Introduction: Recent data indicate sublingual/transbuccal administration of certain androgens (e.g., 4-androstenediol) elevates testosterone concentrations in men1. However, the hormonal responses to newer forms of prohormones (e.g., 4-androstenediol ethylcarbonate and 17-hydroxyandrost-1-ene-3-one ethylcarbonate) are unknown. Purpose: As part of a larger study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of prohormone administration in men, this study examined selected hormonal responses [total testosterone (TT), bioavailable testosterone (BT) and estradiol (E2)] to a single dose of the dietary supplement Andro 150 CycloPopper (ANDRO). Methods: Using a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design, three eugonadal men (mean ± SD age, height, weight, body fat, (31.7 ± 3.5 yr, 174.3 ± 1.4 cm, 84.3 ± 3.8 kg, 13.0 ± 4.8 %)] ingested, in a sublingual/transbuccal manner, either ANDRO or a placebo during two laboratory trials. Both trials were separated by at least one week and were initiated at the same time of day (0700-0900) to minimize diurnal variation. Supplements were provided by an FDA-registered, pharmaceutically licensed laboratory. Each dose of ANDRO contained: 128 mg 4-AD (4-androstene-3 17-diol); 15 mg 4-AD-EC (4-androstenediol ethylcarbonate ester); 5 mg NOR-4-AD (19-nor-4-androstene-3, 17-diol); and 2 mg A1-E (17-hydroxyandrost-1-ene-3-one ethylcarbonate ester). Blood samples were collected 0, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 minutes post-administration and analyzed for TT, BT, and E2 by radioimmunometric and chemilluminetric methods. Hormone concentrations were log transformed and analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Dependent t-tests were also used to compare the area under the response curve (AUC). Results: Compared to baseline (TT: 497 ng/dL; BT: 156 ng/dL) ANDRO administration significantly (p<0.05) increased TT and BT from 30-240 minutes while E2 remained unchanged from its baseline value (43 pg/mL). Peak TT (1173 ng/dL) and BT (626 ng/dL) values were attained at 30 minutes, thereafter values declined and by 300 minutes were not significantly different from baseline. Mean changes in AUC for TT, BT and E2 were +62% (p<0.05), +123% (p<0.05), and +18% (p>0.05), respectively. Conclusions: These data indicate that acute sublingual/transbuccal administration of ANDRO significantly elevates serum TT and BT but not E concentrations in eugonadal men. We are currently expanding our sample size to refine and verify these effects.

ok... as a disclaimer.. I did actually try these before I started reading these boards...

I took them for a good 2 months straight and did notice decent gains durning that time period.. gained muscle and lost fat..
I was popping 2 before every workout..

I think the major bust on them is that you pay more for less...
and most people start out around 300 mg per day with 1-ad...

with the poppers.. you are at about half that...

some people go up to around 900 mg per day with 1-ad.. you would need about 7 poppers for the same amount..

I think most people will tell you to just take 1-ad instead...
but...I thought the poppers worked pretty well for me...
