Testosterone
« on: February 18, 2018, 12:03:55 AM »
My question is how is Testosterone Manufactured in a lab? How is it possible that it can be as cheap as $500 for 1000g !? I'm not going to attempt to make it you don't have to detail the process just looking for a way to wrap my head around the process so I can have an idea if these prices are realistic or too good to be true.

Any articles on this? Can't seem to find.

The Marker degradation is a common way to make a variety of mammalian steroid hormones from plant sterols.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marker_degradation

Here's something interesting:  Pfizer is using new greener chemistry in the processing of testosterone.

Summarizing briefly, mass produced on large scales, pharmaceuticals are easily made economically.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
