    How long do testosterone esters actually last in storage?

    I've seen some people say a decade. Others I've seen say just 2 years. How long does the substance last if i were to store it? Is it the same for enanthate, cypionate etc? Where can I find reliable info on this? What about the powder form? Important.

    Bioavailable vs Free Testosterone

    Quest labs provided me with both a Free and Bioavailable testosterone level. All my last labs just provide Free not bio. I have seen these terms bio and free used interchangeably a lot but they are obviously different. What’s the main difference? and which is more meaningful for TRT purposes ?

    Which type of insulin needle do I buy?

    I have been injecting via subcutaneous injections. The insulin needles that I use are very small which takes a very long time to draw the testosterone. Can you tell me exactly what gauge and length of insulin needle I need to buy to streamline that process.

    what is the 2 % of Total Test

    I'm understanding that let SHBG alone, free testosterone should be 2% of total, how do we calculate that? let's say Total Test is 800 ng/dl and FT is in pg/ml? 800 x 0,02 = 16?
