question from a user

I’ve read that subq tends to aromatize more due to conversion in fat. Is that true?

AlphaMD's Answer

No, it is not truly. In almost all cases it causes overall less aromatization to occur because that action is in response to when your body detects T spikes. Since it absorbs slower via subq than IM, the spikes are reduced and the chance for the to happen is reduced or avoided. In cases where someone is taking T for steroid use & dosing incredibly high, meaning they'd always be spiking, this may have some merit but not for traditional TRT.
