Does Castor Oil Extend the Half-Life of Testosterone Enanthate (Bayer Testoviron)?

[Ferello]

Hey everyone,
Looking to gather some experiences and knowledge from those who’ve used Bayer Testoviron or other testosterone enanthate products in castor oil.
We all know that Test E has a typical half life of around 4.5 to 5 days, but I wondering if it behaves the same way it does with Test U
On cycleplanner and in various studies, Testosterone Undecanoate (normally has a half life of 20.9 days, but when suspended in castor oil, it reportedly extends up to 33.9 days(nebido) a big jump.
That got me wondering If castor oil can extend TU’s half life so significantly, does it also extend Test E’s half-life beyond the usual 4.5 days?
Could it push it closer to something like 17.5(+13) days, or is that way off?
I’ve heard Vigorous Steve mention that he prefers Bayer test e as he gets less of a e2 spike with Bayer Testoviron compared to other Test E products.
So for those who’ve run Testoviron specifically or have insight into how castor oil affects absorption kinetics:

- Do you feel it releases slower or holds blood levels more stable?
- Any labs or anecdotal experiences comparing it to standard Test E in lighter oils like MCT or grapeseed?
- Could the carrier oil be a factor in minimizing E2 peaks?

Appreciate any input science based or bro science welcome.

Why not just use Test Cyp?

No.
It doesn't work that way.

In those studies with TU and castor, they injected 4 ML of castor (thick) into 1 glute of the subjects. Do you know how long it takes for that thick oil to be fully absorbed?

How many ML of Castor Test E are you planning to inject?
The higher the ML, the longer the half life extension you will get, because of how much longer it takes for castor to be absorbed.

You could probably get an extra few days of HL if you followed the studies and injected 4ML as well.

I get pharma grade Testoviron for free (NHS)

I currently inject 60mg every 3.5 days(Its prescribed to me to be used every 3 weeks(250mg/ml amp), but its becoming a bit of a ball ache to be honest If i can get away with less that would be ideal(preferably straight from amp). Its not the pinning that bothers me I have to transfer them to a sterile vial add BA etc to keep up this frequent pinning protocol.
Either way I'm going to try it and see how I get on.

The lower the ML the less difference you will see, simply because the oil will get absorbed faster. The HL extension comes from slowing down the absorption rate.

4ML, 1 shot, 1 muscle used in studies, takes much longer to absorb, as compared to that low volume you are injecting.

Ahh okay I understand what you're saying, how do you think a 1ml testoviron depot would do over 2 weeks? compared to say typical MCT?

Probably wont see any significant difference

If it's free why worry about it?

It's generally accepted the thicker the oil the longer it takes to get absorved. MCT can be said to "shorten" half-live. Castor extends it and the other organics (sesame, GSO, etc) are seen has 'baseline'.
