Testosterone Undecanoate – Test Libido 250mg is a slow-release, oil-based injectable testosterone designed for sustained elevation of testosterone levels. It contains the undecanoate ester, which allows for a very gradual absorption into the bloodstream, providing therapeutic levels of testosterone for several weeks after a single injection.
Clinically, it is used to treat male hypogonadism, improving symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, mood swings, and muscle loss. In bodybuilding and athletic enhancement, Testosterone Undecanoate 250mg is favored by those seeking the benefits of testosterone without the frequent injection schedule required by shorter esters like propionate or enanthate.
Because of its prolonged activity, it is typically injected every 2–4 weeks. This makes it a highly convenient option for long-term hormone therapy, though it takes longer to reach peak levels and also clears from the body more slowly.

Side effects
Although Testosterone Undecanoate 250mg is well tolerated, users may experience:
-
Estrogenic effects (water retention, gynecomastia) due to aromatization
-
Suppression of natural testosterone production
-
Acne or oily skin
-
Mood swings or aggression
-
Hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals
-
Possible increase in blood pressure or cholesterol
-
Injection site swelling or discomfort (rare with proper technique)
Proper monitoring, use of aromatase inhibitors, and post-cycle therapy (if applicable) can help minimize these side effects.
Dosages & Protocol
Dosages for Men:
-
Beginner to Intermediate: 250–500mg (1–2ml) every 2–3 weeks
-
Advanced: 500–750mg every 2 weeks (based on response and goals)
Due to its extended release, injections are typically spaced every 14–21 days. Blood work is recommended to monitor testosterone levels and adjust frequency accordingly
How to administer – reconstitution and how to inject
Testosterone Undecanoate 250mg is a pre-mixed oil-based solution and does not require reconstitution
Injection:
-
Use a 3ml syringe with a 22–25 gauge needle (1.5 inch recommended due to deeper muscle penetration needed for slow-release oils)
-
Inject intramuscularly into the gluteus muscle (preferred site)
-
Clean the injection area thoroughly with an alcohol swab
-
Inject slowly due to the thickness of the oil and large volume per dose
-
Massage the injection area to help disperse the oil and reduce soreness
Storage
Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat
Keep the vial sealed tightly and avoid refrigeration
Half life & detectability
Half-Life: Approximately 21–34 days, making it the longest-acting testosterone ester
Detection Time: Can remain detectable in the system for up to 3–4 months, depending on dosage, duration of use, and individual metabolism
For athletes subject to drug testing, it is important to consider these detection times and plan accordingly to avoid positive tests for banned substances.
