Best Time of Day to Apply Androgel?

[DeeAye]

I'm just wondering if it's best to apply Androgel at night or in the morning? Is there any benefit to splitting my dose (ie - applying 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 before bed)? Thanks!

I put mine on 2 pumps in the morning only. This keep it away from the wife.

I apply my Androgel for recovery purposes only (not TRT) and only a couple times per week, so I put mine on at night. Why do I do this... because the body heals itself during sleep and the extra testosterone floating around helps speed up the process. I could be wrong but that is what I have read.

I tried putting it on at night and it can keep me up sometimes.

Natural test production peaks in the early morning hours so applying it immediately upon awakening is the way to go.

I think it also gives me an energy boost along with my coffee.

I agree with the energy boost!

Daily after my shower. (I have used this product and like it.)
Inside of thigh. Wash hands afterwards.

Have you any experience with products from AndroMeds? they do testosterone cream to apply direct to the scrotum. (it's meant to be faster / better)

If you apply it at night it could damage your HPTA even further :/

Please explain, Poud4poundaas. Thanks!

Your body attempts to produce testosterone while you sleep. If you keep using too late at night (before you sleep) your body will shut off your HPTA even more as opposed to morning applications because your body will get used to having exogenous testosterone applied before sleeping.

Exactly. That's why AndroGel says on it's instructions to be applied in the morning. You must've gotten your generic from androrxshop or something that doesn't include usage outlines jk

It's best to mimic nature as best possible in most fitness practices generally. I use mine in the morning after a shower.

in the morning as test peaks and starts dropping through the day.

this makes 0 sense. taking androgel for a sustained period of time - no matter what time of the day you apply it - will shut down your HPTA. androgel recommends applying in morning as this is when T levels normally peak. this advice has nothing to do w/ the functioning of the HPTA axis.
