I ran across this site while searching the effects of excess testosterone supplementation in women. It’s a group called Winona and they talk glowingly about the positive effects of TRT for women.
“When testosterone levels drop the benefits of replacing the lost TRT are many. Testosterone levels in women help drive lIbido, sexual response, orgasm, and overall sexual satisfaction.2 Testosterone also helps improve lean muscle mass; these added muscles can increase metabolic rate and helps with weight loss.3 Replacing low testosterone to normal levels can also improve energy and decrease fatigue.4,5
Testosterone helps with brain function by improving concentration, clarity of thought, and overall cognition.6 Testosterone improves bone health and may be breast protective.1,3,6 Finally, testosterone replacement to your normal youthful levels has an anti-aging component for skin, hair, and nails and has been shown to improve the overall quality of life and a general feeling of wellbeing.5
We use DHEA, sometimes in combination with anastrozole, to gently and safely return testosterone to normal levels. DHEA is a testosterone precursor. The body naturally breaks down DHEA into a combination of estrogen and testosterone. This is a natural way to replace falling testosterone to normal levels without risking going too far and ending up with dangerously high testosterone levels. Anastrozole is a medication that can block the conversion of DHEA to estrogen. By adding anastrozole, more of the DHEA ends up as testosterone. This can give a slightly higher testosterone boost for women that need a bit more testosterone.”
I find it interesting that they mention taking an AI like anastraziole as being key, but portray it as a means of preventing “dangerously high levels of testosterone”. Obvious deference to their estrogen sugar daddys.
That said, I have 3 questions:
1. Is low testosterone as “detrimental” to women as it is to men?
2. Would DHEA supplementation along with a better/safer aromatase inhibitor (aspirin, aromisin, MB, ondasterone,) be recommended?
3. Is there a better/safer way to increase testosterone in women?
