Very true. To argue that we're living with natural hormone levels is silly. We ahave a rediculously different environment than our ancestors.
The Massachusetts Male Aging study even showed generational decline in serum-testosterone. E.g. a 50-year-old in 1987 has higher serum testosterone than a 50-year-old in 2004. That's controlling for all sorts of other factors like smoking, weight, and activity levels. See:

20% cream is too strong, you won't absorb it so well generally. That's why most commercial creams are 1-5%, including
AndroPlus.
