question from a user
I’m already splitting HCG & test doses into 3x/week injections, IM test and SubQ HCG. Which one were you referring to when you suggest switching to SubQ?
AlphaMD's Answer
Your Testosterone specifically for Subq. Testosterone is absorbed slower via subq than IM, resulting in an overall more even level & lower Testosterone spike which is what normally causes the body to trigger an aromatase response. I'd say 90% of our patients use subq for this exact reason (and the size of needles).
SQ test has steadier and better absorption in most men.
