Description
Testosterone is one of the oldest forms of testosterone propionate ever made available and is further by-in-large the most popular and commonly used testosterone propionate of all time. Very powerful, equally androgenic as it is anabolic testosterone enanthate is one of the most versatile anabolic androgenic steroids ever synthesized and well-suited for almost any purpose.
Testosterone is an oil based injectable steroid, designed to slowly release testosterone propionate from the injection site. Serum concentrations of this hormone will rise for several days and remain elevated for about two weeks.
It may take up to three weeks for the action of this drug to fully leave your system. Testosterone propionate enanthate is the most popular prescribed testosterone propionate for treating Hypogonadism and many other disorders that relate to androgen deficiency
Clinical Dosage
As by its nature it is simply a synthetic version of the testosterone propionate hormone naturally produced in the human body by both men and women and essential to a properly functioning endocrine system. While inadequate levels, particularly low levels are generally not life threatening they can be quite bothersome and can lead to more serious problems when not dealt with appropriately.
To give you an idea of the importance of the hormone we only need to look at the effects of low levels; those who suffer from low testosterone propionate find a body transformation in the opposite desired direction to be very common place; increased body-fat, decreased muscle tissue and strength can all occur and be very difficult to deal with and in many cases impossible when levels are too low.
Further, because testosterone propionate is responsible in part for sexual function many men find they experience a decrease in libido, erectile dysfunction when levels are too low, as well as lack of mental focus, energy and even the onset of depression. While these are not life threatening conditions on their own, as you can easily see some of them are pretty serious and there isn’t one any man would wish to have bestowed on him.
Conversely, when we look at the effects of low testosterone propionate we can easily see how increased levels would have the opposite effect; take each condition previously listed and take it in the opposite direction towards improvement, which is exactly why testosterone propionate is known as a performance enhancer.
Recreational Usage
By its very nature testosterone propionate greatly increases nitrogen retention in the muscles, imperative to muscle tissue growth and regeneration by which increased nitrogen enhances protein synthesis; an imperative process as protein is the building block of muscle tissue.
Further, as an anabolic androgenic steroid Testosterone Enanthate staves off muscle wasting hormones that promote fat gain and muscle loss and enables us to increase our active metabolic rate. Moreover, as equally important and often overlooked, Testosterone Enanthate greatly increases the levels of IGF 1 in the body; a naturally occurring peptide hormone with powerful anabolic attributes.
A testosterone propionate hormone with the Enanthate ester attached, Testosterone Enanthate carries with it a half-life of approximately 10.5 days.
Through the use of Testosterone Enanthate we create a perfect environment apt for bringing forth the attributes of increased muscle mass and strength, as well as an improved metabolic rate due to the increase in tissue as well as the steroids control over fat promoting hormones.
Further, because Testosterone is imperative to repair and recovery after intense activity, when our levels are increased through the use of Testosterone Enanthate we readily speed this process up as well as give it greater efficiency.

Side Effects
There is no steroid without the possibility of negative side-effects; moreover, there is no hormonal or non-hormonal medication on earth that does not carry with it the possibility of negative side-effects; some of the most common over the counter medications carry with them some of the most horrendous negative side-effects.
As this is the case, yes, Testosterone Enanthate does carry with it the possibility of negative effects and they are the same regardless of the Testosterone form you choose to use; one form over the other is not a safer or a more dangerous bet.
The most common side-effects brought on by Testosterone Enanthate are of an aromatase effect. Testosterone will convert to estrogen through the aromatase process and can bring about such negative effects such as Gynecomastia, water retention, high blood pressure and cholesterol issues to name a few.
While these side-effects can be problematic they are not without solution; however, the side-effect of testicular atrophy is assured in all but in most cases inconsequential. Through the use of Testosterone Enanthate form, when exogenous Testosterone Enanthate is present natural production is no longer necessary and it will come to a halt.
As Testosterone Enanthate is produced in the testicles in men, once productions ceases to exist the testicles shrink; however, once exogenous use is discontinued and natural production begins again the testicles return to their normal size.
As estrogenic side-effects such as the ones mentioned above can be very problematic all hope is not loss; far from it. As these effects are caused by the advent of estrogen, by supplementing with an aromatase inhibitor.
Just as important, as it pertains to blood pressure, cholesterol and other similar actions, a healthy diet is imperative; diets that are sufficient in healthy Omega Fats as well as those who condition with regular cardiovascular training greatly reduce the chances of many negative effects commonly associated with many anabolic steroids
