I have a 5% testosterone cream (compared to Androgel's 1%.)
It is intended for use on the testicles, but there is no way in hell that I will ever apply something like this to my balls.
It contains 50mg/g of testosterone.
Is anyone here smart enough to do the math to figure out how to use this on the wrist to get the same effect as a 5g dose of Androgel?
Off the top of my head:
5g of 1% testosterone = 1g of 5% testosterone
- Androgel packet: 50mg total testosterone in 5g gel. 10% absorption over 24 hr.
- Andromel gel: 50mg total testosterone in 1g cream. ??% absorption over 24 hr.
- 1 gram of water = approx. 1/4 tsp.
Therefore, 1/4 tsp. of this cream will equal a 5g packet of Androgel.
