question from a user
Im just curious what is the most common dose for TRT? I know everyone is different but is 200mg a week very uncommon?
AlphaMD's Answer
The most common dosing in TRT for low Testosterone patients is 120-160mg in the majority of cases, with outliers. Many online clinics will start a patient on 200mg/wk, though this dose is typically used by men who are looking for enhanced fitness benefits (also referred to as TRT+) because 90% of men on this dose will have a supraphysiologic T level.
However online most men talking about TRT do not tend to disclose which they are, so there is a bit of a misconception around common dosing & outcomes. Testosterone is unfortunately one of the hormones/medications where "more is more" does not apply. Often times once you find the dose that provides you the most benefit with the least amount of side effects, going over that will lead to minor improvements with most of them being physique based & likely side effects like high Estrogen you will now need to medicate against.
