RE: {SPAM?} absorbtion

[Guest guest]

1) I read that you shouldn't apply Androgel to your scrotum because it

increases the uptake rate to where the dose could be dangerously high. So if

you want to get it to ramp up quickly, you could add a drop down there while

keeping most of it in the recommended areas. But seems like a bad idea.

2) I believe that the idea is to smooth out the absorption rate so

that you get a smooth peak and slow decline, not a spike which would make

you feel lousy later in the day.

3) I think the absorption rate is supposed to be slow so that you put

it on in the morning and get the benefit all day, and the low occurs while

you are asleep.

How can one inscrease the absorbation rate of androgel.

from past notes we know that rubbing it in helps alot.

What I want to know is if there is anything you can do to prep the

areas before rubbing it in.

Ideas have not tried them yet.

Using a lufa to exfoliate the area then apply the gel.

Another thought is to use a menthol based muscle cream to draw more

blood to the area, let it dry then apply the androgel.

Would heat help? use a heating pad or hot damp towel to heat the

area opening up the pours?

how bout shaving, even where no visible hair? which might cause

small razor cuts or at least loosen up the top skin.

I know it says to store at room temp, but would heating the packet

in warm water do anything, positive?

-------------------

According to the lit on both Androgel and Testim they both state a

10% absorbtion rate. Would love to hear from people who tried both.

It also builds up in you body and will last up to 5 days.
