Experiments with transdermal hormones

@wester130 Have you seen the COA.... look at the font differences, the low resolution of the document but the high resolution of the text and the misalignment of the text. Someone has clearly edited it, in order to fake the COA for this "DHT heptanoate"

There is no commercially produced DHT enanthate apparently

The AlphaGel guy might be looking to source/produce it though.

@gloryus AlphaGels claims to sell a DHT gel at concentrations that simply don’t make sense chemically. They state their gel contains 200mg of DHT per ml in an ethanol-based solution with carbomer and isopropyl myristate for consistency.
However, the science doesn’t add up. DHT only dissolves in ethanol at a maximum of 50mg per ml, so achieving a concentration four times higher than that is impossible. To put this in perspective, pharmaceutical DHT gels like Andactrim contain just 25mg of DHT per ml, while testosterone gels such as Androgel only manage 16.2mg per ml. These numbers reflect the natural limits of how much androgen can dissolve in an ethanol-based gel.
Given this, AlphaGels’ claims seem highly questionable. Without clear evidence or independent lab tests to back their formulation, it’s hard to take their product seriously. As a rule of thumb, be vary suspicious of underground steroid labs.

I still can't get a good explanation for what good effect people think exogeneous DHT has. A large, large portion of it is converted into estrogens 3α-androstanediol and 3β-androstanediol, which bind to both ERα and ERβ, to the latter with better affinity, and does not bind to androgen receptors. The enzymes that convert DHT to these hormones are 3α-HSD and 3β-HSD and are abundant in the liver, skin, muscle and brain and are metabolizing all of that DHT you're putting into your blood. In the brain, 3α-androstanediol is responsible for the pro-GABA effects and 3β-androstanediol for the anxiolytic effects and also the regulation of hormone production through (the suppression of) the HPTA.
If you want DHT's effects in the muscle you need to take something artificial that can't be 3β-HSD reduced, like anavar.
Otherwise, with DHT being a paracrine hormone in tissues where it has an important effect, it seems better to supplement with the pro-hormone (T) and support 5α-reductase production.

I have the patent for DHT valerate synthesis. Maybe I’ll source stanolone from PPL and add the ester myself.

lol. nice job.
Comparing it to a PPL test report makes me feel confident in PPL.

I was planning to make my own solutions, but since PPL still isn't restocking the DHT (and I want to order everything at once) im just gonna start using what I bought from alphagels.
I have transdermal testosterone, "200mg/ml" from them. I asked for the non DMSO version as I was advised by a great friend on here. It still leaves my skin itchy and puffed up (which is why I wanted to make my own solutions). I cant imagine putting this on my balls lol. Also it smells like tomato soup....
I don't see any crystals inside the bottle but there are cyrstals on the outside. It seems to me that the the sealing isnt the best with these and some of the solution makes it outside. What could it mean if there are crystals outside but not inside the bottle?

I know theres several similar recipes already out there but this works great for me:
Test no ester 5%
Ethanol 96° 47,5%
IPM 28,5%
Propylene Glycol 19%
All measured by weight.
I assume around 25% absorbtion in armpits(or scrotum) and mainly go by feeling for dosing, treat symptoms and not numbers, mostly 0,5 to1 ml, so between 50 to 100mg test, so between 12 and 25 mg test absorbed.
Only AM and noon dosing to not supress LH/FSH during the night, this works because of the short halflife.
Great to combine with low dose masteron or proviron.
Added in preg50mg (and now tried adding 25mg dhea to see how that feels) and progesteron only when I'm stressed.
No suppression for me on this protocol when looking at ballsize, mood, energy and libido.
This is by far not bodybuilding dosing but i gain and maintain muscle easily with 1x weights and 1x squash a week. -
@laoa Seems like a great recipe thanks for sharing

@alfredoolivas
Thank you
Actually I think theres room for improvement still. 10% ipm might be safer and almost just as effective for lipid disruption in the skin. I'd have to think about what to replace it with.
