Methyltestosterone

Sort By

Methyltestosterone (Methyl-Med) is an oral form of testosterone. When taken orally, testosterone itself is ineffective, since most of it is metabolized in the liver and destroyed at the first stage. As a result, only about 5-10% of this substance enters the bloodstream.

Methyltestosterone, on the other hand, is 17-alpha-methyltestosterone, which means that there is one methyl group at the C-17 position of the molecule. This change allows methyltestosterone to break down and inactivate more slowly in the liver than oral testosterone.

The medication is rapidly absorbed into the blood and has a short half-life. Since methyltestosterone is partially absorbed through the oral mucosa, there are also sublingual forms of this medication.

Methyltestosterone is a potent medication with a pronounced androgenic effect. It is widely used in various fields where it is necessary to increase aggressiveness.

Athletes such as powerlifters and weightlifters often use methyltestosterone before heavy training and competition. Within an hour after taking the medication, it begins to act, causing an increase in aggression, self-esteem, self-confidence and motivation, which allows them to perform more complex exercises and lift more weights.

In the United States, methyltestosterone is often taken by football players before matches as an aphrodisiac.

However, in bodybuilding, its use is limited because it is not very effective for continuous muscle mass and strength building.

Bodybuilders often choose Dianabol. Those who want to try this medication for the first time may feel a surge of strength and a noticeable increase in weight. This is due to the fact that water is trapped in the body. The athlete looks massive and strong, but it doesn't last long — until the water leaves the body.

The dosage of the medication can vary from 2 to 20 tablets or more at one time. The number of tablets depends on the desired degree of aggressiveness.

However, methyltestosterone has a number of side effects that affect almost all body systems. Here are some of them:

  • Effects on the nervous system: Aggressive behavior, sudden mood swings, increased excitability, irritability, depression.
  • Endocrine system: Impaired carbohydrate and fat metabolism, decreased blood sugar levels, and with prolonged use of high doses, diabetes mellitus.
  • Long-term use in men: Decreased production of their own testosterone, testicular atrophy, suppression of spermatogenesis, weakening of erectile function, female-type fat deposition, development of gynecomastia.
