Description
Testosterone propionate is one of the most popular androgens and anabolic steroid (AAS) prescription medications with a short half-life. It is the shortest ester-injectable testosterone compound with a slower releasing rate than non-estered testosterone.
It was first released in 1937 in Germany by Schering AG, a pharmaceutical company, under the Testoviron trade name. In time, it became the first commercially available testosterone hormone product to dominate the medical community, overtaking other synthetic testosterone products before its formation.
In the 1960s, however, it began to lose traction to other larger ester-based testosterone compounds like testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate.
Of course one of the primary advantages Propionate has over the longer ester-based testosterones is mg per mg you get more actual active compound.
