| As with all hormone supplementation, determining the right testosterone dosage form for a woman is as important as determining the right dosage strength.

Our original formulas use only low-dose natural hormones molecularly identical to the ones your body produces. Your prescribing physician can choose from many different strengths and delivery systems. We're here to help with your questions and concerns.

We'll work with you and your health professional to arrive at the prescription that will most effectively manage your symptoms and suit your lifestyle. Hormone Balance As with all of the major hormones, baseline and follow-up testing of testosterone levels is critical for maintaining hormone levels in a physiologic range and avoiding the side-effects of underdosing or overdosing.
