I can't afford to start the test cyp shots from an anti-aging clinic just yet but will be soon. In the meantime I have asked my doc to send my script to a compounding pharmacy to concentrate it so that I don't have to spread androgel of such a large area. A safety precaution for my family. They made me a concentrated cream at 1/5 the volume of the packet of gel with the same dose of T. It is in a cream called Testosterone Versabase and I am to apply one ml per day. Does anyone do this and has it lowered or raised your total levels at all? From some searches I have done people seemed pleased with the absorption rates vs commercial gels.
