I am on the max dose right now, 10g per day.

Things I already do to increase absorption:
1. Hot shower
2. Scrub torso with bath scrubber
3. Apply within 2-3 minutes of getting out of the shower

I do 5g morning, 5g evening.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to increase absorption?

I really want to stay on it, but I need to figure out how to boost the absorption !

I recently did TT, free T, and also SHBG for 10g so I will have those results soon.
 
Rotate sites
swtich brands
goto shots

Rub it on azzhole its one of the thinniest layers of skin on the body...

How does "goto shots" help me maximize gel absorption? :mad:

I dont know if you are being serious about the asshole part....
 
Are you joking? Your ass will burn like fire because of the alcohol.

From what I read absorption on the scrotum is 40 times higher because the skin is thin and so on. But I don't know if applying the gel to the scrotum has side effects like higher conversion to DHT.

You could also try training a certain muscle part for example biceps and pumping up those muscles so that there is increased blood flow and then apply the gel to the targeted area. Maybe the increased blood flow would also increase the absorption of the gel.

I am using common physiology to assist you. LOL .. research it !! be surprised what you find.
If women can apply it to their HOO-HA why not to our anal spintcer ?
 
The Androgel insert states that patients increased absorption by applying lotion over the areas approx an hour after applying the gel.

Will not retype the text, but google it.

Hmm not sure about this one.... i apply after a shower so this would be tricky
 
Try rubbing alcohol, Isopropyl will work fine. A friend of mine told me about it about a year ago and it seemed to help me. Just rub enough on to make the skin damp and then apply the gel.

Hmm interesting ! Ok i will try this. Thanks
 
My testosterone came back at almost 1000ng/dl

My free T is near the top of the range as well. My SHBG is ok too.

This means absorption has increased alot since bumping up the gel dose! :)

That's good to hear man! You feeling well?
 
Did you have E2 measured too?

Nah

Im not too concerned about it bc I have had low, medium and high E2 and the only difference is i feel a bit bloated at high. And some anxiety.

Both which i dont feel right now. So I dont think its relevant :confused:

The best metric is how you feel. I never had E2 issues on androgel until I upped dose. E2 can be very relevant on how you feel; high E2 sux!

I got to 1800 total tertosterone on 10 g/day (no kidding!!) and it was then that E2 became an issue. I never used armidex until this. I dropped my dose to 5 g/day followed by 7.5 g/day etc. E2 can still bed an issue from time to time so I use armidex sparingly but I di use it once/twice/month. I don't like the stuff but it does help.

If androgel doesn't increase your libido I would be surprised! Putting a little up the inner thigh and on the scrotum is a good idea imo!! Worked for me for 6 + years.
 
Tyler, What you have with a gel is essentially unesterfied testosterone with a delivery method to get it in the skin. Testosterone by its self is pretty worthless for absorption. I think you could even eat raw powder and not absorb that much. So it has to be delivered directly to the blood is the deal. Its been a long time since I looked at any formulas to make creams or gels, but primarily the alcohol in the gel is the delivery catalyst to get it in the skin. What HAN said is technically correct, but consider - even if you squirted it right up yur arse, once the alcohol is uptaked by blood vessels, I think you are pretty much gonna shit the rest out. So hmmm. STILL, the idea is to create a deposit in skin. Not put it straight in the blood.

MOB has a point, but really I would think that to go back thirty minutes post application with some alcohol and rub the same area would be more effective. To apply a pre-rub that would be effective, would be to apply something that would dialate or open up circulation in the skin. Keep in mind that whatever goes straight into blood and does not lodge in the skin is nothing more that a potential estrogen fest from an overdose that will be immediately metabolized out of the body if not uptaked by receptors. So the trick is making the DEPOT in the skin. NOT necessarily "absorbing it", but getting it to stay put. And skin is only so thick, so the issue is that there is just only so much you can get in there. HANs point to rotate is good, but also to spread over as large an area as possible.. Watchout for the kiddies, nephew, and others.. Keep in mind that alcohol is going to have a CATCH-22 effect as it dries out the skin at the same time. Perhaps apply a good lotion every day two hours after gel application to replentish.

Personally, I would think that perhaps GLYCERIN could be a tool here. This dialates vessels ( I think). I am pretty sure those little laxitive ass supositories are mostly glycerin. So actually for you Pre and Post rub down, have a concoction of alcohol and glycerin prepared. I would not doubt if glycerin is not already in the gels. I really never looked that close in past reads. But I would think you would need another vehicle in the post rub to keep from just wiping the remaining testosterone right off with plain alcohol. I still suspect its all sensless overkill which any additional is just gonna get ELIMINATED almost instantly

Perhaps Collagen inducing vitamins could help get the skin to hold more? I am thinking Biotin....?

And dont go nutty with the rubbing alcohol. You are absorbing a small amount which can add up and the body can not metabolize that stuff very well. The Liver dont like it....:)

And just after all this analysis in my head. The bottom line is the best way to induce top results, which is good skin retention of max amounts of T from gel is going to be to break you daily dose up in say 3 applications instead of one and rotate sites every time. Apply good lotion 30 mins after each application. Take a Biotin supplement. Drink your milk (Vit D too) and eat right. And dont touch any children while yur still stinking of rubbing alcohol. For good measure, go ahead and rub it on your girlfriends clit too, but stop when it starts to develop of litte head... LOL & JK..

Wait a minute. If they can grow a monster clit from SynT, why cant we enlarge out cocks?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes::confused:
