Description
Testosterone cypionate is one of the longest esters of testosterone available today. Its half-life in the body is approximately 15 to 16 days (half-life is 6-8 days). The drug is produced in the form of an oily solution. Due to the fact that it acts for such a long period of time, it can cause water retention to a greater extent than other anabolic steroids. Most often, ego is used in combined courses to gain muscle mass.
In the body, Dura Test (Testosterone cypionate) acts as a natural hormone. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is responsible for many physical and emotional qualities of a man. It causes a coarsening of the voice, sexual attraction, aggression and muscle growth. Testosterone works through anabolic receptors, forcing the muscles to store more nitrogen, from which, in turn, muscle proteins are created.
Dura Test steroid profile
- Anabolic activity – 100% of testosterone,
- Androgenic activity – 100% of testosterone (high),
- Aromatization (conversion to estrogens) – high (there is a need for anti-estrogens),
- Suppression of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis is pronounced,
- Liver toxicity – absent,
- Method of administration – injection form,
- Duration of action – 15 days,
- Detection time – 3 months.
Effects of taking Dura Test
Like all injectable forms of testosterone, Dura Test causes a significant increase in muscle mass and strength during the cycle. Since testosterone easily turns into estrogen, approximately 30% of the mass will be liquid, which is quickly lost after the end of the course. Athletes can count on the following effects:
Application and dosage of Dura Test
Despite the fact that the duration of the drug's action is quite long, injections are performed once a week to keep the concentration constantly high.
The average single dose is 250-500 mg per week, with the aim of gaining muscle mass. The drug gives good results when conducting a "solo" course. Practice shows that doses higher than 800-1000 mg do not lead to the best results, however, the risk of side effects increases sharply.
To block the action of estrogens, it is necessary to use Tamoxifen (10 mg per day, starting from the second week of the cycle and ending its reception 2 weeks after the end of the Dura Test). A more preferable option: use during the course of Proviron.
After the end of the introduction of Dura Test, Proviron should be replaced by Tamoxifen, to restore the secretion of own testosterone. The use of antiestrogens reduces the accumulation of fluid in the body, and also suppresses the development of gynecomastia.
If the duration of the course exceeds 4 weeks, it is necessary to use Gonadotropin 500 IU, 1 time per week during the entire course, starting from the 3rd week.
Combined course
The combined Dura Test course is not much different from the "solo" course. The drug is most often combined with Nandrolone in a dose of 200 mg per week. Cypionate dosage is on average 200 mg per week.
Side effects
The disadvantage of the medication can be called its ability to cause aromatization, which leads to the following effects:
- fluid retention
- gynecomastia,
- female-type fat deposition,
- loss of hair on the head.
Loss of hair on the head is expressed far from everyone. First of all, those who have a genetic predisposition (a case of baldness in the family) should be concerned about this.
To reduce the likelihood of negative reactions, you should take the drug according to an individual schedule and undergo a course of PCT.
Contraindications
Absolute contraindications to use are:
- individual intolerance to any of the components in the composition,
- prostate or breast cancer,
- pregnancy and lactation period.
