1) If this is a true statement then isn't the best delivery method transdermal? Injections do not mimic the circadian pattern.
2) Normal testosterone levels can usually be reached within a few weeks by using a low dose transdermal cream mixed by a compounding pharmacy to contain about 25 to 50 mg of testosterone per dose. Typically, only about ten percent of the dose is absorbed into the blood, so this will yield about 2.5 to 5 mg of testosterone per day.
3) The normal range for total testosterone for a male is about 280-1100 ng/dl with the higher limit for young men. Reference ranges for testosterone are often grouped by age and can vary slightly between laboratories. A normal level for free testosterone is between 1.5 to 2.9 percent of the total value, again with the higher limit for young men. Consider supplementing if your free testosterone is on the low side and you are having symptoms, even if your total testosterone level is normal. This is particularly true if you are older than sixty. The determinant should be how you feel—not just the laboratory value.
One interesting thing about testosterone values is that the high limit of normal for a man over sixty is more than 30 percent below that of a forty year old. This may be obsolete. Many experts consider that values for young men are also valid for older men.
