Sustanon 250

Sustanon 250 is yet another testosterone steroid, but it’s totally unique compared to all the others. Instead of just one testosterone ester, you get a four in one formula.

So while the testosterone hormone itself remains exactly the same, you have these four esters working together with different release timing and duration of effects. This means you get the benefits of both fast acting and long lasting esters combined.

For some users this is seen as a great advantage, but some will find the differing esters to be more of a hindrance in terms of being able to reliably and consistently maintain optimal levels of the hormone.

So Sustanon 250 might not be for everyone, but those who use it do find that it’s more than capable of delivering the types of results you expect from any testosterone steroid.

Find out everything you need to know about Sustanon 250: how it works, what the big benefits are, what side effects you can expect, ideal dosages and cycle ideas, and more…

Sustanon 250 History and Overview

Sustanon 250 was developed to provide another option along with single ester testosterone steroids for the primary medical purpose of treating low testosterone in men.

The main intention of creating this 4-in-1 ester blend was to reduce the frequency of uncomfortable injections for patients.

The number 250 simply comes from the total amount of the four combined testosterone esters that make up the Sustanon 250 blend:

• Testosterone Propionate – 30mg
• Testosterone Isocaproate – 60mg
• Testosterone Phenylpropionate – 60mg
• Testosterone Decanoate – 100mg

This translates to a total concentration of 250mg of testosterone per milliliter. Pharmaceutical Sustanon 250 is manufactured into single dose ampoules.

Since 250mg is often an ideal dose when Sustanon is being used for testosterone replacement purposes in medical applications, the product is designed to be very convenient (naturally, a lower dose can be used simply by discarding some the formula in each ampoule).

But it’s also convenient for bodybuilding users who can easily measure out doses by combining multiple ampoules rather than measuring from larger vials. This is one reason why Sustanon remains popular with bodybuilders today, despite the fact it’s been around since the 1970s.

Sustanon 250 is used in many countries for medical applications, but approval was never given in the US so American steroid users won’t find locally manufactured Sustanon 250.

It is commonly found throughout Europe and most of the rest of the world and users will find this to be a steroid that should almost always be possible to locate at pharmaceutical grade quality.

Chemical Characteristics and Properties

Sustanon 250 has exactly the same properties has any other testosterone steroid with one difference: you get a combination of four different esters all with different release rates.

This ranges from the very fast acting Testosterone Phenylpropionate with a half life of less than three days, up to Testosterone Decanoate with a long half life of 12 or more days.

Essentially this allows an infrequent injection of Sustanon 250 if you choose, because the longer lasting esters will keep the effects going for some time.

The fastest working esters get the effects of the steroid kicking in quickly. This sustained release of testosterone across the four combined esters should, in theory, allow users to think less about timing of injections.

But for those who are very specific about maintaining peak levels constantly which is generally much easier to do with a single ester steroid, Sustanon 250 can make steroid use more complicated.

A once weekly injection is a viable strategy, but one that bodybuilders often don’t take up with Sustanon 250. It’s very common for bodybuilders to still prefer to inject two or more times each week.

For medical purposes, this distribution of four different esters does make Sustanon 250 a very convenient testosterone replacement option compared to single ester forms.

Medical patients who wish to minimize injections can find Sustanon 250 to be a much more favorable option than other testosterone variants that could require weekly injections.

Sustanon 250 comes with the same anabolic and androgenic rating as testosterone: 100 and 100. We know testosterone is a powerful anabolic hormone.

Testosterone’s primary natural function in the body is to provide development of strength, muscle and bone density. Along with these critical functions, testosterone is vital for a whole range of aspects of male well being, including mental state.

By understanding the importance of testosterone for male health and its powerful anabolic properties, we can see just how powerful the properties of Sustanon 250 are.

Effects of Sustanon 250 (Sustanon 250 Benefits)

The effects and benefits of Sustanon 250 are going to be identical to those which you get from all other testosterone steroids.

This four esters in one solution of Sustanon 250 means that its the onset and duration of the effects that will differ compared to using a single ester steroid.

But once it kicks in, Sustanon 250 is going to provide you with all the benefits that you expect from testosterone, if you’ve previously used it.

