70 year male

[JPR]

I have asked about this on other sites; what do you advise?

I am a 70 year old healthy male, never used anything but vitamins. I am an expat living in Central America and can buy Testosterone Cypionate (Testex) 250mg and 100mg here in 3ml glass ampoules.

I am sure that no one knows more about Testosterone then you guys, most doctors included. What is your advice and recommendations for someone like me for dosage and frequency to get me feeling better etc. There are no labs or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) specialists in this country.

I am trying to keep this as brief as possible,

A friend in Florida age 78 told me his VA Dr. gives him 50mg every two weeks. If I do that from a 100mg 3ml glass ampoule, how can I keep the other half two weeks or just do the 100mg every four weeks? I am concerned if that will be too much to start. Thank you in advance, JPR

you can buy empty sealed, sterile vials from amazon or med and lab supplies for cheap. also buy sealed, sterile syringe filters since you will be getting your test in glass ampules. when u crack open glass amps, small glass frags can get in your oils and you can get a nasty absess from that. attach the filter at the end of a filled syringe and then inject the oil into your sealed vial.

Thank you Zephyr, good info. JPR

Each amp would have 300mg from the sound of it. Take out 3 syringes, load 1cc into 3 syringes. Now you can take 100mg in each shot and don't have to worry about vials, filters, etc...

Good for you, bro. I hope I'm still jabbin at 70!

The first thing you need to do, is not worry about your friend or his doctor. I don't know how the health care is where you live, but you really should seek the advice of a medical professional. With that being said, my advice to you is get some blood work done. At your age, you probably would benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). However, blood work is the first step and will need to be done often. If you can't get blood work done, I strongly advise not taking any hormonal products.

Aside from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), what type of goals are you trying to achieve? Do you even work out?

Store as post above and start at 200 mgs per week. If you can get your boold tested watch your BP and lipids. I would say you want to stay at about 600 mg/dl at your age and you will be fine.This is standard testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and you might also add an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Formeron-Luck-OD
