/deciliter are considered normal.
The use of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is limited to men with symptoms of erectile dysfunction and a testosterone level of less than 200 nanogram per deciliter - due to adverse reactions in TRT that include: skin and tissue irritation, prostate enlargement, breast tissue enlargement, aggravation of breast and prostate cancers, depression, elevation of red blood cell count and a worsening of CHF.
Men who have breast and/or prostate cancers should not use testosterone because testosterone can aggravate these cancers. Men over 40 should have a breast exam, digital prostate exam and a PSA level (prostate specific antigen) blood test, before starting testosterone treatment.
Because lower testosterone is a natural part of aging, when ED is diagnosed, doctors should also rule out a litany of other contributing factors such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, drug & alcohol use and depression. There are a variety of medications that can also cause ED.
