A bad thing? No.

Reducing testosterone is a bad thing though.

The hormonal system isn’t the same as it is for females. We don’t have cycles and the female equivalent doesn’t suppress one of the primary female hormones.

In Scruffy’s opinion, any male who takes a pill that suppresses testosterone production is a moron.

The results of a study were presented Sunday at the annual Endocrine Society meeting in Chicago, IL. Researchers said a proposed hormone pill, dimethandrolone undecanoate, could reduce testosterone and other hormone levels responsible for sperm production without causing any serious side effects.

It was one study done. I don't see the point of freaking out over what could happen because of one test.

With that being said, I'm curious how many people on this board have run out to the gas station to buy testosterone boosters.

This molecule has been around for over 20 years in various studies. It is an anadrogenic/anabolic steroid that also has progestogen activity. It lowers testosterone production the same way other steroids do. It has actually been studied as a testosterone replacement therapy in men with low T. The dangerous part is that it does not get aromatized to estrogen/estrogen-like molecule while eliminating testosterone, which would get partially converted to estrogen. Long term the elimination of estrogen may cause problems in bone mineralization and cholesterol.
