Active Life?

[CaliburKid]

I guess I'm pretty slow. I've been reading about some AAS here on the forums, mainly under the steroid profile portion of the forums. what exactly is Active Life mean? For instance Dianabol is 6-8 hours, Anadrol 50 is <16 hours and Test E is 15 days. Now is active life exactly what it states, how long the product stays active in your system. So say you were taking 60mg of d-bol, to get more of a steady dose, could one say take 20mg at 4/5am, 20mg around 11/12noon, and the last 20mg at 6-8pm. Since it's active life is 6-8 hours, this would be 6-8 hours between each dosing.

Now Test E is saying 15 days. However I thought one takes Test E every three days or, so I'm curious about this active life...

Anadrol 50? would it be best to just take the dose right around lunch ED?

Thanks!!

My own interpretation:

I think you mean the half life, example: if you take 20mg of substance (A) and the half life is 2 hours, then 2 hours after you take substance (A) your body will only have 10mg of substance (A) and so on.....

Is this clear enough for you

I'm not too sure if half life is onsidered active life. If you go to the steroid profile(s) of random steroids on this forum, they state it as active life. For instance d-bol is considered to have an active life of 6-8 hours...So I was thinking you would/could break d-bol into 6-8 hour doses...I don't know...

It can be a bit confusing.

The terms ‘Active’ and ‘Half’ life are often used synonymously, and at least in that respect, often have the same meaning. Specifically they represent, how long a drug stays in your body at its OPTIMAL dosage/effect. This is just like the Dbol examples above.

Half-life does however, take this concept further because you necessarily experience several of them prior to the drug being TRULY no longer active in your system.
