I don't care much about young users but I've always wondered why the body stops producing adequate amounts of it as we age. Is it because you're too old to have viable offspring by then (with few exceptions) so there are no selective pressures to maintain testosterone levels? If so, do the benefits of TRT far out weigh the risks at old age?

- elektrontamer 3y agoOh I get the aging part but it just seems so much easier to fix/maintain compared to aging in other tissues. It's like evolution should have gotten that right.
