Athletes prefer
injectable steroids
over
oral
steroids for several reasons. First,
injectable steroids
pose lesser health risks than their oral counterparts. Injectable
steroids do not
have the 17 alpha alkylation of most oral steroids, a chemical
modification that is injurious to the liver. Instead, injectable
steroids have esters to make them longer-acting. Injectable steroids
also have lesser side effects compared to oral steroids sine they are
chemically designed to bypass the digestive system. Because for these
reasons, individuals who are into
prolonged
steroid cycles usually opt for injectable steroids.
Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. In general,
injectable steroids
which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based injectable
steroids. Both, of course, have much longer half-lives than oral
steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectable steroids
as they have high probability of being detected in
drug
screening since their clearance times tend to be longer that orals.
Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable steroids early in the
cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and
drug testing is imminent.
When using injectable steroids remember to inject them into the muscle
tissues, not into the veins. Remember also to sanitize
syringes, injection sites, vials, etc. to prevent infection from
occurring.
