I-i-is he correct in that, if that's what he wants to encourage?

Yes, he is.

Uh, but, but the, uh, there's no doubt about it, that testosterone is a very successful hormone.

But the, the point really is, does the American Army lack competitiveness because of universal low testosterone? This seems to me to be extremely unlikely for two reasons.

First of all, testosterone is very variable.

Goes up and down a lot from day to day, and if you, if soldiers, for example, are training under very severe conditions like carrying heavy weights and, uh, traipsing over moors or, or deserts in the heat or the cold, their testosterone levels will go right down.

So it's, it's a very reactive hormone.

So if I took testosterone supplementation, where would it be going? How does it achieve all of this within the body?
