Testosterone cypionate is a hormone replacement therapy that has been used for decades to treat male hypogonadism, a condition caused by the body’s inability to produce enough testosterone. It is either bioidentical or synthetic, depending on how it’s formulated.
Bioidentical Testosterone Cypionate
Bioidentical testosterone cypionate is created from plant-derived chemicals and hormones that are genetically identical to the testosterone produced in the human body. While researching this form of therapy, scientists found that it was more effective than synthetically formulated therapies at restoring healthy testosterone levels in patients. These bioidentical versions of testosterone also have fewer side effects than synthetically created versions.
Synthetic Testosterone Cypionate
Synthetically created testosterone cypionate is manufactured using artificial materials and compounds. This version of testosterone can be used to help restore normal hormone levels in men who are suffering from low testosterone levels due to aging, illness or injury. Synthetic forms of testosterone can be less expensive than bioidentical versions of this hormone replacement therapy, but they may not provide as much benefit in terms of restoring healthy hormone levels in men.
Overall, both forms of testosterone cypionate have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to treating male hypogonadism. The best way for men to determine which type is right for them is to consult with an experienced medical professional such as a doctor who specializes in hormone replacement therapy.
