    Another thing to consider is your liver. Taking a lot of extra supplements can put a strain on your liver. For example, if you're taking 5+ different supplements daily, throwing in your oral meds and then maybe an NSAID or Tylenol on top of that; your liver gets taxed trying to process this on a daily basis. I've experienced it first-hand myself.

    Have you ever seen the show "30-Days" on cable? They had one clown who was flabby, weak, married to a huge pig, depressed & he goes to an anti-aging clinic for help. The clinic gives him weekly Test injections & about 10+ oral supplements to take per day. Near the 30-day mark the guy's liver enzymes were off the chart - doy! The wife makes him go off the treatment & the show totally bashes TRT while preaching the virtues of just "growing old gracefully" with his fat-pig wife in-tow. Wish I could remember the TRT doc's name. Anyway, the guy's liver values were obviously off due to all the oral supplements & not the TRT. Of course, this wouldn’t have fit with the show's theme on bashing anti-aging clinics. And oh-yeah, I remember the show even blamed the guy's short-temper on the TRT as possible Roid Rage in action lol. Very entertaining it was...

    The show 30-Days is actually written & hosted by the same guy who made Super Size Me. Forget his name...
