T-Bol Safety
I am 18 years old and want to make sure this is safe to take. I have a feeling I have low T levels( barely any facial hair, not a lot of body hair), so while most people my age have no use for a T booster, I think it may help with my gains. I do not want to risk any major side effects or have to do a PCT.
Is the product safe and does it work well?

You should check with your MD prior to self-medicating a self-diagnosis.
However, it is safe and does work well.

just hold off. If you have low test levels at 18, screwing around with a test booster is probably the worst thing you can do. Also, don't speculate on your t levels just based off of facial and body hair- thats largely genetic and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with test. If you have other reasons to suspect you have low test, then talk to a doctor, and don't take a test booster. Chances are, you haven't finished developing and it'll all normalize in a couple of years.

it very well may be. Do you have any other reason to suspect low test besides body hair? That means absolutely nothing as far as I'm concerned, especially since you said your dad doesn't have much either.
Your test production at 18 is likely raging. If its not, then you just haven't reached full hormonal maturity, which is somewhat normal for a guy. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that you need to take a test booster until you've spoken with a doctor.

It is natural and does have little chance of any adverse health interactions for healthy individuals. If you really have low test levels at 18 there could be some underlying issues that you should know about before starting any supplement regimen. Really, if you think you have low test levels at 18 first step is to confirm instead of self-diagnose.

x2 on this, if you think it is a legit problem you should get the tests done, but i do not think body hair is any type of legitimate indicator of low test levels

This is what I like to see. Last night I saw an AX rep recommend mass fx to an 18yr old who was asking how many protein shakes he should have a day....Didn't sound like the kid was ready to me.
not to mention T-bol trumps the other natty boosters
I may get another infraction for this post but I wanted to say it

To clarify, I am not saying I have low test, I am saying I might.
I want to confirm this is a safe product for me to take.
If it is not, I will not take it. Plain and Simple.

i wouldn't say unsafe (i haven't heard anything to the contrary) but it seems to never be a good idea to mess with hormones that young. more likely it is just unnecessary. i suggest wait a few years before trying it out, as i've heard good things

Personally even though I represent the company and Ron might chastise me for this (no he wouldn't  ), if you suspect you have low test I'd rather you didn't use T-BOL even though I have no doubt about it's safety.

OP, ask MD first before you go and try and fix things yourself.

lack of facial hair isn't necessarily an indicator of low test levels (it rather indicates low androgen receptors at hair follicles - be happy you won't ever suffer from male pattern baldness).
Having said that, if you REALLY suspect you have low test levels (e.g. low libido, erection problems, lethargy, concentration problems, can't gain weight, fatigue etc...), then you MUST visit a doctor, regardless how well T-BOL or any other test-booster would work for you.
Such a young man is not supposed to suffer from symptoms of low androgen levels and if he does, the reason for it needs to be found and treated.
If you don't have any of these symptoms, you most likely do not have any problems with low testosterone.
Although it is reasonably safe to recommend T-BOL to anyone at 18+ y, I can't emphasize enough that I have never been a friend of recommending anything to teenagers that could alter their hormones.
You better wait a year or two before you start taking any test-booster.

You messaged me a long time ago, and I stopped posting on here. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT using that stuff. If you want to get bigger stronger, you need to eat, eat, eat, eat, and work out hard. The only good supplement that works is Blair's Protein in my opinion. And if you want a good trainer, go to Moorestown Weightlifting Club and ask for Victor. Victor trains Olympic Weightlifters and some for the USA Men's Weightlifting team.

sorry, but i dont understand how something like t-bol or activate xtreme or mass fx would alter hormones.
i know you said it could, but i still dont get it.
