How
long does it take for TestoCreme(R) to
work?
Answer
: Don't expect miracles overnight.
Steroids are neither as dangerous nor as
magical as the media make them out to be.
It takes years of hard work and proper
diet to get huge muscles. Injectable
testosterones are the standard for
treatment but the levels fluctuate wildly
and there are several side effects.
Increasing the number of shots is not
safer or more potent.
The
skin delivery forms of testosterone
&emdash;patches, gels or creams are the
safest. This is the most 'natural " way
for hormones to enter the blood stream
without passing through the liver to be
metabolized or changed into "active
hormones". Results such as improved
libido, increased energy and increase in
morning erections take about 30 days.
Strength increase and muscle growth takes
90-180 days. Effects of T supplementation
on bone density and the prevention of
heart disease take more than a year.
What
causes side effects with testosterone use
? Are they reversible?
Answer:
The "first pass" through liver causes the
problems with injectables and oral forms
of testosterone plus the testoterone
levels go up and down during the week,
according to Dr. Findlay who developed the
Testoderm patch in 1985. For some men
replacement of testoterone usually require
two patches a day to get the beneficial
effects. * Side effects of injectable
testosterone include acne, impotence,
sterility, psychological disturbances,
thickening of the blood due to increases
in hematocrit and hemoglobin with
significant changes in fat levels or
lipids, breast enlargement, weight gain,
bloating, liver cysts, hepatitis, mood
swings, aggression and infections at the
injection sites. Most side effects
decrease after lowering the dose. It may
take years of injectable steroid use
before sexual function becomes obviously
diminished but it may occur in some men
after using anabolic injectables such as
Nandralone or "Deca" for only a few
months. Some side effects are permanent
and irreversible.
How
was TestoCreme developed and where does
the testosterone come from?
Answer
: TestoCreme® (TC™) was developed
in 1994 to treat a hormone deficient
patient in whom radiation destroyed his
pituitary gland. The 37 year old was
afraid of taking injections of
Testosterone every week and wanted an
alternative.
Testocreme®
is a lotion form of micronized natural
testosterone synthesized from soybeans..
Minimal side effects were found in users
of TC™ over 3 years. Some reported
effects among male users include
occasional acne, decrease in testicular
size, increase in penis size, increase in
energy and increase in sex drive and
morning erections.
In
this 10% testosterone cream, both the base
and testosterone are soybean derived and
micronized to provide a pleasing lotion
form which is rapidly absorbed. When used
in prescribed doses and monitored by twice
yearly testing in saliva, TC™
rejuvenates and enhances, the sexual
performance of both Men AND Women.
Why
would I use a cream over a shot which
gives me more
Testosterone?
Answer:
In addition to the convenience and control
offered by daily application of a very
small amount ( 1/4 teaspoon) of cream the
testosterone content is 100 mg. Only 10 mg
are needed for normal functioning and that
much is absorbed in men who have not
complained of rash or skin irritation.
In
younger men when TestoCreme is used twice
a day, this transdermal delivery lotion
mimics the natural testosterone cycle,
peaking in the morning and eliminating the
non-physiological peaks and valleys
associated with intramuscular (IM)
injections of testosterone.
Injections
should be given in a physician's office
and all injections must be given slowly to
prevent oily lumps and scar tissue from
forming in the muscles of the butt and
thigh. Sometimes more than 2 cc's of fluid
are used. This may deliver 400-600 mg of
testosterone in oil over a one to two week
period. This is enough for a month for
normal testosterone deficient men.
Why
do muscles get bigger with testosterone
supplements?
Answer:
Muscles increase in their size after 3-6
months of use with regular stimulation by
working against gravity. The cells enlarge
because the body increases protein
production in response to the increased
loads placed on the tissue or the presence
of increased androgens like testosterone.
Again, the advantage of anabolic steroids
is that they speed recovery and help
muscles, tendons and ligaments recover
quickly and therefore muscles can grow
more easily. One day of rest for each body
part worked is enough time.. Light weights
and multiple reps give your body more
definition. This is superior to bulk in my
opinion.
Why
do some men get more side effects than
others?
Answer:
Side effects are directly related to the
dose of hormones used and the toxic
effects of steroids abuse develop over
long periods of time by using excess
doses. The very high doses signal the
brain (pituitary) that too much
testoterone is circulating and hormones
try to shut down its production or shift
it to another form. Testosterone can turn
into estrogen, which causes female
changes, or DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
which causes more male changes, The total
testosterone dose can affect these
regulating systems.
Cycling
of hormones, which involves stopping and
starting the use of androgens to let the
body "recover" creates many problems.for
this reason. Testocreme is used on daily
basis to raise testosterone naturally
without cycling. Cycling results
indeficiency states of testosterone which
result in passivity, loss of sex drive and
erections, low energy, pot belly,
depression and a desire to increase
testosterone.
Why
does it seem that TestoCreme increases my
ejaculate fluid quantity? Am I becoming
sterile or more fertile?
Answer:
Most men notice that the frequency and
firmness of their erections increases. The
amount of fluid which is ejaculated
(squirted with orgasm) consisting of semen
from the prostate and sperm from the
testicles comprises 2-4 cc's per ejaculate
containing over 2-12 million active sperm.
With
TestoCreme use, the number of sperm are
drastically reduced creating temporary
sterility due to decrease in sperm count
below 100, 000. However the volume of
ejaculate is sometimes even increased due
to increased semen production by the
prostate gland from the increased sexual
activity. This fluid is regulated by the
hormones testosterone, estrogen and LH,
which must be in balance to obtain optimum
volume and performance.
HCG
injections ( human chorionic gonadotropin)
can increase testicle size and the amount
of sperm in the ejaculate termporarily.
Some men claim that eating lecithin and
oysters increases their ejaculate volume
as well. The only way to know is to
measure the volume. . Many men claim that
there is increased pressure when they
squirt.
