Testosterone Supplementation Improves Spatial and Verbal Memory in Healthy Older Men

The idea is to get a proper basic amount, not necessarily more. For men who are deficient in testosterone , there is known to be reduced memory, and other measures of brain function, as this
double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed.

Testosterone - Note: Replacement Dose is typically 100 mg/week.

Testosterone Supplementation Improves Spatial and Verbal Memory in Healthy Older Men. Cherrier MM, Asthana S, Plymate S, et al, Neurology, July 2001;57(1 of 2):80-88.

In 25 healthy male volunteers who were between 50 and 80 years of age, subjects completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which weekly intramuscular injections of either 100 mg of testosterone enanthate or saline placebo were given for 6 weeks. Circulating total
testosterone levels increased an average of 130% from baseline at week 3 and 116% at week 6 in the treatment group. Due to the aromatization of testosterone, estradiol increased an average of
77% at week 3 and 73% at week 6 in the treatment group. There was significant improvement in cognition seen for spatial memory, spatial ability and verbal memory in older men treated with
testosterone compared with baseline and the placebo group.

I can confirm it does

I can't yet, but hope to say it does when the time comes.

Glad to hear this holds some truth from your personal experience Marcus...

Do you think perhaps this thread would better suit the over 40 forum? I highly doubt many of the new guys over there will venture into this area. And I know this would come in handy over there.

At 43, I can attest to the memory benefits of testosterone therapy . However, it can be enhanced even more by adding other hormones like pregnenolone and DHEA, which also get depleted as we get older. The correlation with pregnenolone and memory/cognitive function is remarkable and should be researched by anyone over 40yo who is looking at HRT. Just my .02
