TESTOLIC

Testosterone propionate works much faster than other testosterone esters such as cypionate and enanthate. This results in a much more frequent dosing schedule. Normally, propionate is injected at least every other day, and some athletes even prefer daily injections. Propionate is convenient during pre-contest cycles because, thanks to its fast clearance times, it can be used up to 2 weeks before a show. Doping users claim that compared with the longer-acting testosterone esters, it has a very fast onset of effects that appear within two days, with a significantly stronger pump effect, increased training energy, strength, and appetite. In addition, it does not cause significant water retention in the body. The side effects of testosterone propionate abuse are reportedly less severe and less common than those of depot testosterone forms, but there is a risk of severe acne, hair loss, body-hair growth, and deepening of the voice with prolonged use or misuse of higher doses. The risk of gynecomastia is said to be minimal, despite the mild aromatization of the compound, and its toxic effect on the liver is also considered low.

A dosage in the range of 25–100 mg every other day is mentioned.

What role does testosterone play?

It is involved in sperm production, increases libido in both men and women, plays a role in the development of the penis/testicles, and influences secondary male sexual characteristics such as facial and body hair growth and deepening of the voice. For bodybuilders, however, its main role is to contribute to muscle-building properties in which androgens promote protein synthesis.

Low testosterone levels can cause a number of unpleasant effects on the body, such as heart problems, erectile dysfunction (ED), low energy levels, depression/anxiety, anemia, infertility, polyuria, dry skin, poor sleep, increased abdominal fat, high cholesterol, and gynecomastia, to name a few. As you can see, testosterone is a very powerful hormone linked to many different attributes. Testosterone is produced in the testes in men, and in women it is produced in the ovaries; men naturally have about ten times more testosterone than women. If you suspect that you suffer from low testosterone levels, it is advisable to seek medical help and possibly be placed on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy).
