Andriol is a unique oral testosterone product, one of the most recently developed anabolic steroids, introduced first in Europe in the early 1980's by the international drug company Organon. Its 40 mg brown coloured oval capsules, each marked DV3 ORGANON on it, resemble miniature rugby balls.
Testosterone undecanoate, the substance contained in Andriol, is
reabsorbed from the intestine through the lymphatic system. It bypasses the liver and becomes effective, so the liver function is not affected. Andriol aromatizes only minimally, allowing only a very small part of the substance to be converted into estrogen, since the dihydrotestosterone does not aromatize. Therefore the users of Andriol do not experience feminization symptoms such as gynecomastia or increased body fat.
