Overview and History of SUSTAMED 250
SUSTAMED 250 (also known as Sustanon 250) is one of the
most popular testosterone mixtures in the world. This supplement
was introduced only for pharmaceutical purpose. Because of its powerful
anabolic action, many bodybuilders use it for a
rapid increase in their muscle mass.
SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is a
mixture of 4 different esterified variants of
Testosterone, each in a particular ratio. Each type of Testosterone is acting at a different time
moment. The main difference between them is that they all have a different
half-life. The half-life of a compound means the time it takes for the
concentration of the compound to be reduced by one half in the body. Some of them
are faster, while others are a lot slower, in total ensuring overall action
over a long period of time.
The total strength of the blend
reaches the 250mg. Here are the amounts of testosterone you’ll find in 250mg:
•
30mg
Testosterone Propionate
•
60mg Testosterone
Phenylpropionate
•
60mg
Testosterone Isocaproate
•
100mg
Testosterone Decanoate
How SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) works?
First, the Propionate will enter your system, followed by Phenylpropionate, the
next is Isocaproate and the final ester is Decanoate. SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is very
popular because it offers stable testosterone levels.
The
half-life of each type of Testosterone is as follows:
•
Testosterone Propionate: 3 Days
•
Testosterone Phenylpropionate: 4,5
Days
•
Testosterone Isocaproate: 9 Days
•
Testosterone Decanoate: 15 Days
The use of this combination is very different from the use of
a single Testosterone ester, for example, Testosterone Propionate,
which is a single solitary product containing
Testosterone Propionate, and only Testosterone Propionate.
Sustanon was originally
developed by Organon in the
early 1970s as an ideal HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
solution. The main goal was that the different esters would be able
to provide a constant release of Testosterone hormone over
a months time. Initially, this product was developed for medical and clinical applications, not athletics. When used
in a medical setting, the user needs only to inject and administer the drug
infrequently compared to other forms of Testosterone.
SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is the European and international product and
was never approved for use in the North American prescription drug market. Now SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is mainly used by bodybuilders and people who are on Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT). SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is not what popular like it used to be, but it still experiences extensive use, especially among first-time users
and beginners.SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is a great choice for individuals who are experiencing medical conditions that necessitate the use of Testosterone,
and to provide a much more convenient and comfortable administration. Patients
who are prescribed SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) need only concern themselves with
administration perhaps once every 3 to 4 weeks.
Athletes and bodybuilders require totally different
administration routines, meaning that the blood plasma levels of Testosterone
would peak at around the same levels in the same period of time than any other
simple Testosterone product would. When used for physique
or performance-enhancing purposes, SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is meeting minimum requirements and expectations at a somewhat
higher price and more complicated and complex dosing and planning scheme
because of the combined Testosterone esters contained in the product. SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is a basic Testosterone product and is completely alike
Testosterone itself.
Testosterone is considered the father of
all anabolic steroids. Testosterone is the primary
male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid with
basic essential muscle-building capabilities such as affinity for the androgen
receptor in order to promote receptor-dependent pathways involved in fat loss
and muscle growth. Testosterone also affects muscle growth outside of areas
that are typically muscle-growth specific, such as the promotion of glycogen
synthesis.
SUSTAMED 250 Side Effects
SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) does have side effects which are typical of Testosterone
itself. The side effects include:
•
Estrogenic side
effects: due to the nature of Testosterone being an aromatizable anabolic
steroid it expresses an affinity for the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible
for conversion of Testosterone into Estrogen. Estrogenic side
effects include water retention and bloating blood pressure elevations (as
a result of the water retention), increased possible fat retention/gain, and
gynecomastia. SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is a very
powerful steroid and may cause serious side effects to the user. Those side effects are all dose and sensitivity dependent, higher dosages of SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) will increase the frequency and severity of side effects.
