Before trying T, anyone ever look into something like this?

I don't know what the policy on links here is, but I was just looking at this Testosterone Booster from GNC called "T-Up". Anyone know if this kind of thing does any good for those who aren't on T yet? My only real concern at the moment is the facial hair...I've never been on T but for some reason I grow a strange amount of facial hair for a biological female. I'm wondering if this could possibly help me grow more of it... http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4403188

Yes.
:]
I love this sort of stuff to be honest.
Make sure to pay attention to key ingredients though and do your research, because there are some things consistently recommended that will naturally boost your testosterone levels.
A lot of this stuff also works better with people who work out as well, so as long as that's in your regimen, I'd say something like this isn't a bad investment. Some of the tribulus terrestris anti-aromatase complexes (which would block counteractive estrogen - I think this is important for us) are really good - also cheaper than this product. I personally have no input as to whether or not you should get this particular product because it lists none of the active ingredients in nutrition facts and just lists it as "The Ultimate Underground Testosterone Boosting Complex". Kind of iffy to me for something so expensive.

You might want to also look at bodybuilding.com and prosource.net. They tend to sell more of the products you're looking for than GNC does - even though I do like GNC as well, it's not the place to purchase testosterone boosters in my opinion.


Hopefully this is helpful to you. I am really into this sort of stuff.

Nonetheless, please remember a lot of these supplements are usually geared towards athletes though and are not meant to act as a substitute for actual testosterone.

Definitely do your research on every ingredient. Tribulus terrestris does have a toxicity to it and it's usually advisable not to take it long term.

I didn't think I need to mention cycling here as its usually ready information anyone that reads supplement labels. I'm not sure if this is directed towards me or not, but yeah.

You need functioning testicals for stuff like that to work, and even then it probably won't do much. There really isn't a good alternative to T. I tried various crap, did a lot of research on natural transitioning. Really the only results people get are acne, the discovery of body hairs they searched all over for, and the illusion of a deeper voice. Lord knows what its actually doing to you. Don't waste your money. Real t isn't that much anyway.

I absolutely hate taking supplements or medication of any sort, and I basically will never do it unless I know the side effects of it won't harm me for CERTAIN. So right now it's just kind of a thought in the back of my mind, something to research. I'm just hopeful to find something to use until I can get on T, I'm still trying to figure out the process and who I can talk to in this area and stuff like that. I'm really new to the transitioning process even though I've wanted to do it since I was probably 12 years old. It's going to take a lot of time and searching to figure it all out but I just want a starting point for now :/

ALWAYS remember, if it is too good to be true it isn't real.

Have a pharmacist advise you. Herbal supplements can be very toxic in combination with other drugs and treatments.

There's no saying for sure that T won't harm you. But at least it will under the supervision of a doctor.

it probably only works in men. our bodies arent stimulated into making T the same ways as guys bodies are. so if you can find something that is ment to increase T in biological females that would work.

The interesting thing is there's a lot of natural things that claim to increase testosterone even in women because of the fact that a women's testosterone levels can greatly lower after menopause and they try to raise it...I can't imagine those methods would ever raise it how much an FTM would want it raised though lol

Actually on a lot of these products that carry those ingredients there's nothing about cycling on there. The average consumer would just keep taking it. The companies who make it are out to sell products, not issue warnings.

Most I've seen actually mention this on the actual bottle, but I guess it could depend on who and where you buy the supplements from.
Personally, I've never encountered much of a problem with this though.

Nonetheless, I get what you're saying.
