Best Men's Hormone Therapy Protocols

Men's hormone optimization spans testosterone replacement (TRT), fertility-preserving alternatives (enclomiphene), supportive co-therapies (HCG, gonadorelin), and estrogen management (anastrozole). The right protocol depends on baseline labs, fertility goals, and tolerance for injections versus oral medication. Every protocol on this list requires comprehensive bloodwork and physician review.

      — Common questions

      Do I need bloodwork before starting TRT?

      Yes — Pepti requires a full hormone panel (total T, free T, estradiol, SHBG, LH, FSH) plus a complete metabolic panel and PSA before any TRT prescription. Re-test at week 6 and quarterly thereafter.

      Will TRT make me infertile?

      TRT alone typically suppresses spermatogenesis. Adding HCG or gonadorelin preserves fertility in most men. If fertility is a priority, enclomiphene monotherapy avoids the issue entirely.

      How long until I feel TRT working?

      Energy, mood, and libido changes within 2-4 weeks. Body composition and strength changes appear gradually over 12-24 weeks with consistent dosing and bloodwork monitoring.
