Just found out my test blend dosage

**Prod** · 08-31-2007, 11:41 AM

test blend 300mg
=
test e 100mg
test cyp 100mg
iso propionate 100mg

now i was a little concerned with the propionate running at 100mg since I'm only injecting twice a week. But my supplier really pushing that it is iso propionate and that it kicks in really fast and should be fine.

i hope i heard right with the iso propionate cause i cant find anything on it.

i need a second opinion on this

never heard of iso propionate do you mean isocaproate? that is a 25 carbon chain ester so it has a moderate half life, in between propionate, a 22carbon chain(3-4days) and Phenylpropionate, a 28 carbon chain(1-3 weeks). Also why would they mix test e and test c? that makes no sense to me.

Alot of FDA approved pharms compound different blends. Test E and Cyp are used as a blend for HRT..( i had a blend from my doc 100 mg test E ,100 mg cyp and 50 mg prop..)

Also isocaproate is used in blends like sust.

I believe it's done I just do not understand the logic behind it. They are basicly the same. I understand the theory in test blends(e.g. sus 250) is to have testosterone with different active life so putting test e and test c seems to counter this logic. I am sure there is a reason I don't know what it is.

Some endocrinologist feel they get better results . They have different theories on this but what it all basically boils down to is some docs feel HRT patients get better results using blends.

They have slightly (very slightly) different half-lifes which can help with steady states and everybody acts a little bit different, so it's mixed...there is no real sense to it...

I have stuff right now that's very similar to that. I think it's 100 Cyp, 110 Enth and 40 Prop. I think next time I'll try to get straight Cyp or Enth. I don't seem to be getting much from this right now and I'm in week 5. Hopefully it'll start to kick in sometime soon.
