Does Equipoise raise testosterone levels?

Does Equipoise raise testosterone levels??
I am reading this profile on EQ.. and it states:

"It is a derivative of testosterone, which exhibits strong anabolic and moderately androgenic properties."

Does this mean there is actual testosterone in EQ? And will it raise your test levels?

NO.
testosterone is testosterone.
with deca, it too is a derivitive of testosterone, but is slightly different in structure, which completely changes the way it reacts with the body.
so to answer your question, no, if you use equipoise, your test levels will not go up, they will go down (unless you use injectable testosterone with it)

Point being this is why test should be the foundation for all cycles.. and reason EQ isnt.... research

Yeah, your test levels while on pure EQ would drop, since your body would decrease its output of natural test.
