It’s a cold December morning here in Ireland, and as I sip my coffee, I can’t help but reflect on the journey I’ve been on with TRT. The rain’s lashing against the window, and the kids are already arguing over who gets to use the iPad first. Typical Sunday chaos. But today, I want to talk about something serious: why I quit underground labs for my testosterone needs.

Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: underground labs. Now, before you start picturing some mad scientist in a basement, let me clarify. Underground labs, or UGLs, are unregulated facilities that produce everything from supplements to, yes, testosterone. And while they might sound like a quick fix for your TRT needs, there’s a lot more to consider.

The Appeal of Underground Labs

First off, why do people even turn to UGLs? Well, it’s no secret that getting a prescription for TRT can be a bit of a hassle. Between the blood tests, the doctor’s visits, and the endless paperwork, it’s enough to make you want to throw in the towel. And let’s not even get started on the cost. For some, UGLs seem like a more accessible and affordable option.

Let’s be honest, lads—when it comes to TRT, we’ve all had those moments where we’ve considered taking a shortcut. For me, that moment came last winter, when the days were short, the weather was miserable, and my energy levels were in the gutter. I was on 125mg of Sustanon weekly, but something felt off. My bloods weren’t where I wanted them to be, and I started wondering if I could do better. That’s when I first considered underground labs.

It’s been nine months since the lockdown lifted here in Ireland, and like many of you, I’ve been trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy. For me, that meant getting back on track with my TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy). But as anyone who’s been on TRT knows, it’s not always straightforward. Between supply chain issues, skyrocketing prices, and the general chaos of post-lockdown life, I found myself considering something I never thought I would: underground labs.

It’s been a wild ride, lads. If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’ve been on TRT for a while now—125mg of Sustanon weekly, plus a bit of HCG to keep the boys downstairs in working order. But today, I’m here to talk about the darker side of TRT: underground labs. And why, after dipping my toes into that murky water, I decided to quit altogether.
