No. At least, not unless you put "testosterone" in quotes. It contains phytosterols, chemicals which are somewhat similar to testosterone.

However, dihydrotestosterone is the more potent of the two, so the net effect is the opposite of what you might think: it tends to promote feminine characteristics, such as gynecomastia.

What size needle is used for testosterone injections?

I use a 23 guage 1 inch long needle for injections into my thighs. About 1 in 4 or 5 times that I do an injection I get a little bit of testosterone leaking back out of the puncture. I have used 22 guage 1.5 inch long needles but they seemed a bit to large in diameter and length. I am going to ask for 23 guage 1.25 inch long the next time that I get a refill of needles, this seems like it should be the perfect size for my needs. By the way, I am a big guy and if I were smaller, I think the 1 inch in length would be fine. When I first started my shots, I was getting a 1ml. shot once per month. My levels were still to low so I went to 1ml. every 2 weeks. This got my T levels where they should be but I broke out with acne on my chest and back. After some research I started doing 1/2ml. every week and in about 6 weeks the acne had went away. My T levels spiking after a 1ml. shot was the cause of the acne and is not a problem with the 1/2ml. shots. Everyone is different but don't be afraid to customize your treatment for your needs.

Can impotence be treated successfully?

An interesting question. I'd say, in most cases, yes. Absolutely yes.

The first thing to consider of course is that there's several possible causes of impotence, as the best treatment naturally depends on what the root problem is. Testosterone levels reducing is a natural part of aging, and often part of the issue.

As there's usually a physical cause behind impotence or erectile dysfunction, you'd be advised to see a doctor or men's specialist to establish what's what. Many things, such as disease, injury, hormone levels or drug side-effects can be responsible. Basically any disorder that impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause impotence, including also diabetes, hypertension etc. Incidence rises with age: about 20-40 percent of men at the age of 40 (depending on partial or total) and between 50-65 percent of men at the age of 65 experience impotence. However it is not an unavoidable part of getting older. So consulting with a doctor or specialist first is definitely an advantage!

However, if you're after a natural treatment that promotes testosterone production, a good option is probably a product called Herbal Ignite. It's been around for over a decade, and made in the oasis of New Zealand. The quality and efficacy of its ingredients is really good. You can get more info from their website, but basically as I understand it works by using the herb Tribulus Terrestris stimulating the body to produce more testosterone, like it did when you were younger.
