Testosterone enanthate

What is testosterone enanthate?

Testosterone enanthate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. It is an androgen and anabolic steroid used mainly to treat low testosterone levels in men.

Some key points about testosterone enanthate:

• It is a long-acting testosterone ester with a half-life of 4-5 days. This means injections can be done less frequently than faster-acting forms.


• It is used for testosterone replacement therapy in men who have low natural testosterone production (hypogonadism). Restoring testosterone levels can relieve associated symptoms.


• It has potent anabolic effects to build muscle and improve physical performance. However, it is a controlled substance and banned in most professional sports.


• Brand names include Delatestryl® and Optimal Health Hormone Clinic® Test-E. Both contain testosterone enanthate as the active drug.

So in summary, testosterone enanthate is a versatile testosterone preparation. *It can effectively restore normal hormone levels in men who need it for medical reasons. Under a doctor's supervision, it may also aid muscle growth and athletic ability.

Some key questions people may have:

How is testosterone enanthate administered?

Testosterone enanthate is given by intramuscular injection, typically into the buttocks or thigh muscle. Injections are usually done weekly or every 2 weeks. Proper injection technique is important to ensure effectiveness and avoid complications.

What are the side effects?

Potential side effects include acne, oiliness, hair loss, prostate issues, testicular atrophy, mood changes, gynecomastia, and changes in cholesterol levels. However, most men tolerate physiologic testosterone replacement well under medical guidance.
