Sustanon

 

 

 

A male body produces testosterone which is the chief and potent androgenic hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sex characteristics. Therefore, you won’t come across a better mass builder than this in the world. However, this specific hormone is very susceptible to side effects since it promptly transforms into a more androgenic form dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in androgen responsive tissues and generates estrogen with ease. However, all these characteristics also bring its utmost anabolic inclinations to the fore. An elevated estrogen level improves output of growth hormone, utilization of glucose, immunity, and promotes the androgen receptor. Similarly, a compounding testosterone and DHT becomes very powerful at triggering the androgen receptor and evoking substantial strength and size gains. Testosterone can’t be compared with any other steroids in terms of putting on muscle mass.

 

Sustanon in 250 mg strength forms a unique combination of 4 different esters of testosterone. The primary motive behind binding an ester to a steroid is to make it more lipophillic. Being highly lipophillic, it is capable of sustaining in the adipose tissue for longer when injected into the body intra-muscularly and is subsequently released in the blood stream with the passage of time. An ester needs to be longer to become more lipophillic. Sustanon 250 comprises 1 long, 1 short, and 2 medium length esters that are all delivered over time. Hence, Sustanon offers a quick as well as durable release in the blood stream. This particular characteristic of Sustanon has its own advantage and disadvantage. While it is a positive thing for patients necessitating testosterone therapy, it is not so good news for steroid users.

 

The risk of side effects is quite high in case of all testosterones. Sustanon is not an exception. Most of the time, users have to deal with the risks of both androgenic side effects like hair loss, benign prostate hyperplasia, or deepening of voice and estrogenic side effects like gyno, water retention, or fat gain. Ancillary drugs such as anti-estrogens need to be used to overcome these side effects. So, it is advised to all users of Sustanon to start any new cycle with testosterone with adequate amounts of Nolvadex and a few amps of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) on hand. Testosterone is not a toxic hormone at all. A user should not face any problems using Sustanon apart from a high incidence of normal steroid side effects.

 

The concomitant use of an aromatase blocker will affect the benefits obtained from Sustanon as it literally inhibits the production of estrogen. Androgenic side effects mentioned earlier can be lowered to a certain extent by using Finasteride that blocks the conversion of testosterone to its more androgenic constituent dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Though you can mitigate problems of hair loss and enlarged prostate using Finasteride, the stopping of such conversion may reduce the effectiveness of Sustanon and will intensify the risk of estrogenic side effects. Proviron is also a form of DHT. So, people who want to use an aromatase blocker with Sustanon anyway should of course opt for Arimidex over Proviron to keep androgenic side effects under control.
