What Is Pure Testosterone and what does it do?
Pure testosterone is a 19 carbon steroid hormone that is produced mainly by the Leydig cells in the testes of men. It is produced by the ovaries in women. Both genders create pure testosterone from the adrenal glands too; in smaller amounts. Men make more pure testosterone than women do, but both genders create it naturally.
When testosterone starts to deplete in the body, people may turn to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to replace what is missing. When they do this, they want to make sure that they are working with a reputable TRT clinic. The reason is because they only want to replace the missing hormone with 100 percent pure and real testosterone.
Pure testosterone medication needs to be prescribed by a licensed doctor who makes sure to only prescribe the correct medication and dosage of the injectable solution. In addition, the doctor must provide medical supervision during the entire course of a patient’s therapy. This is the only way to participate in completely safe and legal testosterone replacement therapy.
