1 bottle of T. gel/3 squirts a day because my testosterone was nil. I forget sometimes to take it but energy has increased when I remember.

Yes Good morning Ron. I personally have been injecting myself with testosterone for the last 10 years. I tried the gel but that only gave me a rash and not much energy. I had low testosterone to begin with and my energy level was very low so the doctor prescribed this for me. It started by him giving me the injection at the office but that became too expensive and bothersome so now I receive it with my HIV drugs along with the syringes. It helps immensely with muscle mass and energy levels.😁👌👍👍🤗❤️

My Dr told me that. It's not a good idea to take anything to raise testosterone unless absolutely needed because the longer you take it the more u need to keep your levels up. Anyway for me he advised against it because I wanted something
