Description

As with other 17-alpha-alkylated AS, methyltestosterone can produce a cholestatic hepatitis with jaundice, especially when given in large doses or for prolonged periods. Methyltestosterone is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and from the oral mucosa. It is more resistant to metabolism than testosterone and has a longer half-life.

Street information

Methyltestosterone has a reputation for being highly toxic to the liver, causing hypertension and acne and aromatizing easily. It has also been linked with increased aggression and irritability. Longivol is produced in Spain, and contains vitamins in addition to methyltestosterone.
