[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 196931, member: 38109"] I have to blend the esters myself. The compounding pharmacies are offering blends of 80% cypionate and 20% propionate, which is nowhere near enough propionate to create the daily hormonal variations seen in young men, with troughs about 40% lower than peaks. What works for me is to get half the testosterone from each ester. In the case of cypionate this means you need 0.837 / 0.7 = 1.2 parts cypionate to 1 part propionate, or about 54% to 46% by ester weight. One hypothesis I've floated is that some of the benefits of testosterone are tied more closely to daily peak levels, as opposed to trough or average levels. Emulating natural testosterone variation also allows for use of more natural amounts of testosterone, which generally range from 3-9 mg per day, with 6-7 being typical. I'm currently taking 4.4 mg testosterone per day, which puts peak testosterone close to 700 ng/dL and troughs in the 400s. [/QUOTE]
