    Considering TRT--Lab Results, Questions

    I'm in my late 30s and have been having all the symptoms of low T for at least 5-6 years, but never thought that could "be it" given my age. I've had some sexual issues recently and decided to test the hormones. An at home lancet blood test (tested by a lab, not a card test) gave a 283 ng/dl...

    What Are Things Someone Should Know Before Starting TRT?

    If you can’t afford TRT or you’re not disciplined enough, you shouldn’t start.

    I’ve had people ask me, if I can spare a vial of testosterone. My answer always has to be at no. Why start, if you can’t afford it. The only reason I’m posting this is someone just asked me again.

Everything else came back good (Estradiol, liver, kidney, shbg etc) My concern is the starting dose of 250mg...

Free Testosterone

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