Testosterone Enanthate

What Is Testosterone Enanthate?

Testosterone Enanthate is among the most popularly prescribed Testosterone Therapy Treatments in the world. For better or worse, it is also popular among those that use Testosterone for Performance enhancement. Testosterone Enanthate is one of the cheapest forms of Testosterone Therapy available, while also being one of the most effective and safest. Most men with Low-T have minimal issues with Testosterone Enanthate Treatment.

Testosterone Enanthate Composition

Like most Testosterone Injections, Testosterone Enanthate is a Carboxylic Acid Ester Compound. Esters are attached to Testosterone molecules to form a medical compound which slowly releases Testosterone into the blood stream over time. The more esters that a Testosterone Molecule has, the longer that a single injection provides Testosterone. Both the Testosterone and the Ester compound are synthetically derived. Testosterone is produced in a laboratory environment, and is 100% identical to that which is produced by the human body.

As the Testosterone Ester degrades, this slowly provides a stream of Free Testosterone to meet the body's needs. As with all Testosterone Esters, there is a general pattern in which Testosterone Levels ebb and flow. After Testosterone Enanthate is injected, the body receives a surge in Testosterone, generally at some point one full day to two days after injection. After 48 hours or so, Testosterone Levels balance out and begin to slowly drop, necessitating an injection every seven to ten days for maximum stability, though some doctors may recommend up to a 14 day schedule for certain patients.

How to Inject Testosterone Enanthate

Testosterone Enanthate is delivered via intramuscular injection, as are most other forms of Testosterone Replacement Injection Therapy. Before delivering the injection, you may be required to reconstitute the Testosterone Enanthate, saturating the lyophilized powder so that it can be injected into the body. After the Testosterone Therapy is reconstituted, it is then delivered into muscle tissue. Most Low-T Injections are a combination of a Testosterone Ester and an oil solution. Upon injection, the ester compound slowly breaks down, providing a steady stream of Testosterone which enters the blood stream.

Testosterone Enanthate Benefits

Testosterone Enanthate provides the same great benefits as any other form of Recombinant Low-T Therapy. Testosterone Enanthate is highly effective at treating the symptoms of most forms of Testosterone Deficiency, and is popular for the treatment of Andropause, also known as Age-Related Low-T. For men suffering from Testosterone Deficiency, Testosterone Enanthate has the ability to increase muscle mass, improve mood, enhance sexual desire, and more. Many patients even experience improved sleeping habits. There is even some evidence that suggests, when used as directed, Testosterone Therapy can be beneficial to cardiovascular health in patients with legitimate Low-T.

Testosterone Enanthate Results

Testosterone Enanthate is one of the most popular forms of Andropause Therapy because it works and requires injections only once every week to two weeks. Most patients suffering from Andropause or Idiopathic Testosterone Deficiency experience significant results in a matter of months. As with Human Growth Hormone Therapy, you should expect to experience a modest accrual of benefits culminating over the course of around six months. If you combine your HRT Therapy with a strong diet and exercise plan, you'll experience the best possible results. Testosterone Enanthate is a quality means to improve and sustain Testosterone Levels.

Testosterone Enanthate Risks and Side-Effects

Like any form of Testosterone Therapy, Testosterone Enanthate does carry a risk of side-effects. The most common side-effect of Testosterone Therapy is suppressed natural Testosterone Production. The body recognizes that Testosterone Levels are in the healthy range, and signal for lower Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Production. This both reduces natural secretion of Testosterone by the testes and adrenal glands, and it impairs sperm production. Another common side-effect of Testosterone Treatment is reduced fertility, due to this suppressed sperm production. Using HCG Injections can help support both natural Testosterone Production and promote fertility during Testosterone HRT.

Other less common symptoms include increased risk of blood clots, gynecomastia (breast enlargement), increased prostate size, mild water retention, and acne. When used as directed for the treatment of a legitimate deficiency, these symptoms are much more rare. When Testosterone is abused, the risk of these symptoms increases significantly.

Testosterone Enanthate vs Testosterone Cypionate

These are the two most commonly used forms of Testosterone Injection, both for legitimate HRT Use and for Performance Enhancement (we do not condone the use of Testosterone without a legal prescription). Like most forms of Testosterone Injection, the primary difference between the two HRT Injections has to do with their half-lives. Testosterone Cypionate stays in the blood stream longer, owing to its larger ester-chain (seven carbons for enanthate, eight carbons for cypionate).

Whereas Testosterone Enanthate reaches its half-life in around ten and a half days, Testosterone Cypionate does so in about 12 days. Patients that opt for biweekly injections may be more interested in Testosterone Cypionate, but both are quality forms of HRT Treatment. Enanthate has a wider market-reach in Europe, whereas Cypionate is more widely available in the United States, so this is also a factor.

