    Bio-identical hormones?

    Thanks to KelKel's sticky, I was able to find a directory for american academy of aging specialists A4M. A lot of the ones in Canada, especially southern alberta, keep referring to bioidentical hormones vs conventional pharm hormones. It appears that this applies more to estrogen and progesterone, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a difference in T levels, mood, energy, gain, cost as it pertains to TRT.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Thanks

    there is no difference.... its marketing BS to confuse consumers and make people think it's somehow safer.

    Testosterone that you inject is the exact same as the testosterone your body makes with the exception of the carbon isotope ratio. Does this mean anything significant in the body? Id say probably not.

    Testosterone therapy , however, produces widely different results and takes some trial and error. If low testosterone is the root of your problems and your problems are not numerous then it would be reasonable to think the results would be very positive from going on TRT. But if you have numerous issues, testosterone will be (and likely is) just one small piece of a larger puzzle. Weighing the benefits to the costs is entirely up to the individual.
