When exploring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you may come across medical and scientific terms that can be confusing. Our glossary is here to help you better understand the key terminology used in hormone optimization, men’s health, and performance treatments.
A medication used to prevent testosterone from converting into estrogen, often prescribed alongside TRT to maintain hormonal balance.
Hormones that are chemically identical to those produced naturally by the body, commonly used in hormone replacement therapy.
A comprehensive lab test that measures key hormone levels, including testosterone, estrogen, and other markers related to metabolic and endocrine health.
A potent form of testosterone that contributes to male characteristics like facial hair and muscle growth but can also be linked to hair loss.
A hormone present in both men and women. In men, balanced estrogen levels are crucial for mood, bone health, and libido.
The portion of testosterone in the bloodstream that is unbound and available for the body to use, making it the most active form of testosterone.
A hormone sometimes used in TRT protocols to stimulate natural testosterone production and maintain fertility.
A treatment designed to restore hormone levels (such as testosterone, estrogen, or thyroid hormones) to optimize health, energy, and performance.
A key peptide involved in muscle growth, fat metabolism, and anti-aging benefits. Often increased with peptide therapy.
A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates testosterone production in the testes.
A cutting-edge treatment using short chains of amino acids (peptides) to enhance hormone production, recovery, fat loss, and overall wellness.
A process used after certain hormone treatments to help restore natural hormone production and prevent imbalances.
A class of compounds that mimic the effects of testosterone while selectively targeting muscle and bone tissues.
A protein that binds to testosterone and affects how much is available for use in the body. High SHBG can lead to lower free testosterone levels.
A method of administering testosterone or peptides via an injection under the skin, as opposed to intramuscular injections.
The total amount of testosterone in the bloodstream, including both bound and free testosterone.
A medical treatment designed to restore healthy testosterone levels, improving energy, muscle mass, mood, libido, and overall well-being.
A peptide known for its powerful anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, and wound healing properties.
A peptide used for gut health, tissue repair, and injury recovery, known for its anti-inflammatory and healing benefits.
A combination of peptides used to stimulate growth hormone production, aiding in muscle growth, fat loss, and anti-aging effects.