Testosterone Enanthate vs. Testosterone Propionate

Testosterone Propionate was the first intramuscular Testosterone Injection ever produced, and is the precursor for all that followed it. Testosterone Propionate only has one ester, compared to the seven-ester Enanthate. Testosterone Enanthate is rarely used for Hormone Replacement Therapy, because it requires an injection every 1-3 days, which is too much for most people when other alternatives are available. Testosterone Propionate has found a niche in the bodybuilding community, however.

Testosterone Enanthate Injections Vs. Other Forms of Testosterone

Testosterone Injections are just one of many forms of Testosterone Replacement Therapy, all of which are highly effective at treating the symptoms of Age-Related Testosterone Deficiency and other forms of Low-T. Other common forms of Testosterone Treatment include Testosterone Creams, Low-T Patches, and Implanted Testosterone Pellets.

Testosterone Creams are applied topically to the skin, making them a relatively low-fuss way to use Testosterone Therapy. Of course, these creams require daily applications, whereas Low-T Enanthate Injections only require an injection every seven to ten days, making it less of a hassle to remember each day.

Testosterone Injections do have a slight pain associated with them, which may be a factor in whether you are interested in Testosterone Enanthate, though there are products which are designed to mitigate the mild pain associated with injections, and most patients consider it nothing more than a mild discomfort.

Testosterone Patches are similar to Low-T Gels in that they are applied daily, but Patches are adhered to the skin in the morning and taken off daily, providing a slow leech of Testosterone through the skin for the entire day. Testosterone Injections have an advantage over Low-T Patches and Creams in that there is a risk of washing off the patch or cream when swimming or performing other activities in water. Patches are fairly resilient, but you still have to be careful. Water is only an issue for Testosterone creams for a brief period after application, however.

Testosterone Implantation is the only form of Testosterone Therapy that lasts longer than Testosterone Injections, but Testosterone Implants are the most invasive form of Low-T Treatment. Testosterone Pellets are surgically inserted under the skin, usually in an outpatient setting. The surgery doesn't take long, and the pellets provide a stream of Testosterone which lasts for three to four months. Of course, Low-T Implants are more expensive than other forms of therapy for this reason, so most patients that are interested in a more long-term approach still usually opt for Testosterone Enanthate and other similar Testosterone Injection formulations.

Where can I Find Testosterone Enanthate?

If you are interested in Testosterone Enanthate for Low-T, understand that it is easy to acquireif you have a prescription. We strongly discourage anyone from using Testosterone Injections or any other form of Testosterone Therapy without a prescription from a licensed and reputable medical professional. There are also Testosterone Therapy clinics located all across the United States that can help you find out if you suffer from Low-T, and if you are eligible for Testosterone Replacement Therapy, or any other form of HRT Treatment.

Human Growth Hormone is Illegal if Imported into the United States from Foreign Sources

An act known as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Also referred to as FDCA) places tight restrictions upon the types of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment which can be brought into the United States. Under almost all circumstances, it is illegal to import pharmaceuticals that have not been granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.

In addition to this, the FDCA also prevents any drug that has been exported overseas to be returned to the United States, unless it is returned to the United States by the manufacturer. There are a few examples where prescription drugs can be brought back into the country after they have been exported, but under most circumstances, it is illegal for an individual to bring foreign medications into the United States.

Food and Drug Administration Individual Importation Exceptions

The FDA recognizes that there are certain circumstances where a particular unapproved drug may offer some special benefit to an individual patient. There are four criteria that must be met for an individual to import a drug not approved by the FDA:

Saizen Human Growth Hormone Replacement Therapy

Saizen is one of a small, but growing number of legal HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy medications in the United States. Saizen is produced by the pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck Serono. Merck Serono is one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. This company is not to be confused with the domestic pharmaceutical company Merck & Company, and in North America, Merck Serono is known as EMD Serono. Saizen is an injectable form of Synthetic Human Growth Hormone.

The History of HGH

Originally, HGH Hormone Treatments were made from real Growth Hormone harvested from human tissue, but in the year 1981, medical researchers were able to figure out a way to synthetically produce Bio-Identical HGH in a laboratory. Before it was possible to manufacture Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone, HGH treatments were far more costly than they are today, and as a result of this breakthrough, and others since, Human Growth Hormone Injectable Therapy has continued to become cheaper and more affordable to the average consumer.

