The FDA Determined Studies Linking Testosterone to Heart Attacks Were Flawed.

This great article was written by Lee Myers in response to a letter that the FDA sent to a petition group that requested the FDA to regulate testosterone replacement products more strictly. The FDA denied the request and gave them details on why the studies the petition group cited were flawed or poorly designed.

"When I read this letter, my jaw dropped, because in it the FDA rebutted the anti-TRT (Testosterone replacement therapy) studies better than any other corporate or private source that I have read. The charges against testosterone therapy were very serious, claiming that the that TRT increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. For a year or two, I was on pins and needles wondering if the FDA would create restriction or limit access to testosterone. To my great delight, the FDA actually did the opposite and left detractor licking their wounds. For once, I feel that the FDA is powerfully watching for us little guys - the ones whose lives have been so transformed by the "Power of T." (Not everyone has a great experience with TRT, but for many of us, it was a miraculous and life-changing experience.)


The FDA's response was so compelling, in my opinion at least, that I would urge anyone that is either on or considering going on testosterone therapy to read it. It is definitely not light reading but is definitely worth the effort."

This satisfies us at ExcelMale.com since we took a strong stance against the studies mentioned in this FDA analysis right after they were published:

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
