How effective is AndroGel compared to test prop or test e?
For Hormonal Replacement therapy or a cycle?
For HRT it's great, I loved the way it worked double-dosed AM and PM, but have found shots more convienant. The creams gave me more libido and well-being than an equal amount (equivalent) of injects. But, again, not convienant to put the stuff on twice a day or even once. Some say it is more convienant than a shot, but not in my book with kids and timelines. For HRT my opinion as far as feeling, libido, mood is rated as:
#1 Cream
#2 Propionate
#3 Cypionate (or enanthate)
Of course the frequency is backwards to my preference and use Cypionate for my HRT now and shoot twice a week. 5gm Gel is like 100mg Cypionate and 5gm twice a day is like 200mg Cypionate as far as test levels, but 10gm a day gel/cream is like 400mg Cypionate as far as libido and mood.
For a cycle: worthless, unless using to maintain testosterone levels while running something suppressive and wanting to maintain test levels without raising them much for whatever reason.
