    Underdosed generic Perrigo Test Cyp?

    I had the same issue with Perrigo a few years ago. If I recall correctly, I posted my experience here or somewhere else. The members were not believing me because they said there's no way a huge pharma company will under dose but I know my body. It turned out my labs proved my assumptions. I do...

    B12, thyroid, and best calcium supplement

    My vitamin d levels are low for my taste. They are at 40 (consuming 11,000 iu's daily) they are usually between 70 to 80. I am currently taking 14,000 iu's daily with k2 mk7 120mcg and 5 mg k2 mk4. I will also be checking my vit d levels. Hopefully this fixes my low calcium problem. I though...

    B12, thyroid, and best calcium supplement

    How's it going everyone? I have 2 concerns. I want to double check my knowledge. My first understanding is that vitamin b12 does not interfere with thyroid testing - only biotin does. Is this true or should all b vitamins be avoided to have accurate thyroid testing? Secondly, I currently have...

    3 months on Hydrogel Testosterone

    My issue was blow drying it. Like the pharmacist told me it's best to let it air dry. I have noticed that I don't get the white film that I was getting when blow drying it. I am assuming it is now penetrating.

    I didn't think about it being absorbed a lot more by spreading it on a larger area.

    3 months on Hydrogel Testosterone

    If I do decided to try the commercial brand I will definitely report back. The members who said heat from the blow dryer might affect the penetration were correct. I decided to verify with Empower and one of the pharmacist who prepares this medication said that it's best to let it dry. She...

    3 months on Hydrogel Testosterone

    I hope my insurance covers it or least some it. I decided to start with Hydrogel because it had great results. My doctor was on board with the change since I wanted to increase libido.

    3 months on Hydrogel Testosterone

    I have decided to let it air dry. You also bring up a good point about starting with a high concentration and then going to a lower one. About 10 years ago I was using Axiron on my armpits. With four pumps of it my total testosterone rose to 450. or so. I also use pregnenolone from empower...
