Effectiveness
How Testosterone Propionate Affects PatientsTaking testosterone propionate can cause the body to produce proteins linked to male sexual development. Studies have also found that taking testosterone propionate can reduce the amount of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) in the bloodstream.
How Testosterone Propionate works in the bodyTestosterone works in the body by directly activating the androgen receptor or by being converted to a different form called DHT and activating the receptor in that way. The activated receptors then bind to certain genes, which can produce different effects in the body.

Testosterone Propionate Reviews: What are patients saying about Testosterone Propionate?
4Patient Review
1/19/2022 I found that I needed to take this medication every day in order for it to be effective.
3.3Patient Review
5/15/2017 Injections every other day, on average. These have caused me pain in the form of lumps that last for several days after each injection; however, I've definitely seen an improvement in my symptoms overall. Additionally, going to a 100mg/ml concentration improved post-injection pain (as 200mg/ml left pronounced pain). My dosage didn't change, just diluted it with more oil so as to keep the oil from being quickly absorbed and leaving testosterone crystals in muscle tissue to inflame said tissue.

"Testosterone cypionate has the same effect as enanthate. Testosterone propionate must be injected every 2-3 days, but testosterone enanthate (doses of 200-250 mg) and testosterone cypionate can last longer and only need to be injected every 2-3 weeks. This is for replacement therapy of hypogonadism."
