I'm curious to hear people's experiences with androsterone, either on it's own or mixed in a cover scent. I'd also be interested in knowing the dosage you used. My one experience with it was with a product that was dosed exceptionally high because I was actually using it for it's androgenic properties and not it's pheromonal properties. But it must have inadvertently elicited some of the the pheromonal side effects in the process.
So after doing some limited research the past couple days, mostly off the brief descriptions provided by "love-scent" company, it appears androsterone itself isn't as foul or offputting in smell on it's own, which may explain why I didn't need a cover scent when using it. Still though, I'm thinking when I try this experiment again I'm going to dial the dosage back. The product I used delivered 1mg of androsterone per drop. I'm thinking I'll quarter that to 0.25 milligrams per drop (in ethanol base) and I'll add some "Androstadienone" to the mixture as well. Based off the reading from Love-Scent, assuming their information is good, it's another not so intense smelling mone that is offering some of the stuff I'm looking for, and I'm curious how it will mix with androsterone. But I enjoy the alpha qualities to androsterone, so it will certainly predominate the mixture. I'm undecided if I'll add a cover to it or not. I don't normally wear artificial scents, so I'm hesitant about picking one.

So, I am curious for which product you did use that is 1 mg/drop. That seems economical when you make a pheromone product of it. In pheromonial products the strength is calculated in a certain amount of mcg/drop.
1 mg = 1000 mcg. Often when I buy single pheromones, there's 1 to 10 mg in 10 ml.
It's the one from Idealabs. The vendor markets his products for a more nootropic/nutraceutical crowd, which is why it's probably not the same strength as scent companies. Andro is a weak androgen that has effects similar to DHT, only not quite as powerful. In dosages around 10 milligrams or higher it starts increasing heat production though. At least with me, and for some people that may be uncomfortable. Bodybuilders have used products like androsterone and epiandrosterone for the "drying" effects. Meaning it leans them out and lowers estrogen.
Where it's said that it contains 1 MG per drop?
I searched the website but I didn't find the concentration!!

Thanks for sharing your source. I guess for a person that makes it's own pheromone mixes it would be a good purchase to get 240 drops of 1 mg Androsterone (https://idealabs.ecwid.com/Androsterone-p71730339) for 30 dollar (and 20 for shipping).
Did you already try it as a pheromone? I mean: dilute it until you have a dropper or sprayer that gives 5 or 10 mcg a drop or spray?
I haven't diluted it to the degree you speak of yet. I've had only one observable experience thus far. I've wore it in the past in public areas but I wasn't really paying attention to the people around me so much. I am thinking about reducing it to a quarter of it's original strength and adding some small amounts of androstadienone to it.
Quote from: Mr Level1 on Dec 06, 2024, 11:25 AMI think diluting it by 1/4 will still be very, very strong for pheromonial use. It's 250 mcg a drop. That is really, really a lot of Androsterone, used as pheromone.
As I said: it's used in products in amounts like 5-10 mcg a drop or spray. Most people don't get any consistent results by using 25-50 drops or sprays. Probably you get ghosted, as in: your pheromone signature/cloud isn't believable, so the mind of people will filter you out.
Interesting, I'm new to all of this so I'll admit I have really no idea what I'm doing lol. I've seen people mention concepts like "ghosting," "overdose," "burnout" etc but I have no idea what they're talking about. What do you think about a 1/16th dilution? Also, what do you think about adding androstadienone to the mixture? Do you yourself have any personal experiences with androsterone?
