Dose vs. concentration question

[MrTwoCircles]

Hey guys, I’m new here and starting to explore TRT and learn a bit about it. Wondering if y’all could help clarify something

I’m trying to get a better understanding of concentration vs. actual dosing and was hoping someone could clarify something for me.

When comparing something like 100 mg/mL vs 200 mg/mL, what are the practical advantages or disadvantages of using one concentration over the other? Is it basically just the amount of oil you have to inject?

And is the dosing relationship completely linear? For example, would 0.5 mL of a 200 mg/mL solution be equivalent to 1 mL of a 100 mg/mL solution, since both would contain 100 mg?

Thanks!

Morning,
If the same ester, so the half life is the same then 1 ml of 100 mg (if your goal is to take 100 mg/week for TRT), would be equal to 1/2 ml of 200 mg/ml. When I went from script to UGL TRT, I used T400 (I don't ever get PIP) but found it hard to get the exact dosage correct because I was taking 2 shots a week. In that case, I was trying to take 1/8 twice a week (it was test E). With an insulin syringe sub-q it is easy, but with a 3 ML typical needle, it is a little more precise.
The oil - 1/2 ml, 1 ML, up to a reasonable amount should slowly be absorbed into your blood stream from the injection site.
The amount of oil, from my perspective only comes into play with very high dosages and you are a pin cushion trying to get all the compounds / injections in at the appropriate time.
That is clearly not your goal, so I would not give it too much thought other than the ester and the amount of injections to ensure a reasonably steady amount in your system. I don't get caught up on small fluctuations as anyone natural would have this anyway, but do try to keep the same amount on an ongoing basis as best I can.
Hope this helps.

All comes down to the amount of oil you need to inject. My Taro test C is 100mg/ml my Hikma test E is 200mg/ml. I personally like the higher mg to ml ratios especially if im adding other compounds. Both have similar half-lifes. I have used both many times and the blood work has always stayed consistent between the two different esters. Some people have different reactions to different esters so that can also be a bit of a deciding factor.
