Derma-test, Testosterone Cream is a recently developed testosterone product. It is white in colour and creamy in texture. The base is specifically designed to be hypoallergenic and free from zenoestrogens. Natural Vitamin E is added to enhance absorption. It provides continuous trans- dermal delivery of testosterone for 24 hours following a single application. It provides a non-invasive method of application along with a consistent level of testosterone absorption. Testosterone Cream is designed to release testosterone in a varying level, over a 24 hours period. This is to mimic the natural (uneven) pattern of a healthy young man, with peaks and lows throughout the duration producing circulating testosterone concentrations that approximate normal levels (598 -1043 mg/ml).

This product is quite different from previous testosterone delivery mechanisms such as patches, which are designed for application on the shaved scrotal area (obviously not a comfortable practice).

As with all testosterone products it has a strong anabolic activity, with a pronounced androgenic component. Thus it can provide significant gains in strength and muscle mass, as well a noticeable increase in libido.

The recommended starting dose of testosterone Cream for man one gram (to deliver 100 mg of testosterone) applied once daily (preferably in the morning) to clean, dry, intact skin of the abdomen.

After a few weeks of daily application, a relatively steady state blood testosterone level is generally attained, typically in the region of 800mg/ml. Though some doctors prescribe twice-a-day application, many feel that once-a day delivers a more natural effect. This application occurs first thing in the morning to mimic the body's normal early morning rise in testosterone. Application to areas of the skin that has a layer of fat under them will slow the release of the testosterone so that blood levels are maintained longer. It is also recommended that the sites of application around the body are rotated so that optimal absorption is maintained. The best application areas include the chest, abdomen or inner thigh.

Derma-Test is supplied in a 50g non-aerosol, metered-dose pump bottle. Derma-Test comes in 2% , 10% and 15% Testosterone.
