The best time of day to inject testosterone is typically in the morning. This allows the level of the hormone to reach its peak in the late morning and early afternoon when energy levels are naturally highest.
Some key points on timing testosterone injections:
- Morning is usually preferred as it mimics the body's natural circadian rhythm. Testosterone levels peak in the early morning around 6-8am. Injecting in the morning helps maintain normal physiology.
- Every day or every other day injections work well to keep hormone levels steady. Fluctuating levels can cause side effects.
- Choose a regular time you can stick to, such as after showering or breakfast. Consistency is important.
- Rotate injection sites - common sites are the glutes, thighs and deltoids. This reduces irritation.
- Talk to your doctor about timing if you're on other medications or treatments that could interact with testosterone.
Some more specific guidelines on best times:
- 8am: Convenient for many as part of morning routine before work. Allows testosterone to reach optimal levels.
- 10am: Good option to prevent very early waking if 8am is too early for your schedule.
- 7pm: Works if morning injections aren't possible. Mimics natural rise in testosterone later in the day.
What to avoid:
- Injecting late evening or close to bedtime - could cause sleep disturbances as hormone peaks
- Afternoon injections - leads to high peaks when falling levels are natural
~~Midday~~ - not ideal as levels may start dropping during afternoon
