Use of "Glandulars"; Pituitary

Is there an opinion of these type products, like Pituitary, Adrenal, Thyroid...derived from Cow/Pig/Sheep?

I'm looking for a way to increase my prolactin level, I've tested clinically low twice while on TRT....5.3 and most recently 4.7, just contemplating on where Dr Saya could take me in this area; Hypoprolactinemia. All the talk of Prolactin is most all HIGH Prolactin. I'm looking for my libido/drive/ED issues, just one more place to look.
 
I remember "back in the day" reading the body building mags that most all the pros took glandular products. Not sure how much effect they had really, but I know a lot of them swore by them. Interesting you don't really see these pushed anymore. I would be curious to see if there is any real science to them or just bro science.
 
We're trying a pharmaceutical, Reglan, IIRC it's used with females that don't lactate after birth or something like that. Using a real low dose of 5mg 1XD for 6 weeks, followup testing next week to see if it's raised my level any. Subjectively I would say inneffective.

Free Testosterone

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