What is testosterone cypionate?
Testosterone cypionate is an injectable form of the primary male sex hormone testosterone. It is often prescribed to treat low testosterone levels in men. Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
- Testosterone hormone: Testosterone cypionate is an esterified variant of the natural testosterone hormone produced in the body. It helps replicate normal testosterone levels.
- Muscle building: By increasing testosterone levels, testosterone cypionate helps stimulate muscle growth and strength gains. It is commonly used for bodybuilding and improving athletic performance.
- Medical uses: Testosterone cypionate is primarily used in testosterone replacement therapy for hypogonadal men who have clinically low testosterone levels due to certain medical conditions. It helps alleviate symptoms like low energy, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and loss of muscle mass.
- How it works: After injecting testosterone cypionate, the cypionate ester is gradually cleaved off over the course of days and weeks, releasing bioavailable testosterone into the bloodstream. This provides a slow and sustained testosterone release.
- Dosage and administration: Testosterone cypionate doses can range from 200mg to 2000mg per injection, with injection frequencies between 1-10 weeks depending on individual needs and tolerance. Proper dosage and frequency should be determined by a medical professional.
