Top 9 of testosterone esters

Now that you know a little about testosterone and its effects in general , we will go into detail with the different esters of testosterones available in the market .

In fact, there are several esters that allow each one to aim at a personal goal . With this choice of esters, you can compose your cycle with the greatest precision. An ester will affect the duration of the action of the product.

The ester allows to maintain the active principle in a shorter term or longer.

 

Testosterone Propionate

Testosterone propionate has a very short duration of action : 1 or 2 days only. It will bring great gains of mass and strength , but with the advantage of a minimum water retention, which will guarantee a denser and better-quality musculature .

Due to its fast action, this ester allows a significant increase of energy in the workout as well as a better vascularization already from the first days of the cycle.

It is not uncommon for users starting a cycle with testosterone propionate and continue with testosterone enanthate, which is an ester with a more lasting effect.

 

Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate

RecoveryClomid
Take 1 tab per day for 20 days after the final day of your cycle.

Testosterone enanthate is one of the most commonly used forms of delayed-release testosterone.

The duration of its activity in the body is 2 to 3 weeks.  Therefore, an injection of 250mg a week is sufficient to maintain a high level of testosterone in the body.

It produces a very fast gain of strength and weight, with a high level of water retention and gynecomastia, however . Your protections and your recovery will be fundamental.

The effects and properties of testosterone cypionate are identical in all respects to those of enanthate. The action of testosterone cypionate will be a bit longer than that of the enanthate ester.

The effect of the enanthate is slightly shorter, but it contains more testosterone per one gram of weight.

It has the advantage of not being hepatotoxic as it is absorbed by the lymphatic system and does not pass through the liver.

It is often combined with oxandrolone to obtain great gains in mass and strength.

Associated with Parabolan and a salt-free diet , it allows to acquire good muscle density by minimizing water retention.

Unless this product is prescribed by a doctor, I do not recommend it in the bodybuilding world. This is due to its extremely prolonged action.

This medication is, in fact, convenient for use in a medical environment for a testosterone replacement cycle for men over 40, for example.

If you are inclined to the undecanoate, it is better to resort to the oral route rather than the injectable one.