And thanks to the inclusion of fast acting esters, Sustanon 250 gets your cycle off to a flying start. It will begin working much quicker than some of the popular slow acting testosterone esters like Testosterone Enanthate. Usually this starts with a noticeable improvement to strength, endurance and recovery in the first week of a cycle.

There are wide ranging benefits of using Sustanon 250 and they cover all the most critical areas that bodybuilder are concerned with.

This essentially makes Sustanon 250 (testosterone) the perfect steroid for bodybuilders whether you are a beginner or have significant experience under your belt.

Here are all the benefits of Sustanon 250 that you can expect during your cycle:

• Increased muscle size – the main reason for using Sustanon 250 is for lean muscle gains. There’s no rule as to how much you can gain, with so many variables involved. But anywhere in the range of 10-20lbs of muscle is achievable. You should expect some of this to be fluid that will be lost, but a still impressive amount of lean muscle should result from a Sustanon 250 cycle.
• Strength – with significant increases in strength you will be able to lift considerably heavier weights for the duration of a Sustanon cycle and even beyond it, with some of this new strength likely becoming a more permanent capability.
• Recovery – the ability for your damaged muscle tissue to recover and re-build after workouts will significantly improve with Sustanon 250. This is where muscle grows and this steroid makes the process more efficient so faster progress can be made. Factors that contribute to quicker recovery include enhanced protein synthesis and nitrogen retention as well as the increase in red blood cell production that comes with higher testosterone levels.
• Muscular endurance – this is a critical benefit of Sustanon 250 because without it you couldn’t push your muscles well beyond normal limits. Put simply it’s the big boost to red blood cell production that’s the main factor behind a noticeable increase in overall stamina and muscle endurance.
• Burn body fat – most people won’t think of Sustanon 250 as a fat burning or cutting steroid, but it can have its use in such a cycle. Even when not on a pure cutting cycle, Sustanon can still promote fat loss while you’re gaining lean mass thanks to its potent anabolic effects. Rarely would Sustanon 250 be used as a sole compound in a cutting cycle, but when combined with a specialized cutting steroid it will contribute to achieving a ripped and defined physique with less water retention than you’d get with some other bulking steroids.
• Muscle preservation – on the subject of cutting cycles, potentially the most vital use for Sustanon 250 is to preserve existing lean muscle. Sustanon 250 prevents you going into a catabolic state, largely thanks to its ability to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. This allows you to consume a strict calorie deficit diet to burn fat, without losing the lean gains you’ve made in the past. In fact you can even gain a small amount of muscle while cutting when including Sustanon 250 in the cycle above testosterone replacement doses.
• Hormone replacement – We should not forget the most basic use of Sustanon 250 and that is to replace your testosterone when it’s being suppressed through the use of other anabolic steroids. In this situation only low doses are required, so you don’t receive the noticeable anabolic effects listed above; in this case those will be provided by the other steroids being used.

One of the first beneficial effects of Sustanon 250 is an increased ability to perform for longer at a higher intensity. This will be the mechanism behind your faster and bigger muscle gains.

And despite the higher intensity and longer workouts, Sustanon 250 will still allow a faster recovery than if your workouts were shorter and less intense without using Sustanon.

Sustanon 250 Cycles and Stacks

Sustanon 250 is suitable for all levels of user experience; from the very first time steroid user right up to the most advanced.

Testosterone is the standard steroid that is always ideal to start with as a beginner. This makes Sustanon 250 an ideal choice when you want to balance results and side effects, because its side effect profile is almost always going to be the most tolerable for men.

After all, you’re using a hormone that is naturally produced in your body (just at higher amounts).

Beginner Sustanon 250 Cycle

Beginners to Sustanon 250 will find it a steroid that is much easier to use than others, and even a beginner can usually use this testosterone steroid at a relatively high dose with manageable side effects.

But starting low is a good strategy. It gives you a gentle introduction to steroids and how they affect your body and the way you feel. Side effects should also be minimal or even non-existent at low doses.

A simple beginner Sustanon 250 cycle can consist of 300-400mg per week for 8 weeks.

