I am 18, and I would also like to know the answer to this question.

They wont do anything for people our age as we already have lots of test.

So... what if you are 34?  What good will these do?  What are the benefits?
 
 

well... aside from testosterone being a controlled substance.  They'd make you build muscle a hell of a lot faster.  At the root of testosterone is the "stero" part.  It is a steroid hormone in the androgen group.  androgens promote protein synthesis and growth of tissues with androgen receptors.  Anabolic effects include, but are not limited to, growth of muscle mass and strength, and increased bone density and strength.
 
Unfortunately, the enzyme aromatase, converts testosterone to estrogen, and has that wonderful side effect of boosting estrogen levels, so if you're lucky, you grow breasts.

I am 21 years old, about 22.
 
So would taking testosterone pills make me fail a drug test? 
 
They aren't illegal are they?
 
So we got side effects as :  'grow breast'
 
I know xycience sales the pills, my friend had them and that is what got me to wondering.

Test boosters are legal.  actual test supplementation is illegal.
 
test boosters would not make you fail a drug test.
 
you're probably still full of testosterone at 22/23.  There is a reason they say "don't take if under 21."  But people vary.  i'm quite happy with my test levels at 23. 
 
I'd say hold off a few more years.  And if you do decide to do it, you might consider an anti-estrogen supp also. 

damn!  so even at age 34 (ack!), you would grow man boobs????
 
that sucks

I tried lately Testone,from Netrients. it combine a test booster and an anti-aromataze.The active ingredient competes with testosterone for the active sites of the aromatase enzyme. Binds irreversibly to the the site, preventing the enzyme to transform testosterone in oestrogen.So no worry about gettin man boobs ...
 
 

i recommend tribulus terrestis. its found in most sexual enhancers. so you get the best of both worlds haha and theyres so many studies going back and forth. its how your body handles and responds to it. so its definetley worth a whirl.

How much does some of these things cost?
 
Is it good for bulking?
 
Can you 'mix' it with other supplements?

trib is pretty cheap if you buy it on its own but if i you buy it in like a brand name form it can get pricey, theres no problem with taking other things while using trib

I am assuming you are talking about a test booster supplement such as something found in Designer Supplements Activate (active ingredient stinging nettle root).  My personal experience and the experience of others have found them very effective.  Certainly more results could be expected from someone of a more advanced age -ie-30 and above.
 
I have attached the link to the Activate product information.  Please  look through it and you will have a better understand of what these prodcuts can (and can't) do.

So I can take the Activate with some Xceed with an Nitric Oxide pills and whey/casien protein with no problems?  My health is not something I want to mess with.
 
How often do you take a testosterone supplement like Activate?
 
And it is good for bulking?
 
Yeah, I was just looking for a testosterone supplement, pills or powder form - didn't matter.
