Experiments with transdermal hormones
-
@wester130 I have some IPM and MCT oil, just need to get some Everclear. I think the most I can get is 95% alcohol. I would like to experiment with that, but I figure if DMSO didn't give me any perceptible effects, Everclear and IPM might not be worth it.
I am thinking of trying to source some dutasteride and give that a try with the T. I don't want the DHT conversion that oral / transdermal gives.

@Crypt-Keeper are you joking?? dutasteride?
DMSO is dangerous anyway and does not necessarily increase absorption
IPM increases absorption by 11 times,

So for the past month ive been experimenting with figuring out the maximum solubility of DHT in ethanol. For me DMSO is not an option for me so ethanol is the next best thing.
Using 99% undenatured ethanol, i was able to achieve up to 70mg/ml. 75mg/ml did not dissolve, twice.
With the 70gm/ml solution i tried 2%, 5% and 10% IPM, and a mix of IPM and tocopherol of 5% total, each being around 2.5%, which brings the total concentration down to 50-53mg/ml.The best by far is the tocopherol and IPM mixture. Leaves minimal to non existent powder line after it dries, has the slowest evaporation of all and is very pleasant to the skin. The IPM only solutions, especially the 2% leaves a very noticeable trace line of powder at the edges of where the liquid was applied, after evaporating.
The only caveats regarding the max solubility is that my ethanol measurement wasnt accurate enough and was maybe off by +- 1-2ml. I used a kitchen scale to measure the equivalent weight in grams and then poured it into a beaker which confirmed the total volume, but none was super accurate so ill try again with a more accurate measuring tool like a pipette.
However im fairly confident that 100mg/ml is not achievable, and i know for a fact 200mg/ml is not. Im saying this because theres someone on the black market selling 10% and 20% DHT gel, and he offers a non DMSO option which he uses ethanol for. I dont know the max solubility of DHT in DMSO, but if you got any of the non DMSO gels, you probably got scammed.

@pannacottas what effects are you noticing?
From my understanding - DHT basically does nothing. It's testosterone that gives the effect
-
@wester130 With DHT you dont "feel" anything immediate, it is afterwards that you notice things like improved cognition, calmness, decrease in libido, ability to think clearly, decreased aggression, more outgoing, and generally ape mode, in the sense that you dgaf and eg. can overtake cars easily (Landshark talked about this). At least thats my experience with it
Imo most, if not all of the benefits of T are from the conversion to DHT. The reason that ppl feel T when taking it, is likely from some aromatization thats happening which causes a mild excitatory effect, but is accompanied with T and DHT so it's balanced. DHT lacks that effect as it's non-aromatizable.

@wester130 With DHT in DMSO my estrogen gets to very low levels, so my libido, mood etc is tanked. I did not liked it at all. Transdermal test is much better since its boost test, estrogen and DHT all at once.

fascinating article about dht
should we take this instead?

@pannacottas thanks

I have created a solution of
25mg Tren
25mg Test
5mg Progesterone
5mg DHEA
5mg ExemestanePer ml
I used DMSO & Coconut Oil in about a 90:10 ratio. This is mostly to stop the stinging/skin irritation from pure DMSO. They don't mix great so you need to shake before use. I would have preferred to use Vitamin E if I had on hand.
It is working great so far. Definitely a lot stronger than my higher T experiments in the past.
I have noticed zero sides from the Tren.
It has been about 4 weeks

I have
vitamin e tocopherol oil
ethyl alcohol
base micronized test powder in my hand.can anyone help me with the recipe of how I can make a transdermal cream out of these?
should I try to get isopropyl myristate as well?
thank you!!
-
@metabolicmilk sounds interesting
-
@yeyo12 using those ingredients I would do
20% IPM
50% alcohol
30% Vitamin EAre you opposed to DMSO?
-
thank you
I have to get some IPMuhh, I've never really tried DMSO myself, but I've seen a lot of users have problem with it and I don't really want to smell -if it does that-
Does it make you smell like garlic?
-
@yeyo12 there was a post on old rpf about how using honey removes the smell. If you want a DMSO formula Id use 70 DMSO : 20 Vit E : 10 honey

@metabolicmilk
What is your goal with this?Which testosterone & DHT bases are good for topical application? (fromPPL)
Also whats the Exemestane for?
-
@metabolicmilk what other results are you getting?
-
@Kilgore anti E

@wester130 grow bigger while losing fat. It's working.i feel like my bones are growing

I put DHT GEL on my Nether-Regions: Insane EQ, Painful B*ners, Masculinity, and SIDE EFFECTS

@metabolicmilk I agree it can have strong health effects. Its interesting how some people here are wondering why so many are interested in DHT here. It has some of the most potent anti stress effects a molecule can have and literally is produced in healthy men. When one gets into a stressfull state testosterone will slowly decline in comparison to DHT which plummits. Its extremely anti estrogenic, pro gaba, anti adrenaline, anti cortisol, anti inflammatory. I think the people who didnt notice anything either needs to improve their health situation abit more first, or wasnt eating nearly enough. I would consume 6-7k calories when I was top health and was completely shredded. In this state my natural test was higher than avarage but my dht was extremely high. Later I started also adding 11-keto dht and androsterone and saw even more benefits. After alot of stress and lack of good food for 1.5 year the thing that helps me recover to my old state faster is not only good food, but also hormones...
