Methyltestosterone Vs Testosterone for Bodybuilding

[AASraw]

Methyltestosterone is an exogenous androgen, which is almost similar to the endogenous testosterone. Although the former is synthetic, both of them have a similar mechanism of action to the extent that the body can't tell the difference. Aside from natural testosterone, there are other models such as Test Propionate or Cypionate, working in the same way.

Methyltest has excellent oral bioavailability when compared to testosterone due to the addition of a methyl group in its structure. However, both steroids can treat late puberty, hypogonadism, postpartum breast pain and engorgement, breast cancer, and undescended testicles.
