Cheapest, if needed: Testosterone supplementation should only be considered & offered to those w/demonstrated need, eg hypogonadism, when followed closely by prescriber familiar w/potential side effects. Weekly injections are least expensive manner of replacement but can hurt. Daily creams/gels/patches are easier but more expensive. Choose what's best for you. Remember, goal is clinical benefit, not some lab result.
