    Compounding Test cream

    I am 28 years old and I had blood work done and my test levels came back at 277.My doctor prescribed me a compounding test cream 100mgs and said to rub it in on my inner thigh once a day.I am into my first week and I just want to know if anyone else knows anything about this stuff.

    It can work well .. I ask because most peeps prefer injections( due to the difference in absorption rate).. But since you have never used any steroids you will probably prefer the transdermal .. I am on injectable test cypionate ( 100 mg ) per week .. Prescribed by my Doc ( Endocrinologist ) ..

    Are your goals to just increase your test levels ?? Or do you workout and are looking to put on muscle ??

    Also make sure to get your bloodwork done as per your Doc says ( check your estrogen levels also ) ..

    Heres is a link to my bloodwork sticky if you wanna check it out ( its a long read but has tons of info) .... ALL you need to know about bloodwork

    I wouldn't mind getting shots at all but I am really not sured if my doc would go for that and iam going to lift for mass when my test levels are right again.I have heard the absortion rate sucks for the cream.

    Yes it is very low ( absorption rate)... About 30 to 40 % .. If the product you are using is made with a Lecithin based organogel transdermal carrier ( like phlojel ) ..

    If not the absorption is much less ..

    I sit there for thirty minutes after I rub it in to make sure it absorbs the properly.the doctor said it is gradual thing and the longer you take the better it gets.

    welcome bro

    all good advice above...

    question...what made you go check your test at age 28 and if you could please list stats and goals

    answering your question..just like merc...said...creams and gels have helped some well...with you mentioning desiring mass...you may want injections one day soon....the creams and gels get tiring and time consuming....like you said you wait 30 min every day before beginning anything

    good luck...
