Comparison table
| Attribute | Boldenone Undecylenate | Sustanon 250 |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Boldenone Undecylenate (Equipoise / EQ) | Sustanon 250 (Testosterone Ester Blend) |
| Category | Anabolic Steroids | Anabolic Steroids |
| Status | Veterinary drug (controlled substance) | Prescription drug (controlled substance) |

It stimulates erythropoiesis and appetite while binding androgen receptors. | Combines short, medium, and long esters so testosterone is released at staggered rates, producing a rapid initial rise followed by sustained levels. The active hormone is standard testosterone acting on androgen receptors. |
