Oral TRT at Maximus uses native (bioidentical) testosterone delivered in an oral formulation designed for lymphatic absorption. This allows testosterone to enter circulation without relying on traditional injection routes.

Native testosterone is the same molecular form produced naturally by the body. It differs from testosterone esters (used in many injectable therapies), which require enzymatic conversion before becoming active testosterone.

Using the bioidentical form allows the protocol to mimic the structure of the testosterone your body already recognizes.

Oral TRT uses a formulation engineered for absorption through the lymphatic system rather than the digestive bloodstream route. This helps avoid first-pass liver metabolism and supports more direct uptake into circulation.
