Oral, Sublingual, Injectable, or Topical: Which TRT Method Fits You?

Forge offers four ways to take testosterone. Here's how they differ and how your provider helps you choose.

Most online TRT brands offer one method: a weekly injection. Forge offers four, because the right method depends on your body, your schedule, and your comfort. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and your provider will walk through them with you.

Oral

A daily capsule. Simple, no needles, easy to travel with. Requires consistency every day.

Sublingual

Dissolves under the tongue. No needles, no daily cream application. Also needs daily consistency.

Injectable

Self-administered at home. Steady, well-understood, and the most common method in the industry. Some men prefer not to inject.

Topical

A daily transdermal cream. No needles, easy to apply. Requires care to avoid skin contact transfer to partners or children after application.

How we choose

Your labs, your history, your lifestyle, and your preference. Method can change over time if something isn't working. That flexibility is one of the reasons Forge doesn't run a one-size-fits-all protocol.
