There is a lot of confusion as to the half life of M-1-T. It is no different than ANY OTHER 17-ALKYLATED ORAL. However, the therapeutic effect may be extended due to its low threshold. Reference below for some sample numbers to illustrate my point:
DBOL - A well known oral
Let's say someone dosed 50 mg at one time. Let's further assume that the half life is an even 8 hours and the therapeutic threshold is about 10 mg (arbitrary number) for this test subject.
HOUR 1 - 50 mg dosed
HOUR 8 - 25 mg left
HOUR 16 - 12.5 mg left <- Losing therapeutic effect
HOUR 24 - 6.25 mg left <- Below threshold
Let's take it a step further for day 2 of test subject dbol dosing.
HOUR 1 - 50 mg dosed + 6.25 mg day 1 residual = 56.25 mg TOTAL
HOUR 8 - 28.13 mg left
HOUR 16 - 14.07 mg left
HOUR 24 - 7.04 mg left (dropped below threshold ~20 HOUR mark)
This illustrates the additive effect of oral dosing of 17-alkylated compounds. Now let's apply this to M-1-T:
Let's assume that Vida data is at least CLOSE to true. Most will agree that 500 mg test enth weekly is the minimum dose for gains. Now, an equivalent dose of M-1-T would be 40 mg weekly or 5.7 mg daily (Vida, pg 211 tabular data). Generally speaking, threshold will be in the magnitude of half that amount. So, the threshold can be ASSumed to be around 2.5 mg.
HOUR 1 - 10 mg dosed
HOUR 8 - 5 mg left
HOUR 16 - 2.5 mg left <- dropping below threshold
HOUR 24 - 1.3 mg left
Continue into day 2:
HOUR 1 - 10 mg dosed + 1.25 mg residual = 11.25 mg TOTAL
HOUR 8 - 5.6 mg left
HOUR 16 - 2.8 mg left
HOUR 24 - 1.4 mg left
NOW, let's up the dose to 20 mg M-1-T ED:
HOUR 1 - 20 mg dosed
HOUR 8 - 10 mg left
HOUR 16 - 5 mg left
HOUR 24 - 2.5 mg left
Continue into day 2:
HOUR 1 - 20 mg dosed + 2.5 mg residual = 22.5 mg TOTAL
HOUR 8 - 11.25 mg left
HOUR 16 - 5.63 mg left
HOUR 24 - 2.8 mg left
IMHO, the half life of M-1-T will be identical to any other oral. The difference is the low therapeutic dose. Further, given the logic flow above 5 mg is my recommended daily dose and should decrease or eliminate sides thereby extending times able to be cycled.
20 mg is the HIGHEST recommended dose and should be reserved for those with extensive experience with past AAS cycles (not prohormones).
