ESTER CHEAT SHEET

[88general88]

Thought I would drop this for anyone who isn't quite familiar with the different esters and their half life's. I know everyone's body metabolizes things differently but for the most part these are on point.

Shouldn't Cypionate have a sightly longer half-life than Enanthate? As in the below:

Now we just need another chart comparing how the different carrier oils effect drug release. MCT vs castor and so on

A big thanks!

I have heard it both ways so am actually confused on this as well

pharma is primarily castor and GSO in the US right? Surely there would be some studies comparing the two

I believe compounding pharmacies use GSO the most, but for off the shelf products from the big pharma guys I'm not sure. The last time I saw a phizer test cyp come out of CVS it was cottonseed oil.

For me From normal pharmacy it was usually cottonseed and from a TRT mill compounding pharmacy it was usually GSO

Also, I’ve seen multiple charts all with different days listed.

I just do it the bro way.
Cyp once a week min
Enth E4d min
Prop daily
Ace daily
Phenyl EOD min

I posted some studies comparing carrier oils here a long time ago.

Can't find rn but my take home message was this: no big difference over the longer-term.

People choose carrier oils for reasons other than drug release/pharmacokinetics. Personal preference, ease of injecting, PIP, etc.
