profile Andropen 275

  Andropen 275 is a mixture of five ester of testosterone produced by British Dragon, and is clearly an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Sustanon. In fact, if you are inclined to use blended products such as this (and personally, I am not more), then I think you will find that it is a product far superior to Sustanon.


Andropen contains 20 mg of testosterone acetate, 75 mg of testosterone cypionate, testosterone decanoate 90 mg, and 40mgs each of Testosterone Propionate and phenylpropionate in a 20 ml bottle. I am very impressed by the fact that this product appears to be designed specifically for bodybuilders and athletes, and certainly if I wanted to create a long, medium and short estered testosterone product, it would be something like this. In addition, due to this fact, I think I'd recommend shooting EOD, or E3D or so &. Giving you a very decent and relatively stable level of hormone in your body. A few years ago, I made a testosterone blend for my own use powders, which was essentially a five estered testosterone (the same esters as Sust + 100mgs of test with the Cypionate ester per milliliter). Anyway, now it seems that every Underground Lab is involved in this kind of thing. It is not uncommon to see a price list with several "custom blends" or "mixtures" house different estered testosterone (or sometimes trenbolone, or other).


Testosterone is a relatively cheap drug (the cheapest, actually, in terms of anabolics), and that is why it is not really a bad choice for blended products. In terms of "bang for the buck" is an excellent choice because it can do almost everything. It induces changes in the form and the size of muscle fibers (1). It can change the appearance and the number of muscle fibers (1), too, which is definitely a good thing for the cosmetic athlete (read: bodybuilder). Testosterone has the profound ability to protect your muscle from catabolic (muscle wasting) glucocorticoid hormones (2), but not as well as (for example) Tren or other drugs (more expensive). Glucocorticoid hormones send a message to muscle cells to release stored protein, while Testosterone sends a message to muscle cells to store more contractile protein (called actin and myosin). In this way, these two hormones are at war with each other to cause anabolic vs. catabolic effects. Usually they are in a stalemate (which is why you do not gain weight constantly, nor lose it). When you add in some Testosterone (such Andropen 275), you shift the scales in favor of anabolism, and away from catabolism. In addition, Testosterone has the ability to increase erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) in your kidneys (3), and a red blood cell top (RBC) count is highly sought after by many athletes because it can improve endurance via better oxygenated blood. More RBCs can also improve recovery from strenuous physical activity, and seems to give the most "complete" muscles look when bodyfat levels are quite low. Aggression levels often rise dramatically with the use of exogenous testosterone (9), and because some of the short esters Andropen 275, I'd expect this effect to become realized within the first day injection.


All these great benefits are to be had with the use of test enth alone, but realistically, it will be part of a cycle containing one or more other drugs. People who are bulking will probably choose Deca or Eq (possibly with Dbol as well) and those who are cutting will probably steer towards Eq and perhaps Trenbolone. Very often users will shoot this drug once or twice a week, but blood levels are still above baseline with this drug at around day eight (10). Common wisdom holds that the testosterone portion of any such cycle should be equal to or superior to another drug (s) portion injection (on a mg basis) and I think you can get away with less, but in general, c 'is a good guide.

The real benefit of this product, in my opinion, Sustanon is in its practice. As you know, I'm not a big fan of multi-estered products because it seems that it gives the manufacturer carte blanche to charge what they want. Well, this product costs about $ 150 for a 20ml, multi-use vial. Compared to buying Sustanon by the amp, you could pay up to $ 50 more for the same amount of testosterone. If you are looking for a product of this nature, this is the one I really recommend.

This product should provide less of the "bloated look" that an aqueous equal amount of (for example) testosterone cypionate would give, but more than you'd get with testosterone propionate. This makes it a possible choice for use in either a bulking or cutting cycle, or cycle the popular "lean mass" has been seeing lately, on Steroid.com. Of course, the usual side effects experienced with the use of testosterone would be expected with this product: acne, water retention, gyno, etc and so would all the positive effects we use testosterone for: muscle gain, loss fat, PTO, etc.

Really, as I've said many times, one main disadvantage of using blends of testosterone tends to be their high compared to tests of simple esters cost. If this could be done cheaply, it does not surprise me to recommend it.
