All 11 Esters at a Glance: The Master Reference Table
Research compounds for laboratory use only · not medical advice
Half-life, active fraction and clearance math for every ester in the Vyroval catalog — one table to bookmark, with links to the tools that model each one.
This is the table to bookmark: every ester in the catalog with its half-life, active fraction, and clearance math, plus the tools that model it.
The master table
| Compound | Est. half-life | Active fraction | ≈ Time to 5% remaining |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trenbolone Acetate | ≈ 2 days | 87% | ≈ 9 days |
| Testosterone Enanthate | ≈ 4.5 days | 72% | ≈ 19 days |
| Drostanolone Propionate | ≈ 4.5 days | 84% | ≈ 19 days |
| Testosterone Cypionate | ≈ 8 days | 70% | ≈ 35 days |
| Methenolone Enanthate | ≈ 10 days | 73% | ≈ 43 days |
| Boldenone Undecylenate | ≈ 14 days | 63% | ≈ 60 days |
| Nandrolone Decanoate | ≈ 15 days | 64% | ≈ 65 days |
| Stanozolol (oral) | ≈ 0.5 days | 100% | ≈ 2 days |
| Oxandrolone (oral) | ≈ 0.5 days | 100% | ≈ 2 days |
| Methandrostenolone (oral) | ≈ 0.5 days | 100% | ≈ 2 days |
| Sustanon 250 (blend) | 2–15 days | mixed | ≈ 9+ weeks |
Half-lives are population averages from published pharmacokinetic literature; individual variation is significant.
How to read the active fraction
The ester chain adds molecular weight on top of the parent hormone. A 250 mg injection of testosterone enanthate carries 72% active testosterone — about 180 mg — because the enanthate group makes up the rest. That’s why release models multiply dose by the active fraction before applying decay.
Tools for every row
- Curve modeling: the ester half-life plotter draws 12-week serum curves for any ester, including the Sustanon 250 four-ester breakdown.
- Clearance math: the ester clearance calculator computes the percentage remaining at any week count.
- Long-tail reads: how trenbolone acetate clears and why nandrolone decanoate lingers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which ester has the longest half-life in the catalog?
Nandrolone decanoate and boldenone undecylenate, both around 14–15 days. The shortest is trenbolone acetate at about 2 days.
What does active fraction mean?
The ester adds molecular weight, so a 250 mg injection delivers less than 250 mg of active hormone. The active fraction is that ratio — testosterone enanthate is about 72%.
How do I model clearance for any ester?
Use the clearance calculator with the compound preset — it applies the half-life math and shows the time to 5% and 1% remaining.
