What is it about the cypionate ester that makes it take 5-6 weeks?

[meathead320]

Most of your body is water(which is polar), the cypionate is hydrophobic or non-polar(it hates water) so it's hard for the body to "mix" and circulate the testosterone cypionate compound, once it does the ester(cypionate) is quickly metabolized and then the testosterone is used. A good way to visualize it is to put some oil into water, they quickly seperate and only at the interface do they make contact, that's whats going on in your body when you inject the test cyp. I hope this helps.

Ooookay, I think I see.

So it generally takes 5-6 weeks, for this to happen at the site of the injection?

Now, if that is so, taking 5-6 weeks, to start the 10-14 day life of the testosterone, then would it also stand to reason that the test really could be staying active in guys for 5-6 weeks, following the last injection of a cycle on the tail end?

So what guys are really "feeling" when they are noticing the effects, would be the shot they took 35-40 days ago, not the one they took yesterday morning?

yes and no. You will typically reach "peak" plasma levels within 24hours so it starts working right away but just at a much slower rate. To visualize, if you mix blue water with clear water you will almost instantly mix it all and thats what happens with water based gear. Now if you mix clear water with blue oil the blue will start to slowly seep into the water but at a much slower rate. The gear will only enter into the extracellular fluids at the interface of where the oil is touching the watery fluids of the cell, that ester attached to the testosterone wants to stay in the oil vehicle but the ones that are exposed to the water, the ones right on the surface of the oil touching the water will be drawn out and then the ester is almost immediately broken down and the gear circulated. The longer the ester the more it dislikes the water and the longer it will take to draw it out of the oil vehicle. So 2-3weeks later some of that gear from your first injection is still seeping out of the oil but by about 5-7 weeks of steady injections you will have a steady higher blood level of testosterone. So when I say yes thats why but when I said no it's because they are feeling the gear they just injected plus the last one and the one before that and etc. it takes a long time for ALL the gear to be circulated from just that first injection but it starts right away. this is also why you can test positive for many months after your last injection.
