It is testosterone OH
I think the original poster has his info a little askew. The site sells testosterone-OH. Here is what their site says about it:

What Is Testosterone-OH™
H.M. Gear's Testosterone-OH™ (4-Hydroxy Testosterone Decanoate) is almost identical to its "drug" counterpart Testosterone Cypionate/Enanthate but without the side-effects! Here are some specific FAQ's in regards to Testosterone-OH™:
Specific FAQ's For Testosterone-OH™
Why is your Testosterone-OH™ "safer" or "better" then regular testosterone?
Due to the addition of the hydroxyl group, our product doesn't convert to negative hormones of estrogen or dihydrotestosterone (DHT). So you will not have bloating, gyno, water retention, balding, etc. Please read the positive and negative effects of Testosterone-OH™ found below.
If it's so much safer, how come the pharmaceutical companies don't sell this compound instead of what's already on the current market?
Great question! It's really all about making money. There isn't a huge demand or need for steroids. Doctor's aren't prescribing it left and right. In fact, they can't due to its legal/illegal status. What's been around for decades (like Testosterone Cypionate) is unfortunately still being utilized today in the medical community, even though safer alternatives are available. But since there isn't a large demand for anabolic steroids, there is no need for the pharmaceutical companies to create or come out with better products. So, they simply use what they've been using for decades.
If this is "as good as" or "better" then its drug counterpart, then how come you can sell it as a supplement over the counter (OTC).
Simply due to politics and legal loopholes. How is that for honesty! But don't worry, these special "pro-hormones" will not be around forever because as we speak, the government and FDA wants to ban these type of products. One reason is they know they work and work better then their drug counterpart and now that they see money can be made, the government wants to turn them into prescription drugs so that the pharmaceutical companies and themselves can increase the prices and make money. This is why this month alone ( September ), we've seen a huge increase in sales because people want to stock up while they still can.
Will I see or feel the same effects from your Testosterone-OH™ as I would from regular Testosterone?
Yes ... it's the same, but without the water retention, so you will not gain as much "weight", but you will have the same amount of muscle gains. Most users report that our product is about 70% as strong per milligram dosage compared to regular testosterone. And this is mainly because one needs to take into account that the water retention from regular testosterone adds both "artificial" weight and strength. But again, this is very temporary and once you get off regular testosterone, you "piss" most of the weight gain away within a week or so.

Specific & Unique Benefits Of Testosterone-OH™
HMgear.com's Testosterone-OH™ contains the main chemical called 4-hydroxytestosterone. Basically, what we have done is "tweak" the position 4 on the testosterone molecule by adding a hydroxyl group. This in turn has eliminated most of testosterone's side-effects.
* NO conversion to estrogen. Hence, NO bloat, NO water retention, NO gynocomastia, NO female fat distribution and GREATLY reduced shut down of the HPTA axis (hence, your testicles don't shrink and keep working).
* NO conversion to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Which means NO male-pattern hair loss, NO excess body hair growth and NO prostate growth.
Those are the main unique benefits of Testosterone-OH™. In fact, pharmaceutical giant Searle, filed a patent on how to manufacture this modified form of testosterone back in 1956. But luckily for us (and YOU), they never released the hormone commercially and hence, why we are able to as an OTC "supplement".
4-Hydroxy Testosterone (Patent Pending by Searle)
As stated above, Testosterone-OH™ cannot convert to estrogen. But as another benefit, it is a direct precursor to the powerful "suicide" aromatase inhibitor 4-hydroxyandrostenedione (better known as Formestane). What this means is that Testosterone-OH™ becomes the world's most potent anti-estrogenic, anabolic steroid ever created for human use.
Plus, if that isn't enough, it even has HPTA regenerative qualities. This means, when used alone, you will see and INCREASE in HPTA activity while regular testosterone decreases HPTA and shuts you down and makes your testicles shrink. There is NO testicular shrinkage with our Testosterone-OH™ compound (no more "raisin nuts" for you!)
One last benefit to keep in mind ... with the use of Testosterone-OH™, you will NOT need any of the "anti" drugs such as Arimidex, Femara, Proscar, Dutasteride, Nolvadex, Clomid, etc. This saves you hundreds of dollar each cycle ... which can easily add up to thousands saved in the course of a year. This is a HUGE benefit.
Not to mention all the hassles of getting this additional drugs ... And we won't even go in to the legality issue.
SUMMARY: Testosterone-OH™ does NOT convert to estrogen or DHT and hence, doesn't have the usual testosterone side-effects such as water retention, gynocomastia, female fat distribution, hair loss, etc. It even reduces estrogen in the body and increases HPTA which means your testicles never shrink!

And it continues on about how it has all the positive effects but none of the negative side effects.
I have not heard of anyone taking this, and while it sounds good, I don't know if I believe their claims. They show a diagram of the chemical composition so maybe someone with a chemistry background can add some insight.
