Andriol information
Andriol is a unique oral testosterone product, Andriol was developed by the international drug firm Organon. Andriol 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. Andriol 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".
Andriol effects
Andriol seems like an ideal oral testosterone product. Andriol is clean, safe and worlds apart from other oral testosterone derivatives like the crude methyltestosterone.
Andriol side effects
The primary reason Testosterone suspension seems more powerful than enanthate is because more drug is active on day one. At the same time estrogen builds up faster and side effects become pronounced very quickly.
