Cypilos 250 mg/ml (Testosterone Cypionate) 10ml vial

Testosterone Cypionate is a primary sex hormone found in both men and women. It plays a vital role in the development of reproductive tissues and is responsible for the emergence of secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle mass, bone density, and body hair in males. Testosterone also contributes to overall health and prevents conditions such as osteoporosis. Insufficient testosterone levels in men can lead to bone fragility and loss. While known for its anabolic properties, Testosterone Cypionate performs several physiological functions in the body. It is used as hormone replacement therapy for age-related hypogonadism in older adults and as a foundation for athletes during steroid cycles.

Mechanism of Action

Testosterone Cypionate binds to androgen receptors and acts as a precursor to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a biologically active androgen. DHT is formed through the conversion of testosterone by the enzyme 5α-reductase and has a high binding affinity to androgen receptors. When testosterone or DHT bind to these receptors, they activate signal transmission to the cell nucleus, resulting in changes in gene activity in DNA. Aromatase can also convert testosterone to estrogen, which primarily activates feedback mechanisms that suppress endogenous testosterone production when exogenous testosterone is administered.

Medical Use

Testosterone cypionate is included in the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines for its crucial role in medical treatment. It is used for hormone replacement therapy in conditions such as gender dysphoria, male hypogonadism, and certain types of breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy ensures testosterone levels remain within normal ranges and helps counteract age-related cognitive decline and sexual dysfunction in adult men.

Testosterone in Sport

Testosterone Cypionate offers significant benefits in sports, primarily in increasing muscle mass and strength. It exhibits both anabolic and androgenic effects by activating androgen receptors in cells. This activation leads to changes in gene expression, promoting muscle growth and improving performance during training. Testosterone Cypionate also improves joint health, helps relieve pain, and stimulates the body’s regeneration processes. Athletes typically use doses between 250 and 500 mg per week, adjusted based on body weight. Cycles typically last 8 to 10 weeks, followed by post-cycle therapy to restore natural hormone production.
