What is Cypionate?
Testosterone cypionate is a type of anabolic steroids used to increase muscle mass while decreasing fat mass. As testosterone cypionate is considered to have a “perfect score” with regard to its anabolic rating, it is used as a bench mark and comparison with most other anabolic steroids. Cypionate is taken usually via injection, but also could be administered using an oral pill, or with an adhesive skin patch. Endogenous androgens such as testosterone cypionate are the chemicals responsible for masculine characteristics, including thickening of the vocal chord, growth of body and facial hair, and maturation of the penis, scrotum, seminal vesicles, and prostate. Taking testosterone cypionate will also reduce excretion of sodium, potassium, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorous. The more nitrogen that can be stored in the muscles, the greater efficiency the muscle will have at storing and using proteins. Testosterone cypionate causes cells in the muscular tissue to become more active. Anabolic-androgenic drugs such as testosterone cypionate are only available as a prescription medication from your health care provider in treatment of a variety of serious conditions. While recreational use of the drug may have appealing benefits, there is also a plethora of negative side effects that can be irreversible and detrimental to the user’s long term health.
Testosterone cypionate is the male sex hormone testosterone that has been modified and treated to allow it to be oil soluble, and so the drug will be released steadily into the body over a period of a week. Users of testosterone cypionate usually take it as a carefully measured dosage on a four week cycle in order to achieve maximum results. As the drug is metabolized in the female sex hormone estrogen, the undesired negative effects can include symptoms such as gynocomastia (growth of breast tissue in men) that can only be removed via a surgical procedure, increased water retention, and reduction of the testicles. The additional retention of water will also increase the risk of high blood pressure. With long term use, testosterone cypionate will alter it’s beneficial properties of altering fat mass. While initially decreasing fat mass, over time the body will revise the way it accepts testosterone cypionate into the system, and will begin reduce the process of breaking down fat. This will lead to the opposite effect of fat gain and the potential for clogged arteries. Recreational users of testosterone cypionate believe that by only using the drug for shorter cycles (some anabolic steroid cycles last twelve weeks) that they can use these disadvantages to profit their regimen, by using the drug as a period of bulking up.
Testosterone cypionate is taken by many recreational users as the ground point of their anabolic steroids routine. It is relatively inexpensive, and widely available. Because the drug is so versatile, many men use it to round out their customary schedule. However, testosterone cypionate is listed as a controlled substance under the Anabolic Steroids Control Act. Of course, the best solution is just to monitor and balance the body’s nutritional requirements with a carefully developed workout plan. Natural muscle earned through determined hard work is more beneficial to the body and more rewarding.
