| A spanner in the works of half-life
Stolen from another board: Quote: |
Now most half lives are calculated on 1.5 x the number of carbon atoms to determine 1/2 life in days. Thats wrong! If you go to PubMed or AMJ you can look up numerous studies showing a much shorter half life(@ .7 per carbon atom)
| If this is correct (and PubMed/AMJ aren't likely to be too wrong!).. ouch! What this mean is that we have always estimated test enanthate to have a half-life of 10.5 days due to the fact that it has 7 carbon atoms. (7 x 1.5 = 10.5 days). In actual fact, if this 0.7 is correct, then the 7 carbon atoms in test enanthate means that it ONLY has a half-life of 4.9 days. Quite a difference and throws off any "roid calculator" I've ever seen. Fortunately I base my PCT on active life anyway ;) |
