Testosterone propionate works much faster than other testosterone esters such as cypionate and enanthate. This results in a much more frequent dosing schedule. Normally, propionate is injected at least every other day, and some athletes even prefer daily injections. Propionate is convenient during pre-contest cycles because, thanks to its fast clearance times, it can be used up to 2 weeks before a show. Doping users claim that compared with the longer-acting testosterone esters, it has a very fast onset of effects that appear within two days, with a significantly stronger pump effect, increased training energy, strength, and appetite. In addition, it does not cause significant water retention in the body. The side effects of testosterone propionate abuse are reportedly less severe and less common than those of depot testosterone forms, but there is a risk of severe acne, hair loss, body-hair growth, and deepening of the voice with prolonged use or misuse of higher doses. The risk of gynecomastia is said to be minimal, despite the mild aromatization of the compound, and its toxic effect on the liver is also considered low.Testosterone is produced in the testes in men, and in women it is produced in the ovaries; men naturally have about ten times more testosterone than women. If you suspect that you suffer from low testosterone levels, it is advisable to seek medical help and possibly be placed on TRT (testosterone replacement therapy).
