One of the most common mistakes is improper dosage and injection timing due to the lack of understanding of steroid esters and their half-lives
There are many misconceptions regarding the use of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.
The internet has become a dumping ground for useless information that people have come to rely on merely speculation for the most part to live out their daily lives..... Like it or not, many people use anabolic steroids without guidance. And to vary Frank Very few medical doctors are educated enough on anabolic steroids or hormone replacement to give the proper guidance. I work in the Medical Field Guys.
Steroid users that turn to the UGLabs for their steroid supply often use online bodybuilding message boards and Forums to try to learn how to use these drugs. When someone purchases a prescription drug at a CVS,the Pharmacy generally will supply a sheet of paper with the prescription that will explain how the drug is to be used, drug interactions, and side effects...ect
When a steroid user turns to an online message board or Forum for his information, he is usually taking advice or talking to an Indevidual That is there for the same reason the first Guy is on the Forum. This method to determine how to use any drug is not just an Un Educated idea, it can be down right dangerous! And I'm talking in General Everyone! I feel that we have come a very long way on our Forums!!! and the Membership on the Forums have become more knowledgeable! One of the most common mistakes is improper dosage and injection timing due to the lack of understanding of steroid esters and their half-lives.
Steroid esters are made up of the steroid molecule with a carbon chain attached to it. This carbon chain determines the half-life of the steroid, and solubility in the bloodstream. Each ester contains a different number of carbon atoms, and this is what sets them apart from one another.
*Hormon and Ester amount*
Base/ Suspension no ester
Formate-1 carbon ester
Acetate-2 carbon ester
Propionate-3 carbon ester
Butyrate-4 carbon ester
Valerate-5 carbon ester
Hexanoate-6 carbon ester
Heptanoate-7 carbon ester
Enanthate-8 carbon ester
Octanoate-8 carbon ester
Cypionate-8 carbon ester
Nonanoate-9 carbon ester
Decnoate-10 carbon ester
Undecanoate-11 carbon ester
The more carbon atoms present within the ester, the less soluble the steroid is in the blood stream, and this causes the half-life to be higher than with an ester with fewer carbon atomsThe steroid itself is activated when these carbon atoms are removed. The esterase and hydrolysate enzymes work by cleaving ( spliting/ sevoring )off these carbon atoms from the carbon chain. "PIP"Certain steroids have been known to cause injection pain and irritation. One example is testosterone propionate. This steroid will often times cause enough site irritation to cause localized swelling. Some people are more sensitive than others to this reaction, but in general, the shorter carbon chain steroid esters cause more injection pain. The less painful are the longer carbon ester chains such as decanoate, undecanoate, and cypionate.
Many people believe that 100mg of testosterone propionate contains 100mg of testosterone, and with this thinking, it is also believed that all testosterones, nandrolones, or any other steroid are equal in potency. The weight of the ester attached to the steroid must be taken into account! Testosterone suspension is not attached to an ester and 100mg will yield 100mg of testosterone. On the other hand, 100mg of testosterone propionate will contain only 80mg of testosterone and the other 20mg is made up of the propionate ester.
Steroid esters with a longer carbon chain weigh more than shorter esters such as acetate or propionate. With the longer esters taking up more space, there is less room for the steroid itself. Testosterone Enanthate contains 70%***** testosterone with the other 40% being made up of the enanthate ester. A typical 200mg dose of this steroid will yield 140mg of testosterone, while 200mg of testosterone propionate contains 160mg of actual testosterone....... MAKES SENCE RIGHT!!! Steroid esters with a HIGHER half-life than enanthate will weigh even MORE and even LESS of the steroid will be present.
It is recommended to schedule injection times based on the half-life of the drug taken. When dealing with long acting esters, levels of the steroid will generally build up over time. When the steroid has reached it’s half-life, half of the original dose is gone, and another dose will be taken. After a few months of this, the level of the steroid in the body can become extremely high. This is often very apparent with steroids like Trenbolone Enanthate, where levels become high enough after time to cause unbearable! Remember the last Artical I did, "Trenbolone... Nectar of the Gods".....night sweats, insomnia. dark Urine Agression.....ect.Some of the side effects from high blood levels of other drugs are not always immediately noticed as they are with trenbolone, but there could be long-term problems. Most people do not intend for levels of the steroid taken to get to an extremely high level, but this can be avoided by simply taking a LOWER dose of the steroid.
Mega loading also called Frontloading is the (practice where a calculated larger injection amount at once. here, this is how I understood it guys.
Basically Front loading simply means to increase the normal dosage of long half life injected during the first 2-3 weeks of a cycle. This increase is usually a doubling of the normal cycle dosage.
understanding of steroid esters is so important everyone, if you dont understand it you cant put a proper cycle together in my opinion.
so here is a "Ester Guide" for references Everyone.
