They were both injecting the same amount but they will most likely have different testosterone levels Even though they are injecting the same amount. You will then adjust their testosterone dosage based on their free testosterone levels and most importantly their symptoms.
Now the cream works the same way. Let’s say you have the same two men and you have them both apply 100 mg of testosterone cream twice daily. Once again you know exactly how much you are applying but more than likely they will both have different levels of free testosterone. You will then make an adjustment on the dosage based on those levels and most importantly their symptoms.
So whether it be injections or cream. One starts with a specific dosage of either one and then will adjust that dosage based on the free testosterone levels and most importantly symptomatic improvement.
Mark has a great deal of insight on testosterone and its benefits. He understands more than most the significant beneficial effects that testosterone has on multiple organ systems and the fact that there is a dose-response relationship. Meaning, the better the dose, the better the levels, the better the benefits.
