Testosterone Blends
I used to just see Sustanon once in a while. Now, there are many different blends or “pre-stacked” testosterone products around my area. They usually sell for $25 to $50 more than regular enanthate. What do you think of these? Are they worth the extra money, or should I stick with the basics?
In my opinion, these products are not worth spending any extra money on. Let me explain why I feel that way. Fundamentally, all esters of testosterone release the same active drug: testosterone. Just the release pattern is different with one ester to the next. Take Sustanon. Its 4-ester blend provides a steadier and longer release of testosterone compared to enanthate. In a clinical setting, it can allow a patient to receive injections less frequently, increasing comfort and compliance. Most “pre-stacked” products are similar compositions; mixes of slow, medium and long-acting esters to keep blood levels steadier for longer.
Drugs like Sustanon may be good if you are using testosterone for hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but I suspect you are not. If you are injecting once or more per week anyway, any benefit to Sustanon becomes difficult to see. A frequent injection schedule with enanthate will keep blood levels relatively stable, and there will be little chance for falloff between injections. With a pre-stacked product like this, you are paying for a benefit that you are never going to use; the “extended warranty plan” of anabolic steroids. And Sustanon aside, almost all of these products are made by underground labs. You are almost assured it is not a pharmaceutical product. If it were me, I’d first consider the legitimacy (safety) of the product, and then the cost per milligram of testosterone.
