Product Overview

Testosterone Description1,2

Micronized testosterone (natural) is plant-derived, most commonly sourced from yams, and is chemically processed to produce bioidentical testosterone. In contrast to injectable testosterone formulations, free testosterone is rapidly metabolized following absorption, which necessitates more frequent administration compared with weekly or monthly injectable forms such as cypionate or enanthate. It is commonly used in the treatment of male hypogonadism associated with low testosterone levels and to support libido in both men and women. Micronized testosterone is utilized in compounded dosage forms, including oral capsules.
