Author: Eric Lander
WARNING: DO NOT BUY AndroGel 1.62% Until You Read This Review!
Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!
AndroGel 1.62% is manufactured in the USA by a non-reputable company, so I would not trust it completely. There is an official website that gives some information on the product. The company also produces another product of the kind - AndroGel 1%. The manufacturers promise to solve the problem of hypogonadism. It happens when a man lacks hormone testosterone in his body. It can be caused by some medical conditions which are connected with functioning of the brain. Testosterone levels are considered to be normal between 300 ng/dL and 1000 ng/dL.
Ingredients of AndroGel 1.62% - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?
Androgel 1.62% is a kind of testosterone, a hormone that is present in the human body. Men usually have more testosterone in their body, which is extremely important for their health and life. When this product is absorbed through the human skin, it gets into the body in the form of natural testosterone.
Androgel 1.62% comes in a pump. You will need prescription to purchase this product. Depending on your dose, a definite amount of pumps should be applied to your shoulders, belly and upper arms every day. It is very important to wash your hands and put on your clothes immediately after using the product. Its transfer can be harmful for other people, especially children and women.
Androgel 1.62% contains Endogenous androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT)) that are necessary for the growth and development of sex organs and for functioning of secondary sex features. The product is meant for men over 18 only. These substances are important for the growth and development of prostate, penis and scrotum, seminal vesicles; growth of hair on the body; laryngeal enlargement, alterations in body musculature, vocal chord thickening, proper fat distribution.
Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?
The manufacturer of AndroGel 1.62% mentions some side effects of the product on its website. It can cause the following side effects. The supplement raises the risk of prostate cancer. If your prostate gland is already enlarged, your condition can get worse due to AndroGel 1.62%. You'll also notice some changes in urination.
Some users have reported of developing blood clots in the lungs or legs. The symptoms of a blood clot in a leg are swelling, leg pain, or redness. And if you have a blood clot in your lung it can be difficult to breathe or you can suffer from chest pain. The product can also increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. Large doses may lower your sperm count.
A few users inform of swelling of their feet, ankles, or body. This can become a great problem for people with kidney, heart, or liver disease. Some men may have their breasts enlarged. Sleep apnea (breathing problems while you sleep) is the most serious side effect of AndroGel 1.62%. One can suffer from hypertension, mood swings, high number of red blood cells, and skin irritation.
It is prohibited to use the product if you have breast cancer or prostate cancer. AndroGel 1.62% is not designed for women; it's purely a male product. It is always a good idea to consult your doctor concerning the need of taking this medicine.
"Took as directed but did nothing to boost testosterone. My Dr. took a reading before and after taking 1 bottle, it remained the same"
"Did absolutely nothing, a total waste of money"
"I've completely stopped taking these as they would make my heart race randomly"
Where To Buy AndroGel 1.62%?
The product is available on Amazon, GNC, Walmart as well as on the official supplement's website. I would recommend you ordering it only from the reputable site. You need to see a doctor and get a prescription in order to use Androgel 1.62%. Unless it is covered by insurance, you'll find the price to be quite high, at over $350 for a one month supply.
My Final Summary
AndroGel 1.62% is a clear gel without any odor. It dries on your skin very quickly. It is packed in the form of a metered-dose pump, so that you can easily use it in a few seconds. The product is available on many insurance plans. You can get the details about your coverage from your insurance plan.
One of the greatest disadvantages of AndroGel 1.62% is that you can't apply it in case of suffering from any serious medical condition such as breast cancer or prostate cancer. It can be very harmful even to relatively healthy people. You can read about possible side effects upper in this article. The product requires a prescription. You'll need to be very careful not to apply it on someone else accidentally. Besides, it is expensive.
Some of the advantages of Androgel 1.62% concern its form: it is easy to use and apply. You won't need any injections. You can define appropriate dosage with your doctor. I can't recommend this product as there are many other medicines on the market that can solve this problem without the harm to your health.
Affordable Alternatives
Male hypogonadism is a clinical syndrome the reason of which lies in insufficient production of testosterone. A lot of contemporary doctors are aware of the fact that the problem of low or absence of testosterone in men can be solved by some others medicines more effectively. These medicines should be completely natural and non-harmful to health. Besides, the chosen remedy should depend on the causes of Male hypogonadism and a concrete man's concern about fertility.
I agree with these specialists. After studying many products I can say that there is a product that works that way - Provacyl, and it's really cool! Of course, I recommend you reading my review about Provacyl, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
