Testosterone Propionate CAS:57-85-2

Testosterone Propionate is the shortest-estered testosterone steroid. It’s an injectable compound with a slower rate of release than un-esterified Testosterone, but a faster rate of release than all the rest of esterified testosterones.There are some advantages and disadvantages to the short acting ester. The major disadvantage is that users have to inject Testosterone Propionate at minimum every other day throughout the cycle to get proper results. The advantages, Однако, are easier control and prevention of potential side effects. Also because there is less ester per vial, there is more actual testosterone per injection, which produces better results. The Propionate ester expands Testosterone’s half-life to about 4 and a half days.

Testosterone promotes nitrogen retention in the muscle – the more nitrogen the muscle holds the more protein it can store, and the bigger it gets. Testosterone also increases the body’s IGF-1 levels. IGF-1’s principal role is to coordinate growth and metabolism. IGF-I is highly dependent on growth hormone to complement it’s growth promoting activity.
