When I first visited a urologist he gave me a sample of this. I didn't want to take it until I investigated my options further. It still sits in the drawer almost a year later.

Anyway,
The company that was going to distribute it in the US dropped out earlier this year but it looks like another company has picked up distribution of the product.

You have to spray the gel into your nose three times per day to keep a steady stream of T I guess in your body.

In case my increase of HCG monotherapy dosage does not work, I want to have all possible options on the table when/if the time comes to move on to TRT.

I think I would be leaning towards compounded cream first, then injections but this might be an alternative too if the cost is not prohibitive.

My only real concern is having the T go into the body so close to the brain..Doesn't look like there is much research on the subject.
