PHARMATEST 100 (testosterone base) consists of pure testosterone without any attached ester, and it has a remarkably short half-life of just 2 hours. This is the most concentrated form of testosterone currently available. PHARMATEST 100 is known for its use as a pre-workout enhancer that boosts aggression and power during intense training sessions and competitions. It is important to note that this product is a water suspension, not an oil.

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 sexual hormone, playing a vital role in the development of the testicles and prostate. It significantly influences muscle growth, bone density, and strength. Additionally, testosterone is crucial for numerous bodily functions, including general health, well-being, increased libido, energy levels, immune response, prevention of osteoporosis, and possibly reducing the risk of heart disease. Maintaining elevated testosterone levels in older men may enhance various factors linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, such as increased lean body mass, reduced visceral fat, lower total cholesterol, and improved blood sugar control. This hormone not only influences gender characteristics but also helps regulate thromboxane A2 receptors in megakaryocytes and platelets, affecting platelet aggregation. It impacts behavior, mood, and romantic relationships, and may even influence career choices. Research indicates that testosterone significantly affects cognitive functions, including attention, memory, and spatial awareness. Preliminary studies suggest that low testosterone levels might increase the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s dementia, providing a strong argument for incorporating testosterone into anti-aging therapies.

Athletes often favor testosterone for its capacity to significantly enhance muscle mass and strength. As a naturally occurring hormone, it remains the most widely used anabolic steroid and is typically the foundation for various cycles and stacks.

In bodybuilding, testosterone is primarily administered through injectable esters or suspensions due to its poor oral absorption and the impracticality of high-dose transdermal or sublingual methods. All testosterone forms generally contain the active ingredient testosterone plus an ester, which influences the rate of release and the duration of the compound's effects. In simple terms, long esters release testosterone slowly into the bloodstream, maintaining stable hormone levels for an extended period without causing spikes.

It’s worth noting that in men, around 5% of testosterone is converted to the more potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) through a process called 5α-reduction. Additionally, approximately 0.3% of testosterone is converted into estradiol (a primary female sex hormone) by the enzyme aromatase, which is present in the brain, liver, and fat tissue. Therefore, it is essential to take precautions to mitigate potential side effects. We recommend conducting blood tests and using aromatase inhibitors during your cycle (anastrozole is preferred) and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like clomifene or toremifene during post-cycle therapy (PCT).
