Okay. I’m confused. I need laymen’s terms concerning the low testosterone association.

  • Not associated with lower testosterone levels in men under 40, and was associated with lower prevalence of low testosterone in men over 40 (in science-speak, they can’t say CBD might combat low testosterone in men >40 based on the results, but it is indirectly implied).

  • Not associated with elevated liver enzymes (which would indicate liver inflammation).

  • Associated with lower reports of daytime drowsiness

Not the strongest study design, but some interesting results if you like CBD.

From the article:

Conclusions: In this large-sample study, self-dosing CBD was not associated with an increased prevalence of elevation of LT or low levels of TT in men. Furthermore, CBD administration decreased DD and was associated with a lower prevalence of low testosterone levels in older men as compared to age-adjusted population norms.
