question from a user

Just stared taking testosterone cypionate via prescription for hypogonadism. 260-280 range. I’ve been taking tongkat and fadogia for a couple months. Should I continue taking these supplements, or cycle off?

AlphaMD's Answer

Generally speaking, and supplements meant to increase natural testosterone production will no longer have that effect once you start TRT. Once you start TRT, the "factory is closed", and so you will no longer produce your own testosterone. Taking supplements to boost production will no longer have the desired effect.

That being said, tongkat ali is said to be a good antioxidant, and Fadogia agrestis may have some cause some vasodilation and improve blood flow. So they may have other health benefits beyond their primary use.
