Testovis 1 vial/10 ml (100 mg/1 ml)

Testovis (Testosterone Propionate) by TN Pharma is one of the most popular steroids in bodybuilding. Testosterone propionate is intended for the development of muscle mass and strength, but due to the peculiarities of its action, it is more often used during the drying period. It is one of the esters of testosterone. We can say that the drug is the favorite testosterone among female bodybuilders, among those who use testosterone, i.e. its level in the blood is easier to control compared to other testosterone esters.

Testovis is characterized by its short duration of action. Injections are usually performed every other day. This is one of the main disadvantages of using propionate, compared to its longer-lived analogs, such as enanthate. The second major disadvantage is the higher cost compared to the same enanthate. It can be used both when working on mass and during the drying period.

Effects of taking Testosterone Propionate

1. increase in muscle mass;
2. increase in relief;
3. increase in power indicators;
4. increased libido;
5. reducing the risk of ischemia of the heart and coronary disease.

Has a short duration of action. Injections are usually given every other day. This is one of the main disadvantages of using propionate, compared to its longer-lived counterparts, such as enanthate. The second main disadvantage is the higher cost compared to the same enanthate. It can be used both when working on the mass, and during the drying period.

It is worth noting that the short effect of Testovis may be a plus. The fact is that each organism is individual and reacts to the drug in different ways. There are cases of intolerance to the components of the drug (as a rule, to the so-called solvent - oil, which contains testosterone), which may be accompanied by an allergic reaction. Due to the fact that this drug is quickly absorbed, an allergic reaction (if any) can also pass relatively quickly without causing serious harm to the health of the athlete.

Another feature of the drug is that with properly selected dosages, most athletes do not retain water in the body or these manifestations are minimal. Therefore, testosterone propionate does not cause a sharp increase in body weight by 5-6 kg in a couple of weeks, as when using the same enanthate, but the muscle mass gained using propionate will be leaner and of better quality. Once in the body, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, so the work of propionate can be felt after the first injection. And it comes out just as fast. For the above reasons, when working on mass, athletes prefer enanthate, and propionate is more often used for drying. Suitable for athletes of all skill levels, from beginners to the most experienced.

Action of Testosterone propionate

• specifically initiates the transcription of genes, thereby changing the nitrogen balance in a positive direction;
• increases the level of insulin-like growth factor in muscles and liver;
• causes proliferation of satellite cells in muscle tissue, due to which hyperplasia and muscle recovery occur.

It should be noted that all ethers have the same mechanisms of action, the difference lies in the activity and the predominant direction of action.

Use and dosage of Testosterone propionate

It can be as the only steroid on the course, but the best effect is achieved when combined with other drugs. Athletes who begin to use anabolic drugs can be recommended dosages of 50 mg of propionate every other day. The usual dose for more experienced athletes is 100 mg propionate daily and up.

Be sure to take antiestrogen medications such as Proviron or aromatase inhibitors on a standard schedule starting in the second week to avoid gynecomastia, fluid retention, and other estrogenic effects. After the end of the introduction, post-cycle therapy is carried out, most often Tamoxifen is used. Also at the exit, it is desirable to take cortisol blockers to maintain the gained mass. Be sure to follow a diet for weight gain and take sports nutrition.

Side effects

The most common complaint is pain, irritation and redness at the injection site, which is further exacerbated by the need for a high frequency of injections. Marked increase in aggression.

Side effects of testosterone propionate are due to the fact that it easily aromatizes and turns into estrogens and dihydrotestosterone, like any other testosterone ester, at high dosages it can cause:

1. gynecomastia;
2. acne
3. baldness of the scalp;
4. hirsutism (body hair);
5. prostate enlargement (especially in the elderly);
6. masculinization (in women).

The drug suppresses its own production of testosterone, which is usually restored at the end of the course after 2-3 months. With long courses, it is necessary to administer gonadotropin at 500 IU, 1 time per week, starting from 2. As practice shows, in moderate doses it does not affect the liver, kidneys, or any other internal organs. Not recommended for women due to high androgenic activity.
