[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 233299, member: 38109"] Transdermal products have the potential to provide reasonable daily variation in serum testosterone. There seems to be a fair bit of inter-individual variability in this. Some study data show fairly flat levels over 24 hours, while individuals have reported low levels after 12 hours. Absorption issues and excessive DHT production are enough of a deterrent for me to avoid this form of TRT. It can take some work to dial in a propionate blend if you want to be fastidious about it. I started with frequent injections of longer esters, cypionate or enanthate. These let me calculate the response of free testosterone to dose. Next I used various doses of propionate alone, measuring some peak and trough values. These let me estimate the variability in serum levels provided by propionate. With this information I could predict what I would experience with propionate blends. In actuality the average guy doesn't need this level of detail. Instead he could just hop on a default formulation of 4 parts cypionate to 3 parts propionate. After measuring some peak and trough serum levels he'd adjust the dose and ester ratio as needed.
