Anyone make their own TD test?

[ericos_bob]

I have access to test base powder at a reasonable price. I was thinking of putting together a TD carrier and would be interested to hear what others have come up with. Also suggestions on dosing.

 

[solidsnake]

I use it on every cycle, as I work offshore I can't take needle with me so perfect solution for me.

 

[ericos_bob]

Nice. How much does one need to dose daily transdermally to see comparable results to injectable test at 500mg EW?

 

[vujade]

depending on the carrier, you will probably only see about 40% absorption.
You would probably need 150mg per day.
I know others I have seen run TD Test, and got good results from 100 per day.

Yeah 100mg a day has always worked for me. I just do a 50mg morning TD dose and a 50mg oral dose later. You could cap some if you wanted to go that route or just apply the TD twice daily.

are you making your own carrier or using Salvo..?

Youre taking an oral dose of testosterone?

Lol.

OP - Nos Labs sells their carrier. I would go with that before trying to make your own.

Here's a formula you can use to get an equivalent TD dose:

(Weekly IM dose * (1 - ester weight percentage) / 7) / absorption rate

So for 500mg of test E a week, where the ester takes up about 30% and the absorption rate is 40%:

(500 * (1 - 0.3) / 7) / 0.4 = 125mg.

Therefore, using these percentages, a 500mg weekly IM dose would be approximately equivalent to a 125mg daily TD dose.

Or just get some DMSO, just make sure your skin is REALLY clean when you apply.

Literally read trest for some reason lol. Had just woke up. Carry on.

 

[ericos_bob]

All taken onboard cheers fellas. I have 100 grams to play around with. Sounds like 125mg TD will be the go for a first cycle.

Another vote for dmso

 

[solidsnake]

Yep dmso is what my lab uses. Can't beat it

 

[ericos_bob]

DMSO it is. Is it true TD test aromatizes a great deal vs IM and if so are any of you running an AI alongside?

I use TD test on top of injections and it works well. By it's self, I doubt you'll get much in the way of gains. I micronize my powder with a mortar and pestle (pain in the azz) then use propylene glycol to dissolve it then compound it with PhloJel.

I did the same thing with methenolone acetate and let me tell you not to waste your money doing that. Crap made me so lethargic, I couldn't handle it for more than a week.

No, TD test aromatizes a lot less than injection. Skin is rich in 5AR and causes TD test to raise DHT a great deal.

You know, I've never thought about running test TD. I might look into it as the wife doesn't really want me to pin

 

[ericos_bob]

There was/is? a product called Trendflow. It was marketed as a direct replacement for IM test unlike the much lower dosed testogels/patches which are only practical for TRT. Was dosed at 100mg/ml and there's a number of promising logs by bodybuilders seeing gains of 15lb in 6 weeks and having more wood than the amazon rainforest etc. They were running at 2-3 pumps ED. I don't think it's being produced or atleast I can't find it but I'm sure it's nothing we couldn't replicate with test base and a good carrier.

 

[AlTiTuDe06]

Very Interested......

It's a pain in the butt to keep TD test from rubbing off onto my wife. Basically I only put it on the tops of my feet and then cover them with socks.
