Sustanon is a blend of four different steroids. They are testosterone propionate – 30 mg, testosterone phenyl-propionate – 60 mg, testosterone isocaproate – 60mg, and testosterone decanoate -100 mg. Sustanon is an oil based time released, injectable steroid. Created by the pharmaceutical company Organon as a hormone replacement therapy, Sustanon stores contractile protein (called actin and myosin), which aids in muscle growth. It also increases muscle fiber by increasing the red blood cell production. More RBCs can also improve recovery from strenuous physical activity. Athletes and body builders frequently use Sustanon to increase their muscle mass and their strength as well. Unlike similar steroids, Sustanon causes less water retention and has less side effects, which makes it appealing to bodybuilders who wish to build solid quality mass. Sustanon has been found to increase strength, size, aggression, and also endurance in users.
Sustanon became quite popular in the 80′s and 90′s, making it the most widely spread steroid around. It gives users elevated blood levels of testosterone over the course of a month’s time. This eliminates the need for frequent injections since it stays in the bloodstream for a longer period of time. The feedback on Sustanon remains good and many users say that with Sustanon 250, you need relatively lower dosage but still get impressive results. With other testosterone, you have to take higher dosages, and the dosage requirement climbs up as the body becomes tolerant to the drugs.
Dosages of Sustanon vary depending on the individual, but the range is normally between 250mg to 1,000mg per week. Even though Sustanon remains active for up to a month, injections should be taken at least once a week to keep the testosterone levels in the blood stream stable. A beginner using Sustanon can expect to gain an average of about 20 pounds within a two month time frame using the 250 mg dosage. Advanced athletes would most likely benefit from a higher dosage to receive optimum results.
Although Sustanon is regarded as being a safe steroid, as with any steroid drug, some athletes may experience some side effects due to the increased estrogen level if more than 1,000mg per week is injected. Sustanon is also a good steroid to use in a stack. This would be for athletes or body builders that are looking to achieve more rapid size and strength gains. The average cost of Sustanon is about $15 to $20 per ampule and it is available online.
