[What is #5] Testosterone Undecanoate

in #science8 years ago

Testosterone Undecanoate is a steroid which is administered orally, it offers slower increases to muscle mass, strength and conditioning. Offering similar properties to Methyl Testosterone with less damage to the liver.

Testosterone Undecanoate is usually administered with caster oil and propylene glycol laurate, which allows the compound to be absorbed through the small intestine via the lymphatic system as a fat-soluble, protecting the liver and preventing the steroid from losing some of its properties.

The side effects in Testosterone Undecanoate are minimal with no effects to blood pressure, the prostate and less converted androgen into estrogen showing less signs of water retention and enlarged breast tissue. This particular type of testosterone can be quite expensive. With the peaking of testosterone levels occurring only two hours after taking and an active life of around 8-12 hours you would have to take at least 2 40mg capsules every two hours, continually to see any significant effects. For these reason, you will see a higher number of older athletes and body builders using Testosterone Undecanoate for less intense training and to lower risks to the body.

Testosterone Undecanoate can be found in 40 mg capsules although there is an injectable form of Testosterone Undecanoate which comes in a 4ml, 1000mg single dose vial.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WOMEN.
