Report Details Trend of Unregulated Testosterone Injection Use
What happened
A report detailed a trend where young men are increasingly using testosterone injections to accelerate physical gains, a practice known as “testmaxxing.” These individuals often source the hormones without a prescription, even though testosterone replacement therapy is intended for men with clinically diagnosed deficiencies. The report noted that these users often bypass medical professionals to avoid being advised against the injections.
