Andriol Information
Andriol (Testosterone Undecanoate) is a unique oral testosterone product, Andriol was developed by the international drug firm Organon. Andriol is one of the more recently developed anabolic steroids. Andriol first became available in the early 1980's. It contains 40 mg of testosterone undecanoate, based in oil (oleic acid) and sealed inside a capsule. Subtracting the ester weight, this equates to a dosage of approximately 25mg of raw testosterone per cap. The design of Andriol is quite different from that of most oral steroids. Andriol administered orally generally enter the blood stream through the liver. When Andriol is given this way without some form of structural protection, it will be quickly broken down during the "first pass".
Andriol Information
On paper Andriol (Testosterone Undecanoate) seems like an ideal oral testosterone product. Andriol is clean, safe and worlds apart from other oral testosterone derivatives like the crude methyltestosterone. But as we always hear in life, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. And there are definitely some issues with Andriol. The first problem is that bioavailability, although clearly worlds apart from trying to take straight testosterone orally, is probably not significant next to c17alpha alkylated orals. Athletes typically find that in doses of Andriol less than 240mg per day (6 capsules) effects are generally not seen at all - 240mg of testosterone ester daily, the primary male androgen, and only a meager effect.
When doses of Andriol go higher, maybe 8-10 capsules (320-400mg), new muscle growth is slight to moderate at best, but no incredible bulky gains are ever reported. Logic leads one to think that only a little testosterone is making its way into circulation.
Testosterone is a powerful hormone no matter what the ester or form of administration. If it were active in the blood stream, the results would have to be pronounced.
Andriol Side Effects
One might also pay interest to the "mildness" of this compound as described by other bodybuilding materials. Andriol is often spoken about as some type of magic product, which to spite being a form of regular testosterone somehow allows for only minimal estrogen conversion. You should know that the way a drug is administered includes a number of factors that can slightly alter its effect, the most predominant being the speed of release. This effects the time it takes for a peak blood level to be reached, and likely the length it takes to see results. The primary reason Testosterone suspension seems more powerful than enanthate is because more drug is active on day one. At the same time estrogen builds up faster and side effects become pronounced very quickly.
The ester is also part of the total weight, and 100mg testosterone contains a much larger quantity of testosterone molecules that testosterone plus ester, another reason for varying effect. But these changes do not amount to all that much. The structure of testosterone is what allows it to break down into estrogen. The only way we can really prevent an androgen from converting to estrogen is to change the base molecule, not the ester. Once free in the blood stream we cannot prevent testosterone from being aromatized without interfering with the aromatase enzyme itself. The lack of results and side effects often reported with Andriol must be going hand in hand with poor absorption.
Most athletes today consider Andriol (Testosterone Undecanoate) a very poor buy. I know other references do find use for Andriol (testosterone undecanoate), which is defendable because some amount of steroid clearly does enter the blood stream intact. Technically it is still an oral testosterone, and definitely does not carry the same liver-toxicity risks associated with most steroids designed for this type of administration, so all is not Post. Those specifically looking for a mild oral at times do purchase Andriol, and occasionally are even satisfied with their results. But for most its high price and required high daily dosages usually causes them to avoided it when crossing it on the black market. Besides, if we want a mild steroid the last thing we really should shop for is a testosterone.
