Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and vitality. When levels are low, it can cause troubling symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, poor concentration, and lowered sex drive. Fortunately, testosterone levels can be restored through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
The first step is getting tested to confirm a testosterone deficiency. A simple blood test can measure total and free testosterone levels. Testing should be done in the morning when levels peak. A total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL or free testosterone below 5-9 pg/mL indicates hypogonadism.

There are several delivery methods to restore testosterone to optimal levels through TRT:
Testosterone injections are a very effective TRT protocol. Testosterone is injected directly into the muscle, absorbing steadily into the bloodstream.
Testosterone gels provide daily maintenance by absorbing through the skin. Gels must be correctly dosed and carefully handled to prevent transference through skin contact.
Testosterone tablets rest between the upper gum and cheek, absorbing through mucosal tissues. This method has rapid uptake similar to injections. Tablets must be replaced every 12 hours.
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin through a quick surgical procedure, typically lasting years. Pellets provide continuous testosterone as they dissolve. Pellet therapy requires less frequent dosing.
Improving lifestyle habits works synergistically with TRT for greater benefits. Key areas men should focus on include:
