[QUOTE="madman, post: 198566, member: 13851"] Regarding big pharma, generic or compounded injectable T there is no secret recipe as they are all manufactured with: - an [B][I]esterified T (prodrug)[/I] [/B]whether (undecanoate/cypionate/enanthate/propionate/ or mixed esters) - a [B][I]carrier oil (vehiculum)[/I] [/B]such as (sesame, cottonseed, castor, peanut, grapeseed) - an [B][I]excipient[/I][/B] such as: [B][I]BENZYL ALCOHOL[/I][/B] • Solubility enhancer • Oil viscosity reducer • Local anesthetic • Preservative [I][B]BENZYL BENZOATE[/B][/I] • Solubility enhancer • Solvent [B][I]ETHANOL [/I][/B]• Solvent [B][I]CHLOROBUTANOL[/I][/B] • Preservative Nothing more.....nothing less! Has absolutely nothing to do with the carrier oil (vehiculum) used. Top it off that the amount of oil being injected whether once weekly, twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD, or daily is minuscule. Most on trt are injecting anywhere from 100-200 mg/week using 200 mg/mL strength. I would be much more concerned with where my SHBG sits and what FT level is achieved on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency).
