Testosterone powder is a steroid hormone secreted by male testes or female ovaries. The adrenal also secretes a small amount of testosterone, which has the effect of maintaining muscle strength and quality, maintaining bone density and strength, refreshing and improving physical fitness.
Medical Uses: For the treatment of non-testis replacement therapy, menopausal syndrome, impotence, and other diseases.
Sports use: Increase the number of muscles. Some people who exercise to increase their muscle mass even use a dose that is 250 times the therapeutic dose.
Androgens promote the synthesis of proteins and the growth of tissues that possess androgen receptors. The utility of pure testosterone powder can be divided into anabolic and masculine effects. Anabolic effects include increased muscle mass and strength, increased bone density and strength, stimulated linear growth, and skeletal maturation. Male effects include the maturation of sexual organs (especially the generation of the penis and fetal scrotum), postpartum (usually during adolescence) sensation of the conversion of the vocal cord, the growth of beard and armpit hair, and so on. These effects are generally male secondary sexual characteristics.

Strawberry Short Cakes with Homemade Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream
Serves 10 people
Ingredients
For the Biscuits
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup cake flour
1/3 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ sticks cold butter,
cubed (or 1/3 lb + 2 Tbsps)
4 Tbsp. melted butter
2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
For the Strawberries
2 pints fresh strawberries
2-4 tablespoons sugar
1 fresh vanilla bean
1 tablespoon bourbon
For the Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest
For the Ice Cream
2 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ¼ cups whole milk
1 vanilla bean, split
6 large egg yolks
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon bourbon
Instructions
For the Ice Cream
Have this started first so it’s ready for service. Place cream, milk and split and seeded vanilla bean in a heavy 3 ¾ quart saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Place egg yolks and brown sugar in medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat on highest speed until thick and pale, and mixture forms a ribbon when beaters are lifted, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low, slowly add 1 cup of the hot cream/milk mix to egg yolk/sugar mix. Stir the egg/cream mixture back into the simmering cream/milk. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160 degrees. DO NOT BOIL. Strain the custard through a chinois into a medium bowl. Stir in salt and bourbon. Chill the custard over an ice bath until completely chilled. Place chilled custard in mixing bowl of ice cream maker.
Set timer for 35-45 minutes for soft ice cream and 45-60 minutes for hard ice cream.
Cover and transfer directly to a freezer when finished.
For the Biscuits
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose and cake flours with the sugar, baking powder and salt. With 2 forks or your hands, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it is the size of small peas. Stir in the cream. Turn the dough over on a lightly floured surface and knead 2 to 3 times until it just comes together. The key to this dough is to not over mix it. Roll the dough into a 14-inch round about ¾ inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, stamp out 8 biscuits. Gently gather remaining dough to form the last two. Transfer to a parchment lined sheet pan and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar and bake 25 to 30 minutes.
For the Strawberries
Quarter the strawberries. Slit open the vanilla bean, scrape out the beans with the back of a small knife and add to the strawberries. Pour in the bourbon and sugar (to taste) and let sit to macerate.
For the Cream
Whisk everything together until you’ve formed a medium peak.
To Serve
Split open biscuits, place on a plate or bowl, and add a dollop of cream and the strawberries. Garnish with a scoop or two of ice cream!

Soapworks story of success.
The Soapworks was a thriving industry where hundreds of people were employed to make soaps, liquids and detergents, which were transported to Co-op shops throughout the country. The early years meant a high employment level in the factories. But prosperity meant machines could replace men for greater efficiency, which in turn meant more profits for Co-operative members.
The starch ovens and grinding machines which once made starch products are gone, as are the candle-making machines, but the memories remain for works manager Mr Ken Townsend. "I have seen a lot of changes at the factory especially that of machines replacing men, but the friendly atmosphere associated with the Co-operative movement has never changed," he said.
Mr Townsend was born into the Co-operative movement as his parents were both employed at the Co-op in Irlam. He has spent 35 years at the Soapworks and began work in the testing laboratories in 1940 gaining promotion to works manager.
PROGRESSIVE
The Co-operative movement although steeped in political ideals was a very progressive organisation which set high standards of health and safety conditions. Full time welfare nurses and health and safety committees have long been a feature of Co-op factories.
During its early years the factory employed a predominantly male workforce - with secretarial and clerical work being done by men and not women. Today, there is an equal number of women in the factory and doing the clerical work once undertaken by men. This trend was set after the Second World War and has continued to the present day.
HOLIDAY
Local historian Mr James Goodier began his working life at the Soapworks as an office boy and was paid seven shillings a week. His working day began at 8am but he enjoyed the privilege of two weeks holiday with pay.
Mr Goodier recolects in his book "Early Days in Irlam Village"; "One of my jobs was to keep an eye on the office clock as it approached 10am. I had to stand outside the office door to await the sound of a mouth whistle coming from a signalman who stood on top of the railway embankment opposite our offices. I would then check the office clock. This was the time-keeping system for the whole works."
FRIENDLY
The Co-operative movement was very aware of the recreational needs of its workers, and its local football, cricket and hockey teams will be long remembered in the town for providing leisure facilities for the workers.
The C.W.S. sports field in Fairhills Road, Irlam was the venue of many friendly matches played by rival teams around the Manchester and Cheshire districts. Sadly, the sports field was sold and recreational facilities died away.
Mr Townsend said steps were being taken to restore recreational facilities similar to those sports provided years ago, when the C.W.S. could boast one of the largest recreation clubs in the district.
The Co-operative movement has always been proud of the good labour relations, despite its closed shop practice. Although each new member is urged to join an appropriate union there is little union/management friction. The success must partly be due to the "Co-operative Union" - a policy advising body which is in regular contact with all sections of the Co-operative movement.
It is not surprising, therefore, that few people leave the works until their retirement. Mr Goodier recalls in the book: "The actual Soapworks building impressed one as a solid structure - the very embodiment of security for many lifetimes... When anyone obtained a job there it was considered they were secure for life."
CHANGES
The soapworks industry survived the devastating changes wreaked by two World Wars and the post-war economic slumps, when its male workforce was lost to the armed services and women stepped into the jobs once undertaken by the men. But the Soapworks also lost many of its female workers to the Irlam Steelworks, where women "did their bit for King and Country" making munitions for the war.
The government encouraged industries like the Soapworks because it produced glycerine as a by-product of soap. The liquid was sent to other factories to make nitro-glycerine for explosives. The post-war years brough headaches of its own for the Society which could no longer find the skilled workers who once produced the company's "luxury goods", nor buy the replacement machinery.
HARSH
The Soapworks was faced with a harsher reality in 1968 when reorganise or die seemed the only choice. It meant drastically cutting the workforce from 360 to 110; moving into another part of the building, and reducing its products lines to five - washing up liquids, bleach, scouring powder, firelighters and fabric conditioners.
Although the factory continued to supply manufactured goods including automatic powders for washing machines; blue washing powders, toilet and household soaps which are distributed to Co-op shops in Irlam and Cadishead.
COSTLY
The old Soapworks building was also evacuated during the 1968 re-organisation because it became too costly to heat and maintain it. Although the white fronted building is a historical monument to the grest industrial age - it is now being demolished for safety reasons.
The severe re-organisation has proved to be a formula for success, and the factory produces two-and-a-half times more than before the cutback.
Today, the C.W.S. Soapworks has more than 80 years of experience in dealing with economic and social changes and can look forward to a prosperous future. Although the factory has become geared to maximum efficiency - its profits continue to be shared among the majority rather than the few - and continues to follow the principles laid down by the founders of the Co-operative movement more than 115 years ago.
