Opinions on TAG (Transdermal Anabolic Gel)
« on: April 19, 2007, 11:05:01 AM »
I have been seeing this stuff pop up more and more.  they have gels now for all tests, bold, susta, tren, deca etc...

I am not sure what to believe.  here is an ad for it.

What do you guys think?

TAG delivers the steroid conveniently, efficiently, painlessly and without any taxing or adverse effects on the liver. TAG has the great advantage of delivering the hormone directly into the bloodstream where it is carried throughout your body. With convenient daily applications TAG also enables patients to safely maintain a consistent optimum high level of the hormone, which is vastly superior to fluctuating levels caused by a series of injections.

TAG benefits include:
No "First Pass Effect": Oral administrations of hormones are largely rendered inactive by passing through the stomach, intestines and liver. This is commonly referred to as the first pass effect. Oral administration, although easy and convenient, is an extremely poor delivery system for administration of steroids. In addition to being largely ineffective, excessive dosages and long-term use causes liver toxicity and other serious side effect.
Improved Steroid Efficiency: is realized by maintaining constant blood serum levels and reducing "peaks and valleys" caused by injections. Injected steroids are only periodically administered and are quickly absorbed resulting in wide-ranging blood serum levels. Daily applications of steroids help maintain constant hormone levels maximizing the effectiveness of the therapy.
Minimizes Potential Adverse Reaction: Maintaining constant blood serum levels increases the effectiveness and reduces the risk of side effects,
A Safer, More Effective, Non-intrusive, Non-toxic Administration System: Injected steroids are the most effective way to administer large doses. However, injections have some drawbacks. Delivery is non-uniform, inconvenient, sometimes painful, and not conducive to daily application. As well there are associated sterility risks. Oral administration is subject to adverse reactions caused by the first pass effect.
Improved Compliance: because TAG is easy to use, conveniently and painlessly administered without sterility concerns patient compliance will be improved,
Easy Dose Adjustment: TAG comes with a specially designed cap that will measure 1/3 gram providing an accurate and simple way to control and vary dose amounts,
Proven Reliable Deliver System: Transdermal gels have been used successfully in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for years providing convenient and effective delivery of hormones to patients worldwide. Transdermal gels are the most recommended delivery system of HRT specialists precisely because of the ease of use, convenience, safety, dose flexibility, uniform delivery and their ability to effectively deliver the hormone,
BConcentrated Formulas: minimize the amount of gel to be applied,
Absorption: TAG absorption rates are generally 18% to 20% of the dose applied. Absorption rates vary based on an individual's physiology, permeability of the patient's skin, application site, age and skin condition (damaged, scared or tattooed skin tend to affect absorption). To increase the absorption TAG should be applied to thin skin areas that are low in fat and experience continual movement like the back of the knee, inner leg, forearms, neck or shoulders.
Discrete packaging: TAG is packaged in a small, attractive, unbreakable plastic tube for safe, easy and discrete handling.
Broad market appeal: a large percentage of hormone users have foregone the enormous health benefits of anabolic steroids mostly due to a natural aversion to injections and an unwillingness to risk the harmful "first pass effect" associated with oral steroids. TAG has changed the landscape for anabolic steroids.

TAG is a hydro alcoholic gel containing a combination of proprietary permeation enhancers. TAG is a viscous gel that is scented for cosmetic appeal. TAG contains a hormone or combination of hormones that are administered to patients via absorption of the hormone through the patient's skin. After application, TAG dries with no film or sticky residue. There are no sterility concerns, no harmful first-pass effect and no needles.

The transdermal gels are applied to those parts of your body where the skin is thin and the gel can be easily absorbed -e.g., inner wrists, inner arms, inner thighs, shoulders, chest, and neck, all the places where capillaries are abundant and close to the surface.

Reading some more it states that there is a 20% absorption rate.  A tube costs a little over $100 and has 30 servings of 1 gram.

So example of the Sust it claims to have 30 servings of 300mg but each 300mg serving only yields 60 mg active so to even get about 500-600 mg you need to use 1/3 of the bottle per week.  Kind of expensive spending about $130 every 3 weeks for sust.

Add on anything else and this can be quite an expensive cycle.

It doesn't seem worth it if there's only a 20% absorption rate.

The lab study put out by Xavier labs who creates this stated 100% availability for injected, 40% for oral and 20% for there's.  I agree.  It is not worth it at all unless someone has a couple grand to spend on a 12 week cycle.

What about the veterinary Tren & DMSO concotion Duchaine wrote about?
I never used any but I heard it packed a powerfull  punch.
You can melt lots of stuff in DMSO, but it smells like dumpster juice is one tiny problem :(.

Why?  Do you have experience with anabolic gels?

THose substances were used because they couldnt be detected, not because they are superior to the old school stuff that ben around 4Ever.

Bonds took a lot more than just the cream.  It was known that he purchased HGH Deca and test.

They had Bonds cycles in Mus Develpmt mag. They were conservative but effective if that's what he'd tend to run. I see no reason he shouldnt be able to legaly. How Old is he? That many years of pro ball takes a toll on the bod.

I dont think a bit of creme is the answer to Bonds growth either.

Stick with tried and proven stuff is my theory on everything.

The over the counter transdermals are crap.  The prescription ones do have the real thing.  The problem is the absorption and they are also made more for the male libido and lack of testosterone.  These will not do much for muscle building.
