Smart Ar*e Question - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

I don't really expect any answers to this as its a bit of a knobbish question but one that has me thinking. If I put something into my body that has a Half Life, surely it means that that substance will always be in my system no matter how small. You can half something indefinately. If a substance was truly to dissappear surely it should be given a Full Life. I have these mad thoughts. Apologies now and any sarcistic replies accepted with no offence taken.

That's an alright question actually.

Yeah - theoretically there's always something there...

In reality it's broken down and denatured by your body after a few days and nothing remains. The "half life" description is just a way of modelling the release to most accurately guess at administration.

yeah who cares

In science, depending on the substance, all things with a half life reach a point of being a "non-factor" after a certain number of half lives because it's too small to have any effect and is thus is usually considered to be completely vacated.

I do. Not understanding the basic pharmokinetics is the reasons we get so many really ****ing stupid questions on these forums.

To the OP - if you have any more aspects of the juice you want to understand better feel free to post or PM me, no matter how technical or seemingly insignificant.

Also don't get half lives and detection times mixed up.

It's not the same as text books SS - it's not true exponential decay like, for example, radioactive decay. After a few days/weeks (in most cases) the enzymes completely break down remove the free steren nucleus' - nothing is left.
