But we need to remember that the testosterone levels that people are using or should be using for this kind of supplement are fairly low because you're trying to treat to low normal.

And then if you start to go beyond that low normal, then we can get a lot of those unwanted side effects that we would get if we were taking testosterone for the bodybuilding purpose.

And so you might see voice deepening or unwanted hair growth.

So that's typically why, if you're a woman, you'd only want to use this in really low doses.

And we don't have the evidence to say that that low dose is going to do anything for muscle.

And it's probably not worth the risk to take the high dose when you could just lift weights.

We need to be careful with the hormone therapy conversation, though, because the data to date doesn't support the use of it for preventing cognitive decline or preventing cardiovascular disease.

And there's a lot of messaging out there that is sort of telling women, if you don't take hormone therapy, you're doomed.

And

That's not accurate.

And some women can't take hormone therapy.

So we need to kind of hold two truths where this is really powerful and can be really effective for symptoms.

Perhaps down the road, we'll learn that it has these other benefits.

Or it could go the other direction.

We don't know.

But prematurely making claims about all of these benefits that it's going to improve your lifespan, increase longevity, prevent disease, that's not accurate.

And women need to understand that something can be really valuable, but not a panacea.

Well, if it were true, I would say it.

I mean, when I got into this field, of course that was a question.

That was one of the major questions that I had.
