McCall McPherson breaks down testosterone therapy safety, focusing on why matching your body's natural hormone rhythms matters. Elevated hematocrit, a blood-thickening side effect, hits 66% with injections but drops below 2% with Kaisertrex.

By mimicking that daily rhythm, I think we achieve two interesting aspects, both on the safety side and on the efficacy side. But safety, actually I, I lead with that because we know testosterone has this checkered past. People are concerned about it or think steroids or bodybuilding and whatnot. So I think safety is paramount. If you look at Kaiser tracks, one of the big issues you see in testosterone therapy is the elevation of hematocrit or red blood cells, this blood thickening phenomenon. With Kaisertrex we see a sub 2% incidence rate of elevated hematocrits. To give you some comparison, when you look at literature again a number of years as injections have been around, that rate can can trend as high as 66% for injections.
