What Are The Repercussions Of Taking Over The Counter Testosterone Supplements?
Question: Can taking an off the shelf testosterone supporting agent with potential estrogen modulating characteristics with creatine cause aggressiveness or anger
Brief Answer:
Possibly
Detailed Answer:
One can never predict what can occur with such supplements. This is so because they are not regulated by the FDA like prescription medications are. With the latter, one is certain of the ingredient and therefore we can anticipate side effects accordingly.
With off the shelf products, especially the ones claiming to boost hormones, it is very unreliable to predict side effects, as one is not sure what it really contains.
But if it is found to have excessive testosterone then it is possible to have aggressiveness as a result of too much testosterone in the blood and body
