HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 1-Testosterone by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 2 active ingredients. 1-Androsterone is a prohormone — a compound your body converts into 1-testosterone and other androgens (male hormones).

The other active ingredient, 6,7 dihydroxybergamottin, isn't checked in our database. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, phosphatidylcholine, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, phytosterols, magnesium stearate, silica, and food colorings.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see 1-androsterone's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: muscle building and strength enhancement.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Muscle mass, Strength, Body composition.
  • The closest evidence on file: 1-androsterone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for 1-androsterone and athletic performance is insufficient — we don't have reliable data showing it works for that purpose. Limited safety testing has been done on this ingredient overall.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

1-Androsterone carries real health risks with little safety testing to back it up. The most common side effects reported are abnormal cholesterol levels (LDL cholesterol rose about 29 mg/dL and HDL fell about 19 mg/dL in a 4-week trial), liver enzyme elevation, and kidney problems.

One trial showed kidney function (measured by GFR) dropped by about 16.4 mL/min/1.72m², crossing into a range that suggests mild kidney impairment, though creatinine stayed in the normal range. Do not use this product if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

The safety data advises against it during both — it's a hormone-altering compound, and the risks to a developing baby or nursing infant are unknown.

Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — 1-androsterone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 8 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any prescription testosterone you're taking before using this product — the combination carries a Moderate risk of additive mood, heart, kidney, and liver problems. We could not check the other active ingredient for drug interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This is a hormonal prohormone with documented cardiovascular, liver, and kidney risks in short-term use and very limited safety data overall. It's not appropriate for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

If you take prescription testosterone or any other medications, check with your pharmacist before starting — interactions are possible. Talk to your doctor about whether this product is right for your goals.

1-Testosterone by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals: Common Questions

Does 1-Testosterone by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 1-Testosterone has a known interaction with 8 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
1-Testosterone contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this actually work for building muscle or athletic performance?
The evidence isn't there yet. We have insufficient reliable data to say whether 1-androsterone improves athletic performance, so we can't confirm it works for that.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
The most common ones reported are abnormal cholesterol (LDL up, HDL down), liver enzyme elevation, and kidney problems. In one 4-week trial, kidney function declined and kidney impairment was suggested, though the main kidney marker stayed in normal range. Long-term effects aren't well studied.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because of unknown hormonal risks to the baby. Don't use this product if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Why can't you check one of the ingredients for drug interactions?
We don't have a monograph on file for 6,7 dihydroxybergamottin, so we hold no interaction data for it. That doesn't mean it's safe with all medications — just that we can't check it in our system.
Is this safe to take with testosterone therapy?
No, not without your doctor's approval. 1-Androsterone converts to testosterone and similar hormones, so combining it with prescription testosterone raises the risk of mood changes, heart problems, kidney damage, and liver damage. Talk to your doctor first.
