Anabolic Androgenic Hormone | Long-Acting Ester
Overview:
Testosterone Enanthate is a long-acting injectable form of testosterone, designed for sustained release and stable serum concentrations. Commonly dosed weekly or biweekly, it’s a foundational compound in both clinical TRT and performance-enhancement protocols.
Key Specs:
• Concentration: 250mg/mL
• Half-Life: ~7–10 days
• Administration: Intramuscular injection
• Anabolic/Androgenic Ratio: 100:100 (baseline)
• Use Cases:
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT/TRT)
• Muscle mass retention and growth
• Strength and recovery enhancement
• Libido and cognitive support
Mechanism of Action:
Testosterone Enanthate mimics endogenous testosterone, binding to androgen receptors in muscle, bone, and CNS tissue. Effects include increased protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, red blood cell production, and modulation of mood and libido.
Typical Protocols:
• TRT: 100–200mg per week
• Performance: 250–500mg+ per week
• Cycle Duration: 8–14 weeks (common)
• Stacking: Often combined with other AAS (e.g., Deca, Masteron)
• PCT: Recommended due to HPTA suppression
Monitoring & Support:
• Monitor: Total/free testosterone, hematocrit, estradiol, lipids
• Common adjuncts: Aromatase inhibitors, support for cardiovascular health
