There is a website
www.Androforte.com
I would point out though that even if this is legit (I'm not saying it isn't). Testosterone is still a CONTROLLED substance in the USA and would be illegal to import. I've ordered stuff from Inhouse pharmacy without issues, but never tried to get anything controlled.

Over the years I have tried virtually every testosterone supplement out there. I think it was about 30 years ago that I first tried an oral form. OMG was it awful. Had an aftertaste that lasted for several days that completely ruined your appetite. I never reached the point of working about liver or kidney function cause I never finished the provided batch of pills. YUCK!!!
For many years I found Androgel to be quite effective, but as i have gotten older, I sweat more, and especially in warm weather. This negates getting the proper dosage. Overall, both from a cost and effectiveness standpoint, I find that a weekly injection is the best choice. It keeps my T levels pretty steady, and I have no issues with performance.
My health insurance does not like people other than diabetics self injecting so i did have to get the doctor to write a "letter of medical necessity" to be approved for injectables.

I guess I am lucky(?) when it come to excessive sweating. I have poor thyroid function and can be cold at 74 deg. and comfortable at 90 degrees.....as long as I am not in direct sunlight. AndroGel seems to work for me quite well. Since I don't worry about sex, I can keep my count low anyway. A Dr. friend told me that at my age, I could get along without any HRT. BUT, then I would have to worry about weight gain.

Maybe that's my problem. I don't take the hoodie off until it hits 80F and near 100F outside doesn't bother me a bit.
You can ask anyone from the MOM who went to the IGA with me, I stepped in the walk-in beer cooler and damn near died.

Whenever we go out to eat at a restaurant, I ALWAYS take a sweater or jacket in order to keep warm. Why, I even take one when I go to the Senior Citizen's Center for a meal.

Thanks for that input SplitDik. I will research it. Do you need a prescription to get it? Since I don't have a scrotum any more, I guess it could be applied to the area formerly housing the scrotum.
Might want to get some knowledge base info on applying any TRT on the skin anywhere near the prostate.
Just to avoid maybe elevating risk of prostate cancer, or aggravate any low level insignificant prostate cancer that may be there.
I've always wondered, if TRT is absorbed into the skin and elevates my T level, when I apply sunscreen, underarm deodorant, use toothpaste, gargle, those are loaded with chemicals.
Just what is being absorbed into my body via the skin, and how is it affecting my health?
Probably don't want to know; it is too late anyway for me.
It is said, "You are what you eat"; how about "You are what you put onto your skin" ???
