Question 1

how long is a testosterone injection good for?

Accepted Answer

Testosterone: Most administer every two weeks.   Injections of testosterone provide the least physiologic blood levels of all dosing methods following administration.  Typically there is a very high level followed by an abrupt decline over the next week or two.  It is the cheapest, but least effective way to administer.

Question 2

please tell me how long it takes for to feel the effects of a testosterone injection?

Accepted Answer

Testosterone Effects: The ester will determine half life but feeling/seeing effects really depends on other hormones and enzymes interacting on the testosterone. Assume 2-3 weeks to determine noticeable effects; maybe sooner for test prop but again, it depends wildly for
 individual.  If you dont see/feel changes you may have to switch delivery (inject vs cream), frequency or check other hormone interaction.

T gel vs injection: Both effective, injection more reliable but gel can be applied daily.

Question 9

what is the definition or description of: testosterone injections?

Accepted Answer

Shots: Testosterone (t) injections are one of least expensive means of boosting one's testosterone level. Oil-based t cypionate & t enanthate are best given in muscle (buttocks or thighs) at least weekly to minimize ups & downs since half-life of this version is 7-10 days. If you get a shot every 2-4 weeks, your peak levels will be much higher than necessary & your trough (lowest) level will be too low.
