Hi Mommarv
I didn't know testosterone was offered by injection at all? There are implants that are sometimes given - most usually to women who have had hysterectomy with ovary removal and whose T level will be negligible, and I think Studd offers them (amongsy others). Testosterone supplementation is not usually given on its own either - it would be given as part of HRT ie supplemental to oestrogen/progesterone - and the NICE guidelines also imply this.
Livial is not like other HRT as you will see from this site : "gonadomimetic synthetic preparation with weak estrogenic, progestogenic & androgenic properties". This is what it says in the product info:
"Following oral administration, tibolone is rapidly metabolised into three compounds, which all contribute to the pharmacodynamic profile of Livial. Two of the metabolites (3α-OH-tibolone and 3β-OH-tibolone) have oestrogenic-like activities, whereas the third metabolite (Δ4-isomer of tibolone) has progestogenic and androgenic-like activities.
Livial substitutes for the loss of oestrogen production in postmenopausal women and alleviates menopausal symptoms. Livial prevents bone loss following menopause or ovariectomy."
