Testosterone Cypionate

History

The drug was first introduced in the mid-50s of last century.

At first, he was not very popular, because very similar effects with the action of testosterone enanthate. In the United States, for example, it has been used as an alternative to enanthate.

However, between the two, at first glance, there is no distinction interchangeable drugs. Testosterone cypionate is minimal interior causes irritation.
In medicine, it is used to treat men with low levels of androgens, which can occur in a gradual decrease in power and libido, loss of energy.

In the 60s it was used as a medicine for improving the composition of human bone, treatment of osteoporosis.
The drug is also recommended for stimulating the process of spermatogenesis.

To this day, the drug is available in many countries around the world.

Formulation
Testosterone cypionate - binds to testosterone through the hydroxy group tsiklopentilpropionato ether 17-beta. esterified steroids are less polar than the free steroid and slowly absorbed from the injection site. Once in the bloodstream, the air splits and moves in free testosterone in the blood. esterified steroids have been developed in order to prolong the therapeutic effect after injection, less frequent injections compared to free steroid injections. The half-life of testosterone cypionate is approximately 8 days after injection.

This drug - this is one of the longest of testosterone esters available today. Its half-life in the body is about 15 to 16 days (half-life of 8.6 days). The drug is available in the form of an oil solution. Because it works for a long period of time, can cause water retention in a greater degree than other anabolic steroids. Most often, it is used in the combined set of courses muscle mass.

In the body, testosterone cypionate acts like the natural hormone testosterone - a male sex hormone that is responsible for many of the physical and emotional quality of men. This causes hoarseness, sexual desire, aggression and muscle growth. Testosterone acts through receptors anabolic, causing the muscle to retain more nitrogen, which, in turn, are the muscle proteins.

Disadvantage is that testosterone cypionate is flavored, or in other words is converted to estrogen. When in the male body produces excess estrogen begin to appear feminine traits: gynecomastia, water retention, fat deposition in the female type, and there is a decrease in sexual desire and testicular atrophy. Most of the undesirable effects can be avoided if the drug is used correctly.

The drug use
As with all injectable forms of testosterone cypionate is a significant increase in muscle mass and strength during a cycle. Because testosterone is easily converted into estrogen, about 30% of the mass is taken into account for the liquid which is quickly lost after the course.
For this reason, testosterone cypionate is not very suitable for the cycle. Excess estrogen levels caused by this drug can lead fairly quickly to the development of gynecomastia, which manifests as pain, swelling or induration at the nipples. To avoid this, use ancillary drugs Nolvadex and Clomid. Antiestrogens minimize the effects of estrogen, and reduce the action of anabolic steroids in the directional sense. It is best to use aromatase blockers.

Since testosterone is the primary male androgen, we can also expect that the development of androgenic side effects. His expression is largely due to the speed at which the body converts testosterone into DHT. This substance is a metabolite of testosterone, which is responsible for development of certain androgenic effects that are associated with the use of testosterone cypionate. These include: increased secretion of sebum, acne, hair growth on the body and face, as well as male pattern baldness.
 Hair loss is not expressed at all in all. Worrying about what should first those who have a genetic predisposition (the case of baldness in the family). To prevent this side effect, the drug may be used Propecia (Proscar), which blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Propecia significantly reduces the risk of alopecia, and reduces the probability of remaining androgenic effects.

Combination with other drugs
Combined preparation course is a bit different from the rest of the course.
Most commonly, the drug is combined with nandrolone, with a dose of 200 mg per week.

Testosterone cypionate dose in this case is about 200 mg per week.

conclusions
 The product is ideal to gain muscle mass, plus it is often used in medicine for the treatment of many diseases, retarded growth and development, bone diseases.

The effect of the drug is still fairly soon and is in a high anabolic effect on muscle growth athlete with relatively minor side effects.
