Some hormones will dissolve fully in oil and some won't. Those that won't need a cosolvent. It could also be that if you want a higher concentration than is possible with oil alone, you need a cosolvent. I wouldn't necessarily say it is better or worse, although personally I prefer simple. If a cosolvent isn't needed, it makes it easier and possibly cheaper to make.

Nice answer and my thoughts exactly. I just brewed up some real nice Test Enanthate at 300mg/ml with 3%BA and nothing else.

I always figured also that the less foreign material the better. One problem is that people got used to the steroid powder calculator defaulting at 2%BA and 20%BB. I have never used over 7% BB in my life, but I guess different strokes.

For the OP....BA is a bacterisotatic agent, which means it inhibits bacterial growth, where as BB is a co-solvent that is mainly used to suspend hormones that need wont hold in pure oil and BA,

Interesting .. I'm currently using a batch of test cyp that I mixed up myself at exactly those proportions .. 20%BB/2%BA.

I don't have a ton of powder and its not really easy for me to get so I hate wasting it doing experiments so tend to follow recipes that others seem to have success with. I think I found that particular recipe in a post here ..

BB is considered a minor irritant so probably best to use as little as necessary.
