Testocyp – a steroid of anabolic and androgenic effects from the Indian pharmaceutical company Alpha Pharma. The active substance is testosterone cypionate. The form of the drug is injections, in packs of 10 mg and 10×1 ml, with a dosage of 250 mg / ml. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, which accelerates the synthesis of protein and increases muscle mass. In the body muzhchin is produced by Leydig cells, in women it is secreted by the ovaries (in minimal amounts). The test air used in TestoCyp is one of the longest. Its period of complete decay is about half a month. Prolonged action reduces the frequency of injections, but causes an increased accumulation of fluid on the course.
Effects
All injections of Testocyp cause a dramatic increase in muscle mass and strength. Because testosterone is simply transformed into estrogens, approximately 30% of the mass will be a liquid that drastically disappears at the end of the course. The extra level of estrogen stimulated by this substance has all the chances to quickly lead to the development of gynecomastia, expressed as a swelling or condensation near the nipples. To prevent this from happening, Altamofen (Tamoxifen Citrate) or Promifen (Clomiphene Citrate) should be used during the course. Antiestrogens minimize the effect of estrogen, while increasing the effect of anabolic steroids. You also need to take aromatase blockers. Testosterone is considered the main male androgen, so it is also possible to develop the embodied androgenic secondary results. In many ways, their severity can be related to the rate at which testosterone in the body is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This substance is considered a metabolite of testosterone, responsible for the formation of androgenic results associated with the administration of Testocypa. These include: acne, hair growth on the face and body, baldness (the loss of hair on the head is expressed only in a small number of people). Worry about this can athletes who have a genetic predisposition to baldness. To avoid this side effect, use Proscar, which overlaps the reincarnation of testosterone in dihydrotestosterone. Proscar significantly reduces the risk of allopecia, and also reduces the possibility of the onset of other androgenic results.
Recommended dosage
Alpha-Pharma Testocyp is recommended to be injected at least once a week. This helps maintain the concentration of the substance in the blood constantly high. To accelerate weight gain, due to muscle growth, it is necessary to limit to a single dosage equal to 250-500 mg. Despite the fact that the drug in the amount of 800 to 1000 mg. A week is able to increase the effectiveness of the course several times, exceeding the recommended upper limit of 500 mg., Still, it is undesirable. Alpha-Pharma Testocyp, with an overdose, can cause a number of side effects. To eliminate them, starting from the second week of the course, tamoxifen is applied, in the amount of 10 mg. per day. Also, at the end of taking the steroid, a course of restorative therapy with the use of proviron is carried out.
Side effects
The most common are estrogenic side effects from TestoCyp. Typical problems for steroid courses are the phenomena of gynecomastia and acne. However, they can be minimized by taking Clomid or Nolvadex (or other aromatase blockers). Since testosterone cypionate in the body turns into dihydrotestosterone, it is possible such androgenic phenomena as increased blood pressure, facial and body hair growth, baldness, etc. I must say that the nature and severity of side effects largely depends on the genetic predisposition of a particular athlete.
