Re: Testosterone injection options

January 25, 2004

Hi Armyguy,

Thanks a bunch for a very educational piece. I can certainly agree with

what you are saying, no problem there. Especially the point about other

medications.

The testosterone that eventually gets absorbed and used by the body is

pure, whether synthesised or not. And there is the dividing line. I

consider the testicular stuff to be natural as it is already there and

needs no adjustment before being administered.

Whereas the synthesised stuff is extracted from Cholesterol or even Soy,

chemically modified to suit the body and is pure.

It's a fine line

As you surmise, I stick to the absolute definition I quoted, purely so

as not to mislead someone who is looking for precisely that.

You want that article I quoted?

Cheers

Nick

Hi , I have been on depoT injections for over 33 years and

have tried everything from patches to androgel to compounded T gel.

Bottom line is if it working for you then stay with it. The only

real alternatives are some kind of skin spread on which you may not

absorb as well and are a daily nuisance, or a patch which irritates

the skin and leaves and sticky adhesive to clean off, of pellets

which are very expensive and require minor surgical proceedure every

few months. How much depoT are you injecting every how many days?

Norton,

Thanks for the response. I have been on TRT for going on 25years and

have been on injections, gels and HCG. Did not like the gels.

I am currently on 100 units of T and 2 - 250 mg of HCG weekly. My

levels seem to be good for me.

I guess I was more curious about the different T injectable options

and wanted to hear from the group on if there was a preference between

the different mixes and if anyone could tell any difference between

the different options.

Delatestryl is the brand name for testosterone enanthate.

Depo-Testosterone is the brand name for testosterone cypionate. The

difference is in the organic acid used to create the ester. I can use

them interchangibly with the same dose and injection frequency. I

can't tell any difference. Some might need to adjust their injection

schedule by a day or so. Or perhaps the dose very slightly. I have

no preference but when I see others expressing a preference it is

usually for cypionate.

I also have done them all and find that shots 150 mgs. every week of Depo T and

500 IU's of Hcg 3 times a week are the best I have done.
