Methyltestosterone is one of the oldest anabolic steroids in existence and one of the most important anabolic steroids ever created. The testosterone hormone is the first anabolic steroid ever synthesized, and it was simply raw testosterone. The first testosterone compound was an injectable form with no ester attached; think Testosterone Suspension.
In 1937 Testosterone Propionate would hit the market, and it would be the first ester base testosterone compound. It would also be the first testosterone compound made regularly available for commercial use. However, a year before in 1936 Methyltestosterone would appear, and while it's not as common as it once was it still has a place in medicinal testosterone treatment plans.
Methyltestosterone is an androgen hormone. It works by increasing the level of testosterone in the blood. It was usually used in men who do not make enough of a natural substance called testosterone. In males, testosterone is responsible for many normal functions, including growth and development of the genitals, muscles, and bones. It also helps cause normal sexual development (puberty) in boys. Methyltestosterone is similar to the natural testosterone produced by your body. It belongs to a class of drugs known as androgens. It works by affecting many body systems so that the body can develop and function normally.Methyltestosterone may also be used in certain adolescent boys to cause puberty in those with delayed puberty. It may also be used to treat certain types of breast cancer in women.
