Beware, T-Nation silences members opinions on testosterone boosting supplements!

Systemlord · Jul 12, 2024

I had replied to a moderator responding to a new member asking about Biotest T boosting supplement efficiency rating. I asked if they was any clinical trials evaluating the efficiency of said supplement.

I stated a fact that the majority of test boosting supplements are unsubstantiated claims of efficiency, are scams and is unregulated by the FDA.

Instead of providing links, facts to disprove my claims and start an honest discussion, I was silenced within minutes!

Member: I just want to make sure I have a clear, honest answer.

Moderator’s response.

No. It cannot take you beyond natural physiological levels of T, only boost it up to “high normal.” So, you are natural: it’s your own testosterone, just elevated production or more free T. WADA seems to agree. I didn’t see it on their banned substance list, but I may have missed it given all its names.

You have been silenced from the forum.

Reason - No constructive purpose to their actions other than creating dissent within the community

Actually, if the supplement was proven to effectively boost testosterone levels, even though the method was by enhancing natural production, it would be banned by WADA just like enclomiphene is banned.

You have to understand that forum sponsors enjoy a special protected relationship on a forum, and the discussions around their product are carefully curated and a form of paid advertising. You aren't going to be allowed to interfere with that.

One more reason why ExcelMale is better than the rest. In my experience, reasonable criticism of sponsors is tolerated. Less criticism is needed when the sponsors include quality organizations such as Defy Medical and Maximus — but I have offered modest criticisms of each without any interference.
