The Methyl-1-Testosterone Analysis is a targeted laboratory test designed to confirm the identity and determine the amount of methyl-1-testosterone in oral dosage forms and raw active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) powders.
The analysis is suitable for pills, tablets, and capsules, with results reported in milligrams per tablet or capsule. Raw API powders can be evaluated by percentage content, with optional purity reporting in % (m/m).
Methyl-1-testosterone, commonly abbreviated as M1T, is a synthetic, orally active anabolic-androgenic steroid. It is a methylated derivative of 1-testosterone that interacts with androgen receptors and exhibits anabolic and androgenic activity. Methyl-1-testosterone is distinct from methyltestosterone despite the similarity of their names.
M1T has been characterized as a designer steroid and was not marketed for approved medical use. Scientific research has investigated its tissue-specific anabolic and androgenic effects, metabolism, and potential adverse effects.
Important Notice
- This analysis is specifically intended for methyl-1-testosterone. It does not automatically screen the sample for other anabolic steroids or undeclared substances.
- For oral products, the minimum amount of methyl-1-testosterone required for evaluation is 4 mg per pill, tablet, or capsule. For raw API powders, the minimum content is 10%. Samples below these values may not be reliably evaluated within the standard scope of the analysis.
- Purity reporting in % (m/m) is available only for raw API powders.
