I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around 5mg of test being enough to put test in normal range for a TRT patient. Just doesn't make sense
Lol, bro, I know. I use dermatrest man. When I first came across Pat's claims I couldnt believe it. But to date, I havent read any scientific evidence that contradicts him. It only corroborates his claims.
This is gonna be crude as fuk, and the comparison wont be anywhere near as neat as the math might indicate, but consider this:
Average male test level is 700 ng/dl. Thats 700 nanograms test per 100ml blood.
A nanogram is tiny. Lol. One thousand millionth of a gram. So 700 of them, per 100ml blood.
Theres on average 5lt blood in a male body. So, assuming even plasma distribution, thats 35,000 nanograms of
plasma test in the body.
Wanna know how many nanograms 5mg of test is, if also evenly distributed in plasma throughout the body?
100,000ng/dl. But in the study 5mg measured as 350ng/dl.
Wtf?
So:
1) my math is fukt
2) there is clearly a tonne of other **** going on here and we are looking at things too simplistically.
3) both 1 and 2
