Testosterone enanthate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is often used in hormone replacement therapy and to treat conditions caused by low testosterone levels.
When injected, testosterone enanthate enters the bloodstream and travels to cells throughout the body. It binds to and activates androgen receptors which influence many body processes. Some effects of testosterone enanthate include:
- Muscle growth - Testosterone stimulates protein synthesis which enables muscle cells to grow and repair from exercise and daily use. This leads to gains in muscle size and strength, especially when combined with strength training.
- Fat loss - Testosterone increases basal metabolic rate and promotes fat-burning. Many people notice decreased body fat and a leaner physique when undergoing testosterone replacement therapy.
- Bone density - Testosterone supports bone mineral density and strength in both men and women. It reduces the risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis later in life.
- Sex drive - Testosterone is a key hormone that regulates libido and sexual function in both sexes. Testosterone therapy can reverse low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
- Mood and cognition - Healthy testosterone levels are linked to good mood, motivation, and cognitive abilities. Low testosterone can negatively impact these.
- Body hair growth - Testosterone causes increased rates of facial, body, and pubic hair growth. This leads to a more masculine, virile appearance.
There are also some potential side effects to be aware of with testosterone therapy:
- Acne or oily skin
- Sleep apnea worsening
- Gynecomastia (breast tissue growth)
- Testicular atrophy
- Elevated red blood cell count
Management under a doctor's care is advisable to mitigate side effects and optimize treatment. Getting bloodwork and following dosing guidelines are important.
Many forms of testosterone therapy exist, including gels, patches, pellets, and oral preparations.
Testosterone enanthate is one of the most popular for muscle building and performance enhancement because it is long-acting.
A typical beginner cycle is around
400-500 mg injected once weekly for 10 to 12 weeks. More advanced users often dose higher or combine compounds. Proper post cycle therapy is vital for maintaining gains and hormonal balance.
