Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has come a long way, and KYZATREX® is changing the game. As an FDA-approved oral TRT medication, it acts as a convenient, hassle-free option—all while maintaining steady testosterone levels.
But how does it compare to other alternatives? In this blog, we’ll break down what makes KYZATREX® unique and how it stacks up against pellets, patches, and more—so you can make the best choice for your health.
KYZATREX® is an FDA-approved oral testosterone treatment designed to restore healthy testosterone levels in men with low T. Unlike alternative treatments, KYZATREX® comes in a simple capsule, making it one of the most convenient and discreet TRT options available.
KYZATREX® delivers testosterone through the digestive system, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream to maintain steady hormone levels throughout the day. Unlike other forms of TRT, KYZATREX® is uniquely designed to bypass the liver, reducing the risk of liver damage while ensuring effective testosterone delivery.
This avoids the peaks and crashes seen with some other TRT methods, helping support:

For men looking for an effective alternative to traditional TRT, KYZATREX® offers a modern, non-invasive solution that fits easily into a daily routine.
Still wondering how it compares to other forms of TRT? Let’s talk about the difference between patches, gels, injections, and pellets and how KYZATREX is different.
Testosterone injections are one of the most common TRT methods. They are typically administered weekly or biweekly into the thigh or the glute, delivering a high dose of testosterone that gradually declines over time. Some patients self-administer at home, while others visit a clinic for their injections.
How KYZATREX® Compares:
Steady Testosterone Levels – Injections cause a peak right after administration followed by a gradual decline, which can lead to energy crashes, mood swings, or fluctuations in libido. KYZATREX® provides a steady, controlled release throughout the day, avoiding these highs and lows.
No Needles, No Discomfort – Injections require syringes, alcohol swabs, and precise technique, and some patients experience pain or bruising at the injection site. With KYZATREX®, there are no needles—just a simple pill taken twice a day.
Less Risk of Side Effects – Since injections create a sharp spike in testosterone, some men experience increased irritability, acne, or estrogen-related side effects. Additionally the sharp spike for long-time periods, can cause more than half of men taking injections to see elevated hematocrit or red blood cells. This often needs to be managed by donating blood every 6-8 weeks to check levels in the normal range. KYZATREX® delivers a more balanced and natural hormone level, potentially reducing these effects.
“For years I used testosterone injections but wanted to switch to an oral TRT. My doctor recommended KYZATREX® due to its tolerability and side effect profile and I’ve now been on KYZATREX® for 8 months. My testosterone levels are about 700 ng/dL and I feel just as good, if not better, on KYZATREX® than I did on injections.”

Testosterone gels and creams are applied topically to the skin daily (usually on the shoulders, arms, or thighs). The medication absorbs through the skin into the bloodstream.
How KYZATREX® Compares:
No Risk of Skin Transfer – Gels can accidentally transfer testosterone to others through skin contact (partners, children, pets), requiring caution after application. KYZATREX® is taken orally, eliminating this risk entirely.
More Consistent Absorption – Gels can be inconsistent due to sweat, showers, or friction from clothing, which can alter absorption levels. KYZATREX® provides a reliable, measured dose every time.
Mess-Free & Fast – Gels require waiting for it to dry and avoiding water exposure for hours after application, while KYZATREX® offers a quick, no-fuss alternative.
Testosterone pellets are small, rice-sized implants inserted under the skin (usually in the hip or buttocks) through a minor surgical procedure. The pellets slowly release testosterone over 3–6 months, dissolving over time before needing to be replaced.
How KYZATREX® Compares:
Adjustable vs. Fixed Dosing – Pellets provide a set testosterone dose for months, meaning adjustments require a new procedure. KYZATREX® allows for flexible daily dosing, so your provider can fine-tune your treatment as needed.
Steady Hormone Levels – Many pellet users experience spikes and dips in testosterone as the pellets break down, while KYZATREX® delivers a steady, controlled release to avoid fluctuations.
Non-Invasive Convenience – Pellets require an incision, local anesthesia, and recovery time, whereas KYZATREX® is a simple daily pill—no surgery required.
“When I first discovered I had Low T, I went with pellet therapy. While pellets seemed fine at first, they eventually became too much of a hassle – the painful implant process, scar tissue buildup and activity restrictions just weren’t for me, especially when the effects started wearing off before the next dose. As soon as I heard there was an oral option, that’s when I switched to KYZATREX®. I love the convenience of the capsules, and my testosterone levels are in the normal range! It’s made a real difference in how I feel.”

Testosterone patches are worn on the skin (typically on the arm, back, or thigh) and deliver a continuous release of testosterone throughout the day. They must be replaced daily or as directed by a healthcare provider.
How KYZATREX® Compares:
No Skin Irritation – Many patch users experience redness, itching, or peeling at the application site. KYZATREX® is ingested, avoiding skin reactions altogether.
Flexible Dosing – Patches deliver a fixed amount of testosterone, limiting adjustments without switching prescriptions. KYZATREX® allows for customized dosing tailored to your needs.
Discreet & Unnoticeable – Patches can be visible under clothing or come loose with sweat, while KYZATREX® is completely private and easy to take anywhere.
With multiple TRT options available, why are more men turning to KYZATREX®? The answer is simple: convenience, consistency, and control.
Here’s why KYZATREX® is becoming the preferred choice for testosterone replacement therapy:
✔ No Needles, No Mess – Unlike injections, creams, or patches, KYZATREX® is a simple, twice-daily pill that fits seamlessly into your routine. No syringes, no skin irritation, no hassle.
✔ Steady Testosterone Levels – Traditional injections cause spikes and crashes, leading to mood swings and inconsistent symptom relief. KYZATREX® delivers a steady dose, helping you feel your best every day.
✔ More Flexibility & Adjustability – Other TRT methods require fixed dosing or frequent office visits. With KYZATREX®, your provider can fine-tune your dose without extra procedures or delays.
✔ Proven, FDA-Approved Treatment – KYZATREX® is clinically tested and FDA-approved, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and quality you can trust.
