Episode notes
Why You Shouldn't Store Test In Syringes
- Dave tested storing testosterone in insulin syringes and found discoloration and stopper breakdown after weeks.
- He warns against multi-day syringe storage because preservative and stopper breakdown can contaminate injections.
Skepticism Toward Oral Testosterone
- Oral testosterone products have historically failed due to short half-lives and liver issues; skepticism is warranted until solid clinical data appears.
- If an oral truly works non-hepatically and provides stable levels, it will disrupt the market.
Test Before Using DHEA or Pregnenolone
- Test DHEA and pregnenolone before supplementing; dose low and monitor since excess causes acne or sedation.
- Typical replacement ranges: pregnenolone 25–100 mg/day and DHEA 10–50 mg/day when deficient.
