17-Methyltestosterone Description :

Methyltestosterone is one of the oldest anabolic steroids in existence and one of the most important anabolic steroids ever created. The testosteronehormone is the first anabolic steroid ever synthesized, and it was simply raw testosterone. The first testosterone compound was an injectable form with no ester attached; think Testosterone Suspension. In 1937 Testosterone Propionate would hit the market, and it would be the first ester base testosterone compound. It would also be the first testosterone compound made regularly available for commercial use. However, a year before in 1936 Methyltestosterone would appear, and while it's not as common as it once was it still has a place in medicinal testosterone treatment plans.

Methyltestosterone is an oral testosteronehormone, the first oral testosterone preparation and the first C17-alpha alkylated (C17-aa) steroid ever made. The compound has appeared over the years under numerous trade names, but perhaps the most well known Methyltestosterone compound of all time was Ciba's Metandren. Ciba's Methyltestosterone, while oral, was actually a sublingual form, which enhanced the bioavailability of the testosteronehormone. In fact, this form doubles the bioavailability compared to a tablet version and enables the individual to reach peaked testosterone levels in an hour. If Methyltestosterone is used in tablet form, it can take approximately two hours for peak levels to be reached, not to mention carrying a much lower potency.

17-Methyltestosterone Functions & Traits

Methyltestosterone is a pure testosteronehormone that has an added methyl group attached in order for the hormone to survive oral ingestion. The methyl group is attached at the 17th carbon position officially classifying Methyltestosterone as a C17-aa anabolic androgenic steroid. Like all testosteronehormones, Methyltestosterone carries an anabolic rating of 100 as well as an androgenic rating of 100. However, due to the C17-aa alteration, its translating anabolic activity will be significantly less than most testosterone compounds.

On a functional basis, Methyltestosterone provides testosterone to the body that it may be lacking. Due to its low bioavailability and potent estrogenic nature that we'll cover in the side effects section, this makes it a poor choice for performance. However, we will be able to make one performance exception when we look at the effects of Methyltestosterone.

As a pure testosteronehormone, Methyltestosterone is a perfect synthetic model of the primary male androgen testosterone. While synthetic in nature, once in the body the body will make no distinguishing difference in it and the testosterone it naturally produces. While the primary male androgen, women also produce and need testosterone, which often diminishes during menopause. However, while they need the hormone men need approximately ten times that of women.

Due to Methyltestosterone being testosterone, it will perform all the traits of the naturally produced hormone. The testosteronehormone greatly affects our physical and sexual wellbeing, and to a degree, even our mental function. When levels become low each and every one of these areas can be negatively affected. Conversely, when low levels are combated with compounds like Methyltestosterone functions return to where they're supposed to be.

17-Methyltestosterone Effects:

The effects of Methyltestosterone are brought on by simply increasing the amount of circulating androgens through exogenous use of this hormone. This could be done to combat a condition brought on by low levels, or it could be to enhance androgen levels above baseline levels to help combat another condition. However, while both are possible the former is the most common in a medical setting. By supplementing with this androgen, the effects of Methyltestosterone should enhance the individual's sex drive and boost energy levels that are often in decline with low levels of the hormone in the body. This is where the effects of Methyltestosterone will benefit the menopause or andropause patient greatly. Such conditions will also be the most common point of use for this particular version of the testosteronehormone .

For the purpose of performance enhancement, the effects of Methyltestosterone will normally be found lacking. For a true performance boost it would require long term high dose use and due to this steroid's hepatotoxicity it simply isn't a viable option. We will, however, find the steroid is nowhere near as toxic as many have inaccurately believed, but it still won't be viable for long term performance use.
