Title: Half-life of testosterone
Post by: Amy1988 on February 09, 2014, 04:17:56 PM
Anyone know what the half-life of testosterone is?  I'm referring to the testosterone produced in the body not synthetic.

Testosterone that is not bound to an ester, such as testosterone cypionate, or in the body by SHBG has a very short half life.  On the order of a few hours at most

I think it means that you need to give more info ^^ (and that the half-life of testosterone outside of the body is a few hours).

Ignore the part within the parentheses.

Thanks for clearing that up.
