Testosterone enanthate is an esterified variant of the natural male sex hormone testosterone. It is one of the most commonly prescribed forms of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), used to treat low testosterone levels or hypogonadism in men.
Some key points about testosterone enanthate:
- It is designed to provide a slow and steady release of testosterone into the body over an extended period of time. The enanthate ester attached to the testosterone molecule controls the rate at which the hormone is released.
- Compared to other testosterone variants like cypionate or propionate, testosterone enanthate has a longer half-life of around 7-10 days. This means less frequent injections are needed, often every 2-4 weeks.
- Common doses for TRT range from 100mg to 200mg per week. Does this dosage sound reasonable for your needs? The medical professionals at Hormone Harmony can help determine the optimal protocol.
- When used properly under medical supervision, testosterone enanthate effectively treats symptoms associated with low testosterone like low energy, reduced muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and emotional changes.
- Potential side effects include acne, temporary testicular atrophy, gynecomastia, changes in cholesterol, increased hematocrit, and negative feedback to HPTA. Our clinicians monitor patients closely for side effects.
