Title: A Musing About T
Post by: Silver on May 05, 2009, 12:30:51 AM
So. . . Just curious, what would happen if you just drank T? Because I hear a lot about methyltest pills killing your liver and the like but what would happen if one just drank some pure T?

This is not a self-medicating thread.

I gotta say this...why on earth do you want to know? Just curious?

You would fry your liver quickly. Maybe your entire digestion system... starting with the mucus lining in your mouth.

Yeah, I'm just curious. Biology fascinates me. But I've just wasted your time.

After a bit of thought, I just realized how stupid that question was. Your body would simply take it apart into its monomers. (Cholesterol-based, right?)

It would just be useless. It wouldn't fry your mouth, because that would mean it would probably fry your blood vessels as well.

I wouldn't try it. First of all it is suspended in oil which is a lot of fat. More importantly, it could really damage your liver. I know someone who used steroid (testosterone) pills and he got drug-induced hepatitis. His eyes and skin turned bright yellow--eek! That is why oral testosterone is not prescribed unless it is being taken in very small doses.
