question from a user

My current level has rebounded to 550. In December, it was 400 and I'm assuming at the end of the marathon season it was 200 or less. I might just look into one of the alternatives you mentioned. However, if I decided on a low TRT dose, would the cream/gel or injection be preferable for this purpose?

AlphaMD's Answer

For Testosterone, injections are much better than creams and gels. They are more consistent, potent, accurate, take less time investment, and generally cost way less.

For a lot of people the idea of injections can be a bit troubling, but it's really 10 minutes twice a week at the same exact known dose. For creams/gels you need to set aside time every day where you wont be sweating, rubbing it off, and ensuring your scrotum has the same coverage/dose. That can sometimes be hard if you're tight on time or live in a warm environment.
