What is the advantage of hormone delivery in percutaneous gels or creams?
A. Percutaneous gel/cream application of hormones requires that only a small amount be applied to the skin once daily. Clinical studies show that elevations in blood Testosterone levels remain constant throughout the day. The adequacy of the Testosterone dose can be checked with a simple blood or saliva sample. Percutaneous creams use the natural reservoir of fatty tissue in the skin to deliver a continuous flow of hormones into the body between applications. Variances in individual plasma levels occur due to differences in skin absorption rates and body fat levels. This can be corrected by adjusting the volume or amount of the TestoJel® in women or TestoCreme® in men until the optimal physiological effect is achieved.
