It will OPTIMIZE your testosterone/free testosterone levels. Big difference 
Given your age, total test ranges somewhere from about 300ng/dl up to 1000ng/dl. If you test out at 301, your Dr. will likely say "No problem, you're normal". Yet, we all know who has an easier time building muscle at 999ng/dl vs. 301, don't we?
This is where your quandry with the medical establishment starts. Dr's are trained to get sick people to "normal", not normal people to "optimal". The Dr. will view this as an unnecessary risk. I beg to differ. This is a quality of life issue. If training and gaining is important to you and your self worth is (even in part) tied to that, then it IS very much a quality of life issue.
Your solution? Have labs run to see if you need a test booster in the first place. The assumption is that at age 19, you're likely optimal in terms of test/free test. However, always question assumptions.
If you're not interested in the hassle, don't have insurance or are looking for something cheaper, I'd suggest the following excellent alternative:

Hope that helps..
