Testosterone hype on the Tube faces health warnings and regulatory scrutiny
A Telegraph investigation shows aggressive ads for testosterone replacement therapy on the London Underground, pushing the idea that many men have low testosterone. Experts say such claims exaggerate prevalence, and using TRT without medical need can raise health risks like blood clots, strokes, infertility and addiction. Regulators (ASA, MHRA) are reviewing industry practices after past advertising breaches, and a study from Imperial College London notes a surge in online clinics promoting testosterone treatment with insufficient diagnostic testing. A first-person piece by a journalist who tested his own levels found normal results, underscoring that not all men need TRT and urging caution against internet-driven hype.