As a beginner these low doses can still allow for noticeable muscle growth at this stage because your body is not accustomed to high testosterone doses.

By keeping to a lower dose in these early days, you keep the door open to more substantial muscle growth in future with higher doses.

Even at a low dose of Sustanon 250 you will still require PCT after the cycle. This won’t need to be started right at the end of your cycle, because of the longer half life of Testosterone decanoate which means it takes longer to exit your system and will still be in effect for some time following your last injection.

At a minimum, PCT will start no less than two weeks after your last Sustanon injection. But some users will wait up to four weeks.

Intermediate Sustanon 250 Cycle

Intermediate user will be comfortable using Sustanon 250 at 500mg weekly and beyond. This level should still not result in unmanageable side effects for most men.

Testosterone is such a well tolerated steroid, that intermediate level users will often find it possible to increase up to 800mg each week and see excellent results while still being able to keep side effects manageable.

At this level you might consider stack Sustanon 250 with one other steroid for more pronounced effects. Even in that case, the dosage of Sustanon 250 will still be useful between 500-750mg weekly with a cycle length of 8 to 10 weeks.

Advanced Sustanon 250 Cycle

Advanced steroid users will almost always be stacking Sustanon 250 with one or more other steroids to achieve more substantial results, and to tailor a cycle to meet a specific goal.

This could be bulking in the off season, or cutting or for Sustanon 250’s endurance and strength properties. In some cases it can be a combination, because Sustanon 250 is so versatile it will fit into any cycle.

Advanced users will be comfortable with high doses of Sustanon 250. Some will use 1000mg, and at the extreme end it’s not unheard of for 2000mg per week to be taken but this is rarely recommended or necessary.

Stacking is the preferred method of obtaining massive results with Sustanon 250, and as an advanced user all other steroids are on the table.

Sustanon 250/Trenbolone stack

For a potent combination you can’t go past a Sustanon 250 and Trenbolone stack.

Trenbolone comes with some serious side effects that need to be monitored so you should have experience with that steroid before trying this stack. It can be used for bulking or cutting, but muscle gains can be substantial with this duo and that’s the most common use.

A 10 week cycle with Sustanon 250 at 600mg to 800mg weekly, and Trenbolone at 150mg weekly will produce impressive results.

Stacking Sustanon 250

Sustanon 250 stacks perfectly well with all other anabolic steroids.

For a bulking combination for advanced users (due to the side effects of the other two compounds), Sustanon 250, Anadrol and Trenbolone is one of the most powerful stacks you can undertake.

But it will put serious strain on the liver and cardiovascular system, so proceed with caution, maintain lower doses, and limit the length of the cycle.

• Sustanon 250 – 10 weeks – 500mg weekly
• Anadrol – Weeks 3-10 – 50-100mg daily
• Trenbolone – 10 weeks – 150mg weekly

For a pure cutting cycle, Sustanon 250 and Anavar is an excellent stack. You can still gain some lean mass on this cycle while burning a lot of fat and with no water retention caused by Anavar, a lean and ripped physique is possible on the right diet. But you’ll want to have a low body fat composition already to get the most from this stack.

10 weeks total:

• Sustanon 250 at 500mg/weekly
• Anavar for the first 8 weeks only at 20mg/day

These are just two examples of the countless stacks you can put together with Sustanon 250.

We should always consider not only the potential results that can be achieved with a stack, but the additional side effects that will be produced when using other types of steroids that often cause more adverse effects than Sustanon does.

Sustanon 250 Dosages and Administration

Sustanon 250 is a relatively simple steroid to decide on a dosage schedule for your cycles. Due to it being well tolerated by most men, even beginners can use relatively high doses with low risk of any severe side effects, while enjoying impressive results.

Nevertheless, as a new user to steroids it’s always ideal to start at the low end to assess your response and adjust your dosage accordingly as you move forward.

Let’s check out some of the suggested dosage ranges for different Sustanon 250 users:

Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Sustanon 250 Dosages

The dosage of Sustanon 250 that’s most suited to you will depend just as much on your purpose for using it, as will your experience level.

