MultiPharm HealthCare Testosterone C 10 amps (250 mg/ml)

Cypionaat testosteron

Is a long-acting formulation of testosterone designed to treat individuals with absent or extremely low levels of the hormone, also recognized as Depo testosterone. The Testosteron in this esterified form is available exclusively through injections. Typically suspended in sesame or cottonseed oil, it is administered into the buttock area, providing a slow release over 7-12 days. This white, milky powder is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents including vegetable oil.

Farmacologie

The body naturally produces sex hormones such as Testosteron, which are vital for the normal development of secondary sexual characteristics, including prostate and testicular growth, body hair development, vocal cord changes, and alterations in muscle mass and body fat. Testosterone therapy is essential for those with testosterone deficiency, addressing issues related to abnormal secondary sexual characteristics and infertility.

Indications for Use

Cypionaat testosteron addresses conditions where testosterone secretion is insufficient, such as:

• Primary testicular hormone production failure
• Inactive pituitary gonadotropin release

Bodybuilding

This testosterone derivative is popular among athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to enhance physical performance and mental drive. Users often report sudden energy bursts and increased aggression, making it especially favored by weightlifters and wrestlers. Many athletes assert that it amplifies their capacity for intense exercise. While possessing moderate anabolic properties, it’s also a potent androgenic agent, with effects not readily apparent for 3-4 weeks post-injection. Unlike oral formulations, Cypionaat testosteron remains in the body longer, promoting body mass and protein synthesis when paired with a calorie-rich diet. Bodybuilders often stack it with other hormones, but since testosterone converts to estrogen, there’s a potential risk for gynecomastia and water retention; thus, agents like Arimidex or tamoxifen are commonly included during cycles. Continuous use may inhibit natural testosterone production and spermatogenesis, necessitating a careful tapering off strategy to avoid fatigue, weight loss, and fracture susceptibility.

Contra-indicaties

Certain individuals should refrain from using testosterone due to potential adverse effects, including:

• Allergic reactions to the drug
• Men with breast or prostate cancer
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• People with liver, kidney, or heart conditions

Bijwerkingen

While low doses of Cypionaat testosteron typically yield few side effects, prolonged use can incur reversible adverse effects. Females using testosterone may experience irreversible masculinization symptoms. Common side effects include:

• Nausea, vomiting
• Abdominal cramps, diarrhea
• Swelling
• Libido fluctuations
• Headaches
• Acne, oily skin
• Emotional changes like anger, depression, insomnia
• Excessive sweating
• Haaruitval
• Gynaecomastie

Females may notice virilizing effects such as:

• Deepening of voice
• Hoarseness
• Increased body hair
• Vergrote clitoris
• Irregular menstrual cycles

Cypionaat testosteron can convert to estrogen, causing breast tissue enlargement and water retention, with these effects generally surfacing after four weeks of use. However, gynecomastia is reversible upon cessation of the steroid.

Overdosis

Overdose instances of Cypionaat testosteron are rare. Excessive dosage via injection typically leads to mild prolonged illness rather than immediate side effects, but a doctor’s visit is advisable if needed.

Dosering

In clinical applications, Cypionaat testosteron is administered intramuscularly, available in strengths of 100mg/ml and 200mg/ml, injected into the muscles, ideally the buttocks, every 7-12 days. Most testosterone is bound to proteins, leaving only 2% free. Although the standard protocol recommends weekly injections, some bodybuilders prefer bi-weekly dosing, which can increase the risk of abscesses and infections. The recommended dosage varies from 50mg to 400mg per week, with bodybuilders often using higher amounts, 200-400mg per week, to gradually absorb the drug into their bloodstream over days.

Controle

Cypionaat testosteron is categorized as a controlled substance under Class 3 of the Controlled Substance Act, requiring a physician’s prescription within the USA. Its possession, distribution, or sale without authorization is illegal.

Opsporing

The oily suspension results in prolonged retention in the body, with Cypionaat testosteron and its metabolites detectable in urine for 2-3 weeks post-injection. This long detection window prompts many bodybuilders to utilize the compound primarily during off-seasons.

Beschikbaarheid

Many bodybuilders source their Cypionaat testosteron from the black market, as the original pharmaceutical version is tightly regulated in the USA. Generic variants are often produced in Japan, Australia, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Thailand. Typical dosages range from 200-1000mg/week, with a 400mg vial in 2ml costing between $20-$40, easily accumulating to $200 monthly depending on usage. The reliability of purity and quality is often questionable in unregulated markets, leading to a prevalence of counterfeit products.
