Testosterone synthesis is suppressed, the extent is not discussed. The fact that it is temporarily suppressed, is stated. If trans-dermal androgens is not effective, why has this published medical study explicitly stated that it is effective? Yes, I know they are younger. It still proves the efficacy of a topical trans-dermal method.Transdermal dihydrotestosterone therapy and its effects on patients with microphallus.

To investigate the efficacy of transdermal dihydrotestosterone therapy on 22 patients with microphallus, we applied dihydrotestosterone gel for 8 weeks to the external genitalia at daily doses of 12.5 mg. and 25 mg. for ages less than and older than 10 years, respectively. All patients were evaluated for penile and prostatic growth, pituitary-gonadal axis function, serum sex hormone binding globulin, lipid metabolism, hepatotoxicity, bone age and height velocity. All patients demonstrated growth of the penis during treatment. The mean increase rate (153%) in the first 4 weeks of treatment was higher than that (118%) of the second 4 weeks. Of importance is that responses were noted in 4 patients who had failed testosterone therapy for microphallus. The pituitary-gonadal axis was transiently suppressed during treatment, and serum sex hormone binding globulin and lipid metabolism were transiently affected during treatment. Serum alkaline phosphatase increased, mainly due to change of bone isoenzyme but bone ages and mean height velocity were not significantly affected. In conclusion, transdermal dihydrotestosterone therapy is an effective and relatively safe modality in the treatment of microphallus.
Take a wild guess on this one.
Since they carrier isn’t specifically stated this study is pretty much useless. Show me a study that used your ancient method of transdermal delivery and shows an androgen being delivered to local tissue.
You’re not going to find one bro. It won’t work.
