How effective IS andriol?

[Tux]

Since I will be a PharmD in a few more years, I was wondering about the effectiveness of andriol. I know it's not much use to bodybuilders b/c the cost, since it doesn't tend to raise test levels above normal, but say you wanted to take an oral-only cycle, wouldn't this at least ensure you have normal test levels during the cycle? It would also be good for bridging and especially for HRT if you get tired of injections for a little while. Anyone have any info other than anabolicfitness on the actual effectiveness of it? I can't find anything solid b/c it's not made or used in the US. K for help! Thanks!

i have heard that because it's absorbed by the lymph nodes i believe instead of the intestine, that the absorbtion rate varies a lot, and you dont always get the same dose even if you take the same amount every day. i would think that for HRT reasons, the patch or cream/gel would probably be a better option.

What about during a cycle, just to keep test levels normal? Say if I wanted to do an oral-only cycle someday, a "mild" cycle like tbol/andriol, would it be sufficient? Perhaps I'll just do a study myself. Get my test levels checked before I start, then at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and after PCT. See how well it actually works. Does anyone have blood tests on while on andriol, or at least first-hand experience? And NO, lol, the Penguin god is not afraid of needles, I've injected 3x a day for 2 months straight before, I have no problems injecting, it's more an idle thought at the moment than a serious idea.

I've ran Andriol a few times. You need 8+ capsules a day to get any muscle building results.

A few bodybuilders I know that compete in so called "natural" or "tested" events like the stuff cuz it clears in 7 days.

I don't want it for muscle-BUILDING, i'll use injectable test for that. I just meant for HRT purposes or for keeping test levels in the normal range while on say, a short oral only cycle. Is it enough, or should I stick to injections for my test? Thanks for the answers!

i personally have not used it but a few guys that i know use it during pct. but it's alot. like 10-12 per day. the same way i do my pct except i do var and then t-bol. as far as running it with other compounds, yeah it might as well be $ down the drain.

with the difference in the money why not run a few bursts of hcg instead of andriol the way you were wanting.

B/c HCG doesn't keep your test levels normal. It brings your testes back to size, or prevents most atrophy, but your test levels will still be low. And don't ask me how, but I got mine dirt cheap so the price isn't an issue. So most of you think it's just a waste? I think I'll have to just experiment on myself and have bloodwork done before, during, and after to see if test levels remain in normal range I guess Thanks for the input! Any other experiences or informed replies are still welcome!

then i'd go with it if ya got it cheap. cause man that stuff runs up there with primo as far as $ is concerned in my book. if you took the right dose that is. i'm just not too familiar cause i've never had a reason to use it. my bro's spend a shitload on it even for the short time that they do it once per year. it's worth a try if you got it lower than what i've seen it for.

We can't talk prices, but let's say it was no more expensive than most winny 100tab bottles.. from mexico. I'll give it a try later this year as part of bridge before competition cutting, or next year and if I remember, try and post results. Thanks guys!

good to go. definately let us know how that goes, bro.
