   I have searched the site and the archives and whilst I now have a better understanding of what a half-life is and means, I still would like to know the half-life of Sust. For arguments sake say: Sustanon250 If you have the inclination perhaps you could also add what effect this has on Sust injections. I got told it has a half life of 10-12 days and for that reason injections should be spaced 10 days apart. Someone else told me that was Bullshit. Board Members your input please... ------------------ IP: Logged |

Here ya go From Stroyers Profile site www.angelfire.com/pq/profiles/ It is precisely set up to give you results for up to a month after injection because each of the testosterones that make up sostanon 250 stay active in the body for differing time periods. It gives you almost instant results that you can feel since it will hit you about 3 hours after your first injection. The reason for this is the fast acting properties of the testosterone propionate that is in it. The testosterone phenylpropionate and testosterone isocaproate will typically stay active for about 2-3 weeks each and the testosterone decanoate stays active in the body for up to a month. This combination is what gives sostanon 250 its quick onset which continues to hit you for about 4 weeks after the last injection. This drug also degrades and tapers nicely for the same reasons. Dosages of Sustanon range from 250 mg every other week, up to 2000 mg or more per week. These dosages seem to be the extremes. A more common dosage would range from 250 mg to 1000 mg per week. Although Sustanon remains active for up to a month, injections should be taken at least once a week to keep testosterone levels stable. IP: Logged |

So if I was doing 500-750mg a week I should do three injections a week? IP: Logged |

No actually you should go ahead and inject the entire dose at the same time. IP: Logged |

The reason for inject twice a week is to keep the propinate levels constant seeing as it has a half life of 3-4 days, it's only beneficial if you're taking 750 or more a week. IP: Logged |

Actually, when using test, the only benefit to twice or more weekly injections would be if you were doing 2000mg/3000mg or more. This would be to avoid any kind of reaction from too large of an injection. At 500mg to 1000mg its totally not neccesary. IP: Logged |

to maintain an optimum level of test in the system it should be injected twice per half life. example enanthanate should be shot every four days to maintain high levels over the 8 day half life. the same thing can not really be done with sustanon since it contains a combination of esters. if you want to stay high shoot frequently enough to take advantage of the proprionate at least until the next ester kicks in.

it has 4 half lives but I beleive it should be taken twice a week at the very least until week 3 or 4 then you can move to once a week dosing if you prefer ------------------ IP: Logged |