For those wanting Sustanon 250 solely as a testosterone support while using other suppressive anabolic steroids, low doses will do the job as you aren’t looking to gain any anabolic effects in that circumstance.

This TRT use of Sustanon 250 requires a very similar dose whether you’re a beginner or advanced user. You just need enough testosterone to provide normal function while using suppressive steroids and usually a dose of 200mg per week is sufficient.

Given Sustanon 250’s availability in 250mg ampoules, a simple single dosage of that amount makes it quick and easy to inject your TRT dose without having to measure out the quantity.

Beginner bodybuilders using Sustanon 250 can start from 300mg to gauge response, although this is considered a low end dose and not a whole lot above TRT dosage levels. For true anabolic effects, 500mg will generally be tolerated well even by new users.

With most other steroids beginners would normally avoid using higher doses to start with, but testosterone is a natural hormone and thus the likelihood of serious adverse effects is low.

Intermediate users will often raise the dosage up to 800mg at the most, but not all users will find it necessary to take Sustanon 250 at that level.

It will greatly depend on whether you’re using any other compounds in the cycle, in which case you would normally keep Sustanon 250 at a more moderate level of 500-700mg.

When using Sustanon 250 on its own with no other steroids, the most advanced users will confidently take 1000mg and even up to 2000mg per week of Sustanon 250. This is considered a more extreme level where very specific goals are trying to be met.

Usually such users will be stacking Sustanon 250 with some of the other powerful steroids, like Trenbolone and Deca-Durabolin, or Winstrol and Primobolan on cutting cycles. In these situations, Sustanon 250’s dosage is rarely required to be so high and will almost always sit under 1000mg per week.

Medical Sustanon 250 Dosage

The most basic dosage is 250mg Sustanon 250 once every three weeks for medical testosterone replacement. But this will be adjusted according to a patient’s specific needs.

Sustanon 250 comes in a simple vial consisting of 250mg of testosterone, making these single and infrequent medical dosages convenient.

Remember that those requiring Sustanon 250 for medical reasons are simply needing to replace testosterone at its normal level, and are not looking to obtain more powerful anabolic effects. For this reason, medical doses of Sustanon 250 will rarely exceed 250mg every 3-4 weeks.

Female Sustanon 250 Dosage

The testosterone hormone is rarely going to be a steroid that females want to use for performance and bodybuilding, due to the high androgenic effects which are virtually certain to cause some level of virilizing side effects. These adverse effects can develop even at low doses of Sustanon 250.

There are certainly better steroid options for women out there, with Anavar being the most commonly used steroid by women for gaining lean mass.

If a female does wish to use Sustanon 250 for certain reasons, an extremely low dose is all that should be considered – 50mg per week for example and that will still cause a powerful effect and potential virilizing side effects.

Proper Administration and Timing

One of the most common conversations concerning Sustanon 250 is when and how often to administer it. On a medical level the whole purpose of creating Sustanon 250 was to reduce the frequency of injections required for patients.

But unlike in medical use where a patient will often only have one injection every three to four weeks, few bodybuilders will find it beneficial to stick to such an infrequent administration of Sustanon 250.

This is because the fastest acting esters will not be contributing after the first week, so you are then left with just a fraction of your original dosage circulating in your system. For this reason it’s common practice for bodybuilders to inject Sustanon 250 at least twice weekly.

Some will go as far as to inject Sustanon 250 every second day, but this will depend on your dosage and comfort level with injecting. It can be quite a painful injection so for this reason alone, not everyone will want to inject so frequently.

Sustanon 250 Risks and Side Effects

Sustanon 250 will come with the same risks and side effects that are known with all other testosterone steroids.

Taking four esters in one injection does not raise the risks of Sustanon 250, because the overall dosage of testosterone remains the same whether you’re using a single ester form or the four-ester Sustanon.

But your total Sustanon 250 dosage is going to play a major role in how pronounced your side effects can be.

But not every Sustanon 250 will have the same side effect experience. Different men will have different responses to receiving higher amounts of testosterone, and when it comes to androgenic side effects its largely luck of the draw in terms of your genetics.

