Sustanon or “ sust ” is a drug whose composition is represented by several forms of testosterone. Initially, Sustanon 250, which was first released by the American company Organon, was used exclusively for therapeutic purposes, prescribed to patients whose bodies did not produce the required amount of testosterone. Today this mix has gained wide popularity in sports pharmacology.
Sustanon 250[edit | edit code]
Yuzhakov Anton Testosterone description of the drug
Sustanon 250 from Organon Sustanon from Gerth Pharmaceuticals (volume 10ml, 250mg/ml)
Sustanon
(also known as
Sustaretard
,
Sust250
,
Sustamed
,
Tetrasterone
,
Sustaver
,
Sustager
) is a mixture of various testosterone esters, first developed and released by Organon as a means of hormone replacement therapy for insufficient secretion of endogenous testosterone.
Currently, almost all mixtures of testosterone esters are equated to Sustanon, for example, the most popular analogue is Omnadren 250. A large number of drugs are manufactured clandestinely. Duration of action of various testosterone esters
Sustanon includes 4 forms of testosterone:
- 30mg Testosterone propionate
- 60mg Testosterone phenylpropionate
- 60mg Testosterone Isocaproate
- 100mg Testosterone Decanoate
- Oil (usually peanut oil) as a solvent
- Benzyl alcohol - as a preservative and antiseptic
Sustanon 250, produced in bottles, is 100% fake and has nothing in common with the original Sustanon 250 (according to storage conditions, testosterone can only be stored in glass containers, the use of rubber caps is strictly prohibited).
Each form of testosterone that is included in Sustanon has a different absorption rate, which allows you to maintain a constantly high level of anabolic hormones in the blood for a month. There is no need for frequent injections; Sustanon is given only once every three weeks (for medical purposes). Some people believe that Sustanon is a combination course in one bottle, but this is not entirely true, because each component of the drug is converted in the body only into testosterone.
The peak of Sustanon's popularity occurred in the 80s and 90s of the last century, at which time a large number of articles were written about the benefits of the drug. However, it should be remembered that Sustanon was not developed as a drug to increase muscle mass, and its main advantage is ease of use. Sustanon has a higher cost compared to individual testosterone esters (in equivalent quantities), while its anabolic properties do not differ from isolated forms of testosterone, which makes its use in bodybuilding not entirely justified.
Sustanon 250 is absolutely identical to the drug Omnadren 250 (manufactured under license by Jelfa SA - Poland).

