Many men from their mid-30s onwards notice a decline in their performance in everyday life.
A common but often overlooked reason for this is a hormonal imbalance, especially a testosterone deficiency.
Testosterone deficiency is easily treatable.
An individually planned, medically supervised testosterone therapy (TRT) can help stabilize your hormone levels and improve your well-being.
90% of our patients report increased energy, focus, desire and motivation after just a few weeks.
A possible therapy (e.g. TRT) follows a clear procedure.
Order your test online, perform it conveniently at home, and send the sample to our lab free of charge. You'll receive your lab results within a few days – clearly presented in our online portal.
If you wish, you can discuss your results and possible treatment options in a paid video consultation with one of our independent partner physicians. Should TRT be medically appropriate for you, the doctor will create an individualized treatment plan together with you.
With your prescription, you can obtain the medication from a pharmacy of your choice, or alternatively, receive it directly by mail from a partner pharmacy. The medication is administered under medical supervision with regular check-ups and follow-up appointments to optimize your therapy.

What are the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy?
What are the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy?
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers a number of potential benefits, particularly for men with clinically diagnosed testosterone deficiency. It is important to emphasize that TRT should only be used in cases of diagnosed testosterone deficiency and under medical supervision. Potential key benefits include:
1. Improved libido and sexual function: One of the most common effects of testosterone deficiency is a decrease in libido or sexual desire. TRT can help improve sexual desire and erectile function, which can lead to a more satisfying sex life.
2. Increased energy and overall well-being: Low testosterone levels can lead to fatigue, lack of energy, and a general feeling of malaise. Many men report increased energy and an improved quality of life after starting TRT.
3. Improvement of muscle mass and body composition: Testosterone plays a key role in building and maintaining muscle mass. TRT can increase muscle mass and reduce body fat percentage, especially when combined with regular exercise.
4. Positive effects on bone density: Testosterone contributes to bone health, and a deficiency can lead to a decrease in bone density. TRT can help increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
5. Improved mood and mental clarity: Testosterone deficiency can lead to mood swings, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Normalizing testosterone levels can alleviate these symptoms, contributing to better mental clarity and a more stable mood.
6. Possible positive effects on the cardiovascular system: Some studies suggest that well-monitored TRT may have positive effects on the cardiovascular system, although research in this area is not yet complete.