If you’ve used any anabolic steroid in the past, you will be familiar with at least some of the side effects that can develop with Sustanon 250. One of the positives with Sustanon injections though is that your liver isn’t going to be stressed like with most oral steroids. There’s still a lot to look out for with possible Sustanon 250 side effects and risks though, including:

Water retention and gyno are inevitable side effects caused by rising estrogen levels. Sustanon 250, like all testoteorne steroids, will aromatize so testosterone is converted to estrogen. The higher your Sustanon dosage, the higher your estrogen levels can become.

While these side effects are rarely as severe as you’ll get with some other steroids, they can definitely be a problem for some users. Proper use of anti-estrogen medications is usually sufficient to manage these types of side effects.

Acne and hair loss can occur in susceptible people. Sustanon 250 has high androgenic activity, but again not as potent as some other compounds.

In any case, if you are prone to acne you will likely see it develop. And if you have hair loss in your genes it could very well be stimulated with higher doses Sustanon 250.

Suppression of testosterone is a given with Sustanon 250. PCT is required after all cycles where doses above basic testosterone replacement have been used.

Generally PCT after a Sustanon cycle will start around 3-4 weeks following your final injection, due to one of the longer acting esters taking some time to clear your system.

Cholesterol and blood pressure changes are the most serious possible side effect of Sustanon 250. These cardiovascular related adverse effects should be kept in check as much as possible, including by keeping water retention managed in order to reduce the risk of increased blood pressure.

Negative changes to HDL cholesterol levels, and a potential raising of LDL cholesterol when aromatase inhibitors are used to combat estrogenic effects, can inadvertently also raise your blood pressure.

A cholesterol friendly diet is a must when using Sustanon 250 – this means plenty of omega-3 rich foods, while keeping fried foods and processed foods to a minimum. It’s also wise to include regular cardiovascular exercise in your workouts.

Sustanon 250 Results

Everyone will see different results with Sustanon 250, because the way you use it is not going to be exactly the same as the next guy.

Diet, training, other stacked steroids, dosage, age, genetics, the list goes on. These are the all important variables that will contribute to the results you could see with Sustanon 250.

There are certainly some general expectations that all Sustanon 250 users will see resulting from a standard cycle. These will be the core fundamental benefits like increased strength, some degree of muscle gain, and more endurance.

To what level you can achieve these results is going to be up to you for the most part.

You can’t change your genetics, but you can control what you eat (and what you don’t eat), how often and how well you workout, how much Sustanon 250 you take and how often, what other anabolic steroids you combine with it, and how you implement your steroid cycle for best results.

Muscle gains on a Sustanon 250 cycle with no other steroids can reach 20lbs – yes, some of this will be fluid and will be lost after your cycle but you can expect to retain a nice amount of lean mass.

Sustanon 250’s strength enhancement will have you lifting weights that were previously beyond your capability. Even on a cutting diet you should see maintenance of strength (and certainly not loss of strength) on Sustanon. But with the diet of a bulking cycle and with increasing muscle mass, a constant increase in strength should be experienced.

Just how much heavier you’ll be able to lift depends wholly on your current lifting ability, but a 20% increase is more than reasonable (many users will see much more than this).

The good news is that it’s likely at least some of these strength gains will become permanent, thanks to changes in the muscle fibers as they grow.

How to Buy Sustanon 250?

Sustanon 250 is manufactured and used as a prescription drug in many countries, but the US is not one of them as it has not been approved for medical use there.

Despite this, Americans wishing to use Sustanon 250 will often look to Mexico to get hold of pharmaceutical grade products. These are quite easy to find throughout pharmacies in Mexico, and moderately priced per ampoule.

But if you purchase Mexican made pharmaceutical grade Sustanon 250 which has been smuggled or otherwise imported into the US, you can expect to pay a premium price thanks to the middle man taking his cut.

The other option besides genuine or generic pharmaceutical Sustanon products, is to buy from underground lab sources.

Due to the widespread use and popularity of Sustanon though, this is a steroid that is fairly easy to find in pharmaceutical grade and few will need to resort to the often treacherous world of trying to find a a quality underground lab supplier.

But counterfeiting should be kept in mind when buying pharmaceutical grade Sustanon in some parts of the world. In some countries, fakes are widespread while in others (like Mexico) you will not come upon many counterfeit versions of Sustanon.

