MCT vs Grapeseed Oil

Hey, so I’ve seen lots of mixed reactions Between both. On my first cycle, I ran with grapeseed oil, no issues at all, Noticed it was Thicker than expected, which made me run slightly Thicker Needles, which isn’t a big deal. As for MCT oil, people say it’s more “watery” and the PIP is non existent? Any Reviews of MCT or should I just stick to grapeseed oil?

I myself have used both, and I find that MCT has a much thinner viscosity and pins very easily using a 27g pin thus eliminating a good amount of scar tissue build up. The post injection pain is nonexistent for me but can vary between users. Hope this helps :)

MCT is thinner. For this reason, it’s easier to pin BUT it will also disperse and thus absorb more rapidly in the depot.

Believe it or not, Carrier oil has a HUGE effect on the pharmacokinetics of testosterone. The other major variables affecting absorption rate are the ester, IM vs. SUBQ (IM generally faster), and your individual genetics.

Viscosity isn't something I had considered to have an effect on absorption rate but it does make sense. Interesting.
