Today I have received the 20% DHT from AlphaGels. It took exactly 1 month from making the order and payment to receive it, using the standard shipping they offer. The ordering process isn't difficult, but it can take a few days for them to answer you and then some additional time for them to actually ship it out. It's not a streamlined system, but it's fine.
In any case, what
@FunkOdyssey said about their product is true. It's not a cream or gel, but rather oil that you apply to your skin, I guess you could call it an ointment. The application process isn't the easiest as the oil can easily drip down, so you have to apply it with the dropper and then spread it over the skin. I tried the standard dose of 1ml and was able to cover both of my delts and part of my chest. 2 minutes after applying I felt a stinging pain, a couple of minutes later it started to itch, like I was bitten by mosquitoes all over the place and soon after the skin became red as well. It definitely isn't a skin friendly product, but I'll see how it goes after multiple applications. 20 minutes in, the intensity of negative effects was massively reduced, 40 minutes in it all disappeared, except skin redness, which took a couple of hours to clear.
Considering that the ingredients are supposedly olive oil, DMSO and Vit E oil, I'd say these negative effects likely come from DMSO. During my research into DMSO for my future home-brews, I noticed that such reactions can be possible especially if the amount of DMSO in whatever "ointment" you're using goes above 10%.
It's been now almost 7 hours since the first application and I don't feel anything. I've heard the effects should come quite fast, in a matter of hours. Regardless of it not being skin friendly I was thinking of applying it to the scrotum; 0.5ml at 8am and 0.5ml at 6pm, for a total of 200mg of DHT per day. Next week I would then take a test at trough and then the next day at peak, to see if it actually works and what numbers I'll have.
Any thoughts on all this? For all those who experienced positive effects, did you get them in a matter of hours, or did it take a few days to kick in?
