I was thinking about this the other day and I can’t truly understand why industry chose to go with yams or soy and not actual biological cholesterol. I understand it’s bio identical at the end of it all, but you gotta wonder is it truly the same thing?
The way I simply broke it down is like this. Bio identical testosterone really is just a smart way to say a copy of testosterone, but truly isn’t the same thing.
The way I compared it is like having a canvas painting that’s actually painted with actual paint, an original painting. And then you have another canvas with the same painting, but instead of it being freshly painted like its original, it’s a printed copy of it. Still the same artwork. Identical. But truly in fact not the same at all.
Testosterone synthesized from animal cholesterol being the fresh painted original canvas with actual paint. And Testosterone synthesized from yams or soy being the printed canvas copy.
With my understanding, although its molecule is identical, its source doesn’t harness the same metabolic biological availability. I mean I would think it doesn’t…
I don’t know though…
I just feel like it doesn’t make any goddamn logical fucking sense to synthesize testosterone from a yam or soy only to then further alter that plant derived testosterone molecule to be identical to that of the human/animal testosterone molecule.
I can play conspiracy hippo with a bunch of speculation and uncertainties, but I’m not going to do that because unless you’re in the group that made that decision you’re never going to truly know. And that’s fine.
However! what I do know is this. Synthesizing exogenous testosterone from animal cholesterol in a lab is far quicker, easier, and more cost effective than doing it the “industry” way that’s currently being done.
And so…I’m just left with wondering why?
Again, keeping the conspiracy hippo outta this. The only thing that maybe sorta kinda has logical reason for something so haphazardly stupid is I guess maybe for the testing of biomarkers and metabolites?
But, that really doesn’t matter outside of a competitive sport that doesn’t allow the use of exogenous testosterone.
So, for the non-professional athlete, just the typical end user, it truly doesn’t make any goddamn fucking sense. To me at least.
Anyone else wonder this too?
