Sustanon and Bodybuilding

Sustanon 250 (testosterone blend)

Sustanon is a generic name for an oil based formulation of testosterone. In essence it is a mixture of testosterone propionate (30mg), testosterone phenylpropionate (60mg), testosterone isocaproate (60 mg) and testosterone decanoate (100mg). The different proportions of the esterified mixtures provide different half lives. This provides for a continuous release of testosterone from the injected site.

Sustanon was once widely used for the treatment of a few medical disorders in Europe. The drug was useful to treat infertility and administered once a month.

While Sustanon has been heavily touted by athletes and bodybuilders as a drug of choice, a single formulation of testosterone enanthate or Cypionate can do the same thing. The combination of esters is better suited for the treatment of medical disorders and not for bodybuilders. One negative aspect about Sustanon is that it does remain in the body for a very long time and can be easily detected in the urine.

Besides being an anabolic agent, Sustanon also has the ability to increase the production of red blood cells. This results in more oxygen carrying capacity and hence more exercise endurance.
