I'm not a medical expert but I don't remember any connection between
testosterone and belly fat.

I'm pretty sure those commercials and that website are scams, it's not
testosterone they are selling, that I think is prescription only and has to
be monitored by a doctor.

The stuff you are seeing is like powdered newt claws or some other "ancient
chinese secret" which probably doesn't do anything expect raise your heart
rate or blood pressure so you feel different.

The same stuff was probably marketed last year as a fast weight reduction
magical powder and likely some kind of get-100-miles-per-gallon fuel
additive before that.

It's just crap to vacuum out your wallet. 

The real stuff, testosterone and estrogen for women are really dangerous
stuff to re-introduce into your body, supposedly triggers any cancer cells
floating around to high speed duplication mode besides possible major organ
failures.

Anyone claiming to sell it that doesn't require a prescription is just
selling fairy dust.
