1-test is pretty much useless orally - it needs to be used transdermally or injected. it is the real thing - it is a steroid - 5 alpha reduced EQ to be exact. it wont cause bloat or gyno - but it can shut you down pretty hard, and cause some libido problems. you wont notice much mass from it - its not that anabolic - but it is pretty androgenic, so you can expect some hardness and strength gains.
