We offer a range of treatments for testosterone therapy, including non-hormonal options such as Enclomiphene and Enclomiphene + Tadalafil, as well as hormone-based treatements such as injectable, oral, and gel-based Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). All treatments are prescribed by licensed physicians based on your individual needs and medical history.
Treatment costs vary depending on your specific needs and prescribed medications. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive review of your symptoms, lab work, and medical history.

TRT is a medical treatment designed to restore testosterone levels in men who have clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism). It aims to alleviate symptoms associated with low testosterone, such as fatigue, low libido, and mood changes.
Candidates typically have symptoms of low testosterone and confirmed low levels through blood tests. A healthcare provider determines candidacy after a thorough evaluation, considering medical history and potential risks.
Benefits may include increased energy levels, improved mood and concentration, increased libido and sexual function, increased muscle mass and bone density, and decreased body fat. Results vary per individual.
Like any medical treatment, TRT can have side effects. Common ones might include acne, fluid retention, or changes in sleep patterns. More significant risks exist, which is why treatment requires medical supervision and regular monitoring. Your provider will discuss these with you.
TRT can be administered through various methods, including injections (intramuscular or subcutaneous), topical gels or creams, patches, or oral medications. The best method depends on individual preference, lifestyle, and medical needs, as determined by your healthcare provider.
Some effects, like improved libido and energy, might be noticed within a few weeks. Other benefits, such as changes in muscle mass or mood, can take several months. Consistency and adherence to the prescribed plan are key, along with regular follow-ups with your provider.
Enclomiphene is an oral medication known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It's used as an alternative to TRT to help boost the body's natural testosterone production.
It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain (specifically the pituitary gland). This signals the body to produce more Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which in turn stimulate the testes to produce more testosterone naturally.
Men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone who wish to increase their levels without directly administering testosterone might be candidates. It's often considered for men who want to maintain fertility, as traditional TRT can suppress sperm production. A healthcare provider makes the final determination.
Potential benefits include increased natural testosterone levels, improvement in symptoms associated with low T (like energy, mood, libido), and preservation of testicular function and fertility compared to traditional TRT.
Enclomiphene is generally considered well-tolerated. Potential side effects can include headache, nausea, or hot flashes, though often mild. Unlike its relative clomiphene citrate, significant visual side effects are less commonly reported but still possible. Discuss all potential side effects with your provider.
It's usually prescribed as an oral tablet taken daily or on specific days, according to your healthcare provider's instructions based on your individual needs and lab results.
This is a combination treatment that includes Enclomiphene, which helps boost natural testosterone production, and Tadalafil, a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).
This combination aims to address both symptoms related to low testosterone (like low libido, fatigue) via Enclomiphene, and erectile dysfunction via Tadalafil, offering a comprehensive approach to men's sexual health and well-being.
Patients may experience the benefits of increased testosterone levels (improved energy, mood, libido) along with the enhanced erectile function provided by Tadalafil. It targets both hormonal balance and direct sexual function.
Men experiencing symptoms of both low testosterone and erectile dysfunction may be candidates. Suitability is determined by a healthcare provider after evaluating medical history, symptoms, and lab results.
It's usually prescribed as a combined oral medication, often taken daily. The specific dosage and frequency are determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual needs.
Potential side effects can be a combination of those associated with Enclomiphene (like headache, nausea) and Tadalafil (like headache, flushing, indigestion, back pain). It's crucial to discuss all potential risks and benefits with your provider.
Yes, initial and periodic lab tests are essential to accurately assess your hormone levels, evaluate your overall health, and help your provider determine the most appropriate and safe treatment plan for you. Ongoing monitoring through labs is also crucial for effective treatment adjustments.
After your initial consultation and if deemed necessary by your provider, we will provide you with a lab requisition form. You simply need to take this form to any LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics location that is convenient for you to have your blood drawn.
Yes, the cost of the necessary lab tests required to initiate and monitor your treatment plan through Vital Protocol is included in your program cost. You won't receive a separate bill from us or the lab for standard required testing.
This depends on the specific tests ordered by your provider. Often, measuring testosterone is best done in the morning. Fasting may be required for other tests like lipid panels. We will provide you with specific instructions regarding fasting or timing when your lab order is generated.
Frequency varies based on your treatment plan and clinical progress. Typically, you'll have baseline labs before starting, follow-up labs a few months after beginning treatment to assess response, and then periodic labs (e.g., every 6-12 months) for ongoing monitoring, as determined by your healthcare provider.