Saizen Human Growth Hormone is Simple and Easy to Use

Saizen HGH follows in that legacy of making Growth Hormone cheaper and easier to use. The following are a number of products released by Serono in order to perform HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy:

Saizen HGH Therapy Administration Devices

Saizen Cool.Click HGH Treatment

The Saizen cool.click is a revolutionary means of delivering Human Growth Hormone. Although the HGH is still delivered subcutaneously via injection, the Saizen cool.click does not need a needle! The cool.click works by creating a small hole through which Saizen Human Growth Hormone is delivered. This tiny hole is produced using a spring mechanism. In the past, many people have been nervous about HGH Hormone Replacement because before this point, the only way to deliver HGH was directly through a potentially imposing needle. Many people just can't commit to any medical therapy which requires them to stick themselves with a needle every day.

Although the Saizen cool.click was the first needle-free means of delivering HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy, EMD Sorono has updated the design to increase ease of use, comfort, and accuracy, with an updated version known as the Saizen cool.click2.

EMD Serono lists the following features of the Saizen cool.click2:

• Needle-less delivery This form of HGH Delivery vastly reduces needle anxiety.

• Easy-to-read LCD monitor The monitor displays dosing information and can ensure that a patient delivers exactly enough Saizen HGH in order to properly treat his or her HGH Deficiency.

• Thoughtful shape and design the Saizen cool.click2 is ergonomically configured in order to maximize ease of use.

• Reduced noise the cool.click2 is much quieter than its previous design, allowing you to deliver HGH without bringing attention to yourself.

• Reverse dosage dialing this mechanism allows the patient to adjust and readjust dosage at any point before administering HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy.

• Alterable injection pressure This HGH Injection Tool lets you adjust the rate at which the spring mechanism pierces the skin, allowing you to minimize potential discomfort at the injection site.

• Safer than needles Because of the way that the cool.click2 is designed, there is virtually no risk of accidentally pricking yourself. The spring mechanism only exposes itself at your command, and you don't have to cautiously prepare a needle for every injection.

• Delivers doses in both milligrams and milliliters the cool.click2 can adapt to different measurement scales, allowing you to dose accurately in regard to both mass and volume.

HGH Therapy with Saizen Easypod

Like the Saizen cool.click, the Saizen easypod is another product produced by EMD Serono which is designed with comfort and ease of use particularly in mind. The easypod is a simple-to-use injection device which quickly and accurately delivers injections of Bio-Identical HGH.

The easypod is what is known as an easy injector. This means that the easypod is a means to deliver injections of HGH without the vigorous protocol of a standard needle injection. The Saizen easypod has the capability of quickly and automatically titrating the appropriate dose of HGH. Upon pressing the trigger button, the machine automatically provides an injection of Human Growth Hormone, minimizing the amount of potential contact the you will make with the needle.

The Saizen easypod exclusively uses cartridges known as Saizen click.easy in order to deliver the intended dosage. The click.easy device serves two primary purposes. First, the click.easy is a reconstitution device. The Saizen Human Growth Hormone is combined with a fully sanitized solution in order both to rehydrate anhydrous HGH and to convert the Human Growth Hormone into a deliverable form. Second, the click.easy is a delivery device.

The click.easy is designed and shaped in a way which allows the patient to use it in combination with the Saizen easypod in order to maximize safety and ease of delivery. The Saizen easypod can be used repeatedly in order to deliver HGH injections as long as it is properly maintained, and new needles are use for every injection. The easypod has a large monitor which allows patients of all ages to easily see and understand the instructions and options provided by the device.

The easypod also provides multiple means of decreasing discomfort associated with injection. The individual patient can adjust injection administration via four distinct settings: Needle Speed, Injection Speed, Injection Depth, Injection Time.

HGH Easypod Settings

Needle Speed This setting adjusts the speed at which the needle is injected through the skin. Using this method is much more precise than performing a manual injection.

Injection Speed This refers to the rate by which the Saizen Human Growth Hormone is delivered into the body. This setting is a substitute for manually adjusting the speed using the plunger of a needle.

Injection Depth With this setting, you can alter the depth at which the needle descends. Dependent upon the location of the injection, different depths may be required. In addition to this, some may find that deeper injections cause increased discomfort. Injection depth also depends upon which needle the patient uses.

Injection Time This prompt controls the amount of time that the needle remains in the skin after injection. Some patients find it more comfortable to increase the time between injection and needle removal.

The Saizen easypod also maintains a diary of past injections, allowing both you and your physician to have a record of your injection schedule. The goal of the Saizen easypod is to reduce the effort it takes to undergo safe and effective Human Growth Hormone Injections while also minimizing pain or discomfort which can result from the use of needles. The easypod even allows you to input expiration dates to ensure that you dispose of your reconstituted synthetic Human Growth Hormone as soon as it becomes expired and ineffective.

