Are Testosterone Pellets right for you? What are your options for Low T symptoms

Testosterone impacts numerous areas regarding the individual’s health. This includes muscle mass, body fat, bone density, mood and red blood cell count. When the levels of testosterone are normal, the range is between 300 and 1,000. If a blood test reveals the level of testosterone is well below what is normal, testosterone replacement therapy is often recommended. This may include testosterone pellets, intramuscular injections or both. 

One of the most common types of testosterone replacement therapy is called bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Numerous physicians have found this process to be both an effective and easy way of providing men with testosterone.

Pellets are a good option for the delivery of consistent testosterone over a fairly lengthy period of time. This helps eliminate any fluctuations.

The focus of the study was the male subjects. The results showed 86 percent of the participants were satisfied with the ease of the procedure and the improvement in symptoms. There were no side effects for every participant following the directions prior to having the pellet inserted.
