UPDATED: As of fall 2000, the formula for Omnadren 250 is identical
to the formula for Sustanon 250.
by Bill Roberts - This preparation is quite similar to Sustanon,
and is different only in that 100 mg/mL of it (of 250 mg/mL total)
is testosterone hexanoate instead of the testosterone decanoate
used in Sustanon. For this reason, Omnadren has a shorter half
life, and will give a faster initial increase in blood level. This
accounts for the claim of increased water retention and increased
side effects, since levels, at first, are higher for the same
dosage.
The claim that Omnadren has a duration effect of "a good 2-3 weeks"
is somewhat misleading since the half life of the longest lived
component is only about 5 days. There is of course some effect 2 or
3 weeks after injection, but relatively little.
The hexanoate ester is quite similar to the well known enanthate
ester, but is shorter by one carbon.
The isohexanoate ester in Omnadren is the same, only named
differently, as the isocaproate ester in Sustanon. Thus, the
hexanoate vs. decanoate difference is the only difference in the
mixture of esters.

Sustanon is a very popular steroid which is highly appreciated by its
users since it offers several advantages when compared to other
testosteron compounds. Sustanon is a mixture of four different
testosterones which, based on the well-timed composition, have a
synergetic effect. This special feature has two positive
characteristics for the athlete. First, based on the special
combination effect of the compounds, Sustanon, milligram for
milligram, has a better effect than Testosterone enanthate, cypionate,
and propionate alone. Second, the effect of the four testosterones is
time-released so that Sustanon goes rapidly into the sytem and remains
effective in the body for several weeks. Due to the propionate also
included in the steroid, Sustanon is effective after one day and,
based on the mixed in decanoates, remains active for 3-4 weeks.
Sustanon has a distinct androgenic effect which is coupled with a
strong anabolic effect. Therefore it is well suited to build up
strength and mass. A rapid increase in body strength and an even
increase in body weight occur. Athletes who use Sustanon report a
solid muscle growth since it results in less water retention and also
aromatizes less than either testosterone enanthate or cypionate.
Indeed many bodybuilders who use testosterone and fight against
distinct water retention and an elevated estrogen level prefer
Sustanon over other long-acting depot testosterones.
It is further noticed that Sustanon is also effective when relatively
low doses are given to well advanced athletes. It is interesting to
note that when Sustanon is given to athletes who have already used
this compound in the same or lower doses, it leads to similar good
results as during the previous intake. Sustanon is usually injected at
least once a week., which can be stretched up to 10 days. The dosage
in bodybuilding and powerlifting ranges from 250 mg every 14 days up
to 1000 mg or more per day. Since such high dosages are not
recommended and fortunately are also not taken in most cases the rule
is 250-1000 mg/week. A dosage of 500 mg/week is completely sufficient
for most, and can often be reduced to 250 mg/week by combining with an
oral steroid. Sustanon is well tolerated as a basic steroid during
treatment which stimulates the regeneration, gives the athlete a
sufficient "kick" for intense training units, and next to the already
mentioned advantage rapid strength increase and solid muscle gain
distinguishes itself also by its compatibility. In order to gain mass
fast Sustanon is often combined with Deca Durabolin, Dianabol (D-bol)
or Anadrol while athletes who are more into quality prefer combining
it with Parabolan, Winstrol,Anavar or Primobolan Depot.
Although Sustanon does not aromatize excessively when taken in a
reasonable dosage many people, in addition, also take an antiestrogen
such as Nolvadex and/or Proviron to prevent possible estrogen-linked
side effects. Since Sustanon suppresses the endogenous testosterone
production the intake of HCG and Clomid must be considered after six
weeks or at the end of treatment. It is recommended that women not
take depot testosterones since the androgen level would strongly
increase and virilizalion syniploins could result. Despile this, it is
not uncommon for female competing athletes in the higher weight
classes to take testosterone since it helps in remaining
"competitive." Women who use "Testo" or who would like to try it
should limit its use to either only testosterone propionate or inject
a maximum of 250 mg Sustanon every 10-14 days over a period of no
longer than six weeks. At this point we would like to emphasize once
more that steroid novices should stay away from all testosterone
compounds since, at this time, they simply do not need them.
The side effects of Sustanon are similar to those of Testosterone
enanthate (see also Testosterone enanthate) only that they are usually
less frequent and less severe. Depending on the predisposition and
dosage, the user can experience the usual androgenic-liked side
effects such as acne, aggressiveness, sexual overstimulation, oily
skin, accelerated hair loss, and reduced production of the body's own
hormones. Water retention and gynecomastia are usually within limits
with the "Sustas" or are not as massive as with enanthate and
cypionate. Liver damage is unlikely with Sustanon however, in very
high dosages, elevated liver values can occur which, after
discontinuing use of the compound, usually go back to normal.
Sustanon is well distributed on the black market and readily
available. Unfortunately a large number of these compounds are more or
less good fakes. When someone offers you ampules which do nol have a
paper label but a simple, usually red, imprint, these are certainly
fakes. Mostly these are Polish Omnadren from which tlie original label
was removed and replaced by a Sustanon imprint Original Sustanon which
almost exclusively is manufactured by Organon Company always lias a
paper label. It is more difficult to find the less frequently
available original "Susta." On the black market mostly the Russian or
Indian Sustanon 250 are available however, large quantities of this
original Sustanon 250 are smuggled to Europe and the U.S. The Russian
Sustanon 250 comes in a plastic film; printed in blue ink on the back
are the name of the compound, the manufacturer, and the included
substances. This imprint is either stamped on aluminum foil or on
white paper. Five ampules are combined in one strip whereas each
ampule is packaged individually. Original Sustanon 250 usually costs
$16-19 per ampule on the black market and is certainly worth the
price. In the meantime there are also several fakes of the Russian
version which, however, can be easily identified by the rounded
corners of the label. The originals always have a label With sharp
corners.
