A member asked:

Can too many testosterone boosting supplements actually decrease the volume of semen you produce?

Yes Common: Actually any supplement containing testosterone or testosterone derivative often lowers the sperm count. In some cases the result is actually no sperm. And then getting sperm back may take a lot longer. That is a common problem.
