Testosterone Propionate

Testosterone Propionate is an injectable androgen and anabolic steroid used by athletes and bodybuilders to help the body metabolize proteins to increase muscle mass, strength, and recovery. It gives all the same effects as Testosterone Cypionate apart from the fact that it acts much quicker. Testosterone Propionate Injections should be administered every 2-3 days as it only remains active in the body for up to 2-3 days.

A popular dosage and cycle length for this particular steroid is 600mg per week for 20 weeks, which has been shown by multiple studies to have almost no negative effects. Testosterone Propionate is the most common testosterone hormone used as a steroid because of its fast-acting properties, it is often used along with other testosterone steroids to raise blood levels and to feel the effects sooner. Large dosages are administered in the first two weeks but are then stopped when the slower acting testosterone types start to kick in. Testosterone Propionate has the least side affects of any of the testosterones and causes less androgen (as testosterone) to convert into estrogen to case less swelling to the breast tissue and less water retention.

Body builders often take dosages of 300-200mg per week for males and 50-100 per week for females, although Testosterone Propionate is fast acting it can remain traceable in the body for up to 3 weeks.

Testosterone Propionate is available in two strengths, 100 mg per 1ml and 200 mg per 1ml. The injection is often sold in 10/20ml vials. Although this dosage can be tremendously painful if injected without Ethyl Oleate. If you search hard then it is possible to buy vials of Testosterone Propionate at 1ml but most sellers dispatch in vials of 10ml or 20 ml.
