enanthate or cypionate

[Pheedno]

Cyp is larger by 1 carbon atom.

Enanthate is a straight chain ester, Cyp is semi-cyclonic

The more carbon atoms an ester has, the more lipid soluble the molecule becomes. You can conclude from this that the more carbon atoms an ester has, the greater the half-life the molecule will have. This is because the rate at which the test molecule is transferred from the lipid environment to the water in the blood is decreased.

Half life is shortened to 10-14 days with Enan from Cyp. 17-21

Now for potency- Total ester weight has to be accouted for when measuring potency. Adding more carbons to the ester increases total molecular weight. So on a mg/mg basis, one could say that since enanthate has only 7 carbons in its ester, and cyp has 8 carbon atoms, the enanthate molecule would contain more test.

On a molecular weight mg/mg, I think Enan render 2.8mg more per cc. so it really isn't that much of a difference.

Bang for the buck, your going to get 250mg Enan for cheaper than 200mg Cyp so Enan is the obvious choice(barring the consideration of availability)

There is so many variables...... You couldn't possibly say that all the variables (i.e. Diet, amount of water, anti-e's, dosages, etc.) were exactly the same when you have run cyp, and when you have run enth., could you????

you are right, as i said i couldn't explain it, it makes no sense but it still seems to be. just something i have observed with myself. the original post did ask about personal preference.

everyone says their the same but I get better results and prefer cyp hands down.

i was just thinking, would it then be safe to say that you would(diet, water, etc, etc being equal) yield identical results ,mg for mg, from test suspension as you would from enanthate? as the ester does not affect results.
