Methyltestosterone

Methyltestosterone is a substance that is identified as being an anabolic agent for systemic use or simply an anabolic steroid.

As for the medical definition of Methyltestosterone, the American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines it as synthetic methyl derivative of testosterone used in the treatment of male sex hormone deficiency and male hormone replacement.

Is Methyltestosterone Safe?

On the web site, www.inchem.org, it is reported that chronic use of Methyltestosterone can cause harm. In women, the more common effects are menstrual irregularities and virilization; while in men, continuous ingestion of Methyltestosterone can cause impotence, premature cardiovascular disease and prostatic hypertrophy. Habitual users may need professional help, just like drug addicts do, given that there is significant hesitation on their part to cease taking the product.

Since Methyltestosterone is considered a synthetic anabolic steroid, it is based on the principal male hormone testosterone, modified in one of three ways: alkylation of the 17-carbon; esterification of the 17-OH group; modification of the steroid nucleus.

The physical properties of Methyltestosterone are: whitish or yellowish white in color, and it comes as solid-crystals. It is odourless, and not soluble in water (although US and British chemists may slightly disagree on this solubility).

Methyltestosterone Toxicity and Abuse

People who abuse Methyltestosterone could suffer from acute poisoning and may also be at risk of death from premature heart disease or cancer. For women, long term effects include voice changes and in children, fusion of the epiphyses in children.

There are cases on record of Methyltestosterone users who have experienced severe health and mental problems. Getting cured is possible, but a few cases reportedly saw a permanence of these effects, examples of which are depression and aggression.

Athletes and power builders who take Methyltestosterone, in the form of methyltest tablets place it under their tongues for quicker absorption. Two tablets before going to the gym can boost your workout, in some cases, even turn it into an aggressive workout. It can be toxic, if abused and can elevate liver enzymes and cause acne, gynecomastia, aggression and water retention quite easily.

Watch Out for Phony Methyltestosterone!

Athletes are cautioned about counterfeit steroids, and if it’s muscle mass you’re looking for from a steroid cycle, do look somewhere else. Counterfeit steroids sometimes contain only methyltest, given that it is very cheap when bought in bulk and inexperienced users are frequently fooled about the product’s authenticity.

Users who take Methyltestosterone because their doctors prescribed it must be made aware that this substance could interact with blood thinners, cyclosporine, growth hormone and imipramine. So before your doctor hands you a prescription for Methyltestosterone, be sure you tell him what drugs you’re currently taking.
