More or less true.

They didn't work though, which was a big disadvantage.

The first recorded use of some doctor making an extract of bull's testicles, actually for science, somewhere in the 19th century. He was widely ridiculed, and synthetic test was only produced in 1935 if I'm correct.

Actually, they kinda did work. That's why test became popular in the first place. Of course, modern test works better.

Looked it up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone#History
It was dog and guinea pig testicles the doc used instead of those of bulls, but memory served me correctly other than that. Doc reported "that his vigor and feeling of well-being were markedly restored but the effects were transient."

More importantly is it natty?

Because it was a motherfucking placebo effect, not an actual chemical difference. Un-alkylated testosterone doesn't survive digestion except in very minute percentages.

He opted to inject it instead of oral ingestion.

If you can hunt it is it paleo?

>>34533451
If they fall off is it fruitarian?

>>34533281
Is that why they call it test?

>>34533385
We learned about this in neuroendocrinology class, and while he was right about some things such as test providing benefits, his was most likely placebo

>random dude reports he feels better

Oh yeah dat some good science bro, this is also proof that preworkouts are neccesary.

Hope you're just bating man

Even if they tried, it didn't do anything. Testosterone was not successfully synthesized until the late 30s.

Look up how much testosterone is in a bull's testicle. It's not that much. And then factor in the inefficiency of ingesting it orally.

When you hear about the greats of the early bodybuilding era, or of the Ancients, for that matter, eating animal testicles and gaining vigor from it, realize it's just a myth.
