Why are companies still packaging testosterone with administration guidelines of once every 2-3 weeks? With all the latest data on that protocol being fairly ineffective, surely they could change their recommended administration so even doctors who are not up with the research could follow...

Hi all, Small rant to start!!! I have listened to the TOT podcast for a long time and pay attention to the doctors round table as it is an incredible resource on all things TOT related. I have also listened to Jay in the past say he has tried creams before and gone back to shots because they...
