Developed by the pharmaceutical firm Organon,
Sustanon 250 is an oil-based testosterone blend.
Sustanon 250 is an injectable steroid with four
testosterone esters – propionate (30mg) phenylpropionate (60mg), isocaproate (60mg), and decanoate (100mg). Why the four esters?
Esters
create a depot (thus some injectable steroids have “depot” on their
names) on the site of administration, and from within the muscles the
hormone is released in sustained manner. The role of esters is
basically to make the synthetic hormones to resist immediate
metabolism. Because of esters, the hormones are released steadily to
prevent fluctuation in blood levels. The rate at which the hormones are
released depends on the weight and length of the esters; some may take
days, while some may take weeks. The longer and the heavier the ester
attached, the longer the active life of the steroid.
In the case of
Sustanon 250,
the propionate and the phenylpropionate esters have relatively shorter
active lives. Propionate has only one to two days of active life while
phenylpropionate has four to five days. Because of these two esters
Sustanon
250 provides you immediate kick, so to speak. Isocaproate and
decanoate, meanwhile, are longer-acting esters; these two ensure that
the Sustanon 250 continues to exert tissue building active for a long
time, oftentimes lasting for a month. Isocaproate and decanoate has
active life of two and three weeks, respectively.
These
characteristics guarantee that you’re going to get immediate and
sustained anabolic activity from Sustanon 250. Also, you won’t need to
endure frequent and uncomfortable injections since
Sustanon 250
stays active in the blood for a long while. The usual administration
with this steroid is ever 10 days. Sustanon 250 is effective if
administered 250mg per week or 500mg every 10 days.
The feedback
with this drug is good; many say that with Sustanon 250, you need
relatively lower dosage but still get impressive results. With other
testosterone,
you have to take higher dosages, and the dosage requirement climbs up
as the body becomes tolerant to the drugs. And since Sustanon 250 is
effective with conservative dosages, you’re less likely to experience
side effects. Side effects commonly associated with steroid use are
mostly dose dependent. This means with Sustanon 250, you’re getting
less fluid retention, less inhibition of the
endocrine system, less liver damage, and so on.
As with other testosterone-based steroids,
Sustanon 250
has potent androgenic and anabolic effects. Thus, this compound is
preferred during mass cycles as it drastically increases muscle mass
and strength. Plus, with Sustanon 250 you’re getting lesser estrogenic
side effects and water retention (as mentioned above) compared with
testosterone cypionate and
testosterone enanthate. In this regard,
Sustanon 250 is particularly beneficial if you’re planning to cut up since it can yield ‘cleaner’ and qualitative muscle mass.
If
you’re a beginner, you can gain qualitative 20 pounds within a couple
of months using 250mg/week of Sustanon 250. If you’re taking higher
dosages, it is prudent that you use anti-estrogen agents like Nolvadex
to mitigate estrogenic side effects. As with other synthetic steroids,
Sustanon 250 can also inhibit the natural production of testosterone,
thus a post-cycle therapy consisting of Clomid or HCG is
necessary.
