I'm not even an advocate of it for hormone replacement therapy. The efficiency of delivery is very poor. I would guess that only about 5-10% of the dose ever actually reaches circulation. For a "cycle" it has no use and there is no possible way to get enough T into your blood to induce a hyper-anabolic effect unless you litterally bathed in the gel. It is more or less a marketing gimmick. You don't like shots?...Well, you're in luck!...We can SELL you a gel. Yes, it is about money in the pharmecuetical business so companies have to get creative with marketing just like any other business.
