TESTOGEL Vs TOSTRAN

Member
I have used the search button but to no avail

Current protocol is 1 sachet of testogel a day it's not really been working out to great so endo suggests switching to tostran 4 pumps a day which is a lower dose than the testogel

Just looking for people's feedback on the two or studies etc etc

Thanks

I can't comment on the relative efficacy of either, but may I ask if you and your doctor have discussed injecting testosterone? It's a sad fact, but many men (I m one of them) simply don't absorb topical preparations of testosterone.
 
On our first meet we did discuss injection. It's what I would prefer but I am open to letting him try ! I went from natural 8.6 tov10.1 with testogel then down to 8.2. last bloods said 27 but that was taken 2 hours after application in same area gel was so I am not counting that ! He has asked to try tostran for 1 month. If no improvement I am going to ask for shots
 
I know most men seem to do better will injections, much easier way to control your levels and no testosterone spreading to your loved ones.

I will be astonished if at this point, after the amount of time you've given to topicals, you see a significant change for the better.

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.
