I have about 10 boxes of androl gel…Im on 100mg a week of EHANTHATE from dr…If I had 5 grams a day of gel…whats that = in the sense of 100mgs jumps to what ?
and for 10 grams a day ?
Thanks guys
I believe 5-10 grams will put most hypogonadal men in the mid-high normal range. You will only absorb around 10% of the actual applied amount of hormone. I’m not sure how many packets are in a box, but if I were you I would save them for a period of heavy training to aid in recovery.
ok I got like 10 boxes of 60 packets…each 10 grams…im trying to get a round about how much that would add to my 100mg a week…in mg’s…thanks for the reply.

I realize that you already have the androgel and that is why you wish to utilize that, but to make things much simpler for yourself adding in a second shot of test per week makes much more sense.
Damn, that is a lot of Androgel.
Okay, I am reasonably sure that AG is a 1% solution. Lets do the math, 10g = 10000mg; 1% = .01; 10000mg*.01 = 100mg. This 100mg is the amount of Testosterone you will be applying to the skin.
While you will be applying 100mg of Testosterone to your skin, you will only absorb approximately 10% of the Testosterone applied. So then, 10% = .10; 100mg*.10 = 10mg of Testosterone absorbed.
Now this is not the same as injecting 10mg of Testosterone. From what I have seen 5-10mg of AG will put a man in the mid-high normal range.
You will have to do some playing around as I have no idea what your goals are. I would start at 5g/day, preferably split into and applied in two equal doses spread 12 hours apart. It actually sounds like something fun to play around with.
My dr is my friend…what I did was kept getting it from him…while inject from my ENDO…only 10 absorbed ? I thought it was 70
from other readings…I figa ya know more…
so 2.5mg 2 x a day…
fightu35 - I thought that you did not absorb transdermals… so what is to be gained?
10% is good, but some do not aborb any significant amounts.
It worked,not as much as the inject…I figure why waste it…Ill try it… then have my levels checked…cant hurt no …
I have a question: Does the area of application have any significance upon the efficacy of absorption of actual hormone from androgel?
For example, I’m not ever planning on using androgel at any point in my life, but if it were suddenly, in some hypothetical world, the only alternative, then what would I do? Could I apply the patch to the area of my groin between the inner thigh and scrotum for maximum absorption of hormone, I wonder? Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Certainly some sites are more efficacious than others, right?
noooooo not near groin…lol I was told 1 thing from my dr…1 thing from my endo…
the box says abdomen,upper arms n shoulders endo said large muscles…like quads…I did quads…
Why?
Genuinely curious.
I was reffering to all the warnings I read…and was told from dr…not to get it near ,or on ya…‘FRIENDS’
Cortes:
I believe the formulation contains alcohol. That would be a good reason to avoid any areas that would be in contact with your junk.
Bill Roberts is of course the Encyclopedia Britannica of transdermal application. If you are really curious I would ask him.
I hear some put the gel on right before they wrok out ? make any sense ??
IIRC there’s a higher concentration of the 5-Alpha Reductase enzyme near the scrotum area. By applying it in that area you’d likely see most of the T converted into DHT - while not a terrible hormone, can cause some serious issues in the long run.

I was thinking if im planning on upping my inject any way…when it comes in…wouldnt 10 grams a day be better ?
Why continue this discussion? You are on multiple boards asking the same question(s), which essentially means you will be doing whatever the fuck you want to do anyway.
You’re still on another board asking about how much Testosterone you will absorb! I took the time and laid the math out pretty plain and simple for you. My dosing recommendations were based upon scientific literature. If I wasn’t clear before…just fucking try it!
you da man son ,thanks got it,lol

I “think” he just doesn’t want to waste it.
Hell, ship it to me.
