Aratest (testosterone propionate)
Aratest profile
Aratest is a testosterone-based drug that builds muscle in the body through a process of nitrogen retention. Aratest is both an anabolic and androgenic steroid which makes the drug enhance the masculine characteristics of testosterone in the body – more muscle mass, facial hair, deeper voice, etc. Aratest will also increase the appetite and aggression of the user. People taking Aratest should increase their protein intake while using the drug to get the most muscle buildup possible.
Aratest will also repair damaged muscle tissue and help replace lost tissue due to disease.
Aratest dosage and usage
Aratest is produced in Mexico by Lab Aranda. It comes in three different different products – Aratest 2500, 500 and 250. Aratest comes in 10 ml vials, so if you are squeamish about needles, this wouldn’t be the drug for you. On the black market, vials of Aratest cost around $75 to $100. Aratest is often stacked with Deca Durabolin, Winstrol and Equipoise to ensure good gains with low water retention.
Aratest should be used in conjunction with Nolvadex, HCG and Clomid to ease the effects of high testosterone, especially when taking higher doses.
Aratest side effects
Because of its highly anabolic nature, Arates users should also take an aromatose inhibitor such as Arimidex. This will prevent the body from converting the testosterone into estrogen, which causes male users to develop breasts and other female hormonal characteristics. Also, as with any testosterone product, baldness, acne and increased aggression can be problematic when taking Aratest.
Aratest is a relatively safe compound to use at low doses, however, prolonged use and taking high doses can result in high blood pressure, liver damage (because of the ester) and other health problems.
Aratest research
The active drug in Aratest, testosterone propionate, has been used in clinical research studies involving mice, rams and goats to study testosterone’s effects on various body functions, including prostate function, mood and behavior function and muscle function.
