Has anyone taken Kyzatrex® instead of the pellet or cream?
If you have taken this oral form of testosterone I would like to get your feedback.

I just read about KYZATREX® an oral form of testosterone that is FDA approved .It is supposed to more accurately mimic the natural rhythms of the body. I have an appointment with my provider and will ask her about it and report back.
I got this information in an email from the peak performance website: peakperformance.com.
@gravity3 I found the KYZATREX® website from the manufacturer. It looks like it is a prescription for males whose testosterone count is low. I'm guessing that it would be prescribed off-label for a female. I know a few women who are prescribed testosterone to increase libido but otherwise do not know other reasons why women choose to take this. Just wondering if you would like to share why you are interested in this formulation? and yes, please do report back what your medical provider says.
As we know PET is very much individualized, but Kyzatrex has that disadvantage of being oral and having liver involvement. You know your body and if you decided to take it, I'm sure you'd have regular blood work done for liver enzyme levels, AST and ALT to check for any liver stress or damage. Let us know how you like it. It would be so much easier to take a pill instead of injections, cream, gel etc.
"I know a few women who are prescribed testosterone to increase libido but otherwise do not know other reasons why women choose to take this."
It’s understandable — many women don’t realize how important testosterone is throughout life. Both women and men naturally produce testosterone and estrogen, just in different amounts. For women, testosterone is a vital hormone that affects much more than libido.
One key example is bone health. Testosterone works with estrogen to build bone: it promotes new bone formation, while estrogen controls the breakdown of old bone. Together, they protect bones better than either hormone alone. Around 70% of women over 50 in the U.S. have either osteopenia or osteoporosis. That’s why forums like the Mayo Clinic osteoporosis boards are among the busiest — women are looking for guidance and support for a very common problem.
Testosterone also affects genitourinary and overall health. While declining estrogen drives most menopause-related symptoms like vaginal dryness and tissue thinning, low testosterone can make these issues worse. Beyond that, it supports muscle strength, energy, mood, and even cognitive function.
Besides libido, replacing low testosterone in women can support many aspects of health and quality of life that most women aren’t even aware of.
I have an estradiol and testosterone pellet, as well as progesterone and estradiol vaginal cream in my bhrt regime. I wanted it to have a healthy libido, help with building and maintaining muscle. In addition helping keep bones healthy. Also, because it is a hormone that both women and men have and is depleted with age why would you not have it as part of hormone replacement!
Exactly! Thanks.
Good info. Thanks
@gravity3 I have an appointment with my endocrinologist in December. I'll ask him about testosterone. There are hormones I cannot take because I was diagnosed and treated for endometrial cancer. So any estrogen products are "off the table" as my radiation oncologist told me.
@kisu Thank you for your explanation? Are you taking any hormone replacement?
Yes, I take hormone replacement. Hormones are a very fraught subject. Sadly, it's filled with enormous amounts of fear, myths, old knowledge/no knowledge and misinformation.
