Description
What Is Testosterone Undecanoate?
Testosterone Undecanoate comes in two forms: Oral and Injectable. The oral Testosterone Undecanoate (Andriol) has a half-life of 12 hours. Andriol also has a very low bioactivity.
The injectable form (Nebido), on the other hand, has an exceptionally long half-life of up to 90 days and a relatively higher bioactivity. This means you only need one injection every few weeks. So, injections are much better in terms of cost and overall results.
Testosterone Undecanoate vs Cypionate
Both Undecanoate and Cypionate are Testosterone esters, and the only difference is their half-life. As stated, the Testosterone Undecanoate half life is up to three months. In other words, it stays in your system much longer. The Cypionate is fast-acting, with a half-life of 10 to 12 days.
Testosterone Undecanoate vs Enanthate
Enanthate is also a Testosterone ester. Its half-life is about 8-10 days, which is much shorter than that of the Undecanoate injectables.
How Does Testosterone Undecanoate Work?
Testosterone Undecanoate enhances protein synthesis in the body, encouraging the body to make more proteins. The presence of more proteins in the body means more muscle growth.
The steroid also increases your skeletal muscles by:
- Increasing the production of IGF-1 hormone, vital for making more protein
- Decreasing levels of stress hormones, which can contribute to a loss of muscle mass
Nebido boosts performance, endurance, and recovery. Thus, you can work out more to achieve the training level necessary to chisel your physique.
Testosterone Undecanoate Bodybuilding Benefits
Like any other Testosterone ester, Nebido will deliver several benefits in your steroid cycle. Here are a few of these benefits:
- The drug decreases glucocorticoid levels.
- It has a greater anabolic effect.
- Testosterone Undecanoate helps maintain muscle mass during a cutting cycle.
- You need fewer injections.
Decreases Glucocorticoids (Stress Hormones) Levels
Nebido enables you to engage in intense physical exercise without raising the levels of stress hormones glucocorticoids. As a result, you’re able to maintain your muscle gains and insulin, a critical anabolic regulator, at optimal levels.
Helps Maintain Muscle Mass During a Cutting Cycle
Nebido helps ensure a positive nitrogen balance in the body throughout your cutting cycle. This is critical for maintaining muscle. It helps the body remain in an anabolic state, preventing muscle loss.
Greater Anabolic Effect
With the production of more growth hormone (IGF-1) in the body, expect increased anabolic effects on your skeletal muscle. Your muscles grow significantly.
Fewer Injections
Since Nebido is a slow-acting ester, your injections will be infrequent. That makes the steroid easy to use and encourages consistent and stable natural testosterone levels.

Dave Johnson, 32, Bodybuilders. –
I’m on a full dose of 1000 mg/4 ml every 12 weeks, and I love it. I have stable levels and only have to think about the dose a few times a year! Nebido is the unique ester of testosterone I’ve ever been on, so I can’t compare it with other esters. But most importantly, I don’t plan to switch to another one.
Jim White, 26, Athlete. –
I am on 12 weekly Testosterone Undecanoate. Although it’s not perfect, it has caused massive improvement in super-low testosterone levels.
Mike Solo, 33, Wrestler. –
I have been on Nebido for 12 weeks now and have experienced a remarkable turnaround in my energy, stamina, and body strength. I also enjoy clearer-mindedness and super-intensified libido. I now can’t imagine living without it and don’t plan to.
Jose Taker, 29, Bodybuilder. –
I did run Testosterone Undecanoate as my TRT base for a while. 100 mg Test Undecanoate per week – once-a-week shot. It was fine.
Luke Martin, Powerlifter. –
I injected Nebido once every 14 days for my TRT. The steroid works great! Initially, I had an acne breakout when I first started. This could have been due to the longer ester releasing hormones more slowly. I am not sure what caused it, but it eventually went away on its own.
