I started gaining weight and losing muscle tone in my 30's even though I was working out regularly. I started on shots then Androgel, as the shots were too much of a rollercoaster on levels. I found BHRT compounded cream and it keeps my testosterone level optimal. It brought my bloodwork in line and costs much less than Androgel and other name brand creams. If I couldn't use the compounded cream I would not be able to afford the name brand gels, even though I have health insurance, 265$/mo versus 80$/mo. It is our RIGHT as consumers to have alternatives to the big name pharmaceutical companies.
