I wanted to tell you a little bit about how to raise your testosterone level naturally by taking some over the counter supplements. You see the commercials on TV. You want to be like Frank Thomas, “The Big Hurt,” increase your testosterone naturally, all the women go crazy, the girls love you, and better performance in the gym. All from taking some over the counter supplements that they will send you for $30 a month…well, they don’t work.
What happens is, you initially take some of these ‘proprietary blends’ and they do increase your testosterone a little bit so you get a little bit of a boost after a couple of weeks. Then your body reacts to that and converts some of that over to estrogens. That also increases your sex hormone binding globulin to get rid of that.
You get a little bit of an initial burst and feel kind of good for a few days, then you come back down to normal again.
There is no scientific proof that anything over the counter is going to significantly increase your testosterone. Nothing. Actually, there are scientific studies that show that in the long term, they actually lower your testosterone level.
Taking these over the counter supplements causes a little boost in the beginning, then you’re going to level off, and then your testosterone level actually goes down by taking these.
Nothing over the counter that you can take is going to significantly increase your testosterone level and make you feel good.
The only way to get testosterone, if you need testosterone, is to take testosterone. That’s it.
