Euro-Pharmacies Testosterone Enanthate 10 ml vial (250 mg/ml)

Testosterone Enanthate

Testosterone plays a critical role in the proper development of male sex organs and the maintenance of secondary sexual traits. This hormone influences the growth of the prostate, testes, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum while supporting overall body growth. Despite being androgenic, it also exhibits anabolic effects, promoting protein synthesis and a favorable nitrogen balance when combined with a nutrient-rich, low-calorie diet.

Additionally, testosterone slightly boosts red blood cell production by stimulating EPO synthesis in the kidneys. This enhances oxygen-carrying capacity.

Long-term use may suppress gonadotropin release from the pituitary gland through a negative feedback loop, with high doses potentially inhibiting spermatogenesis.

Dosage

Testosterone enanthate (Delatestryl) has a slow release after intramuscular injection. It is recommended to limit usage to 1-2 injections per month. This esterified preparation is solely intended for intramuscular administration, prolonging its action. It appears as a colorless to slightly yellow sesame oil suspension. For therapeutic purposes, a dose of 250-500mg is generally given monthly.

Indications

Delatestryl is indicated for the treatment of conditions stemming from testosterone deficiency, including:

• Primary hypogonadism due to testicular damage
• Hypogonadism from inadequate gonadotropin release by the pituitary gland
• Delayed puberty

In women diagnosed with breast cancer, testosterone can impede estrogen’s effects and limit progression, serving as an alternative to ovarian removal. Typically, therapy for testosterone deficiency continues until secondary sexual characteristics noticeably develop and growth is satisfactory.

Duration

Treatment duration with testosterone enanthate varies based on age, sex, diagnosis, individual response, and side effects. Most users find the drug well tolerated when prescribed correctly. Delatestryl should be administered into the gluteal muscles, not subcutaneously, with the injection site rotated to minimize abscess risk. Alternatively, it can be injected into the thigh. Intravenous use is prohibited. Do not exceed 1000 mg per month to prevent adverse effects from prolonged action. Routine checks for color and clarity of the suspension are recommended; any particulate matter indicates expiration. Treatment usually spans 4-6 months and should be stored at room temperature.

Bodybuilders

Delatestryl is a popular choice among bodybuilders during the off-season, as its prolonged presence in the body makes it unsuitable for use in active sports seasons. While the drug’s anabolic and androgenic properties contribute to performance enhancement, significant results typically manifest over 3-4 weeks. Bodybuilders might combine it with other anabolic agents like GH or thyroxine.

The conversion of testosterone to estrogen in adipose tissue may lead to breast enlargement and water retention; thus, doses ranging from 250-1000 mg/week are common for muscle gain. High doses may result in adverse effects, prompting beginners to start with lower amounts.

Gains in muscle mass occur steadily, with enhanced ability to perform strenuous activities owing to increased red blood cell production. Most bodybuilders prefer testosterone enanthate for its availability and multitude of benefits, including promoting health, improving athletic performance, and achieving a positive nitrogen balance. Recent studies suggest it can enhance performance and muscle mass while remaining undetectable in urine for several weeks. While immediate anabolic effects may not be apparent, a noticeable increase in strength is often reported. Water retention can be excessive, with some choosing diuretics to alleviate this. Breast enlargement is typically managed by cycling testosterone with drugs like Arimidex or Tamoxifen, following a pattern of 4-6 weeks on, with a subsequent washout phase.

Women

All testosterone analogs may induce virilizing effects in women with prolonged usage. Potential symptoms include voice deepening, excess hair growth, irregular menstruation, mood fluctuations, and clitoral enlargement. If any virilizing symptoms manifest, discontinuation of the drug is advised, as some effects may be irreversible.

Side effects

Testosterone enanthate, like other anabolic steroids, may produce mild side effects, generally well tolerated by users. Common side effects include:

• Irregular bleeding
• Virilizing effects
• Voice deepening
• Clitoral enlargement
• Gynecomastia
• Painful erections
• Hair loss, acne, oily skin
• Water retention
• Nausea, vomiting, jaundice
• Rarely, liver cancer
• Mental changes including depression, headaches, anxiety
• Elevated cholesterol levels

While most side effects can reverse, breast enlargement and certain virilizing effects may not. Concurrent estrogen use to mitigate these side effects is not always effective.

Testosterone use in children demands careful monitoring, as it can accelerate bone maturation without fostering compensatory linear growth, potentially resulting in abnormal anatomical distortions, particularly in the jaw and facial area.

Warnings

Use testosterone enanthate cautiously in individuals with:

• Breast cancer or hypercalcemia
• Liver dysfunction
• Prostate cancer
• Cardiac issues

Reports of dry cough or breathing difficulties post-injection have been linked to the oil preparation or impurities in the formula.

Regular checks of liver enzymes and blood hematocrit levels are essential for safe testosterone usage.

Recognition

Testosterone enanthate has an extended half-life, remaining detectable in urine long after cessation. Current testing methods can identify testosterone or its metabolites in urine weeks post-discontinuation, and hair testing can reveal traces for months. However, current tests for testosterone enanthate are not flawless, with about 50% of users potentially going undetected based on testosterone/epitestosterone ratios.

Cost

Legal testosterone enanthate is challenging to find; many bodybuilders resort to the black market. Generic formulations are readily available in Europe and Mexico. Prices can range from $10 to $20 per vial (250 mg). Increased scrutiny from the DEA over the last 20 years has led to counterfeit products entering the market, making diligence essential for buyers.
