question from a user
What is your opinion on test decanoate and undecanoate? I had posted a few links by some well known fitness influencers/coach who claimed that the longer esters cause no hair loss. What has your observation been. I know for some test U has too long a half life to manage but how about test D. Any plans to compound it?

AlphaMD's Answer
To be honest, we don't have much experience with decanoate or undecanoate in the US, as these esters are still on patent, so are very expensive. This usually means insurance won't pay for them when cheaper alternatives are available. Because they are still on patent, compounding pharmacies are not likely to have any of these longer acting esters anytime soon.
That being said, most studies have shown that the shorter acting the testosterone, the lower the risk profile for side-effects. This is why we recommend creams/gels in men who cannot tolerate the injections.
