What Is Testosterone Phenylpropionate?

 

This version of Testosterone was first popularized under the name “Testolent” and was produced by the Sicomed Pharmaceutical house. For awhile, is was a rare find on the black market, but the recent availability of various powders and the emergence of all the various underground labs, have made this version of testosterone more readily available. It’s simply Testosterone with the  Phenylpropionate ester attached, which we usually see more commonly attached to the Nandrolone base compound, giving us Durabolin (often called NPP, which is short for Nandrolone Phenylpropionate). I guess this would be called “TPP” for short…

This particular ester gives us an active life of 4-5 days, falling just between the Propionate (short) and Cypionate (long) versions of Testosterone. I recently had the opportunity to try this compound, and actually like it quite a bit- it’s perfect for someone like me who likes short esters like propionate, but is too forgetful to inject every other day! Clearly, you’d get best results shooting this compound every third or fourth day, or roughly twice a week. Other than the unique ester, there’s nothing much to say about TPP that isn’t applicable to any other form of testosterone.

Personally, I’ve experienced less water retention with TPP when compared with testosterone Cypionate, or Enanthate, and really no more than I’ve experienced with Testosterone Propionate.

Testosterone exerts its effects by promoting increased nitrogen retention in the muscle. Testosterone also increases levels of the growth factor IGF-1 in both the muscle tissue and the liver.Testosterone, regardless of the ester, also has the ability to increase the activity of satellite cells, which play an active role in repairing damaged muscle. Testosterone exerts these effects primarily by genomic mechanisms, meaning that it binds to the androgen receptor (AR) and initiates gene transcription to deliver its message. Stimulation of the AR promotes various of the AR dependant mechanisms for both muscle gain and fat loss, as well as reducing catabolic glucocorticoid hormones, and increasing red blood cell production.

Testosterone, once in the body, can be converted to both estrogen (through a process known as aromatization) as well as Dihydrotestosterone (through a process known as 5alpha-reduction). Estrogen is typically the catalyst for many side effects such as gynocomastia, water retention, etc…while DHT is often behind hair loss and prostate enlargement.

Due to its recent reemergence on the black market, and high availability, the cost of TPP is currently low, and I predict it will become very popular in coming years.

Testosterone-Phenylpropionate has the shortest duration of all testosterone esters with the exception of Testosterone-Propionate, and this is the reason it has been branded ineffective. (frank at chembj.com) With a 3 to 4 day duration in the body, it prevents water retention in the muscles of the body more easily than large ester version; a very desirable effect at that. After the use of Testosterone-Phenylpropionate the effects start showing in a snap. In this little time, an athlete will feel aggressive and stronger. He will have an increased appetite; no wonder the use of Testosterone-Phenylpropionate to treat people with muscle wasting ailments. For those who have issues with injections, this may not be the steroid for you since injections are the only way of administering it.

Testosterone Phenylpropionate plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissue such as the testis and prostates. In addition, testosterone cypionate is essential for health and well-being as well as the prevention of osteoporosis, testosterone Phenylpropionate is conserved through most vertebrates, although fish make a slightly difference from called 11-ketotestosterone.

Testosterone Phenylpropionate is a steroid hormone from the androgen and is found in mammals and other vertebrates, testosterone Phenylpropionate is primarily secreted in the tests of mails and the ovaries of female, although small amount are also secreted by the adrenal glands, testosterone Phenylpropionate  is the principle male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid.

 

Testosterone is a hormone produced predominantly in the testes of males. It is responsible for nearly all of the sexual traits in males. This specific version is Testosterone with the Phenylpropionate ester attached. Testosterone Phenylpropionate has an active life of 4-5 day. Release time-wise, it is directly in the middle of the Propionate (short) and Cypionate (long) versions of Testosterone. It is recommended to inject Testosterone Phenylpropionate two times per week, although many prefer every third day.

 

Testosterone is responsible for promoting health and well-being through enhanced libido, energy, immunity, increased fat loss, gaining and maintaining lean muscle mass, preventing Osteoporosis (loss of bone density) and possible protection against heart disease. Testosterone is also responsible for normal growth and development of male sex organs and maintenance of secondary sex characteristics.
