Cernos Gel (Testogel) received great fame as a result of the scandal that flared up in the US a few years ago, when it turned out that the famous coach Trevor Graham said that several popular athletes use testosterone gel to improve athletic performance. Later it turned out that athletes had no idea that they were using a hormonal drug, mistakenly believing that they were rubbing innocuous creams into their skin.

Application
In bodybuilding, it is necessary to create a high concentration of anabolic hormones in the blood, which is impossible to provide through the skin. In the figure on the right you can see that increasing the dose of the drug Cernos Gel (Testogel) leads to an increase in the concentration of testosterone by about 150 units. Thus, to create the necessary concentration will require about 50 g of gel, which significantly increases the consumption of the drug (very cost-effective), while making it extremely inconvenient to use. It is necessary to cover a large part of the skin with the preparation, and even in this case the gel layer will be so thick that most of the testosterone gel will remain on the clothes.
