Exactly, hormones are difficult to predict and no two people are the same.
Surprised they are using orals & topicals. The issue with orals is that they strain the hell of out your liver. You can try to keep it healthy with milk thistle, but still. Topical seems like a waste to me, rate of absorption isn't great. Plus I remember when I was reading about all this that guys were afraid to touch their kids or spouse after applying, which makes sense lmao.
Best absorption rate & least amount of damage to your organs is injection, but some are afraid of needles which I get.
