I am trying to find some reliable information on what can be expected from transdermal delivery of 1-test, 4-ad, and the like. Figures are floated around that over 30% transmission can be expected using the current recipes or storebought (CNW, PN, etc.) bottles. Of course numbers are going to vary due to a number of factors. But the thing is that when it comes to trying to figure out the cost/benefit analysis of using transdermal delivery, *everything* rides on the rate of delivery. So if "30%" is actually 10%, then it is not really worthwhile. I've read pharmaceutical articles which find from 5-60%, sometimes in the same study. Things like Androgel are pegged at a measly 10%. Anyhow, any solid info on this matter would be appreciated.
If you've got some experience with both 4-AD-cyp injections and 4-AD-base transdermal (or 1-test-cyp and 1-test-base, or 5aa...), please give some feedback here to the effect: "In my considered judgement, I'd say ____mg daily transdermally had the same effect for me as ____mg weekly of the ester by injection."
The cypionate ester is about 30% of the final weight of a steroid (or "pro-steroid"), so say 500mg/day of transdermal (3500mg/week) felt the same as 1000mg weekly from the -cyp, then the injectible route would be 5x as effective, 700mg:3500mg -- or to state it otherwise, the transdermal could be estimated to result in 20% effectiveness.
