Androstenedione/diol

[Pityocamptes]

I am new to this forum (other weight lifting forum could never answer any questions). I was wondering if it is possible to break open Andro capsules and mix the contents with DMSO for absorption through the skin. I've read that oral Andro is not as effective as those that are done topically. Would this setup work? Would it be safe? Would it be more effective than just simply taking it orally? Any advice appreciated. Thanks - Shawn.

I went on JAMA's website and did a search about androstendione. The scientist (from ISU) concluded that it did not raise test levels in the blood. He gave the subjects andro at different times of the day and drew blood at various times of the day and night and not one subject had a raise in test levels. And he did give larger than recommended doses. I'd say don't waste your money on andro.

Why would you want to do that? Biotest has designed a product named Androsol to do just that.

Rock...both are diol versions, and do produce results...

One last thing to add- androstendione is a precursor to test, in fact only 1 metabolic step away. The problem is, just because you put more andro in your body doesn't mean your body will convert any or all of it to test.

4Diol has anabolic properties of its own, it doesn't need to be converted to test....

The 4-AD capsules would have a bunch of filler that would interfere with absorption (hard to say how much). It would probably be cheaper to buy a pre-made product anyway.

stick to the diols don't go near the diones they are guaranteed to turn you into a bitch.

If you want you can crack open the capsules and mix the solution with a teaspoon of flax oil it seems to help with absorbtion, I learnt this thru experimentation.

try it I think you'll agree.