•
Androgenic side
effects: Testosterone will readily reduce into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in
various tissues throughout the body. This process creates an overall increase
in androgenic side effects, as DHT is a much stronger androgen than
Testosterone itself is. Testosterone hormone itself possesses moderate
androgenic strength, the problem lies in DHT, which is a much more powerful
androgen. Androgenic side effects include increased sebum secretion (oily
skin), increased bouts of acne (linked to increased sebum secretion), bodily
and facial hair growth, and the increased risk of triggering Male Pattern
Baldness (MPB) in individuals that possess the genetic trait required for the
condition to manifest itself. These side effects can be mitigated through the
use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and topical DHT antagonists, such as
Nizoral.
•
Virilization
(masculinizing) side effects: SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is not
addressed to women at all. Its strong androgens such as Testosterone will cause
intense hair growth, deepening of the voice, clitoral
enlargement, and menstrual irregularities which are inappropriate for
women.

•
SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) as any
other any injectable Testosterone product,
is non-liver toxic, which makes it a particularly popular choice among
many steroid users. Testosterone sometimes
has negative effects on the cardiovascular system, most notably on the negative
alteration of cholesterol profiles. When used alone, Testosterone promotes a
low to moderate reduction of HDL (‘good’ cholesterol), but recent studies have
demonstrated even worse alterations when it is combined with the use of
aromatase inhibitors, causing an additional increase in LDL (‘bad’ cholesterol)
and even larger decreases in HDL. Being
an anabolic steroid, Testosterone will initiate disruption, suppression, and
shutdown of endogenous Testosterone production, especially at bodybuilding
dosages.
SUSTAMED 250 Cycles and Use
SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) provides an initial spike in blood plasma
levels of Testosterone within 24 – 48 hours following administration. After
this, as a result of the larger Testosterone esters contained in the blend,
blood levels should remain elevated for a period of 21 days. As already
mentioned, the main purpose of SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is Testosterone replacement
therapy (TRT). Everyone who wants to run SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) cycles, should remember this
important fact.
The first indication
that SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) half-life characteristics should give is the
fact that SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) cycles need to be run for much longer
periods, typically 10 – 14 weeks. Even 10-week SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) cycles are regarded as being too short. SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) cycles often involve the use of only SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon), especially in the first-time
and beginner cycles. Being a Testosterone product,SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) can and is also used as a base compound in a
cycle containing other products. Beginner cycles can also include the usage of
at least one other compound, typically with the intention of mass and strength
gaining, and bulking. For example, SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) can be utilized for 12 weeks, combined with DIANAMED 10
(Methandienone) as a kickstarting compound during the first 4 – 6 weeks of the cycle.
Experienced users usually stack steroids together. Popular compounds are WINIMED 10 (Stanozolol) and Trenbolone. DECAMED 250 (Nandrolone
Decanoate) is also commonly combined with SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) cycles and tends to combine especially well
with it due to its longer half-life, and is suitable in longer cycle lengths of
12 weeks or even longer.
Dosages and Administration of SUSTAMED 250
Medical dosages of SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) on average are at 250mg administration every 3 weeks and are
normally adjusted according to individual needs as the physician deems
necessary. In the athletic
and bodybuilding circles, most beginner Sustanon dosages begin at around 300 –
500mg weekly. Usually, there is no need to increase SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) dosages beyond this range
especially when it is utilized with other compounds. Intermediate users often
venture into the realm of 500 – 750mg per week, that happens when SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) is used alone. Intermediate users will often
still remain in the 500mg weekly range when utilizing other compounds with it.
Advanced users are known to rise as high as 750 – 1000mg per week, this also
usually happens only when Sustanon is used alone and not with other anabolic
steroids.
Another common option is the use of TRT
level dosages of SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) to merely provide a base level of the hormone in order to
facilitate essential biological functions while other stronger compounds are
emphasized to promote anabolic effects. Users will often utilize SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) at 100 – 250mg per week and rely on other compounds at
higher dosages to experience performance and physique benefits. The effects
of SUSTAMED 250 (Sustanon) include
faster recovery, increased protein synthesis, and more nitrogen retention. You
must know what with this compound you will be replacing your own natural
testosterone production.
