    Product Description

    Testosterone cypionate (Item No. 22543) is an analytical reference standard categorized as an anabolic androgenic steroid. Testosterone cypionate is an ester of the naturally occurring androgen, testosterone (Item Nos. 15645 | ISO60154) with a longer half-life.1 Formulations containing testosterone cypionate were previously used for patients with hypogonadism; however, additional esters of testosterone have been synthesized that provide improved pharmacokinetics.2 Anabolic steroids, including testosterone cypionate, have been used to enhance physical performance in racehorses and athletes.3,4 This product is intended for research and forensic applications.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
