• What is Gonadorelin, and what is it studied for?

  Gonadorelin is a synthetic version of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which the hypothalamus produces naturally. It signals the pituitary gland, which in turn signals the testes or ovaries. Testosterone replacement can suppress the body's own hormonal signaling, and gonadorelin is sometimes prescribed alongside it to help maintain that signaling, though this is not an FDA-approved indication. Whether that approach makes sense for you is a clinical decision to discuss with your nurse practitioner at the free consultation.

• Is Gonadorelin FDA-approved?

  Gonadorelin has been the active ingredient in FDA-approved products used for fertility and for diagnostic testing, though those products are no longer marketed in the United States. Its use alongside testosterone therapy is not an FDA-approved indication. Your nurse practitioner can explain that distinction at your free consultation.

• What are the risks of Gonadorelin, and who should avoid it?

  Gonadorelin is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and any existing conditions before prescribing and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to your free consultation.

• What does it cost, and what is included?

  Bottle pricing is shown above. Every order includes one medical review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.

• How do I start?

  Book a free consultation with a nurse practitioner, online or at any of our three locations. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus the one review fee.

• Where does my prescription come from?

  Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.

• How long does one bottle last, and how do refills work?

  That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. There is no subscription and no automatic refill, so you order again only when you decide to.

• Can I collect it or have it shipped?

  Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge. If you cannot get to a clinic and would like to be shown how to inject, we can set up a video visit and walk you through it.
