YOu are completely guessing how much gets absorbed. The fact is, the subject has never been studied. The people selling the 1-test ether spend a huge amount of money on ads with the bold claims of absorption, based on rat studies using different compounds than 1-test ether. For a fraction of their advertising budget they could fund a HUMAN clinical study to actually verify their claims. But no, its much more fun to be a pretend R&D company than to actually walk to walk
This is true, and yes that is definetly a guess. This was posted by me awhile ago, and after alot of research and even talking to some so called "knowedgleable" people, i think that the whole so called ethergel technology is one more quick scam. Not to say that they dont work, or that the absorb. isnt better with an ethergel, but when an ad claims 45% absorb. over 7%, I really doubt it. In my opinion transdermal would be the way to go with 1test. 1ad and 1,4ad are exceptions, but for most other PHS i would suggest transdermal delivery. In my experience and many other peoples too, 1ad seems to be much better than the ethergels, but the ethergels also see to be much better than regular powder 1test, or even the enteric coating.
The whole problem with all of the absorb. rates, is they are mere postulents, they are just educated guesses. But I think most people would agree that transdermal delivery (except 1ad or 1,4) has been the most successful in terms of actual results.
