Maximizing Testosterone Levels: Gel vs. Injection vs. Pellet

Welcome to Innovative Health and Wellness! In this video, we’ll be exploring the various methods of administering testosterone therapy: creams, injections, and bioidentical pellets. Understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision about the best option for your needs.
Testosterone Creams: These are applied topically, usually once daily. Creams are convenient and allow for easy dose adjustments. However, absorption can be inconsistent, and there’s a risk of transferring the cream to others through skin contact.
Testosterone Injections: These are typically administered weekly or bi-weekly. Injections provide a more controlled and consistent release of testosterone into the bloodstream. However, they can be painful, and some may experience fluctuating levels of the hormone between doses.
Bioidentical Testosterone Pellets: These are small pellets implanted under the skin every 3-6 months. Pellets offer a steady release of testosterone, mimicking the body’s natural rhythm. The downside is the need for a minor surgical procedure for implantation and removal.
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Creams are non-invasive and easy to adjust but may have inconsistent absorption. Injections offer precise control but require frequent administration and can cause discomfort. Pellets provide steady hormone levels with less frequent dosing but involve a minor surgical procedure.
At Innovative Health and Wellness, we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs, ensuring optimal results for your testosterone therapy. For personalized advice, schedule a consultation with us today!

I would prefer the the gel or cream myself

[@innovativehealthandwellness]

That's WHY there are options. Do NOT go to a clinic that states there is only one way. They typically want to push what they do without recognizing the other options

[@DoctorHemi]

What do you think of the new oral Testosterone undecanoate (like Kyzatrex, Jatendo, or TLando)? You take the pills twice a day with some fatty foods and they enter via the lymphatic system.

[@innovativehealthandwellness]

Sounds like a promising option, not sure about the cost.

[@DoctorHemi]

​@@innovativehealthandwellness, agreed. That seems to be a pretty big down side. For anyone interested, I was prescribed Kyzatrex and it cost $690 for 3 months of pills (400 mg, twice/day = 800 mg/day). That averages $230/month (not including any blood work).

As a man you have to get around 10 pellets at once. Is this true?

[@therealkakitron]

If I end up going for testosterone, I'll probably do the cream that goes on your 🥚🥚. No risk of transferring that easily, and as for doing it 365 days a year, I also do things like showering and brushing my teeth every day.

[@innovativehealthandwellness]

That's cool! If you want to add one more thing to your regiment go for it. The absorption is not as good as the other other methods but it is definitely an option

[@mumenrider862]

What about Subq vs im for injections?

[@innovativehealthandwellness]

Sub Q is probably a better way to absorb testosterone. The issue becomes transferring the testosterone to an insulin syringe then injecting subq which will undoubtably cause a lump under the skin. The benefit is that the testosterone is released slower over time. The negative is the inconvenience and the potential bump at the injection site

Could you use cow pellet steroids on bodybuilders theoretically?
