I was asked to keep you informed as to my progress on androlsol. I just finished two weeks of using the stuff. I sprayed between 50 and 70 sprays twice a day. All the claims they made did not come true for me. No sense of well being, no increase in sex drive, and no noticable difference in appearance. I worked out hard and ate right throughout it all.

I have a friend who just completed this stuff at the maximum dosage. He actually lost weight on it and felt tired and sluggish. Plus his skin broke out and got red and sore. We should write in to the FDA on the dangers of this stuff. Oh I forgot--it feels like Dianabol! (sarcasm) IP: Logged |

I tried the stuff also it doesnt work the only thing that kinda works is tribex from biotest, but twinlabs brand of tribulus seemed to work just as good. I have tried other andro products and even though they didnt work that great i did feel a bit more agressive, nothing at all with this spray. All i got was sticky skin and i am out 60 bucks. I even called Biotest and they told me i should see results with in a week......? IP: Logged |

I just went to the mesomorphosis.com message board for the first time today, and Biotest is going down in flames over there as well. Why is this all coming out now, at the same time? Those of you guys who have posted negatively about Biotest, can you HONESTLY say that you had bad experiences with the company? I am in no way trying to discredit anybody. I just want to make this is not a case of someone yelling 'fire'. To be quite honest with all of you, I have never used their products, and therefore cannot make any claims either way. Yet, I find it extremely disappointing that Poliquin et al are out to scam people, just like all the other snake-oil salesmen out there. IP: Logged |

I think the Biotest bashing really started when Tim Patterson from T Mag was telling everybody that he GAINED 12 POUNDS OF MUSCLE IN 14 DAYS while using Androsol and everybody should gain at least 8-10 pounds. That was simply to much bullshit and a lot of people who had swallowed the Biotest pill in the past started to voice their opinions. I am one of them. TestoMan IP: Logged |

I have heard about many people who have gotten no results from using any of their products. Some have even gotten bad results such as high cholesterol from the methoxy-7 and a rash from the MD6. I think many of them are having a hard time getting a refund. There is a boycott and Biotest and Muscletech's products right now and I would urge you to join in on this. We do not need to support companies that scam the public and lie and defraud. This I can honestly say IP: Logged |

Just read the latest T-mag edition (No.111). They claim that Androsol has a 97% success rate! They write that 97 out of 100 Androsol users are in utter disbelief about the phenomenal gains they make. In REAL LIFE, you can't even duplicate such a success rate with steroids. I guess if you ask 100 D-bol or Anadrol users you will always find a couple of poor bastards who didn't get any results. And I am not talking about fake steroids. I guess this makes Androsol the most potent anabolic agent EVER developed. What a bunch a bull. TestoMan IP: Logged |

I believe it has 4-androstenediol and alcohol. A buddy of mine used it and got red, rashy skin all over his body from using it. Imagine putting alcohol all over your body everyday--especially on sensitive skin. Use your common sense when you look at stuff like this. Also I urge you to join the boycott on Biotest and Muscletech's products for producing inferior and potentially harmful products and using fraudulent advertising. IP: Logged |

Androsol consists of 4-AD (4-androstenediol) and a topical adhesive containing alcohol. Androsol is applied twice daily, and each application must remain on the skin for twelve full hours. Heavy usage requires two 500 mg applications daily (1 gr total). Light usage requires two 200 mg applications daily (400 mg total). As you probably well know by now, Biotest is controversial here. Androsol is one of their products that has worked well for me; less than its hype, but better than expectations. I'm 46 and have never used anything stronger than Androsol. I suspect that results are dependent on age and other "products" used. Good luck. IP: Logged |

I appreciate people not wanting others to slam on copanys they never used, and I agree. But buy the same token I will be out spoken because I have used these products and feel I was lied to and believe there promotions are right out lies. I feel they know there promotions are false and they dont care because its next to impossable for them to get into serious trouble with the government due to the industry there in. This is a troubled spot in this industry and needs to be rectified for the industry to grow beyond its boundries. My $.02 ...like it or not. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hallelujah! How refreshing it is to find some real info on all this crap I've been reading about and wasting my money on. OBTW, I just started using Nortesten last night. Good thing I only bought the 56 caps instead of the 112. The only product I have found worth my money is Thermadrene. My workouts ROCK with this stuff. And I was actually considering buying the ZMA and the Androsol too. Not to worry though, they did get my $29.95 for a subscription to T-Mag, a free T-shirt, and a poster.

