Thoughts on eth/cyp vs sus? In EU I'm on sus as its half the price of the other two
AlphaMD's Answer
Sustanon is kinda weird stuff. It was formulated decades ago on the incorrect assumption that long esters don’t release immediately, so shorter esters are needed to bridge the gap.It’s made up of testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, testosterone isocaproate, and testosterone decanoate.
The problem with this mix is that with all the drastically different half lives, it is maddening to find the right dose or frequency of injections. And often before you do, you get side effects. And when they happen, it takes a full 3 months for your levels to stabilize again. This is the reason we didn’t get approval for it in the USA. There is also a reason it is cheaper in the EU. No one likes to prescribe it.In med school, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got was “KISS. Keep it simple, stupid”. Sustanon is as complex as it gets. I recommend you at least start with cypionate before venturing on the long and winding path of Sustanon.
