Trial at U-Health found that intranasal testosterone gel led to blood not thickening (nearly) at all vs Injectable which was led to definite blood thickening.

thoughts on this?

Apparently intranasal treatment is used 2-3x a day

Natesto et al horrible bodybuilding drug but great for TRT.


The Natesto arm did 33 mg/day. Looks like those pulses are useful to keep HCT down instead of more stable IM method.
 
I did the troches for a little bit which should be quite similar to the Nasal gel in terms of serum levels. But I got so addicted to IM/SQ test preparations that I wish I would have started with the nasal gel or troches for TRT after doing HCG mono first.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
