V.Med - Libido 250mg

Andriol is an orally active testosterone. The only other orally active testosterone is methyltestosterone. But unlike its counterpart, Andriol has a unique absorption method. When ingested with or after meals it is reabsorbed through the mucosal cells in the small intestine via the lymphatic system. This ester therefore avoids absorption through the portal vein in the liver and subsequent first pass deactivation. This means that a much higher level of Andriol enters the blood stream. Some of the drug is then converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which has a high affinity for androgen receptors. Due to higher DHT conversion, Andriol does not aromatize (transform) into estrogen at a high rate like other testosterone. For this reason, water retention is much lower while gyno and female pattern fat deposits are far less likely. This drug has a reported low negative effect on the HTPA (hypothalamic pituitary testes axis) and therefore does not suppress natural (endogenous) androgen production to a significant degree in the lower reported dosages.
