Bunk Test U from DP?

[lynxpoint]

Sup guys, earlier this year, in May I was completely off of everything, got a blood test, my testosterone level was 287 ng/dL, free test 67 pg/mL.

Right after that blood test, I start taking some Test U I got from https://dragonpharmastore.net/, specifically one, 100mg injection per week, total of 7 weeks.

I realize test U takes a long ass time to start working and I also know that because of the bigger ester there is less test, but I got another blood test a few days ago and my test was virtually the exact same, 288 ng/dL, free test 76 pg/mL.

This means the test U is bunk right? I was injecting 100mg once a week for 7 weeks.

I'm just posting this to make sure because I've only taken test E and test C before, never tried U. I always had problems controlling acne and estrogen on test E and test C, even at very low trt doses like 100mg a week, 80mg a week. During this 7 weeks of test U, I had zero acne....I was happy because I thought I finally found a way to take TRT with no acne and no having to take any AI......naive now that I look back.

How does this happen? Surely DP isnt just selling me oil with nothing else in it, so did they get bad/fake raws from China?

Does anyone have a good US source for Test U? Thank you.

Edit: Let me take this opportunity to ask for some advice. Even when I was pinning Test E / Test C every other day to ensure stable levels, and no matter how much AI I was taking, I still had acne problems. Is this somehow going to be better on real test U? or am I going to probably have the same problems?

Test U raws were pretty horribly underdosed before they ran out of them, so i wouldnt be surprised if it was bad raws.

if you get acne on test, do something to deal with it (retinol cream, Isotretinoin, all that stuff). changing esters wont change the problem.

so yeah, your Test U is probably bunk. tough luck, i hope you still have Test E/cyp

Have you reached out to them directly?

Not super familiar but I’d be shocked..

I don't see anything about front loading...

Thread 'Moving from Test C to Test U for TRT'

Nov 6, 2023

So I know some people have interest in Test U.

Test U itself has roughly a 21 day half life. It will help create less difference between the drug peak and trough on a weekly dose compared to test C
Some people may prefer this as theoretically may reduce the possible need for an AI(Yes this is controversial topic for TRT users).
This ester is not advised for people that are not on TRT as the PCT would be a pain in the ass.
You can do this ideally every 1-3 weeks. I personally use it weekly.

If I go on a trip and may be away for 2 weeks, I will hit myself with a double dose. No, I do not...

Dragon has been reliable in n the past but who knows with the current situation, especially relating to Test-U. They usually have Jano testing for all batches of oils being sold.

As for acne. Youthful hormone levels, youthful acne.

I will say in my experience, and there's a biological basis for this, it's the periods of fluctuation that trigger acne the most, ie. rising or falling. If you keep things stable with 2x week dosing with Test-C for instance you'll minimize the problem. I can't speak for acne on Test U, but I'm sure the dynamic is similar.

There are a million of "continuous maintainance" things you can do for acne. but it's never ending, or you could resort to doxycycline for a couple of months, which will clear it up temporarily (but could cause GI issues since it's a gut microbe killing antibiotic, though fairly gentle and first line anti acne med), use accutane temporarily to suppress it, or go on a full teenager level course of accutane to eliminate the problem once and for all (usually).

Spaceman do you have any source for test U you can recommend?

To answer everyone else, I've tried tretinoin but it did little to help the issue, only time my face completely clears up is when I go completely off of test. I have yet to try the teenager full course of accutane but I'm considering it. The whole permanent dry lips thing kind of scares me

I am sure their test U is fine. You just need to load some more. I would advise to give yourself 250-350 just this week.


I personally just make my own.

I can't get a hold of the raws anymore so I am glad I stocked up.

Funny thing since you asked. I just got my lab results

Thread '500-550 test U every 2 weeks.'

Jun 28, 2025

I didn't get a lipid because this came from my trt clinic. Not really too worried as I was just on trt.

It was not a fasting lab and it was 6 hours after a workout.

Main reason for this is to show test U 500-550 every 2 weeks
This is a trough lab test.

Permanent sides from isotretinoin are extremely rare. A lot of the fear factor has been dispelled in the last few years. It still requires caution, but the overwhelming majority are fine after stopping. If it's limited to your face, and not body, you may get away with a lower dose, faster course than if you have bacne like most of us.

Spaceman I'm not trying to argue with you and I really appreciate your feedback. Do you really think its normal for me to pin 100mg of non-bunk 250mg/ml Test U from DP, once per week, for 7 weeks straight (almost 2 months!) and my test value doesnt budge at all? There's no way right? If test U really is that slow then ok I'll keep pinning but....It's just so hard for me to believe

 

[wp_375]

Test U is what, 60% Test by weight? So your "100mg" a week has 60mg of actual Test in it. What were your numbers on different esters?

Some guys can take 200-250mg of Test with a lower ester weight and be at like 7-800ng.

I think that's too little. I would say 120-240 a week would be the ideal range.

You needed to front load. You injected a slow acting ester. You need your blood serum concentrations to increase.

I’m not familiar with accutane, or steroid acne in general, but if it’s limited to the face or a small area aren’t topical retinoids surely the better choice?

Everything else is temporary.

Isotretinoin makes 2 permanent changes the usually results in a cure.

Shrinks sebaceous glands (oil producing), and improves function of the cells lining pores that transport oil to the surface.

Steroids made controlling back and shoulder acne impossible. I didn't have any on my face.

Accutane completely ended the problem. Wish I had done it long ago.

 

[Alert_Custard]

Are your LH and FSH suppressed with that dosage of Test-U so far? If they are not, it is bunk. If they are, it is not bunk but you just haven't injected enough

 

[Den84]

My last trt with test U was one subcutaneous injection of 0,2 ml Sunday, and another one injection 0,2 ml Thursday; total 100 mg weekly like you.

My total testosterone was 388 ng/dl , It may seem low, but if you consider that in 100 mg of test U, there are only 63 mg of pure testosterone, 388 ng/dl is acceptable.

So, I didn't increase the dosage, because I was well both mentally and physically, and I didn't want to increase E2.

From September I will start a new trt but this year I wont to try test D instead of test U .

don't rush to write that your D test is bunk, take another sample and check for fsh and lh, if these two values are close to zero, your U test is legitimate, but it takes about 10/12 weeks to stabilize the climb curve, and become linear.
