Introducing 1-T ethergels… the definitive 1-testosterone - Brief Article

Flex, Dec, 2002

Steroid researcher and ANABOLICS 2002 author William Llewellyn is pleased to introduce 1-T[TM] Ethergels[TM], the first in a revolutionary new line of ether-modified oil-dissolved softgels that promise to tackle, once and for all, problems with poor oral bioavailability.

ETHER-MODIFIED 1-TESTOSTERONE

Ether-modification drastically increases the oral bioavailability of hormonal supplements by altering the way they are absorbed by the body. The technology works by attaching an ether to the steroid molecule, which tremendously increases its fat-solubility.

This allows much of the hormone to bypass the destructive "first-pass" through the liver, and enter circulation, intact, through the lymphatic system.

SUPERIOR SOFTGEL FORMULATION

But if we had put 1-Testosterone ether in a regular capsule we would have wasted its true potential! Studies show maximum lymphatic absorption is achieved only when the ether-modified hormone is dissolved in a proper oily vehicle, as illustrated in the graph above. Here absorption by the lymphatic system was an AMAZING 5 1/2 times greater when dissolved in sesame oil rather than a water solution.

With this design we have eliminated the need for high doses or alternate forms of delivery--1-T[TM] Ethergels[TM] is simply the ULTIMATE 1-Testosterone.

Influence of Vehicle on Lymph Absorption

Water vs.    7.5%
Sesame Oil  41.2%

Differences in lymph absorption when ether-modified steroid is
administered in sesame oil vs. a water-based vehicle to the small
intestine of rats.
