Testosterone buciclate is a recently developed injectable steroid, which utilizes the extremely long, highly oil-soluble and very slow acting buciclate ester(commonly referred to as 20 Aet-1).
This preparation of testosterone has a massive release time of around 12 week, meaning one injection can provide a sustained release of the primary male hormone for up to 12 weeks.
At 20 carbon atoms long, this is the largest ester used in any steroid preparation. It is about seven times longer than propionate, three times longer than enanthate and double the length of decanoate. A real superior long lasting and long acting testosterone preparation.
First described in 1986 as part of the World Health Organisation initiatives, this steroid was developed to extend the release time of hormone whilst providing a sustained release without peaks and troughs, as shown in enanthate and cypionate.
The recommended use is in patients suffering from andropause and it has even been recommended for use as a male contraceptive. This is not a steroid for sale, nor is it a prescription drug just yet as its slow acting cousin, Nebido, has seen more extensive research and is the favoured long lasting testosterone preparation.
Testosterone suppression will always be encountered when experimenting with anabolic steroids. Estrogenic side effects will present themselves as testosterone id readily aromatised to estrogen in the body.
For those looking to use steroids to increase muscle mass and strength, consider the use of the strong legal steroid, Pro Anabolic. There are no side effects as it does not contain synthetic hormones yet the gains are extraordinary when run alongside a high protein diet.
