PureGear MethylTest 25
Methyltestosterone is one of the oldest available oral steroids. It is produced by many various manufacturers and sold in a number of countries including the U.S. It is quite androgenic, with minimal anabolic effects. For athletic purposes, methyltestosterone (PureMethyltest) is generally only used to stimulate aggression among power lifters and those looking to boost up their workouts.
Methyltestosterone represents the first successful attempt by scientists to produce an orally active version of testosterone. To do this, scientists simply methylated the testosterone molecule, to survive oral ingestion. As a result, by the early 1950???s injectable testosterone (suspension), progesterone, and their new ???Methyltestosterone???, comprised nearly 25% of Ciba???s total pharmaceutical turnover. To this day, surprisingly, Methyltestosterone still constitutes approximately a third of all testosterone prescriptions filled in the United States.
As it applies to athletes and bodybuilders, the structure of Methyltestosterone really limits its use to very precise applications. It???s 17-alpha-methyl alteration allows it to survive its first pass through the liver. Other than that, this alteration, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, contributes to the hepatoxicity (liver toxicity). Fortunately this compound actually doesn???t have adverse effects on cholesterol and, and has been shown to lower plasma viscosity. However, since this is just an orally active testosterone, we can expect aromatization (conversion to estrogen) as well as virilization. In addition, as with any form type of Testosterone, it will convert to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can contribute to both prostate enlargement and hair loss. Taking endogenous hormones will almost always affect your natural testosterone levels, and Methyltestosterone is no exception to this. Using Methyltestosterone will result in significant decreases in plasma levels of gonadotropins (LH and FSH), gonadal steroids, sex hormone binding globulin, free T3 and T4, as well as thyroid binding globulin. Typically, I recommend Arimidex (Anastrozole) at 0.5mgs/day to help lower estrogen levels or a similar ancillary compound.
I think that the effect you???ll typically get from Methyltestosterone is similar to what would be expected with something like Halotestin, as most athletes who use either of these drugs are typically looking for immediate increases in strength and aggression, with perhaps a rapid increase in the hardness of their physique. Methyltestosterone (and Halotestin for that matter) are both very good for achieving all of those effects. Unfortunately, due to possible liver complications, most athletes have found it prudent to limit their intake of Methyltestosterone to smaller doses (25-50mgs/day), and for limited time periods ??? up to six weeks at the end of a pre-contest cycle, or immediately before an athletic event or workout. This is the most common use for Methyltestosterone in a cycle. The user typically experiences a rapid increases in both strength and aggression when a (small) dose is taken prior to a workout or athletic event. It???s common to see 25mgs taken an hour before a work out or competition. Sometimes strongmen and powerlifters have found it beneficial to take a dose before each event or lift, during a competition.
