What is Testosterone Cypionate? Used mostly for the purposes of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), Testosterone Cypionate is bio-identical replica of the testosterone that the testes and ovaries (some is made in the adrenal glands) naturally produces. Since the body slows with age and these organs and glands stop producing a healthy amount of testosterone starting at approximately the age of 30 (age will vary amongst individuals), TRT can replace the vital hormone safely.

Testosterone Cypionate can only be legally used with a prescription from a licensed doctor after blood testing shows a testosterone deficiency is present. In addition to getting a treatment plan and an accurate prescription for injections, doctors need to also provide full medical supervision.
