What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone: It’s the fuel that drives your manhood, powering your strength, energy, and vitality.

But as you age, this crucial hormone can dwindle, leaving you feeling like a shadow of your former self. Fatigue sets in, your drive fades, and muscle mass becomes a distant memory.

But there’s a solution: testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

What Is TRT?

Testosterone replacement therapy is about reclaiming your power and optimizing your performance. It's about reigniting your inner fire and becoming the best version of yourself.

The goal of TRT is to restore testosterone levels to the normal range, which is typically between 300 and 1,000 ng/dL.¹

But, just how long do people stay on TRT once prescribed? Keep reading to find out.

Who Needs TRT?

Men can turn to TRT for a variety of reasons, including:

Decreased Vibrancy Due to Age

After the age of 40, men’s testosterone levels often begin to decline. This can lead to men feeling less like themselves – less vibrant, energetic, and alert.

Men with low T will often experience:²

Decreased libido
Loss of hair
Erectile dysfunction
Low bone mineral density
Depression
The inability to concentrate
Increased body fat
Fatigue

If you’re experiencing the symptoms of low T, we can help you navigate the different TRT options and create a customized plan that aligns with your individual needs and goals.

Hypogonadism

For men diagnosed with hypogonadism, a medical condition in which the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone, TRT is also recommended.

Hypogonadism can be caused by aging, injury to the testicles, or a medical condition.

Increased Athletic Performance

In addition to medical uses, TRT may also be used recreationally, particularly among athletes and bodybuilders. These individuals may use TRT to increase muscle mass, improve athletic performance, and enhance physical appearance.

Potential Side Effects of TRT

While TRT is effective in treating hypogonadism and the symptoms of low T, it also carries potential risks and side effects that should be considered before starting treatment.³

These side effects include:

Worsening symptoms of sleep apnea
Enlarged breast tissue in men (gynecomastia)
Aggravating existing prostate cancer and contributing to noncancerous growth of the prostate
Stimulating the body to make too many red blood cells, which increases the risk of blood clots forming and possibly causing a pulmonary embolism
Shrinking testicles and causing temporary sterility
Increased risk of heart disease

When Do TRT’s Effects Kick In?

The timeline for TRT’s effects can vary depending on the individual and the type of TRT used.

The majority of men typically experience symptom improvement within four to six weeks of starting TRT. However, certain changes such as an increase in muscle mass may take anywhere from three to six months to become noticeable.⁴

Factors that can influence the onset of TRT effects include age, weight, and overall health.

How long do people stay on TRT once they begin treatment?

Generally, TRT is recommended for as long as a man’s testosterone levels remain low and that TRT is still benefiting them—often offering a long-term, or even lifelong solution.⁵

Research has also shown the sustained benefits with regular TRT, and many individuals have safely used it for decades.⁶

The Benefits of Oral TRT

Unlike injections or gels, oral TRT utilizes specially formulated capsules designed for efficient absorption. Once ingested, the testosterone enters the bloodstream through the lymphatic system, bypassing the liver and minimizing strain on your body.

This method provides consistent hormone levels, reducing the fluctuations often experienced with injections.

Gatlan’s oral TRT is an excellent option for men seeking a sustainable solution to optimize their hormone health and overall well-being for the long-run.
