Testosterone Propionate: Chemistry And Pharmacology

Testosterone, from a chemical structure standpoint, is the same basic build as the endogenous version found in your body. The one exception for this form, and most others sold commercially, is the addition of a chemical delivery agent, in this case propionate.

This helps control the rate of release of the testosterone propionate, extending its action in the body, and its results overall, from only a few hours, to around 8 to 10 days.

This is an important consideration, not just for timing results and administration, which is discussed below, but also for keeping in mind if there’s a chance you will be tested for its use, which is also reviewed below.

Common Testing Protocols

There are two main types of testing that are undertaken by mainstream anti-doping agencies. One such test is an examination that reviews your testosterone to epitestosterone (an analogue of testosterone) in your body.

While the average male has a ratio of 1:1, most testing bodies allow for a ratio of up to 4:1 or 6:1, which gives many athletes significant wiggle room.

However, some testing bodies, such as the IOC, use carbon isotope testing, which more specifically tests whether the source of testosterone in your body is artificial or not. The latter of these would be harder to get by as well.

This is why you should always pay attention to potential testing periods and the active lifespan of the drugs your taking in your body, as well as their amount, in order to try to avoid a positive test in these circumstances.

Dosing And Use

Dosing with testosterone propionate in sporting and aesthetic circles can vary depending on factors like gender, goals, prior experience with anabolic use and individual sensitivity to its effects.

Commonly reported doses are between 50 to 200 milligrams every second day, which would be administered through intramuscular injection. This daily amount may also be used by more experienced users.

Meanwhile women could use 50 to 100 milligrams every second day.

Commonly Used Programs

Die to the fast-acting nature of this drug, it is normally used during periods where the goal is either maintenance of lean mass during periods of mass reduction, or during fast, but intense periods of mass gains.

These programs will normally last up to 12 weeks. But, some have reported their regular use for as long as a year. However, the latter length would drastically increase the risk of side effects.
