What should you know about trt?
two recent studies have suggested that trt raises the risk of heart attack in men. In february 2014, the fda stated they would study the risk of heart attack, stroke and death in men taking trt.

More studies need to be done to be certain whether and how trt changes men’s risk of heart attack.
