[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 235883, member: 38109"] There's only one kind of testosterone, but perhaps you're asking if it has an ester attached in the Natesto product. The answer is no; it is pure testosterone. HPTA shutdown is reduced in part by the limited number of applications, but more importantly by the short duration of action. After an application, serum testosterone peaks within an hour and then drops relatively quickly, allowing significant time at lower levels before the next dose. Transdermal products cause more HPTA suppression due to considerably longer half-lives. The skin acts as a reservoir for testosterone, releasing it slowly over many hours. Thus serum testosterone levels remain too high for too long to allow normal HPTA function. Empower Pharmacy offers a testosterone nasal gel product that's supposed to be similar to Natesto and is less expensive. You should investigate this option. Currently the nasal gels are the only testosterone products known to minimize HPTA suppression. [/QUOTE]
