Testosterone Propionate
Testosterone Propionate is considered to be a very effective and well tolerated anabolic substance. One important note to point: Some people experience a negative localized reaction when using a Propionate ester. Propionic acid is used to make this ester and it is very similar in chemical make-up to the toxin released in ant bites. For many people, this is simply a small nuisance that the body adjusts to over a period of time. But for some people, the pain can be too much and compromises overall daily life and wellbeing. One way to reduce this potential side effect is to mix Testosterone Propionate with another anabolic substance in the same syringe, so as to dilute the concentration. But sometimes people find the best way to avoid this effect, if they experience it, is to avoid using the compound all together.
In conclusion, Testosterone Propionate is a very effect anabolic and androgenic substance, suitable for both TRT patients and performance athletes. For some, the shorter ester can mean less side effects as long as every-other-day injections are utilized. Still though, many people prefer longer esters such as Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate. Milligram for milligram however, there is very little difference in effects. The only thing to consider is that the weight of the ester determines how much of the rest of the compound is actual Testosterone. Since Testosterone Propionate is a shorter ester, every milligram of Testosterone Propionate you use, you are getting more actual Testosterone compared to a longer ester such as Testosterone Enanthate. While it is almost impossible to determine the exact difference, many users report that 100mg of Testosterone Propionate is about 125% stronger than 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate. But ultimately, with the more frequent injections needed, many people still prefer to use Enanthate and simply increase their dosage to compensate for the loss of potency.
