question from a user
Where does testosterone come from? Is it made in the USA? How is it typically made?
AlphaMD's Answer
From a USA based domestic company, we use an USA based compounding pharmacy that produces their Testosterone here.
You can usually get Testosterone for a very reasonable rate doing this directly from a pharmacy that makes it, rather than a place like a local Walgreens that essentially re/up-sells another pharmacy's commercial product. Testosterone has been around a long time now.
I would also beware of any TRT company that looks "too good to be true" with their pricing, as they could very well be making their own with T powder bought overseas with unsure origins to save a massive amount of money for themselves.
Typically these domestic pharmacies compound your Testosterone into a liquid form at 200MG/ML in 3, 5, & 10ML vials. They need to use a carrier that your body can absorb easily, so typically they use things Grapeseed or Sesame Seed oils. The benefit of working with your own pharmacy is that if a patient has an allergy to a specific carrier we can request it made differently.
