I don't know why organizations change their names to something that makes them less recognizable.

While I believe that doctor-monitored use of hormones can be beneficial, the ad I keep seeing has it aimed at ladies, primarily, and I would slot it under 'beauty treatment' the way HGH is supposed to youth-enize you. Of course there are talking heads in lab coats and testimonials, but there is something about using a hormone that several governing bodies of several sports have banned. It makes me look sideways at these folks because it's seemingly treated like it's no big thing. Of course, the small, teeny print could be quietly saying "Take at own risk; purchase doesn't confer liability to seller. blahblahblah Can'tSueUscakes."

DrSpaceman73 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 The healthy salad is because you have to watch certain vegetables with it K in it when on Coumadin. You will find some doctors touting things like HGH and Testosterone as youth enhancers. It's not mainstream science, but there is a small branch of doctors practicing "longevity medicine" for basically rich people willing to pay cash for anything that use these sorts of treatments and will prescribe it. Honestly there may be something to it, but it's also hard telling what the downsides are. Testosterone levels in men do decline as you age, that one kind of half mainstream/half fringe, depending in if you are treating a truly low level or supplementing a level less than normal.
