Testosterone Suspension

Chemical Name: Testosterone
Drug Class: Injectable Anabolic Steroid

Testosterone Suspension is injectable testosterone suspended in a water base. Since it’s got no ester attached, you get the most testosterone possible for your money.

Testosterone Suspension was first developed in the 1930's, and is the “simplest” testosterone preparation to manufacture. Many underground labs suspend this product in propylene glycol or oil instead of water, but this makes for a very painful injection. 

Realistically, it will perform just as any other testosterone will, although dosing is necessarily going to be a daily (and painful) affair. Testosterone Suspension will enter and clear your body very rapidly, producing the host of anabolic and androgenic effects that any other form of testosterone will: increased nitrogen retention in the muscle (1)increased levels of the growth factor IGF-1 in both the muscle tissue and liver(2) increased the activity of satellite cells(3)Androgen Receptor mediated muscle gain and fat loss, a reduction in catabolic glucocorticoid hormones (4), increased red blood cell production (5), possible protection against coronary disease (6) and increased aggression.(7)

Personally, I use testosterone suspension immediately prior to a workout or competition, to increase aggression, but not for much else. I think that’s the current trend among athletes as well, and we usually don’t see testosterone suspension being used for much else- with the exception of its inclusion in “natural” bodybuilders pre-contest routines, owing to the fact that they can stop using the stuff a few days before being tested, and still test clean. Athletes in drug tested sports organizations also use it for this reason.

The availability of this compound is quite high, although demand is relatively low. Expect to pay roughly $50-100 for a 10-20ml bottle dosed between 50 and 100 mgs/ml.
