Testosterone Suspension: The Oldest and Most Potent Steroid
Description: Testosterone Suspension, also known as Testosterone Suspsnsion, is the oldest steroid ever created. Essentially, it’s pure testosterone without any attached ester. This has its drawbacks because without any ester, testosterone won’t stay in the body for long, requiring daily injections, even multiple times a day. The primary advantage of pure testosterone is that users get the exact amount of testosterone present in the ampoule, and in Testosterone Suspension, the anabolic/androgenic ratio is 1:1, making it the most potent testosterone one can administer.
Effects and Action: Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for many physical and emotional traits in men. It deepens the voice, enhances sexual desire, aggression, and promotes larger muscles in men. Testosterone helps muscles retain more nitrogen, which in turn improves protein synthesis, resulting in greater muscle growth.
However, the downside of testosterone is its tendency to aromatize or convert into estrogen in the body. When there’s too much estrogen in the body, it can lead to the development of feminine characteristics such as gynecomastia, water retention, fat gain, decreased libido, and testicular shrinkage, which are the most common side effects of testosterone use.
Administration and Dosage: Testosterone Suspension is an injectable drug containing testosterone (no ester) in a water-based solution. Because testosterone is not highly soluble in water, the steroid will noticeably separate when the vial is left standing. A quick shake will put the medication back into suspension, at least temporarily, allowing it to be drawn in consecutive doses. Despite containing testosterone without an ester, contrary to common belief, this injectable steroid will maintain elevated testosterone levels for 2-3 days.
Among bodybuilders, “suspension” is an extremely potent mass-building testosterone. It’s often ranked as the most powerful injectable steroid due to its incredibly rapid muscle mass and strength gains. This is largely due to its fast action. Since this steroid is water-based, it will enter the bloodstream almost immediately after injection. Unlike Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate, which take a week to enter the bloodstream to reach peak therapeutic levels, the anabolic effect of this testosterone will be realized much faster than expected with oil-based steroids.
It’s also important to note that 100mg of testosterone with an ester is not equivalent to 100mg of pure testosterone (as in Suspension). When an ester is included, its weight is obviously included in the total milligrams of the preparation. In 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate, for example, only 72mg is actual testosterone. So, a bodybuilder using 400mg of Testosterone Enanthate weekly is getting 288mg of testosterone into their body each week.
Side Effects: As expected with a strong androgen, cessation can lead to a range of unpleasant side effects. Like with any testosterone product, there will be a high rate of estrogen conversion. Gynecomastia can develop quickly during a cycle, and in many cases, taking anti-estrogens will be necessary when using Testosterone Suspension to prevent testosterone from converting to estrogen.
Sensitive bodybuilders may opt for Arimidex, Femara, or Aromasin. These anti-estrogen medications are much more effective at controlling estrogen.
Another important consideration during a heavy cycle is monitoring blood pressure and kidney function. While testosterone stresses the liver very little, this product can be very taxing on the kidneys.
Of course, if athletes encounter significantly high blood pressure or urination problems (pain or darkening of urine), the cycle may need to be discontinued and a doctor visited.
Since it converts to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), oily skin, acne, increased aggression, and facial and body hair growth can be expected during a typical cycle. Propecia/Proscar would be a good idea for those prone to baldness, as this condition can worsen quite easily. Men predisposed to hair loss are better off staying away from this steroid.
The endogenous production of testosterone will be rapidly and effectively reduced when using Testosterone Suspension. This can lead to testicular shrinkage (atrophy). Some athletes will periodically take HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) during the cycle to keep this effect to a minimum. HCG can be combined with Clomid/Nolvadex.
In general, Testosterone Suspension is an extremely potent steroid but is also prone to causing many side effects. Those seeking a powerful mass-building product need not look any further; Testosterone Suspension will certainly get the job done.
