Testosterone enanthate

What is testosterone enanthate?

Testosterone enanthate is an injectable form of the hormone testosterone. As one of the most widely used anabolic steroids, testosterone enanthate is primarily utilized for the therapeutic treatment of low testosterone (hypogonadism) in men.

Some key facts about testosterone enanthate:

• It is an esterified variant of natural testosterone with a slow-acting ester attached, which provides a sustained delivery and longer duration of action


• Used to treat symptoms of low testosterone like low energy, decreased muscle mass, low libido etc.


• Requires administration through injections - cannot be taken orally


• Detection time is 3-6 months due to longer ester


• Has potent anabolic (muscle-building) and androgenic (masculinizing) effects
