How long before HPTA shutdown???

**chaos_theory** · 10-13-2005, 06:32 AM

I was wondering how long it takes for your hpta function to shutdown when on AAS?
I know each steroid is different eg tren shuts you down hard and fast etc
So if anybody has actual figures (Proper scientific evidence) for which steroids shut you down the fastest/slowest respectively and how long it takes for there to be changes in the hpta function ie. 1 week, 2 weeks etc.

I will also run a poll for this on a range of steroids (not all)

I will say var also. Anything that is a heavy androgen (tren , test, drol, etc) and/or converts to estrogen (deca , dbol , test, etc) is going to shut you down fast. Anavar is very low in androgens and doesn't aromatize, but obviously it is not as effective for muslce building. Winstrol and Primo are also similar to var in this respect.

Basically this information is all found in my profiles, and is referenced properly. Off the top of my head, is that Deca , at 100mgs (yes, one shot, one time) will cause 100% inhibition and your test levels won't get back to normal until 3-4 weeks later (Minto et al). Tren is 3x as powerful, as a progestin, and MUCH more as an androgen, compared to deca.
250-500mgs of test will take 1-2 weeks to cause 100% inhibition, and 100mgs will take 5-6 weeks. The exact numbers and answers to this thread, properly notated, is in each respective profile, where any such evidence exists or can be inducted.
