Empower Test Cyp vs Pharma

Hello,

Is empower's compounded T cyp as potent as pharma stuff, I know it must be and they try their best but just wondering if someone ever got a bad batch or anything
 
Compounded stuff is all tested for potency and ingeneral a compounding pharmacy is very heavily regulated which leads to a great product, but at much lower prices (typically).
 
Empower is the only one using grapeseed oil as an alternative to cottonseed, people have more issues with cottonseed oils. The grapeseed oil does have a shorter shelf life, so unless you stop TRT for awhile no need to worry.

I really like using grapeseed oil or sesame seed oil. Since I avoid cottonseed oil in my diet, it would be hard for me to inject it in my body.
 
I remember a fellow who couldn't figure out why he was unable to control blood pressure on TRT using cottonseed oil. He even had allergic testing and was not allergic to cottonseed oil. He switched to grapeseed oil and blood pressure normalized.

There are a few others that use grapeseed oil. I know Hoye's currently uses grapeseed by default for both testosterone and nandrolone products.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
