    What other supplements are you taking in addition to your TRT regimen?

    Most of us don't stop at TRT. Once started, we look into other ways to optimize health and wellness. What other supplements are you taking in addition to your TRT regimen? I'd love to know what else everyone is on and why. Also, does quality matter, or do you buy the cheapest you can find?

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
