A member asked:
If i start using a prescribed testosterone supplement will it cause my body to stop producing its own testosterone?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: As with many biological systems, the end-product (testosterone) signals the system to make less of itself. This is known as negative feedback. With testosterone, the down-regulation of your own testosterone production may eventually recover after stopping use of supplemental testosterone.
