    How to Increase Absorption of Testosterone Gel

    How do you apply the compounded gel cream? When I was using the cream I would rub over and over till the cream almost vanished. Do I do the same with the gel cream or just spread and rub once and let air dry?

    What is the difference between compounded testosterone cream and compounded T gel ?

    I got the alcohol gel/cream yesterday and applied it this morning and when it dried it left residue. Does this mean the dry part is the part that did not absorb?

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
