question from a user
What is the common range most patients find symptom relief? 120-150?
AlphaMD's Answer
We find that 140mg-160mg is the range that works best for men who need TRT. Some men start at 120mg a week and other go closer to 200mg a week, but those are not a common as the middle ground. It tends to be the sweet spot between little to no side effects without needing an AI & benefits.
For those who are using Testosterone for bodybuilding & may not have low Testosterone, they will likely be on higher doses.
