    I'm a little surprised that with all the natural test boosting mentioned here, no one's discussed the importance of sleep. The stat I've heard is that 6 hours of sleep, as opposed to 8, can drop T as much as %60.

    Oh, and I'm not sure about actually raising T, but Tribulus is a very effective adaptogen. I would easily put it above ginseng. I feel like a different person when I'm on it.

    Simply a different issue. Low fat diets are also bad for T, and studies find about 30% of cals optimal for T production. Sleep, nutrition, training, etc. are all factors of healthy T production, and no doubt, people should attempt to optimize T production via those means if possible. If interested, my thoughts on "T booster" type supplements:

    I read your article. I agree with you there. I understand that tribulus may or may not increase T and that any increase is only minimal. All I know is that it makes me feel better than I do without it. Would you agree that ginseng has beneficial properties? That's what I equate trib to, but it has more effect on me (I've never noticed an effect with ginseng).

    The effect that living a healthy lifestyle and eating green veggies has on T is all I expect from trib. I'm under a lot of physical stress right now, that's why I'm taking it.

    If you feel it's helping, I say keep using it. I just report the facts as they exist. The data on ginseng I can tell you is all over the place, some studies finding effects, many finding nadda.

    I'm planning on asking my doctor about this as soon as I get insurance. I don't want them to find anything now because it wouldn't be covered, so I'm going to wait.

    I'm only 20 years old, but the listed symptoms fit pretty well. I've actually been wondering about this for a while, but never brought it up with the doctor or my parents (the doctor mostly because I don't have insurance, like I said before).

    It's a simply fairly inexpensive test, so best to do it sooner then later. Good luck.

    I'm still going to try to find insurance here sometime soon (or get a job where it's an option). I need it anyways, especially after getting shot last year with no insurance. I almost feel afraid to do anything potentially dangerous because I can't handle anymore medical debt seeing as I owe enough for a small house right now.

    Australian Firm To Sell World's First Armpit Testosterone Lotion In US
    Updated: Friday, 26 Nov 2010, 11:30 AM EST
    Published : Friday, 26 Nov 2010, 8:43 AM EST
    By Jane Lee / news.com.au

    An Australian company will sell the world's first armpit testosterone lotion in American stores next year after receiving approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, news.com.au reported Friday.
    The lotion, created by Melbourne-based drug delivery firm Acrux, treats men with hypogonadism, a disease which produces low testosterone levels and includes symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, low sexual desire and performance.

    Axiron -- an anagram for "iron ax" -- is the first testosterone replacement therapy to be applied in the armpit, with current treatments including a gel for the upper body and regular injections.

    Only available by prescription, Axiron will be sold for the first time next year in the US, which has the world’s largest market for testosterone replacement, worth about $1 billion a year.

    Acrux CEO Richard Treagus said: "What we’ve found is the population is aging in the US, Australia and around the world, and with [that comes] greater awareness around men’s health issues; more are now receiving treatment for them."
