However, we find such cholesterol fluctuations are mild, compared to other anabolic steroids. Testosterone will increase blood pressure, due to a redistribution of HDL/LDL cholesterol levels. One study gave 2,800mg per week of testosterone undecanoate to male subjects for 21 days ( 6) yet none of them experienced any hepatotoxic stress, despite such an exceedingly large dose. Oral testosterone (undecanoate) is also safe for the liver, with it being absorbed via the intestinal lymphatic route thus preventing hepatic strain. Testosterone poses little to no hepatic concern (liver stress), due to it being injectable and thus entering the bloodstream immediately instead of the liver having to filter it. We see oral testosterone less commonly used in bodybuilding, compared to injectables, due to its notably higher market price. However, there is oral testosterone available (undecanoate) for those wanting to avoid needles. If injected incorrectly, any steroid or medication can be dangerous (or fatal). Testosterone causes hefty gains in muscle size (20-30lbs) and remains one of the most popular steroids in bodybuilding despite coming to market over 80 years ago. When injected in the correct dosages, we find testosterone to be one of the safest steroids available. However, testosterone is also utilized in cutting cycles to retain muscle hypertrophy. In bodybuilding, we see testosterone predominantly used in bulking cycles to add large amounts of muscle and strength. ![]() In 2017, it was the 132nd most prescribed medication throughout the U.S ( 3) with over 5 million prescriptions ( 4).įrom 2001 to 2011 testosterone prescriptions have tripled ( 5), indicating a current low testosterone epidemic. Testosterone was included in the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, regarded as crucial for treating endocrine disorders ( 2). This is known as testosterone replacement therapy or TRT. Testosterone is an FDA-approved injectable steroid, used to treat millions of men all over the world, who are deficient in natural testosterone. However, below are the mildest/least destructive steroids a bodybuilder can take based on our testing: It’s worth noting that bodybuilders often consume significantly higher dosages of anabolic steroids, compared to in medical settings thus increasing the risk of side effects.įurthermore, bodybuilders often take steroids without having regular checkups with a medical doctor, which is a further risk. However, we have found certain steroids to be safer than others, which is why several AAS are approved by the FDA in medicine (whilst others are not). This is due to AAS having the potential to cause dangerous side effects in users. Given the sensitive nature of this article topic, we’d like to clarify that no steroid can be considered 100% safe especially when bought on the black market for cosmetic purposes.Īnabolic steroids are also illegal ( 1) unless utilized by a doctor in a strict medical setting. Touliatos is currently available for consultations.
