I have been trying to find a definitive answer and can't seem to find conclusive evidence.
Is estradiol conversion less on topical Testosterone vs injections.
My thinking is the increase of DHT conversion via 5AR in the skin would antagonize the aromatase enzyme and result in less overall E2 conversion versus injected Testosterone. This would be seem to be particularly true in areas of skin with less subcutaneous fat underneath like the scrotum and bicep crease.
Has anyone seen reduced E2 levels for similar Total T levels in your blood work versus injection?
I tend to get highish E2 conversion and low DHT conversion for high normal levels of Total T when I do shots.
I'd like to see if topical may be a good option.
My DHT levels remain low and I want the benefits of a robust DHT level:
Libido and alpha feeling.
