Testosterone
Cypionate. (also
known as (Depo Testosterone).
|
Testosterone
is most commonly used in the United States
as the testosterone cypionate and the testosterone
enanthate esters. While doctors often administer
both forms of testosterone as infrequently
as every two weeks and in some cases every
month, the pharmacokinetics of these testosterones
show that this is inappropriate if the most
consistent blood-levels of the IV drugs are
desired. Some patients complain of a large
decrease in energy, libido, clarity of thought,
and mood, by the time the two or four week
administration occurs. |
One
study stated that 140 mg. of testosterone cypionate
and testosterone enanthate produced similar blood
levels after injection, and stated that heightened
blood levels decreased to basal levels by day ten.
With higher doses the duration appears to increase
a little with another study stating that with an
injection of 200 mg. of testosterone cypionate
blood levels reached basal levels by days 13 to
14.
It
is seemingly easy to see why a person would feel
a large decline in energy, libido, stamina, mood,
and overall quality of life with two or three week
dosing, so it is urged that a physician be used
to consider adjusting dosing strategies. I believe
that the patient will experience the greatest quality
of life improvement when the testosterone cypionate
and enanthate esters of testosterone are administered
once every seven days. - Source: Schulte-Beerbuhl,
1980
It's
also suggested that forms of testosterone not currently
available in the United States like Sustanon (multi
form testosterone), which is a long-acting testosterone
blend, with a more consistent release (less peak/trough
effect) than testosterone cypionate and /or testosterone
enanthate be investigated.
Benefits (Result
may vary by individual)
• Enhance
mood
• Reduce depression
• Increased energy
• Increase bone density |
• Regulates
lean body tissue
• Develops muscle mass
• Reduce risk of heart disease
• Increased strength and endurance |
Note
that with oil-based steroids like the testosterone
cypionate and nandrolone deconoate there can
be a pool of the drug (otc,class, and rx) that
accumulates in the injection site area that
lengthens the decline in blood levels somewhat
after several testosterone injections. Still,
after watching many people over the last several
years, studies have been seen that for most
consistent blood level of testosterone and
best overall patient quality of life, weekly
administrations work best.
