Testosterone that is swallowed rather than injected. Andriol Testocaps are soft capsules of testosterone undecanoate, 40 mg each, sixty to the pack, produced by Healing Pharma. Because the undecanoate ester is taken up largely through the intestinal lymphatics, it escapes most of the first-pass metabolism that makes other oral testosterone useless.
That lymphatic route depends on dietary fat being present, which is the defining quirk of the dosage form. The molecule is also not 17-alpha-alkylated, unlike the classic oral steroids, so it does not carry their hepatic burden. This sixty-capsule carton is the larger of the two pack sizes offered.
