Testosterone naturally decreases with age.

You can get Testosterone via trans-dermal patches but this synthetic testosterone has a HIGH risk of cancer.

None of the “pills” work.

You can nominally improve your testosterone levels by lifting HEAVY weights and eating red meat.

Besides that...not much else you can do.

Well said. At 61 years of age my highest reading was tested at 427. As a former college and professional athlete, I tried testosterone therapy. Made amazing gains in the gym over 3 to 4 months and my body composition changed significantly. However the side effects too extreme. Terrible anxiety attacks and emotional issues. Stopped the therapy with NO regrets...God intends for men to age gracefully, lose testosterone so that Grandpa is not an unmanageable patriarch with the libido of a seventeen-year-old.

I had low-T years ago when my wife and I were trying to conceive. My urologist put me on CLOMID. My T and sperm counts went through the roof. We conceived a short time later and our son is now 22.

Ouderkirk, maybe none of the pills you’ve tried have worked, but you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Marked improvement for a man can be achieved by taking 400mg Tongkat Ali and 1200 mg Maca Root daily. Even with no exercise (due to injury) I lost 20 lbs. in 90 days and gained significant energy after starting just those two supplements.

Arginine, citrulline, coleus forskolii, CoQ10, intermittent fasting, high fat low carb, strenuous engagement of all major muscle groups for 20 minutes 4x/week, all of these will help.

I still can’t lift weights due to spinal injury, but i’m in better shape in my mid-50s than I was 20 years ago (and I got PLENTY of exercise 20 years ago.)
