What is Cypionat 250?
Cypionat 250 by Dragon Pharma is an injectable anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) containing Testosterone Cypionate, a long-acting ester of testosterone, at a concentration of 250 mg/ml in a 10ml vial. Widely used in bodybuilding and athletic circles, it mimics natural testosterone to promote significant muscle growth, strength, and overall performance. Its prolonged half-life of approximately 8-12 days allows for less frequent injections while maintaining stable blood testosterone levels, making it a popular choice for bulking cycles.
Advantages of Cypionat 250
- Muscle Growth: Enhances protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, leading to substantial muscle hypertrophy (6-10 kg muscle gain possible in a 6-8 week cycle).
- Strength Gains: Increases power output, enabling heavier lifts and improved gym performance.
- Recovery: Boosts red blood cell production, improving oxygen delivery to muscles and reducing recovery time.
- Performance Enhancement: Elevates endurance, energy levels, and training aggression for enhanced athletic performance.
- Libido and Mood: Often improves sex drive and mood due to elevated testosterone levels, as reported by users.
How to Use Cypionat 250
- Dosage: Beginners should start with 250-500 mg per week (1-2 ml), while advanced users may use 500-1000 mg per week, split into two injections (e.g., Monday and Thursday) to maintain stable hormone levels. Do not exceed 1000 mg/week unless under medical supervision.
- Cycle Length: A typical cycle lasts 8-12 weeks. Prolonged use (beyond 16 weeks) increases health risks.
- Administration: Inject intramuscularly (e.g., into the gluteal muscle) slowly and deeply, avoiding veins. Warm and shake the vial before use to redissolve any crystals formed during storage.
- Stacking: Commonly stacked with Dianabol, Deca-Durabolin, or Anavar for bulking, or Winstrol for cutting. A sample bulking cycle: Weeks 1–8: 500 mg Cypionat 250 weekly + 30 mg Dianabol daily; Weeks 9–10: 50 mg Winstrol + 50 mg Testosterone Propionate every other day. Consult an expert for stacking protocols.
Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT) Requirements
Post-cycle therapy is critical after a Cypionat 250 cycle to restore natural testosterone production and mitigate side effects like testicular atrophy, low libido, or hormonal imbalances. Without PCT, users risk muscle loss and prolonged recovery.
- Medications:
- Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate): 50 mg/day for 4 weeks to stimulate luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), promoting testosterone production.
- Nolvadex (Tamoxifen): 20-40 mg/day for 4-6 weeks to block estrogen receptors and prevent gynecomastia.
- Optional hCG: 500-1000 IU every other day for 2 weeks before starting SERMs to stimulate testicular function.
- Timing: Begin PCT 2-3 weeks after the last Cypionat 250 injection, due to its long half-life.
- Monitoring: Regular blood tests are recommended to track testosterone, estrogen, and lipid levels during PCT.
