Andriol description
Andriol is a unique oral testosterone product,
it was developed by the international drug firm Organon. This drug is
one of the more recently developed anabolic steroids. Andriol first
became available in the early 1980's. It contains 40 mg of testosterone
undecanoate, based in oil (oleic acid) and sealed inside a capsule.
Subtracting the ester weight, this equates to a dosage of approximately
25mg of raw testosterone per cap. The design of Andriol is quite
different from that of most oral steroids. This product administered
orally generally enter the blood stream through the liver. When Andriol
is given this way without some form of structural protection, it will
be quickly broken down during the "first pass". This process leaves
very little steroid intact, basically deactivating the drug. Adding a
methyl group (c-17 AA) to the structure is one way to protect it from
this process, however stress is also placed on the liver as a result.
In some instances this stress can lead to actual damage to liver
tissues, so the designers of Andriol sought another way to protect the
testosterone molecule. With Andriol, this was accomplished by making a
form of testosterone that would be absorbed through the lymphatic
system. This is due to its high fat solubility brought about by the
ester, and its suspension in oil. Having the compound absorbed this way
was thought to be very advantageous, as it allows this product to
bypass the destructive first-pass through liver. This should permit the
compound to enter the blood stream intact, without the need for a harsh
chemical alteration. The ester breaks off once it is in circulation of
course, yielding free active Pharmacokinetics of Orai Testosterone. In
design this steroid appears to be undecanoate that of a completely
liver safe and orally active form of testosterone.
Andriol effects and Andriol dosage
On paper Andriol seems like an ideal oral testosterone product.
Andriol is clean, safe and worlds apart from other oral testosterone
derivatives like the crude methyltestosterone. But as we always hear in
life, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. And there are
definitely some issues with Andriol. The first problem is that
bioavailability, although clearly worlds apart from trying to take
straight testosterone orally, is probably not significant next to
c17alpha alkylated orals. Athletes typically find that in doses of
Andriol less than 240mg per day (6 capsules) effects are generally not
seen at all. 240mg of testosterone ester daily, the primary male
androgen, and only a meager effect. When doses of Andriol go higher,
maybe 8-10 capsules (320-400mg), new muscle growth is slight to
moderate at best, but no incredible bulky gains are ever reported.
Logic leads one to think that only a little testosterone is making its
way into circulation. Testosterone is a powerful hormone no matter what
the ester or form of administration. If it were active in the blood
stream, the results would have to be pronounced.
