HOW IT WORKS:
Testosterone undecanoate is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring male hormone testosterone. It is absorbed through the lymphatic system, bypassing the liver, which allows for more consistent and stable blood testosterone levels. It works by supplementing the body’s natural testosterone levels, helping to restore normal hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms of testosterone deficiency.
