blond boxing training woman with gloves in gym SBI 300902506 300x200Reading Time: 3 minutes It may surprise you to learn that testosterone is as essential to women's health as it is to men's. Although testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens and was once considered an exclusively male hormone, research over the past decade demonstrates that this hormone also plays a definitive role in women's physical and psychological health. Both testosterone and estrogen are produced by the ovaries. Relatively small quantities of testosterone are released into a women's bloodstream by the ovaries and also the adrenal glands. In addition to being produced by the ovaries, estrogen is also produced by fat … Read more »

Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on November 29th, 2021

Reading Time: 4 minutes American athletes have a long and fond relationship with Testosterone cypionate. While Testosterone enanthate is manufactured widely throughout the world, cypionate seems to be almost exclusively an American item. It is therefore not surprising that American athletes particularly favor this testosterone ester. But many claim this is not just a matter of simple pride, often swearing cypionate to be a superior product, providing a bit more of a kick than enanthate.

Testosterone Injections for Men – Men’s Hormonal Health


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on May 21st, 2021

Reading Time: 2 minutes Testosterone injections aren't generally discussed as a first-line treatment option when starting testosterone replacement. There are many androgen preparations on the market such as; gels (Androgel and Testim), creams, pills (Andriol), pellets, and patches.

What's sad to say... they are all inferior to the much older technology of testosterone injections, IM (intramuscular) when treating hypogonadism. It's not what you'd generally think is supposed to happen. Isn't medical science supposed to come out with newer and … Read more »
