Hey all - First post!
50 something here who lifted into the early 2000's. I dabbled with some basic cycles at the time. Then kids came and the gym was put on the back burner. Now they are away in college and it's time for Dad to work on himself again. Been progressing slowly but steadily over the past several months. Just tested low for Testosterone (280) and have some of the typical symptoms so I am thinking of TRT. This brings me to my question;
If I go the UGL route, is filtering a must do or more of a solution to a problem that doesn't exist? Will be using Pharmacom Labs. Was thinking taking the 10ml vial and filtering (0.2um) into 4, 2.5ml vials.
This solves a couple potential problems. 1) removing suspended contaminants/bacteria and 2) reducing the penetrations a 10ml vial would be subjected to. At 300mg/ml and an anticipated weekly dose of 2x90mg - the vial would be subjected to 33 penetrations over 16 weeks. I'm worried about the septum's integrity as the contents draw down. I'm planning on using a 22 gauge to draw. The test is in grapeseed oil.
Any guidance and opinions are appreciated.
