The drug definitely has anabolic and androgenic properties. However, the effects of the drug are not immediate and may take at least 3-4 weeks to become evident. Many bodybuilders also use other anabolic hormones like GH/thyroxin in combination.

Because testosterone is also converted to estrogen in the fatty tissues, many bodybuilders develop breast enlargement and retain water. The dose used to increase muscle mass and strength is about 250-1000 mg/week. However, at the higher doses the drug has potent side effects and it is highly recommended that all beginners start off with the low dose.

In the event that exorbitant utilization of the testosterone is suspected, one can even detect hints of the testosterone in the hair 2-4 months after the medication has been abated.

However, one should know that the testing today for testosterone enanthate is not perfect. About 50% of individuals who take this steroid are missed based on the testosterone/epitestosterone ratios.

Cost

The legal testosterone enanthate is quite difficult to get hold off. The majority of bodybuilders get their testosterone from the black market. Generic testosterone formulations made in Europe and Mexico are widely available. The drug is not cheap and a vial of 250 mg can cost anywhere from $10-$20. In the last 2 decades, the increasing control of these drugs by the DEA has led to unscrupulous dealers selling fake or counterfeit products. So in the end, it is always buyer beware.
