“The Endocrine Society recommends aiming for testosterone concentrations in the mid-normal range while choosing an approved formulation based on patient preference, pharmacokinetics, formulation-specific effects, treatment burden, and cost.”
Q&A
“In a double-blind randomized trial of 191 adults with borderline-high cholesterol, 3 grams per day of high-molecular-weight oat beta-glucan—taken as 1 gram three times daily for four weeks—reduced LDL cholesterol by about 6% and estimated 10-year Framingham cardiovascular disease risk by about 8% compared with a rice-powder control.”
