Testosterone undecanoate, how long till it kicks in?

[louiscypher]

I can't find Testosterone undecanoate in the profiles. Does any one know how long this stuff takes to kick in, and how long it works in your system? I read on a medical site that 3 shots in 10 weeks is what they give guys with low test levels.

[CHUCKYthentic]

undecanoate is a long ester

if im correct, i believe the active life is around 17 days, give or take

[louiscypher]

Same as any long estered test mate, 4-6wks depending on the individual.
Iv'e read the medical guidelines for TU and TRT, is this why you are using it?

Lats do you know the half life? Im finding conflicting numbers all over the place and i cant find a product insert or abstract that says definitively.

i would do same injection frequency as deca or eq, its only a bit longer than deca. once a week would be optimal.

I'm taking it in a cycle. It's a test blend with 150 mg/ml cypionate, 150 mg/ml enanthate, and 100 mg/ml undecanoate. I just wanted to know when I should start seeing results.

[bcbrett]

hey i am taking that same blend. On week five now. After the first week i put on 12 pounds and uncontrollable sex drive. All water weight. Around the 3rd week strength increased dramatically. I went from doing 110lbs x 6 on incline db presses to 135lbs x 6. I started to take armidex on week 3 .05 mg three times a week as well as increasing my cardio and decreasing my sodium intake. Lost alot of water retention but only about 2 pounds on the scale. As for how long its in your system i am going to start my pct 18 days after last injection.

[louiscypher]

thx bcbrett, Its been 14 days, I've put on a few pounds not 12 though wow. My first injection hurt brutal, I only did .75 ml, then cut it down to .5 ml for the next 2 shots, should I up the dosage? I've been doing a shot every 5 days.

[bcbrett]

Keep your shots constant. I am taking .8ml every 3.5 days. Injection site gets tender but nothing i cant handle. As for what you should use for dose i really couldnt tell ya. 500mg a week is pretty standard for first timers.

Thx bro

Lats do you know the half life? Im finding conflicting numbers all over the place and i cant find a product insert or abstract that says definitively.

Pharmacokinetic analysis showed a terminal elimination half-life of 18.3+/-2.3 and 23.7+/-2.7 days and showed a mean residence time of 21.7+/-1.1 and 23.0+/-0.8 days for the lower and higher doses, respectively.
These values are based on a single injection of 500mg and 1000mg respectively.

[peachfuzz]

thank you sir.

[louiscypher]

So is undecanoate a longer ester than enanthate?

[louiscypher]
