In general, testosterone level is higher in the early morning than other times of a day. And the highest time is during 6:00-8:00 a.m.. Is this right? If it is, takeing finasteride in 6:00-8:00 is more efficient because of its short half-life? When do you take finasteride? And What's your opinions about this? :)

I dont think there is a best time. Just make sure you take it at the same time everyday. Eg If your going to take it in the mornings do so every morning...

I take mine either around 6:30 a.m. or 10 - 11 a.m.

I read that finasteride is most effective 8 hours after taking it, but that is only on average. So if the AM is when Test is highest perhaps taking your finasteride before bedtime is the best. I really doubt it matters though. Take it when it is convenient.

I know the difference is probably even less. But if we want the maximum result, does it be a good way to reach better?

well, you have a point I guess.. Maybe it may make a slight difference in the use of finasteride to coincide when levels of testosterone are at their highest levels during the day (I've never heard of that). Then again, it seems that if you're taking finasteride day after day consistently, those levels of finasteride are gonna be pretty level and consistent and I can't be certain it's make a difference. Does each dose of finasteride decrease in potency the closer you get to ingesting more finasteride?

Blood levels of finasteride fluctuate a lot over a 24-hour period. They "spike" up pretty rapidly after taking a dose, reach a peak, then fall steeply throughout the rest of the day.

So, when is the best time do you think of taking finasteride, Bryan?
