UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF TESTOSTERONE

Testosterone plays a crucial role in numerous male body functions. These include muscle growth, bone density, red blood cell production, and sexual function.

However, many men can experience low testosterone, leading to negative side effects in their everyday lives. Low testosterone levels can result from various factors, such as aging, injury, illness, or genetic predisposition.

If you’re experiencing the effects of low testosterone, Gatlan can help. Our personalized oral testosterone replacement treatment (TRT) programs optimize hormone levels to restore your vitality and enhance your overall well-being.

Can You Take TRT As a Pill?

While there are many forms of TRT available, such as injections, patches, and gels, oral TRT options offer a safe, hassle-free way to receive testosterone. It’s the modern man’s solution to Low T.

Oral testosterone therapy is available in the form of pills or capsules. These pills are taken daily and provide a convenient method of administration.

They are also less invasive than injections or pellets and don’t pose the risk of skin irritation like patches or gels.¹

Considerations of Taking Oral TRT

Oral testosterone therapy has come a long way since its inception. Early versions of oral TRT were associated with liver toxicity due to the way testosterone was metabolized in the body.

However, advances in drug formulation have led to the development of safer TRT pills that bypass the liver. This significantly reduces the risk of liver-related side effects.²

Advantages

TRT pills offer several advantages when compared to other TRT methods, including:³

Convenience: TRT pills are easy to take and can be incorporated into your daily routine without the need for injections or topical applications.
Non-invasive: Oral TRT doesn’t require needles or minor surgical procedures, unlike injections or pellets.
Flexibility: TRT pills allow for easy adjustment of dosages under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
No skin irritation: Oral TRT eliminates the risk of skin irritation that may occur with patches or gels.

Side Effects of TRT Pills

As with any medication or TRT forms, TRT pills can also cause side effects. Gatlan works with you to ensure that your oral TRT options cause the least amount of side effects possible, but some potential side effects to consider include:⁴

Acne and oily skin: Increased testosterone levels can cause changes in skin oil production. This leads to acne and oily skin in some individuals.
Mood changes: TRT pills may cause mood fluctuations, such as irritability, anxiety, or depression.
Testicular shrinkage: Testosterone therapy can lead to reduced testicle size due to decreased natural testosterone production.
Breast enlargement: Some men may experience breast enlargement or tenderness as a result of hormonal changes.
Blood clots: TRT pills may increase the risk of blood clots. This can lead to deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Cardiovascular risks: Testosterone therapy may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Sleep apnea: TRT pills can exacerbate sleep apnea in those who already suffer from the condition.

It’s important to note that side effects may vary among individuals. Not everyone will experience these issues.

Regular check-ups with Gatlan are necessary to monitor and manage any potential side effects while undergoing TRT.

The Typical Price Range for TRT Pills

Generally, TRT pills cost about $100 – $300 per month. Factors that affect the cost of TRT pills include:

Brand

The price of TRT pills may differ depending on the brand and specific formulation. Some brands may use patented delivery systems or offer unique combinations of ingredients, which can affect the cost.

Our oral TRT options start at just $149 per month with no hidden fees, ensuring you can rediscover your prime without breaking the bank.

Dosage and Frequency

The required dosage and frequency of administration can also impact the overall cost. Higher dosages or more frequent administration may result in a higher monthly expense.

Pharmacy and Location

The price of TRT pills can vary depending on the pharmacy and geographic location. Some pharmacies may offer lower prices or discounts, while the cost of living in certain areas may also influence pricing.
