How Prevalent is Low Testosterone?

Testosterone deficiency isn’t rare—it impacts 10-40% of men worldwide and affects 4-5 million men in the U.S. alone.¹,² If you’re feeling the effects of Low T, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle for it.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a proven solution for men looking to restore their strength, energy, and vitality. But with multiple options available, what is the safest form of TRT? Let’s break it down.

Gatlan’s Safe, Effective Oral TRT

Gatlan isn’t just about TRT; we’re about optimizing your well-being. Increased energy, enhanced strength, and a sharper mind – Gatlan empowers you to conquer your goals and become the best version of yourself.

Our oral TRT options provide a safe and hassle-free way to reclaim your prime.

What Are the Forms of TRT?

TRT comes in various forms—gels, patches, injections, and oral capsules—each designed to restore testosterone levels and combat the effects of Low T. While all methods work to deliver testosterone into the body, they differ in convenience, absorption, and potential side effects.

But, what is the safest form of TRT to take out of all of these? Here’s what you should know:

Injections

Injections are the most common form of TRT. They usually consist of testosterone cypionate or enanthate, which is injected into the muscle tissue every 1-2 weeks. 

The testosterone enters the bloodstream and improves muscle mass, bone density, and sex drive.

However, these fluctuations can cause mood swings, irritability, fatigue, or other symptoms, and may not mimic the body’s natural testosterone production. They can also lead to irritation at the injection site.³

Gels

Gels are another popular form of TRT. Testosterone gel is applied to the skin and it then gets absorbed into the bloodstream. Gels can be applied to different parts of the body, and patients can choose between different products that have varying strengths.

However, there exists a risk of interpersonal transfer if not used carefully. This means that testosterone can be transferred to loved ones or children if there is contact, which can be dangerous to multiple parties.

Patches

Unlike TRT gels, patches do not pose any risk of interpersonal transfer. They are placed on a clean, dry area of skin and are usually replaced every 24 hours. 

However, patches can cause skin irritation and may not stick well in hot or humid weather conditions.

Oral Capsules

Oral TRT capsules bypass your digestive system, delivering testosterone directly into your bloodstream through the lymphatic system. This method ensures efficient absorption and minimizes strain on your liver. 

With precise dosing and tailored treatment plans, Gatlan’s oral TRT options are a safe and effective way to optimize your hormone levels.

What Is the Safest Form of TRT?

Out of many different forms, oral capsules are generally the safest forms of TRT. Here’s why:

Controlled Dosage and Consistency

Oral TRT capsules provide a steady and controlled release of testosterone, helping to maintain balanced hormone levels throughout the day. This avoids the sharp peaks and subsequent drops often experienced with injectable forms of TRT. 

Consistency in testosterone levels can improve mood, energy, and overall well-being while reducing side effects caused by hormonal fluctuations.

Non-Invasive

Unlike injections or implanted pellets, oral capsules are a non-invasive method of hormone delivery. This eliminates the risks associated with needles, such as infections, pain, or irritation at the injection site. 

Oral capsules also avoid the need for minor surgical procedures required for pellet insertion, making them a more patient-friendly option.

Convenience

Oral TRT capsules are easy to incorporate into a daily routine. They don’t require the preparation, equipment, or medical visits associated with injections, and there’s no mess or risk of skin transfer like with gels or creams. 

This makes capsules an ideal choice for men seeking a simple, hassle-free treatment option.

utrients and oxygen throughout the body. Increased production of red blood cells helps improve energy levels, increasing overall well-being.

Lower Risk of Overdose

Each oral capsule contains a precise, pre-measured dose of testosterone, ensuring that patients receive an accurate amount of the hormone as prescribed by their doctor. 

This controlled dosing helps minimize the risk of testosterone levels rising too high, reducing the likelihood of side effects such as increased red blood cell production or cardiovascular strain.

Advanced Formulations

Our modern oral TRT capsules at Gatlan are specially formulated to avoid first-pass metabolism in the liver, a common concern with earlier oral testosterone treatments.

These advanced formulations use bioavailable forms of testosterone that are absorbed effectively without putting undue strain on the liver. This innovation enhances safety while delivering the full benefits of TRT.

By combining these advantages, oral TRT capsules stand out as a safe, convenient, and effective solution for men looking to restore their testosterone levels and improve their overall health.

Potential Side Effects of Oral Capsules

While oral TRT is a convenient and non-invasive treatment option, there are important considerations to keep in mind before starting this therapy.

One key factor is adherence to the prescribed regimen. Oral TRT requires consistent daily dosing to maintain optimal hormone levels, and missing doses can reduce its effectiveness. 

Additionally, although modern formulations are designed to minimize liver strain, it’s essential for patients to undergo regular monitoring to ensure liver health and overall well-being.

It’s also important to work closely with our medical team to monitor testosterone levels, as taking too much or too little can lead to side effects such as mood changes, fatigue, or cardiovascular risks.
