For the past 6 months I've only had experience with the different testosterone formulations put out by Para Pharma. To be clear, I'm not calling out Para Pharma or UGFREAK on this, I'm just trying to pin down the cause of inflammation. Before I pin any new vial of steroids I'll always do a subcutaneous micro dose (0.1 mL) as a "test" dose to ensure sterility and make sure I don't have some sort of reaction whether it's simply inflammatory or, at worst, an allergic/anaphylactic reaction. It seems far more bearable to deal with a subcutaneous reaction than it is with an intramuscular reaction.
Here's the situation: I've never had an inflammatory problem with the Para Phara TESTO E 250 formulation but I have with both the SUSTA 350 and TESTO E 400 formulations. The SUSTA 350 formulation seems to have been a much milder reaction as compared to the TESTO E 400 formulation. I've asked artificial intelligence like Gemini what could be the cause of an inflammatory reaction (outside of an infection) from a subcutaneous testosterone injection and got back an answer that it's either the carrier oil or it's the injection site (i.e. fatty subcutaneous tissue versus an intramuscular injection). I wrote "outside of an infection" because I have micro-filtered the TESTO E 400 formulation using a 0.22um hydrophobic PTFE filter and I still get an inflammatory response when injecting subcutaneously.
I feel like I've narrowed it down to either the carrier oil or it's that high concentration testosterone injections just don't do well subcutaneously. I say the carrier oil because artificial intelligence told me that high concentration testosterone solutions often use seed oils. I know for a fact that I don't have a problem with MCT oil because several bottles I've used in the past have said they contain MCT oil. The Para Pharma bottles I have don't say what type of carrier oil they contain so I'm left wondering. I asked Para Pharma directly months ago through a link on their website but they never responded. Maybe we can get a UGFREAK rep to chime in? @ugfreak
TLDR?
Is there a difference in carrier oils between the different Para Pharma testosterone formulations? I ask because I don't have an inflammatory response with the E 250 formulation but I do have a reaction with the SUSTA 350 and E 400 formulations.
