Andriol is an orally applicable steroid containing Testosterone Undecanoate and manufactured by Organon. To avoid the unnecessary effects Andriol is being made in capsules, which contain very specific fatty acid, which makes the substance to bypass the liver and reach its target through lymphatic system. Being a relatively recent medication, discovered in the 80s Testosterone undecanoate is being converted in the body into dihydrotestosterone, which almost does not aromatize. This medication is useful for the beginners and is often used by experienced bodybuilders between the cycles. Andriol comes in white plastic bottles containing 30 caps (40 mg/pill). Andriol represents an ester of testosterone. This anabolic steroid is used in androgen replacement therapy primarily for the treatment of male hypogonadism.

Andriol caps will raise the Testosterone levels in approximately 2 hours after administration, and remain elevated only for 8-12 hours and is quickly eliminated by the body. Due to its low testosterone release it is a safe medication and can be used baldly by the beginners or female athletes. However women should use Andriol with caution because of its androgenic component. Another advantage of Andriol is the fact that it does not affect natural testosterone production.

The average dosage of Andriol is 6 capsules a day (240 mg). However a large part of medication does not reach the blood and is being moved out of the body very quickly by the kidneys. However the dosage can be increased to 12 capsules (480 mg) and should be drunk after the meals, three times per day with equal periods of time. Many times Andriol is considered of weak efficiency for bodybuilders; however it is good for heavy cycles and mostly used to improve the libido during the post cycle therapy.
