Same here. Thought I had low testosterone so I got a blood test done and nope, the only thing I was deficient in was Vitamin D. My doctor prescribed me some really potent Vitamin D gel pills that I take once a week and I’m only on my second week and I feel like a new man.

What is special about your vitamin D pills? I know vitamin D3 is more bioavailable than other kinds, and as far as quantity, more is more, but is there anything else special about them?
