How could I measure the nootropic benefits testosterone injections may have? 2023-05-18T21:40:53.704Z

Hey Isaac, I appreciate your concerns but, quite frankly, I don't care that much about potential risks.

If you are curious as to what effects can be measurably observed after a single injection, I highly reccomend reading this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4330791/ . It's sort of a meta analysis and includes various examples of experiments involving single testosterone shots.

I corrected the concentration and amount. It is 300mg/ml and 1ml of testosterone. I am not too worried about any of the classic side effects (estrogenic/LH/FSH/spermatogenesis related) as I am not intending to take testosterone for any longer then 3 weeks - which should also leave me minimally suppressed.

You're right, I fixed it.
