Lies, Lies, LIES:  The REAL Risks Behind Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Every so often, I hear another guy talking…

Not about his wife…or his job…or his children, but about how tired he feels...

…how he doesn’t have the spark anymore

...how put in hours at the gym and he can’t seem to get stronger or lose his pouch

…and the occasional embarrassment because he has “bitch tits” or excess fat accumulating over his chest, making his look like he has breasts!

So, every time I hear of a guy talking about this, I take a mental note, jot it down, and go about my day.

It wasn’t until recently – when going through my notes – that I have discovered a pretty common thread:

Almost all of these men are at – or over – the age of 45…all have stressful lives and jobs…and all want a solution.

So where do they turn?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Look, it’s a fact that each and every one of us is getting older.

And with your age creeping upwards, there are a number of issues that arise.

Things such as creaky knees, less energy and strength, and even a reduction bedroom performance seem to top the list of complaints that older men have.

And most of them chock it up to getting older..

But is that the only reason?

Probably not!  In fact, there is probably something else going on – namely a decrease in testosterone.

Now, testosterone is a potent hormone that is found in both men and women.  However, men possess higher levels of testosterone – of the “manly” hormone.

And as you get older, there’s a good chance your testosterone levels are starting to decline – not rapidly – but a slow and gradual drop –about one percent per year after you hit the ripe age of 20.

Plus, the older you get, the worse it becomes.

In fact, research has shown that decreasing testosterone levels get worse as you age.  Studies show that the incidence of
low testosterone increases from 20 percent at age 60, to 30 percent in men over 70, and 50 percent in men who are 80 and older.

So most men want to alleviate the problem and increase their testosterone – which is why they rush out to the doctors for a prescription of testosterone therapy.

But is this the safest method for increasing your testosterone out there?

Risk of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy is one way to boost your testosterone levels and return the swagger that you once had.

However, before you rush out and ask for some gel, an injection, or some crème, there is something you should know:

Testosterone replacement therapy may be linked to poor heart health and risk for death!

In fact, a study published this year showed that men 65 years and older and younger men were more at risk for having a heart attack when compared to those taking a placebo.

To further compound the issue, a study published last year showed that men who already had coronary artery disease showed high death rates and heart problems, again compared to the placebo group.

And another study, this one performed in 2010, had to be stopped early due to many of the older men suffering heart-related issues.

Although testosterone replacement therapy may be a viable option for increasing a man’s testosterone, it may not be as safe as previously thought.

Now, before you get down on yourself, there is something you should know…
 

*** Reclaim Your Vigor, Sex Drive, And Libido WITHOUT Using Dangerous Prescription Meds ***

Yes, the preferred method of increasing testosterone levels is through prescription meds.

But they are expensive…dangerous…and may not even be needed by most men.

So what should you do?

Well, the facts are pretty straightforward and clear – you need a natural alternative to reclaim the passion, virility, and stamina of your youth.

Something with ZERO side effects (well, except a harder erection…able to do ANYTHING you want with energy to spare…and the stamina and drive to please your partner over and over again)…

Something that will make you FEEL like a teenager again WITHOUT putting your heart at risk…

Something that will once again return the “umph” to your sex drive…

That something you need is…
