You also hear that it misses the first pass of the liver but not sure now after reading an article from power peptide on here. Wish i did some blood work to confirm that theory. It also didn't destroy my appetite like when i took it orally.
Short answer is that it definitely enjoys enjoys skipping the first pass. However as often is the case the short answer is wholly inadequate when considering the context ie ones health. Though it would get around the acute slam of liver stress we have to ask (or at least I do lol)
what is the total amount of "damage" done by the compound? To the liver over time but also to all the other organs and systems.
I haven't honestly ever bothered to look because it's highly unlikely that there are good studies focused enough to give high enough quality answers that directly apply to AAS. But I can share a few thoughts that I feel strongly should be looked at as fact.
There are very few drugs that are designed to force liver interaction when injected. That makes the concept worthy of a look. In fact in the AAS world the 17aa's are made that way so they can be taken orally and not be destroyed before getting to work. Yet again though there is no free ride.
Back to the bolded part now, I think this is something that can be visualized like an Area Under the Curve Diagram. For the liver alone I'd be willing to bet that over time that total amount of damage ends up being very close to the same. Maybe another better visual would be comparing sticking your hand into and barrel with an 80% acid mixture in it for an hour vs a 40% mix for a day. So my question would be how much do you "gain" if anything? You may miss that first spike but 4-5 minutes later that shit is all in full circulation anyways, passing through and getting filtered by the liver over and over.
So I do think that it possibly could be easier on the liver, the question of the effects on other bodyparts/functions are unknown afaik.
@Goldenrod and I have argued about the intricacies of the first pass avoidance on here over the years and though my view hasn't changed much at all I must say that iirc one of his main points has been "how much" effect it may or may not have which I agree is the question we should be asking.
Again on the "no free ride" train my friend I'm not trying to talk you or anybody else out of or into doing anything, all of this has negs to be weighed, cheers!
To the OP
@Grindtight I hope you'll keep in mind that not bloodwork or anything else paint the whole picture of what's going on inside, I bet we all can name some guys who had great bloods, imaging or whatever diagnostics that met a sudden "shocking" demise. In this particular case i personally think there are better ways to get the job done, good luck Sir
