Men's Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treats low testosterone in men who have symptoms and confirmed low levels on blood work. It can help with energy, mood, libido and body composition, though individual results vary.
At NRG Clinic, treatment starts with a lab panel that includes your first consultation. A provider reviews your results and symptoms and decides whether TRT is right for you and which form fits. Most men pay $100 a month or less for medication, shipping included, with no membership fees and no contracts. The lab panel is $79. Prices are current as of October 2026.
The guides below cover symptoms of low testosterone, how to read your labs, injection methods, managing estrogen, side effects and what to expect over time.
