Men often look for testosterone boosters since they’re\nknown to help them with their masculinity (libido, sperm production, and\ndevelopment of muscle mass, among others), but how much testosterone is too\nmuch testosterone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hormone is produced in the testes in men and the ovaries in women -yes, the female also develop testosterone, but in very much lower levels. In adult males (ages from 19 to 49), normal “T Levels” go from 249 to 836 nanograms per deciliter (ng\/dL) in their 20’s is when men reach their peak, and from ages 50 and older, the body reduces its own production, and the levels drop from 193 to 740 ng\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes men start taking testosterone to boost their “manhood” (penis, hair growth, muscle mass, etc.), but it turns out their levels are normal, and they produce an unbalance when getting the “T” from supplements, which can carry health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men, bodybuilders and sometimes athletes, take anabolic\nsteroids, a\nsynthetic or human-made variation of testosterone, that will “help”\nthem with muscle building and male sex characteristics or to help them in their\nperformance, and like everything, taking these supplements can carry negative\neffects in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too much is never good<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the acne and the swelling in hands and feet, there are some long-term effects, some of which are serious and permanent, like kidney issues and failure (long-term), or liver damage and tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also cardiac risks of taking too much testosterone. Enlarged heart, higher blood pressure, and alterations in the blood cholesterol are common, and they all skyrocket the risks of dying of heart attacks and strokes, and that includes younger males.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the vascular system, the anabolic\nsteroids cause a higher risk of having blood clots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are too young and start using these\nsupplements, some of the consequences are stunted growth (because the hormones\nwill tell your body to stop bone growth) and stunted height (if you use them\nbefore a growth spurt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infertility and a low sex drive are other consequences.\nThe adult male may suffer sex organ shrinking, decrease sperm count, hair loss\nand breast enlargement. In the long term, prostate cancer risk is increased,\nand although the chances of surviving this type of cancer are good if detected\nin an early stage, the patient may need the removal of the prostate and will\ncarry different treatments for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay alert! Prostate\ncancer is a disease that affects men over their 50\u2019s and the risk of having it\nincreases as they get older, so it\u2019s highly recommended an annual visit to your\nurologist to run tests for an early detection whether you\u2019ve taken anabolic\nsteroids or not. However, don\u2019t let the age factor deceive you. Some men can\ndevelop prostate cancer at a younger age. Check yourselves!<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men can also suffer from mental issues. While anabolic\nsteroids are not considered addictive because they don’t cause high levels of\ndopamine, they can lead to negative mental effects like abnormal increased\nlevels of jealousy. Change in male behavior, like aggressiveness, delusions,\nmania, and impaired judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
