What happens when you inject test under the skin OR in a fatty area of the body the test is still there does it just take much longer to be utilized??
Yeah, it just takes longer to break down and circulate into the blood stream, although I don’t know the exact time frame compared to intramuscular.
I did this once accidentally, as Schwarz may remember. Anyway, it basically causes what seemed to be a sterile abscess. It was a hard lump that took a few weeks to go away. Harmless, but I still wouldn’t recommend it.
Some guys doing TRT do this. In small quantities it is harmless. Larger quantities it is preferably to go intramuscular.
It’s hard to determine the absorption rates of Test using SQ compared to IM. For the most part, the SQ method should be reserved for substances suspended in water, as oil-based would require a much longer time to enter the bloodstream. Sanitation also comes into play when considering the SQ method: Necrosis, swelling, and pain at the site of injection are more likely with SQ. Of course, many would assume that the advantage is having a greater diversity of injection sites.
In my opinion, SQ isn’t worth it.
