AndroGel Rocks!

blackhole · May 2, 2008

i researched online about using AndroGel as a workout 'supplement' and most people say it very weak or dont notice anything from it. well after using it for a week i must disagree! this stuff rocks! and i love that its so easy to apply as opposing to sticking urself. i know the dosage is small cause its not all absorbed through the skin but its working great. it did take almost a week to start noticing it effects. i am dosing as follows: 4 pumps twice a day, which is the highest presribed dose according to the package insert. perhaps its just cause i am an old fart and my test lvls are low but i like this stuff.

Its good stuff. Some people don't like messing with a gel and prefer to inject. I am for whatever will raise those test readings to a nice healthy range

just watch out, that stuff broke out my shoulders in a rash after a while. I was on it for like 6 months and then my skin would get very irritated from it. It got real bad at one point.

are you experiencing any bloat, or running an ai?

madetolift · May 3, 2008

i got a script for a special purpose and my level is now double the normal level around 1700. It works great for me and I got it for a medical reason. I use 2 packs in the morning and 1 in the evening and sometimes I use 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon and 1 in the evening. It is great and I have never broke out. I have not experienced any side effects in any way except my blood sugar is lower and I lift a ton more and look better.....

no offense but why would you be proud of having low test levels at 29??

Massive G · Jul 18, 2008

I don't like it cause it's messy and cold and their is a risk to transfer it from you or your clothes to others-even pets. Have to be careful.
But some like it for what is mentioned-no shot.
Really a small amount that is getting through-50 mg pack puts 5 mg of test in the blood, 100 mg =10 mg and so forth.

"their is a risk to transfer it from you or your clothes to others-even pets."

note to self. do not pet rex after putting on androgel.

what type of results are you getting that you like already?

Titan1969 · Jul 19, 2008

going thru the skin...wouldnt this have to pass thru the liver first before getting into the bloodstream?

chris250 · Jul 19, 2008

hey whatever works for ya !!!

qbkilla · Mar 3, 2011

im going to be getting this, would love to hear from some others who have used if you liked or didnt like it.

strongrhino · Mar 3, 2011

1700? Thats crazy! Better watch that prostate and gynocomastia. Thats too high. How old are you? Doc will surely half your dose if he sees that.

Glad it works for you. Sounds like a hassle.

Some people (including me and evidently you) absorb transdermal test well. I got even better results with Testim than Androgel. In particular, my TT levels would run from 1300 to 1600 on tube a day. I'm clearly absorbing better than 10% as these are levels you would normally see on 250mg of cyp. Most people, however, don't do as well on transdermal.

There are pros and cons of TD vs. im -cyp or -enanthate:
pros:
Less estro conversion, because 5-alpha reductase in skin gives you more dht conversion
Lower rates of polycythemia than long ester test

cons:
Expensive
Harder to calibrate doses exactly
Have to be careful not to wash off
Can smell bad

I now use test cyp rather than transdermal.

I was on it for a couple of months, it worked great for about a month, then my T levels dropped from the 800's to around 400 again. I read where this is the case with others as well. Also very expensive if no insurance. I have better results with 200mg cyp / 2 weeks than 2 packages of the gel daily. Insurance company likes me much better now too
