Will the real Testosterone please stand up
Hey bros,
Just when I think I've got this figured out I run into some kind of statement that totally throws me.
Like this one from Life Extension Foundation about HRT:
"Synthetic testosterone "steroid" drugs are chemically different from the testosterone your body makes and do not provide the same effect as natural testosterone. Some of the synthetic testosterone drugs to avoid using on a long-term basis are... testosterone propionate, cypionate, or enanthate."
Say what? It then explains that since "natural" test couldn't be patented drug companies came up with that semi-bogus stuff instead and the only "natural" test available is in the patches and the "creams, pellets and sublingual tablets". (http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-130c.shtml)
Could someone explain this to me? I thought sure I've read that people on HRT used cypionate or enanthate and I also thought the "cream" was based on Propionate.
