Bioidentical Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy (BTRT) dates back years. It started to become well known as an “alternative” kind of therapy, which slowly started to replace traditional medicine’s prescriptions of chemically filled pills and surgeries for those who learned about its efficacy and safety.
No longer do people have to use medicine that could result in awfully negative side effects to help with symptoms. Now 100 percent pure and safe injectable testosterone can be intramuscularly injected into the buttocks area to create quick and effective change without the side effects that chemicals can.
Negative side effects from injectable testosterone medications when prescribed for bioidentical testosterone therapy are very rare.
When a person’s testosterone levels deplete, which happens naturally as they age, they may start to feel ailments that can become so serious that their quality of life suffers. BTRT is a process by which testosterone is replaced in the system through 100 percent pure replicas of the body’s natural hormone. The injectable testosterone is molecularly the exact same as what the human body produces on its own.
Bioidentical testosterone therapy can help to decrease the possibility of disease and sickness and also helps to keep the body looking and feeling more youthful as it continues to age. Growing older will never stop, but feeling badly about it can be dismissed with BTRT.
What Is Bioidentical Testosterone Therapy?
Bioidentical testosterone therapy is a way of replacing the very important hormone testosterone that depletes with age. Using an exact replica of the hormone via intramuscular injection for men and with a cream for women, people can gain back their quality of life as their hormones balance.
