Firstly, it is worth starting with the fact that testosterone in the human body when it enters the blood is converted into several other hormones, namely estradiol (E2) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which means that part of testosterone turning into these two hormones directly reduces the level of the most common testosterone in the blood. The higher the conversion process to estradiol and DHT, the lower the testosterone level. Usually, aromatase inhibitors are used to prevent excessive conversion of testosterone to E2 during the cycle, and finasteride is used to reduce conversion to dihydrotestosterone. If during a cycle using testosterone you do not use aromatase inhibitors and 5 alpha reductase, then your testosterone level will initially be lower than it could be. This should always be taken into account if you want to check the level of testosterone in the blood and compare it with the previous level.
We wrote from the very beginning that your blood tests are not indicators of the effectiveness of the product, they might rise interest of your doctor, however it defines the minimum about the quality of the drug. Let me explain why.
Let's take a look at a study in which the ideal drug testosterone was provide for people and their blood levels were measured. And as you can see at its peak, 500 mg of testosterone in many people gives slightly higher than natural values. Despite the fact that there are people whose values jump 2 times from 250 mg (basic medical dose)!
For 500 mg the difference is up to 4 times! That's how different people are. The dynamics are also affected by the injection site, the individual tolerance of the components(carrier oil, etc), and how exactly the injection was made - the temperature of the oil, the speed of injection, and, of course, personal immune response.
These rates vary not only from person to person but also from injection to injection. So blood tests can tell us about your body but not about the product.