Material from the book
P. Grunding, M. Bachmann. "Anabolic steroids" 1994[1]
Sustanon is widely available on the black market and is easy to buy. Unfortunately, most of these drugs are more or less well-executed counterfeits. If you are offered ampoules without a paper label, but simply with a stamp, most often in red, these are definitely fakes. Most often, we are talking about Omnadren, where the corresponding inscription has been erased and replaced with the imprint “Sustanon”. Original Sustanon, which is almost exclusively produced, always has a paper label. The original “Susta” is now becoming increasingly difficult to find and is becoming increasingly rare. On the black market, only Portuguese Sustanon 250, Dutch Sustanon 250 and especially Russian, as well as Indian Sustanon 250 are most often found. All three drugs have a paper label on the ampoules.
Recently, on the black market you can increasingly find Russian Sustanon 250, which is produced in Calcutta (India) and is officially intended only for export to Russia. And yet, through Czechoslovakia, large quantities of this original drug Sustanon 250 are smuggled to Germany. It seems to be a high quality drug, because... Those who use it report positive results and good tolerability, so dishonesty in its production is excluded. Russian Sustanon 250 is sold in plastic packaging, on the back of which the name of the drug, the name of the manufacturer and the chemicals contained are written in blue font. The text is written either on silver foil or on white paper. 5 ampoules are arranged together in a row, and each ampoule is also separately packaged. The original Sustanon 250 costs on the black market, judging by experience, 12 - 18 DM per ampoule and it is worth it.
Availability in the 2010s[edit | edit code]
New brands are widely distributed (Sustamed from Balkan, Sust250 from Allchcemasia, Sustaged from Golden Dragon, SUSTANON from SP Laboratories, Sustaject from Neo Labs, Sustaver from Vermodje). Sustanon from Organon is also popular and is produced in branches of different countries: Egypt, Pakistan and Holland. Cost 250 - 370 rubles. for 1 ml. Vials have become a more popular dosage form, while Organon continues to be produced in ampoules.
What is Sustanon-250 and its analogues
Sustanon-250 (in bodybuilding slang simply “Sust”) is four testosterone esters, with different periods of action and a total amount of testosterone of 250 milligrams. Hence the number in the name.
With just one injection of the drug, you get a prolonged effect for 3 weeks.
Here's how it works:
- A day after the injection, testosterone propionate starts working
- After 3-4 days - testosterone phenylpropionate
- On days 5-7 - testosterone isocapronate
- On day 10 – testosterone decanoate
As a result, after one injection, the level of testosterone in the body gradually increases over 10-12 days. Having reached the peak, it also slowly decreases for another 10-12 days. This is why in medicine the frequency of injections is 1-2 times a month.
At the moment, there are other analogues of the drug:
- Sustamed
- Sustaretard
- Tetrasterone
- And the most popular is the Polish Omnadren-250
Effects of Sustanon[edit | edit code]
Sustanon works just like any other form of testosterone. This means that the main effects of Sustanon are:
- Increase in muscle mass (on average 6 kg per month)[2]
- Anti-catabolic effect
- Increased appetite
- Increased hematopoiesis - an increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood ensures better oxygen transport, thereby increasing endurance.[3]
- Increased libido (while taking Sustanon)
The drug detection time is up to 3 months.
Sustanon - side effects[edit | edit code]
Like any other form of testosterone, Sustanon is converted into estrogens. For this reason, Sustanon causes side effects such as gynecomastia, edema, female-type fat deposition and inhibition of the production of testosterone. These side effects can be prevented by using antiestrogens, preferably aromatase inhibitors. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (tamoxifen, etc.) are used only during post-cycle therapy.
As a result of a decrease in the production of endogenous testosterone, it is possible to develop such a serious side effect of Sustanon as testicular atrophy. This side effect can be prevented if you do not take a Sustanon course longer than 8 weeks and take antiestrogens. Longer courses require the use of gonadotropin.
In the body, testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone, which causes the following side effects: prostate hypertrophy, baldness, acne and others. These are the so-called androgenic side effects of Sustanon.
Also, athletes often report an increase in temperature and a flu-like condition during the course of Sustanon. Like most steroids, Sustanon increases the level of bad cholesterol in the blood (prevented by taking Omega-3 throughout the course).
After injection, infiltrates sometimes form (lumps or “bumps” in the gluteal region or other injection site). As a rule, infiltrates resolve within 2-5 weeks.
Where to buy Sustanon 250 without prescription online?
In recent years, more and more websites “selling steroids” have been created. Unfortunately, about 90% of them turn out to be scammers. Most of them completely cut off contact after transferring money. Others send products in much lower concentrations. The worst thing is when sellers sell substances other than what they claim to cut costs and “increase satisfaction.” In this case, the first two weeks of the cycle look great, but then problems begin. If you are taking a substance other than what you think you cannot adequately counteract the side effects, you do not know whether the substance, for example, affects prolactin levels or is hepatotoxic. For this reason, you should only buy anabolic steroids from reliable sources - preferably from a reputable dealer.
However, if you decide to buy them online, I will outline below 3 stores that I have used and have never had a problem with.
MyPharmWorld
A pharmacy based in the UK that offers medicines without a prescription. She offers steroids, aromatase inhibitors, PCT and anything else that may be helpful during your main cycle. All products sold in this pharmacy are original. Unfortunately, for this reason, you will only find 3 steroids there: testosterone, masteron and durabolin deca.
The quality of the drugs surpasses any “clandestine laboratories”.
For the price of EUR 5, you can buy parcel insurance to guarantee your money back in case your parcel is lost or confiscated by customs.

PrestigePharma
One of the first online stores where I bought steroids. Previously, the store was under the .com domain, but due to legal problems it was forced to suspend its activities for several years. They offer very high quality products. Many of the products they offer come from pharmacies (PCT, aromatase inhibitors, Cabaser, etc.) and the steroids available come from large European manufacturers. I especially recommend these stores to buy often counterfeit products such as Primobolan.

Currently one of the most popular steroid stores in the world. They have been on the market for several years and have mostly positive reviews. They offer all the most popular steroids, PCT agents, aromatase inhibitors, peptides and fat burners.
The quality of the agents that I have had the opportunity to test on myself is extremely satisfactory.
