Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I recently got some Testosterone Troches, but I'm unsure how to use them. They're supposed to be a short-term boost for the libido - you let one dissolve under your tongue which gets it right into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver, but it has a short half-life. Am I supposed to use this sorta like Viagra? Anyone have experience with them? They're NOT for daily use nor to raise T levels like shots or the patch does. Here's what I was told: 1. Some of you, depending on particular lifestyle and schedule, apply your T gel after you work out. That means T levels are very low the next morning while trying to train. A little quick boost before leaving for the gym might really help. 2. The second situation involves those who are well tuned up hormonally, yet still have not found the improvement in libido they seek. For them, taking a sublingual androgen can really do the trick. Some general information: The T troches are placed under the tongue, and allowed to slowly dissolve. They do so in about ten minutes. That is about the time some men will notice their voices lowering. The troches come in a cherry flavor, and actually taste pretty good. No one will be using them as sole TRT. The testosterone they deliver does not last long enough in the bloodstream for them to be effective in that capacity. They are not methylated, as oral steroids are, and so will not hurt the liver. However, they can make estrogen shoot up along with testosterone, and can be highly suppressive. If you are worried about fertility issues, this may be important to keep in mind.
