[QUOTE="madman, post: 187872, member: 13851"] With standard body application absorption will be 9-14% at best. Using a loofah in the shower to scrub off dead skin cells and applying a moisturizer once the skin is dried before using the gel can help. The gel formulations contain ethanol, which acts as a solvent for testosterone and helps its penetration through the skin (stratum corneum). Doubtful using DMSO would increase the absorption to any significant degree and even then you would only be using 50 mg gel which is 5 mg testosterone and in many cases is not a high enough dose of T to achieve higher end TT/FT levels. Most men using the big pharma transdermal gels end up needing 10mg/day to achieve higher T levels. One surefire way to increase the absorption significantly would be through the scrotal application but unfortunately, you would need a cream base. Absorption through the scrotal application is greater due not only to the thinnest stratum corneum, but it also has high steroid permeability much greater than non‐scrotal skin let alone scrotal skin is highly vascularized which will result in rapid absorption. Your best bet would be to look into finding a doctor that will prescribe injectable esterified T. [/QUOTE]
