This product was
the first multi-estered blend of testosterone
available on the market, and was developed by Organon as an ideal HRT
(Hormone Replacement
Therapy) solution. To this day, most multi-estered
blends are often referred to as the “(drug name) version of Sustanon”
and many underground labs produce their own testosterone blends with a
different number at the end (ex: “Sustanon 250” or whatever). It was
meant to give the user consistently elevated blood levels of
testosterone over the course of a month, and thus eliminate the need
for frequent trips to the doctors office for injections. This drug was
very popular in the 80’s and 90’s, and was often thought of as being a
“stack” in one drug. This isn’t really accurate, because, in the end
all you have is testosterone once your body has metabolized it.
Lately, it seems that this product has fallen out the radar for the
most part, as it’s a bit expensive compared to other, single ester,
testosterone products.
Sustanon
will do exactly what any other form of testosterone will
do,
no more and no less. This means that it will cause muscle growth as
well as fat loss, by sending a message to your muscles to store more
protein (that’s its primary anabolic effect), while also protecting
your muscles from catabolic (muscle wasting)
[1].
It will also change
both the appearance and the actual number of muscle fibers in your
body
[2].
We also find that aggression levels rise with the use of any
form of testosterone
[3], and it
also increases erythropoiesis (red
blood cell production) in your kidneys
[4].
This higher Red Blood Cell
(RBC) count may actually improve endurance. Thus, it’s appropriate to
say that Sustanon will increase strength, size, aggression, and maybe
even endurance but certainly work capacity and recovery. More RBCs can
also improve recovery from strenuous physical activity. In addition,
Testosterone improves muscle contractile ability by two mechanisms:
increasing the number of motor neutrons in muscle
[5]
and improving
neuromuscular transmission
[6]. Also,
testosterone
is a well known
promoter of glycogen synthesis.
[7]
As with any form of testosterone, Sustanon will convert to the primary
female hormone estrogen (via a mechanism known as aromatization) when
it is metabolized by the aromatize enzyme. Estrogen can lead to side
effects, such as acne, the growth of breast tissue (called
gynocomastia), as well as fat gain and reduced fat breakdown,
testicular shrinkage and water retention. Testosterone is also
metabolized into Dihydrotestosterone
(DHT) by the
5alpha-reductase
enzyme. This is a more androgenic form of Testosterone, and DHT has a
high binding affinity to the tissues of both the prostate and the scalp
resulting in hair loss in loss in users who may suffer from male
pattern baldness.
Prostate
enlargement is also possible.
The only real downside to Sustanon
is its relatively high cost. When
compared with other forms of testosterone, you’re typically not getting
a very good buy for your money when you choose to use any multi-estered
product. However, as long as Sustanon remains easily accessible on the
black market, it’s going to be found in cycles for a long time to come.
