Getting "burned" by your prop - don't fear it is normal for a percentage of the population. I have had a lot of people tell me that they do not use propionate (one of my favorite and versatile tests) because it hurts or because they get swelling and redness from it. I actually used to be one of the people who avoided prop and still am one of those susceptible to soreness/redness. A lot of speculation surrounds the reasons why prop can be so irritable. Some say it has to do with the carrier oil. Some say it has to do with the fact that most UGL brews are typically around 2% BA whereas GMP's are around .9% BA. Some people think that they are allergic to it. While some of these MAY be factors contributing or diminishing your propionate experience, I want to be sure that new users or users estranged from the compound hear this. Propionic Acid. It is what the prop converts to in the body. If/when you are noticing painful/burning red areas, away from the injection site but in the muscle that you have injected the compound's metabolism to and through propionic acid is probably the proponent responsible. The acid has three carbon chains and typically metabolizes via one of two cycles - beta oxidization or the citric acid cycle (the latter being ours for concern). Skipping a lot of made up chemical/science words, what you need to know is that vitamin B12 will get you to and through that third chain as it is a catalyst in the transformation between the last two links and will dispel your "prop burn" issues. Cut your prop with injectable B12 at the time of administration and you are back to having a powerful, dependable, short ester testosterone in your arsenal. Your other option is to pick up your boys, throw em back in the sack and move on, lol.
You've gotta know your compounds and your body above all else. My experiences may be different than yours... who knows until you share them, right?
