No it shouldn’t have an effect on testosterone levels at all. Ingesting stimulants and mood altering pharmaceuticals can lower testosterone. This is not scientifically tested and we cant say for sure without knowing exactly what TAA is but in my experience with the use and with observing others use of Ishine it mildly spikes the endorphins which is a neurotransmitter causing a feeling of well being, euphoria, energy, youth. It doesn’t increase the stress hormones. Cortisol and endorphins raised at the same time can often lower testosterone but I don’t feel TAA triggers both. The sleepiness or crash some get after is probably a flood of adenosine which was blocked while the TAA was triggering the endorphins. Much the way caffeine does. So its not the endorphins themselves that lower testosterone its a combo of stress hormones (cortisol) and endorphins. Hope that made some sense to you LOL. Its hard to explain. Tisha ---

I’d think the name [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) described its intended usage/effect quite appropriately. Can you be more specific than that the title says it all? Could use a little more detail on whats making you ask this. ---

John The reason I was wondering whether it depressed testosterone function is because I was wondering how it made other recipients less moody, angry etc. Tisha explained it well… I see now it has nothing to do with taming down testosterone but rather spiking endorphins… ---