The cost of pharmaceutical grade Sustanon 250 is normally reasonable, given how common this steroid is. Pharmaceutical grade Sustanon 250 can range in price from around $8 per ampoule up to $30, depending on your source and location.

What Alternatives Are Available?

Is Sustanon 250 really worth using regularly when you consider the side effects, and the general risks associated with anabolic steroids?

We might like to think that testosterone is the safest steroid to use. In comparison to others, it’s definitely the least harmful because it’s a natural hormone.

But using it at levels considerably higher than normal could bring unknown long term consequences, and especially with the very common habit of combining it with other steroids that pose a great risk to health. And if you want big results, that’s virtually always the path that we end up on.

There are now some real alternatives to Sustanon, with Testo-Max clearly the number one legal and safe alternative.

• Same results? Check.
• No side effects? Check.
• Totally legal, so no more black markets, underground labs, or profit making middle men? Check.

Testo-Max gives you the same reliable formula every time, so there’s no under dosing or contamination to stress about.

I love that I no longer have to monitor my cholesterol and blood pressure, the acne is gone, and PCT drugs are a thing of the past.

Water retention doesn’t even come into it any more, with all gains from Testo-Max being pure muscle. To date, Testo-Max is the best and most reliable Sustanon 250 alternative I’ve used.

Sustanon 250 FAQs

What are the benefits of Sustanon?

Sustanon 250 comes with all the benefits of testosterone steroids: it helps you build more muscle faster, aids in quicker recovery, can help burn fat and maintain muscle, and boosts endurance, stamina and strength.

What can I stack with Sustanon?

Sustanon 250 can be stacked with any other steroid. It is unaltered testosterone and this makes it useful for any type of cycle.

Cutting steroids that stack well with Sustanon 250 include Winstrol and Primobolan, while for bulking you can stack a wide range of steroids include Dianabol, Trenbolone and Deca-Durabolin.

When do you see gains from Sustanon?

Because it contains some very fast acting esters, Sustanon 250 kicks in quickly at the start of the cycle so you will start seeing improvements in endurance and strength after just a few days.

Muscle gains will always take some time to develop but they should be consistent across the length of a cycle with possible gains of 15-20lbs possible after 8 weeks.

How much Sustanon 250 should I take a week?

Your Sustanon 250 will depend on your experience level, your goals, and if you’re using it alone or stacked with other steroids.

A standard starting dosage of 500mg will deliver excellent results for most men. Very advanced users are known to use high doses of 1000mg, with the most extreme users sometimes taking twice that amount.

Can you run Sustanon on its own?

Yes, Sustanon 250 works very well as a sole compound in a cycle. It has powerful anabolic effects which can provide impressive results in terms of muscle gains and strength, and even some fat burning, at moderate doses of 500mg to 800mg per week.

Can I take Sustanon once a week?

You can take Sustanon just once weekly if you want, but most users will take it twice or even three times each week so that the shortest esters are able to remain active, along with the longer lasting esters so you can maintain consistent optimal levels of your full dosage throughout the entire cycle.

Is Sustanon good for muscle growth?

Yes, Sustanon is an excellent steroid to use for lean muscle gains. It is also useful in cutting cycles where it can help maintain your existing muscle.

Muscle gains with Sustanon 250 will depend on how you eat, how you train, your current body condition, how much Sustanon 250 you take and for how long, and your genetics.

On a standard Sustanon 250 it’s possible to gain around 20lbs of weight, with some of this being water retention that will be lost post cycle.

Final Thoughts

Sustanon 250 has a lot of benefits. There’s no denying that. You get big gains, the ability to stack with any other steroid, you can even burn some fat with Sustanon, and of course you get massive strength and stamina boosts that transform your workouts.

But the good does not come without the bad. Sustanon 250 does put stress on the cardiovascular system. It does shut down your normal testosterone, and it can cause some outrageous acne. Not to mention being prepared to loss some head hair if you’re unlucky enough.

Sustanon 250 might be one of the easier steroids to use, but it’s still a steroid and with that comes a world of unknown long term risks.
