Title: Testosterone
Post by: Jason.Bailey on November 16, 2012, 02:40:35 AM
Was wondering if anybody knows about T HRT and age?? Like how old is too old to start? I'm 26 and I'm worried that it won't have any effect and no changes will happen if I'm too old..

I know a guy on youtube that started HRT in his 50s.

Age doesn't matter.

Well...unless you're very young, pre-puberty but that's a different story.

I'm 50 and it works fine. Age doesn't make as much difference as you may think.

Make sure you have your T levels checked. If it's too high your liver will convert it to estrogen and you will have all kinds of problems.
Heavy drinking will complicate things also.
