So like you'll typically get prescribed like the longest bleed ester.

So sipionate has a half life of like,

I think it's like 10 days or something, eight to 10 days, depending on individual biochemistry and how you kind of like cleave the ester.

But you can also change the way it absorbs via injecting subcutaneously into stomach fat or into any sub-Q fat versus intramuscularly where it's more quickly going to get absorbed and assimilated.

So you can also bleed out the effect even more and make it even more stable in your blood levels.

And it's pretty easy to adhere to a TRT protocol of like micro injections, even on like a relative frequent basis, like every other day is pretty damn stable.

Subcutaneously is what a lot of guys do and works really, really well.

And, you know, it keeps a very stable hormone concentration curve.

It's pretty predictable and what's going to happen.

You just kind of like got to be aware of the, you know, how hard you're pushing it and what that will do to your risk profile accordingly.

The other way that's promising that I would say is oral testosterone undecanoate lymphatic absorption patented format.

So there is three, I believe, Talando, Jatenzo, and Kizatrix.

And they've basically managed to make a lymphatically absorbed testosterone undecanoate you can actually swallow orally.

Whereas back in the day, they would have had to make it hepatotoxic to actually make

make it through the liver um through first pass metabolism and actually like make it into circulation to any meaningful level they'd have to like add like a 17 alpha alkylated group to it and make it like a terrible for you oral steroid essentially this does not have the same level of stress it's not stress-free as far as i know but it's will get you the me a meaningfully significant like get you replacement of total t levels to like

mid to high range, depending on the person, likely achieve symptom relief for guys who are hypogonadal and is pretty sustainable because you're just popping something.

So some people prefer that.

Pretty expensive though, and kind of like a newer medium of administration, but promising nonetheless.

Typically what guys are doing though still is the injections or the cream.

And the other method is intranasal, which I'm sure you've probably heard of for like, you know, hypoactive sexual disorder for women has a potential for that, as well as for men as like a different medium of getting like an erythro.
