I happened to come across a research chemical page and noticed a compound very near and dear to my heart and I had to have it. It was a 2-ene steroid, 17B-acetoxy-5a-androst-2-ene AKA desoxytestosterone acetate AKA desoxy-T acetate. 2-ene steroids are so fantastic because they fly in the face of the conventional structure activity relationship for anabolic androgenic steroids. This relationship would insinuate "you must have a 3-ketone and 17-hydroxyl group to bind theandrogen receptor." 2-ene steroids lack the 3-keto group yet bind the androgen receptor with a very favorable selectivity for androgen receptors.

History of Desoxytestosterone

Let's dig into the rich history of these steroids; Patrick Arnold, who is touted with many unique and effective contributions to the performance enhancement industry, had reintroduced and synthesized desoxymethyltestosterone (DMT) for athletes. DMT was one of the compounds mentioned along side THG or tetrahydrogestrinone, in the ever so famous "BALCO Scandal." Soon after this, DMT was widely sold and marketed as a "pro hormone" or "pro steroid" and sold openly in the nutritional supplement market. This compound eventually became noticed by authorities. Soon after, the same company that had marketed DMT as Pheraplex, Anabolic Xtreme, then released 3-AD which was the compound 17b-acetoxy-5a-androst-2-ene. This compound had a removed 17a-methyl group from DMT and an edition of an 17B-acetate group. This company then discontinued the product. Moving forward, the supplement company ANDROGENETX released Delta-2. The Delta-2 prohormone was 5a-androst-2-ene-17-one a precursor to 5a-androst-2-ene-17b-OH. This was sold as a supplement and is arguably DSHEA compliant due to the fact it is a human metabolite of DHEA and present in specific game meat such a wild boar. Delta-2 is still available to this day from several sources.

Desoxytestosterone Dosage

Desoxytestosterone acetate is typically taken in the 200-600mg per week range, with over 500 being considered a high dose.
