Testosterone / Estrogen in men.

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Good health comes from natural things, such as a good diet and exercise.

While there are some people with medical conditions which require treatment, healthy people are better off not taking any drugs.

It is a money making tactic, when drug companies suggest people without medical conditions should take drugs for prevention. They can make a lot of money by getting people to believe they need their product.
I hope your not saying that testosterone is a drug ?

You will note I said Testosterone , Not Testosterone Cypionate,, which is the ester Cypionic acid, bound to the Test chemical structure, in the manufacturing process.

This gives the test a extended half life of about 12 days, whereas pure test would only have a half life of 2 to 3 hours without the ester attached to the test molecule.

If one was to say testosterone is a drug, then almost every man and woman could be said to be on the drug testosterone, as it is a natural hormone manufactured by your own body.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

So how do you solve a hormone problem in someone who's body does not produce the main hormone that affects every part of their body.?
