How does synthetic testosterone

[ilovelamp]

compare to endogenous testosterone. I had a buddy of mine trying to convince me that by using HCG you get more of a benefit mg for mg, test produced in the body vs test you inject. Is there any research behind the idea that endogenous testosterone is any better than synthetic? It has the same chemical formula (once cleaved from the ester) so it makes no sense why he's trying to say its any different.

Also, does a lab draw for testosterone specifically show testosterone only? The testosterone attached to the cypionate ester does not show up because it has a different chemical structure, right?

Thanks

Test is test it all the same
The ester is added into the carbon chain at a certain position to help with time released absorption.
Your friend doesn't have a clue to be honest
Taking hcg whilst not taking testosterone is a dangerous move to be honest.

And yes cyp shows up on lab results for testosterone
It's only an ester that's cleaved away by the body it's not masking the fact it's attached to testosterone

Synthetic Testosterone is the exact same as endogenous Testosterone.

Only difference may be whether or not an ester is affixed to the Testosterone molecule, which only affects its rate of release and half-life in the body. The body's enzymes will break this ester off the anabolic steroid, and what is left over afterwards is Testosterone that is 100% identical to endogenous Testosterone, free to do its job in the body.

Nope. It doesn't show up as test on bloodwork unless it is freed from the ester.