Saizen one.click HGH Injector

The Saizen one.click is another means of injecting Saizen Human Growth Hormone. Like the easypod, the one.click is another injection device which focuses on being easy to use. The one.click is a much simpler device than the easypod. This product is mechanical only and features no monitor or electrical equipment of any kind.

The one.click has an adjustable dial which controls how much Human Growth Hormone you inject in a single dose. In addition to this, you can also adjust the depth of the needle injection manually. One of the primary advantages of the Saizen one.click is that it is simple to store and easy to carry and conceal. Also, because the one.click is a completely mechanical device, it is cheaper than the easypod while also being easier to use than a standard injection.

The Saizen one.click automatically delivers the HGH injection with a single click, minimizing the time it takes to deliver the injection. The device itself also minimizes potential inappropriate contact with the needle as well. As with all forms of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone, the reconstituted solution should be stored at temperatures between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit in order for the hormone to remain effective and useful.

Saizen click.easy

The Saizen click.easy is the simplest injection device that Merck-Serono provides. This product still has the capability of injecting HGH Hormone Replacement Therapy quicker and more simply than a standard injection, but lacks all of the bells and whistles associated with the other Saizen Delivery Devices. This product still minimizes needle exposure and also delivers a subcutaneous injection with a single click, however. This device is for patients who want a quick and easy way to inject HGH Therapy without the need or desire to make more precise adjustments with other more high-tech injection devices.

How is Saizen HGH Supplied?

Saizen is generally provided to the patient via two means:

HGH Direct Injection

For patients who are not interested in using the Saizen Delivery devices listed above, there is the option of simply delivering the Human Growth Hormone via needle and syringe. For patients who are interested in administering HGH in this way, Saizen is available in vials. Saizen vials are available in two different sizes. Both 5 milligram vials and 8.8 milligram vials are available. These vials contain lyophilized Bio-Synthetic Human Growth Hormone. HGH is highly sensitive in its normal form, and must be freeze-dried and hermetically sealed in order to survive periods of extended storage and transport. When the Saizen is ready to be used, the powdered HGH must be reconstituted with a diluent. The diluent is a sterilized, clear solution that does not interact with the HGH molecule and can deliver the medication into subcutaneous tissue.

HGH Cartridge Delivery

For patients who wish to use delivery devices such as those listed above, Merck-Serono provides Saizen HGH Cartridges which are designed especially to be used with Saizen Human Growth Hormone Administration Devices. Saizen cartridges contain both lyophilized Human Growth Hormone and the sterilized diluent, separated by a small barrier. When you are ready to use the Saizen HGH Cartridge in one of the devices listed above, you will insert the cartridge into the device and follow the instructions provided with the device in order to combine and reconstitute the solution. After the cartridge of Human Growth Hormone has been activated and given time to fully hydrate, the solution is ready for injection. There are a few different options for the Saizen Cartridge, and these options are dependent upon both the size and strength of your individual dose.

Saizen Questions

At what Temperature Should Saizen be Stored?

Like all forms of Bio-Identical Human Growth Hormone, Saizen must be properly stored in order to remain potent. Lyophilized Saizen which has not been combined with diluent can be safely stored at room temperature (between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit). After reconstitution, Saizen should always be refrigerated, except when it is immediately going to be used for injection. Reconstituted Saizen HGH should be stored between temperatures of 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit.

Does Saizen Contain Preservatives?

Saizen does contain preservatives in order to maximize the length of time that HGH is stable and usable. The vial form of Saizen contains benzyl alcohol, and the cartridge form of Saizen contains metacresol.

How Often Should I Take Saizen Injections?

The frequency with which you administer HGH Hormone Injections is completely dependent upon your physician's advice. Generally, injections are delivered once daily, just before bed, but there are a number of other options available which will not have a negative effect on your therapy. Nightly injections are thought to have the most beneficial effect on sleep and the cortisol cycle. Some prefer to take their doses early in the morning, or before engaging in exercise. Injecting before exercise is believed by some to increase the effectiveness of exercise, reducing fatigue and feeling of exhaustion. Some physicians even recommend that certain patients take two small doses each day rather than one larger dose once per day. It all depends on your age, goals, and needs as a patient.

What Are Saizen's Side-Effects?

The majority of patients will suffer from no side effects, or only the most minor symptoms. The most common symptoms are injection site irritation and possible headaches. Adult patients may rarely experience increased blood sugar, joint pain, and swelling as a result of Saizen. If any of these symptoms occur, please talk to your doctor.
