Testosterone cypionate is a synthetic version of testosterone designed to mimic the effects of naturally produced testosterone. It is classified as an injectable androgen or "anabolic steroid" that helps normalize testosterone levels in men with clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism).
Some key points about testosterone cypionate:
When administered properly under medical supervision, testosterone cypionate effectively increases testosterone levels in the blood to normal physiological range. This leads to a restoration of masculine characteristics and benefits in deficient men. It can also help counteract the loss of muscle and strength seen with natural aging.
Potential side effects may include acne, mood or behavior changes, prostate enlargement, infertility, and polycythemia (increased red blood cell concentration). Safe and responsible use requires regular lab testing and monitoring by a knowledgeable hormone specialist physician.
