    My journey with Defy

    Did your T levels go up when you reduced statin? Or were you also on TRT therapy?

    My journey with Defy

    I also take a low dose statin (10mg daily) for past 10 years to lower my LDL Cholesterol (which is currently at a good level of 67 mg/dL). I read that statins tend to lower testosterone also. I'm wondering if Defy would have me stay on the statin.

    How many of you are using compounded testosterone cream/gel?

    You can get a higher concentration of T in the cream (like anywhere from 3%-20%). I think name brands such as Androgel only offers 1.62%.

    How many of you are using compounded testosterone cream/gel?

    I welcome replies about commercial brands. Although I think their concentration levels are not as high as compounded cream and they cost more. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

    How many of you are using compounded testosterone cream/gel?

    I've been researching TRT for the past couple weeks (since my T is low), and I'm leaning towards a compounded T cream solution instead of intramuscular shots.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
