Experiment: Removing an esterified hormone from oil.
I have decided that my homebrew test enanthate is not going to be used anymore. Its irritating the **** out of me each time I use it, and the whole muscle I inject in turns red for a couple days, so I really dont like that.
From what I read, it happens to others as well when using enanthate. It seems some people are sensative to it. Unfortunatly I guess I am one of them.
Anyway, rather then throw out the say 35ml of test e I have left, I figure maybe I can experiment.
Does anyone know if an esterified hormone has higher slubility in alcohol then in oil, or is it vice/versa?
Here is what I am thinking of.
Add my 35ml of oil to 500ml of isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) or methanol.
Set this solution on a magnetic stirrer for several hours to keep the alcohol and oil from seperating.
Let solution sit so oil settles to the bottom, and then draw off the alcohol.
(Now, hopefully this alcohol will contain the hormone I need, but that depends on wether or not the hormone has a higher affinity to dissolve in alcohol then it does in oil, which I am not certain of).
From this point, I would most likely introduce some sodium hydroxide solution to the mix in order to strip the enanthate ester from the testosterone. But I could also set the alcohol under a slow drip of cold water for a few hours using 500-1000ml of water to cause the hormone to fall out of solution and crystalize. However, since I seem to respond bad to enanthate, the first option is the best in my book .
So, whos got an opinion on this? Is this worth trying, or am I wasting my time?
