• This now brings up the question is testosterone
  replacement therapy safe if Low T has been
  diagnosed. The answer is yes, as long as the
  doctor prescribing and supervising this
  treatment is wellversed in hormone replacement
  therapy. We are often asked how safe is
  testosterone replacement therapy if there are
  potential side effects? First of all, there is no
  such thing as a medical treatment that does not
  carry with it some type of possible side effects.
  There is always a risk of allergic reaction to
  any kind of medication even overthecounter
  products.

• Chest or facial hair growth
• The potential side effects listed above for both
  men and women are rare. That is why it is vital
  to get this medication prescribed by a
  knowledgeable and experienced HRT specialist.
• HOW TO GET SAFE TESTOSTERONE THERAPY
• The first and foremost rule to remember when
  looking at beginning any type of hormone
  replacement therapy is to get it from a
  legitimate source. This does not mean clicking
  buy on some random online website that offers to
  sell these medications without a prescription.
• When you ask is testosterone therapy safe to use,
  please note that the answer yes only applies to
  when this treatment is prescribed by an
  experienced doctor. The balancing of hormone
  levels in the body is a delicate science. The
  visual below helps to illustrate what can happen
  when this balance is thrown out of sync due to a
  shortage or overage of a hormone
• When you have increased levels of estrogen in
  the body, the signals going to
  the

hypothalamus and gland are partially
pituitary blocked,
cutting off or decreasing the supply of GNRH,
FSH, and LH that are the precursor hormones to
testosterone production. The scale above tips
to show that

higher levels of aromatase, estradiol, and
5lipoxygenase are found in the body,
contributing to increased belly fat, arthritis,
atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, and
more. This is why it is crucial to order
testosterone therapy through an experienced
medical specialist who will test these various
hormone levels in the blood to ensure that
balancing upon receiving the proper treatment is
accomplished. WHERE TO GET TESTOSTERONE THAT IS
SAFE TO USE Now that you know to steer clear of
websites that are not medically based, and do
not have doctors on staff to test for hormonal
deficiencies and prescribe hormone replacement
therapy as needed, it is important to find out
where to get testosterone replacement therapy
safe for use. HRT clinics can be found in most
large cities throughout the US. People who live
in more rural areas will either have to travel
far to find a specialist, or do what many other
individuals throughout the US are doing turning
to a national hormone replacement clinic such as
National HRT. Even those men and women with
local clinics nearby often turn to National HRT
to save time and money while maintaining a
higher level of privacy than they would have had
at a local office. Our doctors utilize a network
of national labs to offer convenient testing
options to our clients no matter where they
reside. Your own family physician or a local
walkin clinic can conduct any physical exam that
may be required. These results can be quickly
forwarded by the examining office to our clinic
for review by our specialists. Is testosterone
therapy safe when prescribed in this manner?
Absolutely all necessary tests will have been
performed and the results reviewed and compared

  must fill out prior to being prescribed any type
  of hormone replacement. This ensures that TRT can
  be prescribed safely, and the subsequent
  treatment will be supervised by our medical
  staff.
