You can also have a compounding pharmacy whip up a simular brew.

I'm 70 years old and "feel 50" ---- Life has many decisions and the choice to use the T suppliment under doctors monotoring has been WONDERFUL !

This is a collection of testimony from respondents to this thread who have actually used prescription testosterone. If people do not wish to use it they should not use it. No reports of undesirable side effects I don't think.
