I’m curious what most of you guys are doing for your maintenance dose - are you sticking with pharma-grade or just running UGL for your weekly TRT?
I’ve been thinking about switching over to Pharmacom Test Cyp 250 for both my cruise and my blast phases. I'm definitely planning to pull my own labs to keep an eye on my markers and make sure everything is legit, but I'd love to hear some feedback first.
What are the pros and cons of making the jump to UGL for the long haul?
Honestly man, unless you have a crazy good insurance plan that covers the pharma stuff, UGL is the way to go for the long haul. Pharmacom is usually solid and way cheaper. The main con is obviously the risk of a bad batch, but if you're pulling your own labs like you said, you'll catch it pretty quick. I've been on UGL for years and my levels are way more stable than when I was fighting with a doctor every month.
I made the switch to UGL last year and never looked back. The biggest pro is definitely the price and the freedom - no more pharmacy delays or annoying doctor visits. Just make sure your source is legit. Pharmacom has a decent rep but always check the latest lab tests on the boards. Only real con is the occasional "spicy" shot if the carrier oil is different, but you get used to it.
pharma is nice for peace of mind but man it gets expensive fast if you arent covered. i use ugl for my cruise and blast because i can just stockpile it and not worry about running out. plus ugl test usually comes in 250 or 300mg so you pin less volume than that 100mg/ml pharma stuff. just keep an eye on your bloodwork and youll be fine!
Pharmacom is a classic choice for a reason. I've used their Cyp 250 for a few cruises and it always held its own. The only thing I’d say is that pharma grade is held to way stricter sterilization standards, but as long as you use a top tier UGL, it’s basically the same thing. Once you start blasting, the cost difference is so huge that UGL just makes more sense for most of us.
