Tan from test?

[hellorhih2o]

Alright, this might sound weird but... why do I get a tan (yes, a tan) when I'm on lots of test? I'm not stacking test with anything right now so I'm on a fair amount (800mg/w). People comment on it all the time and I haven't been in the sun for MONTHS.

WTF?

jaundice is a side effect of steroids so i have heard???

jaundice would be a side effect of liver toxicity - not specific to steroids. Some are more toxic than others, amounts, other toxins etc...

I'm not getting yellow though, I'm getting TANNED.

I get that but I'm wondering why it's so much more noticeable with test as opposed to other compounds. I'm thinking that it might be related to aromatization and estrogen (test obviously aromatizes quite a bit) rather than the test itself. Anyone?

I get the same thing with test, running 500mg /week of testovirons and I have some good color. A bit redder than usual, but definitely looking tan. Just another reason why test is best

 

[rrrr]

Same here with test

has anyone figured out you get less of a "tan" if you take anti-e's? I still think it's an estrogen thing rather the test itself.

jaundice (yellow) + HP (red) = tan-like look, but not necessarily a healthy one.

Still get color with the anti-e's.

increase in BP.

My only concern is that my blood pressure is going to cause me to have a stroke. The liquidex i believe is reducing the redness though.

L-Tyrosine is a limiting re-agent in melanin synthesis.

I have no idea if testosterone increases L-tyrosine levels in the blood.

Might be interesting to look into. Me? I just use oxsolaren or trisolaren.

could have but i seriously doubt you have jaundice, unless your stomach is feeling bloated and swollen all the time.

It's my understanding that hormonal changes can indeed cause a darkening of the skin. I've read that women often permanently have a slightly darker skin tone after giving birth to their first child. I read that in a book called "Survival Of The Prettiest", but I don't know which page it was on.

Maybe you could get a lead if you googled the subject. Keep us posted.
