Everyone is different, so results will vary. Some benefits will be felt within days, while others may take weeks or months. From what I've read (more and more lately), proper hormone balance (not just testosterone, but that's a biggie) is as important to good health as vitamins. Chronic pain, some medical conditions, opioid medications, and other factors can affect hormone levels. Thyroid plays a role as well. It's possible that you may always have low T or other levels, and may need to supplement them, just as you may need to supplement certain vitamins.
