Testosterone enanthate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone that is commonly used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and anabolic steroid cycles. As an __hormone, testosterone enanthate promotes the development of masculine characteristics like increased muscle mass, distribution of body fat, and maturation and function of the sex organs.
Testosterone enanthate is a long-acting form, which means it only needs to be injected 1-2 times per month, in contrast to shorter-acting forms like testosterone propionate. The trade-offs are that testosterone enanthate:
- Takes longer to start working after an injection (around 2 weeks)
- Leaves the body more gradually
Some key points about testosterone enanthate:
- Half-life is around 10 days on average. This means blood levels reach their peak 2-5 days after dosing and decline to near-baseline after around 3 weeks.
- Available in vials and ampules, typically containing 200-250mg per mL.
- Requires a prescription in most countries. Illegal without a valid medical need and prescription.
- Most common doses are around 200-500mg injected every 7-14 days for HRT or every 3-4 days in steroid cycles.
- Has potential side effects like acne, hair loss, mood swings, etc if misused or overdosed. Requires proper medical guidance.
