Testosterone enanthate is an injectable form of the primary male sex hormone testosterone. It is typically injected intramuscularly and is used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in men with low testosterone and for performance enhancement in athletes or bodybuilders. Key features of testosterone enanthate include:
Uses and Benefits
- Increases muscle strength and mass when combined with strength training
- Boosts energy and vitality
- Helps with sexual dysfunction related to low T
- Improves bone density
- Helps regulate mood, cognition, and motivation
Some additional benefits our patients often report at
Optimum Hormone Solutions clinic:
- Increased confidence and well-being

- Increased libido
- Less irritability or "brain fog"
Dosage
- For TRT: 50-400 mg every 2-4 weeks (we find 200 mg weekly to work well for most men)
- For performance enhancement: Higher doses are utilized, though not medically recommended
Side Effects and Precautions
As with most medications, there are some risks and side effects to be aware of with testosterone enanthate:
- Possible increased aggression or irritability
- Acne or oily skin
- Breast enlargement (gynecomastia)
- Fluctuations in mood