Bro, for goodness sake man stop wasting your money on these crappy supplements. As far as testosterone.net being a good magazine, I beg to differ. It is riddled with misinformation designed to sell their products. You could argue that Muscletech is ok because it is in cahoots with a "good" magazine (musclemag) too but that is not the arguement. I prefer not to be lied to and cheated and that is exactly what they do. IP: Logged |

Bro's, I've gotten a pretty good effects from Androsol. Put on about 7 pounds in a month, weights are up by 10 to 20 pounds in all my lifts except legs, which I've not been pushing too hard because of back problem. No Biotest guy here, just a satisfied customer and newbie to the board. Also, I'm a 49 year old geek who's never used "real gear," so maybe that's the difference between me and some of the bro's who've seen no gains with this stuff. They might just be too drug tolerant or habituated to show any sensitivity to this stuff On the other hand, could all be a giant placebo effect from sissy shit for all I know, but read the tmag copy, and you'll see that the gains they tout are made when you take "twice the dose" on the label. THAT MIGHT BE IMPORTANT. Bjaarki IP: Logged |

Get real buddy, I can count the number of studies Biotest has funded on one hand. All their supplements are sold based on non-clinical evidence, and half of them based purely on theory. Not anywhere have I seen an independant study show Biotest products work. Even their own ACSM studies were half assed. I know you're a bit naive and like to think that Biotest is good and guys like EAS and Muscletech are bad, but wake up and grab a clue. At least with Muscletech's mag you can look at hot chicks and they use real pictures and real athletes. I don't think I've ever seen one training shot of Tim Patterson OR TC Luoma. How sad is that? Those two are the type of guys you see at the gym with a newspaper on the leg press machine... IP: Logged |

Bjaarki - your experience with Androsol is very similar to mine - I wrote my first two week cycle up in an earlier thread called "Biotest Androsol" started by The Punisher - last posting June 25, 2000 4:54 PM. I'm curious as to your daily dosage. Did you use 70 sprays x 2 for a 140 spray daily total, or did you use 140 x 2 for a 280 spray daily total? Did you stop at 2 weeks or continue longer? Did you add Tribex-500 in the second week? IP: Logged |

JimgymLB: I use Androsol x4/day. Usually about 75 sprays per application. I cover my whole body, and put a lot on my balls and perineum, where the skin is thinnest. Burns at first, but you'll get over it. I also keep my skin very clean and dry, so the application will work well through transdermal penetration. If I shower after a workout, I scrub my skin hard with a loofa sponge then reapply Androsol, even if it's only been a few hours since the prior application. Started Androsol about 30 days ago, and am going to continue until I head out on vacation in a couple of weeks. For the first two weeks I used the label directions (70 sprays x2/day), didn't see much, then started making gains when I jumped the dosage. This is probably the same situation as with guys who use real gear; no effects at lower doses, more at higher doses. Thing with Androsol, though, is that it's LEGAL. As I said, I've put on about 7 pounds, pretty much all of it LBM I think, and have definitely seen an improvement in my lifts. I'm an old guy, and not very strong to begin with, especially with bad shoulders and a weak chest, but I've seen my preacher curls go from 95 to 105, my Arnold presses go from 45 to 55 pound bells, bench go from 70 to 80 pound bells, etc.. I'm pretty pleased, and look both fuller and harder in the mirror. BTW, I've responded well in the past only to very high doses of oral prohormones like norandrodiol (up to 1.5g/day), so I suspected the Androsol would benefit me, and ordered 10 bottles right out of the gate, at about $25/per at one of the web sites. That has let me feel I don't have to conserve it very carefully, and I've been able to experiment with these higher applications. Hope this helps. Bjaarki ------------------ IP: Logged |

To respond to "The Dude's" suggestion that I am a Biotest employee, I am not. I just think their webzine has info that helps me be informed and yes, even if you don't want to hear it, they are becoming very big on the supp scene, somewhat due in part to all the bad mouthing (free advertising) they get from individuals on the boards. I read the other day that their sales are WAY UP since some of the bros started dissing Androsol, etc. All this boycott talk etc seems to only be helping Biotest. Human behavior is interesting.

OK--yesterday I finished 2 weeks of Androsol use at 70 sprays twice a day, with no changes to diet or training. I was very skeptical of another prohormone product, but gave it a try anyway. I used the same scale on an empty stomach trying to be sure I got an accurate body weight measurement. Well, I gotta tell you I was surprised when the scale said I was up 5 lbs. Now I know its not fat weight and my level of hydration was no different from when I started the Androsol, so its not all water weight. As much as some people will hate to hear this.....Androsol worked for me--5lbs of lean mass in 2 weeks ain't bad. Some will say that they could gain 5lbs in 2 weeks just eating, but that's not the case with me. Gaining weight is damn hard for me. I have to work real hard for lean mass gains. This is not a plug for that product, but an honest report of my experience for whatever its worth. Since I had not gained any weight in a good while, I'm very pleased with the lean mass gain. Personally I had no undesireable side effects either. A little dry skin from the alcohol, but that's it. IP: Logged |
