[QUOTE="madman, post: 228735, member: 13851"] Increasing your injection frequency clips the peak--->trough let alone keeps blood levels more stable throughout the week. TE/TC are basically interchangeable and the half-life of TC is not 8 days. [B]TE: [I]7-carbon aliphatic ester side-chain [/I] TC: [I]8-carbon aliphatic ester side-chain [/I][/B] You can easily get away with injecting TE once weekly. Would be more concerned with the dose of T you are injecting as you would need to make sure you are still achieving a high enough trough FT come weeks end. Need to get lab work done to truly see where said protocol (dose T/injection frequency) has your trough TT, FT, and estradiol. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/testosterone-enanthate-and-testosterone-cypionate-half-lives-data.23467/#post-201463[/URL] I would not fret over whether one uses enanthate vs cypionate as they are basically interchangeable. Regardless of the minor differences in the esters between the two, there are many other factors that affect the rate at which testosterone is released from the oily depot at the injection site. Sub-q vs IM, the volume of injection, injection depth, site of injection, lymphatic flow, and the concentration of BOH (benzyl alcohol) is other possible factors that can affect absorption rates of the esterified hormone. As far as testosterone esters 100 mg of enanthate= 72 mg active testosterone and 100 mg cypionate= 70 mg active testosterone. If anything I would be far more concerned with your protocol (dose T/injection frequency)/SHBG level and where such has your trough FT levels! Top it all off that you should be using/relying upon the most accurate assays TT (LC/MS-MS) and FT using the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best).
