Epi in Transdermal delivery????

[Colden]

Could anyone explain if there would be any additional benefit to using Epistane in a Transdermal Delivery System? Is this a possibility or would it be a big waste of a good product?

Waste of product. The epi is methylated ensuring about 98-99% oral bioavailability, transdermal application would only allow for about 25-30% delivery thru the layer of the dermis(if that assuming the methly doesn't increase the molecular weight to much).

Exactly right. You would be losing product!

Not to mention that rubbing a DHT-esque product into the skin might not be so great for the complexion.
