Testosterone cypionate is a long-estered testosterone injection typically prescribed for hormone replacement therapy for those with low testosterone levels. It is a testosterone ester that is designed to slowly release testosterone into the bloodstream over time.
Testosterone cypionate is one of the most popular and widely used forms of testosterone for treating hypogonadism, the condition of not having enough testosterone production. When used properly it can restore testosterone levels to a normal healthy range.
Some key things to know:
- How it works: The cypionate ester attached to the testosterone causes it to be released slowly from the injection site over the course of typically 7-14 days. This provides a sustained increase in testosterone.
- Frequency: It is typically injected once every week or two. The frequency depends on the dosage prescribed.
- Benefits: Restoring normal testosterone levels can help relieve symptoms like low energy, poor libido, erectile dysfunction, and loss of muscle mass that occur with low testosterone (hypogonadism).
Additionally, testosterone cypionate:
- Improves mood, confidence and vitality
- Increases muscle mass and strength when combined with strength training
- Decreases fat mass
- Improves heart health by positively affecting cholesterol levels
- Strengthens bones through increased bone mineral density
