What is Testosterone (TRT)?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) involves supplementing the body's natural testosterone production to restore levels to a healthy physiological range. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for muscle mass, bone density, fat distribution, red blood cell production, sex drive, and mood regulation. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline — TRT aims to restore these levels to those of a healthy young adult. Common forms include Testosterone Cypionate and Enanthate (injected weekly), as well as gels and patches.

How It's Made

Testosterone is a naturally occurring steroid hormone. Synthetic testosterone for TRT is produced through chemical synthesis and is available as injectable esters (Cypionate, Enanthate), transdermal gels, patches, and pellets.
