Test speeds aging process?

**zaggahamma** · 09-12-2006, 02:00 PM

WTF?

I was under the impression that I was anti-aging with my TRT.

I am following a thread about the question if test can cause premature graying of the hair and they are saying that test speeds the aging process.

Can anyone elaborate on this fact/theory?

Thanks

First we have to figure out what you mean by "test". Are we talking HRT doses or AAS doses? EVERYTHING that is supposed to be good can be bad if you take too much. If you drink too much water too fast it can kill you. See what I mean...

I know test can speed up hairloss. This is not due to speeding up the aging process but rather the conversion of test into DHT but some uneducated guys may think it is rapid aging.

If it is true then Arnold is the best looking 400 year old man I have ever seen!

well, dose wasn't mentioned in the thread I was looking at today...did you see the thread? about test causing gray? so...i really didn't have a dose in mind when I asked the question here...but either way low dose/medium dose/high dose....but i doubt i'll ever take high doses anyway so for the sake of this thread let's say 200-300wk.

I just read it.

Guys repeat alot of BS that they hear in the gym and they think it is fact. I just spent some time searching and found nothing about test causing rapid aging. I did find about a half a million hits about test being used as an anti aging program, some say it is the real deal and others question it.

If you find any studies that deal with this please post here.

thanks for doing the search spyke....what's your take about the graying....b4 i even saw that other thread I assumed that the recent grays i got on my chest were from the test....just seemed too coincidental to be anything else
