This formulation is akin to PHARMA TEST 100 as it is also ester-free and functions as a pre-workout stimulant. The key distinction from PHARMA TEST 100 lies in its carrier; this version utilizes grape seed oil (consistent with all our injectable products) instead of a water suspension. Consequently, the effects of the oil-based Pharmatest 100 may last slightly longer compared to the original, though the difference is minimal.

Synthetic testosterone was first created in 1935 by German biochemist Adolf Butenandt and Swiss chemist Leopold Ruzicka, both of whom were awarded the Nobel Prize for their contributions.

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone that influences the development of the testicles and prostate, and it significantly contributes to the development of muscle tissue, bone density, and strength. Additionally, testosterone plays a crucial role in a variety of bodily functions, including overall health, well-being, improved libido, energy levels, immune function, prevention of osteoporosis (bone density loss), and potential protection against heart disease. Studies suggest that maintaining higher testosterone levels in older men can enhance several factors that are believed to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, including increased lean body mass, reduced visceral fat, lower total cholesterol, and improved glycemic control. It not only differentiates gender characteristics but also regulates thromboxane A2 receptor populations on megakaryocytes and platelets, influencing platelet aggregation in humans. Furthermore, it can affect behavior, mood, and personal relationships, with reports indicating it may even influence career choices. Research indicates that cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and spatial abilities are significantly influenced by testosterone. Preliminary data suggests that low testosterone levels might contribute to cognitive decline and potentially to Alzheimer's disease, a major consideration in life extension medicine advocating for testosterone use in anti-aging treatments.

Athletes commonly prefer testosterone due to its effectiveness in significantly boosting muscle mass and strength. As a naturally occurring hormone, it is the most widely used anabolic steroid and serves as the foundation for many cycles and stacks.

In bodybuilding, testosterone is typically administered as an injectable ester or suspension due to its poor oral bioavailability and the challenges of delivering high doses through transdermal or sublingual methods. All forms of testosterone fundamentally consist of the active ingredient testosterone combined with an ester that dictates the rate of release and the duration of the compound's effect. In summary, long esters gradually release the active component into the bloodstream, maintaining a stable hormone level over an extended period (depending on the ester) without causing spikes.

It's important to note that in men, around 5% of testosterone is converted to the more potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) through 5α-reduction. Additionally, approximately 0.3% of testosterone is converted into estradiol (the primary female sex hormone) via aromatase, an enzyme found in the brain, liver, and adipose tissue. Therefore, precautions to mitigate potential side effects should not be overlooked. We recommend conducting blood tests and considering aromatase inhibitors during the cycle (preferably anastrozole, if necessary) and using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like clomifene or toremifene during post-cycle therapy (PCT).
