Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or andropause as it is called is a treatment that deals with low testosterone in men. The following graph shows you how as men age their testosterone levels plummet. Most of the guys calling us are between the ages of 40 and 60 years old. Almost all of them are already on a TRT treatment from their doctors or have at least had their testosterone levels checked. We consistently find that men in this age range are coming in with testosterone levels in the 200 – 400 range. To give you contrast, a healthy male in his prime between 18 and 25 comes in with testosterone levels in the 1000 – 1200 range. We have found that men do not feel healthy and energized until they get their testosterone levels above 700. Even with doctor prescribed testosterone replacement therapy people are not getting the doses that they need. Everyday we talk to guys that are on a TRT program from their doctor and are doing so many things wrong. First the doctor prescribes the testosterone based on the patient’s T levels and age. Meaning they give just enough testosterone in an anabolic steroid such as testosterone cypionate at a dose that will just get them to the minimum acceptable levels for their age and what they should be naturally producing. This is where the main problem lies. At REGENAMEX Clinic we have found that low testosterone levels and low growth hormone levels are some of the key factors that lead to aging poorly. There is no clear way to stop the effects of aging, but we can mitigate those effects and greatly reduce their negative connotations by replacing these key hormones with synthetic versions that are bio-identical. We do this by raising those key hormones to elevated levels that would be consistent with a younger man. Most of these doctors that are giving TRT to their patients are doing the following regiments. They typically give testosterone cypionate at 1ml injection once a week or once every 2 weeks. There are many other regiments out there, but these seem to be the most common. The problem with such low doses of testosterone cypionate is that it will barely get the patient more testosterone than they are already producing. So we get calls all the time from guys saying they expected all these great results like more energy and such and just are not feeling it. Unfortunately doctors and the general public in the US, Canada and elsewhere have been persuaded that steroids are a terrible thing and will make your heart explode, kidneys fail, liver shut down and more. This is not even close to true. Again testosterone is something you naturally produce and will not hurt you even though you will get it synthetically from steroids. We are not talking about anything close to bodybuilder doses here, which is where the negative side effects of steroids take shape.
