Testosterone Levels and Staying Off Viagra

[panhandle]

Hi again;

I had the Clinical blood test, but the doctor had the receptionist call me  to make  an appointmment to see him on  July 11th, which mean's I will not have the result's until that time............stay tuned.

I had my blood test, however, when I received a report from my doctor's office, it was to make an appointment for July the 11th to see him, what that mean's I have no clue.,.....so no report until then.

There is question that I would like to ask of the facilitator, recently I was raeding of some enthusiasm about a product calledL-Carnitine, it is supposed to have some great effect on erection's,...........would you know anything about this,

One well-known study is listed under #1 here:

I haven't really had a lot of reports from men about it though...

About two week's  ago I said that I had to wait for an appointmment to see my doctor for the result's of blood test to if my doubling my prescription from 40 mg to 80 mg twice a day had made any dramatic changes in the level of my Testosterone.

I saw him on thursday last, and he informed me that I had increased from 10.5 to 12.6 on the scale, I was not sure what he would say about continuing the increase without consulting him , but it was a positive visit, and he listened to me when I told him that I had researched certain Urologist's and their recent updating, or recent finding's, on the subject  of Testosterone level's now considered appropriate for men in my age group.

I said (causiously) that it might be considered OK  for men in their 40's, 50's and 60's to have a level of 15 , but for an older men(like me)  it is now considered, by many specialist's, better for us to be in the 15 to 25  range to accomplish our goal's  ..  so I begin the new prescription this coming Monday....will keep  you apprised.

He was thoughtful for a moment, and them suggested that he prescribe 100 mg twice a day for the next month or two.

PANHANDLE, what's in the prescription?

When I questioned the pharmasist on the content's, I knew that it was solely "Natural Testosterone" , but I was still curious, so I asked again, and I was told that it was finest natural Testosterone deived from Soy, the only chemical used, I was told, is one necessary to convert the soy to  a product easily assimilated by the body.

When he say "natural", he should mean "bioidentical", which is what you care about.  If you have doubt, ask for clarification and make sure it is bioidentical.

Also, soy-derived testosterone are very common.  Even Androgel is derived from soy.  I don't think many soy proteins end up in the product, but they do warn about potential allergic reactions:

Hi PeakT;
Thank you for the update on Andrgel 1%, ...it would appear that it is applied externally, while mine is taken internally.

The ANDROGEL dosage is in grams whilst mine is in milligrams......somewhat confusing to a novice like me.

Both are on prescription too, I thought at first it was over the counter.  I have only been taking the new 100 mg dosage for the last 10 day's, and since thing's natural take longer, I have no news of any great improvement's over the last report, however, I keep thinking positive...
To be continued.

Taken internally?  You mean this is a testosterone product that you take like a pill or capsule?? 

This isn't making sense if that's the case.  No one takes testosterone orally any more...

And I have never hard of Androgel tablets or capsules - it's only topical as far as I know.

If you could clarify a little more about the doctor, where you are located, what kind of pharmacy you got and so on - that might help.
