Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals 1-Testosterone is a straight-up 1-Andro supplement for building dry, lean muscle — centered on one main anabolic precursor at a clear, disclosed dose rather than a diluted blend of weak test boosters. Each tablet delivers 110mg of 1-Androstene-3β-ol,17-one (the full effective dose of what actually drives this compound), paired with 50mg of 6,7-Dihydroxybergamottin to enhance how it's absorbed and utilized. This is based on a naturally occurring metabolite found in many animals, including humans, with properties far different from standard testosterone. Due to its mild hormone nature, 1-Testosterone is known for delivering sustainable, clean gains and dramatic strength increases that enhance muscle definition and vascularity — without the common side effects associated with estrogen activity. Non-methylated. Men only.†

Why 1-Testosterone Doesn't Aromatize or Convert to DHT
1-Testosterone differs from regular testosterone in the placement of a single double bond within its molecular structure — a 1,2-double bond on its A ring, as opposed to the 4,5-double bond found in ordinary testosterone. This structural alteration is what prevents conversion to estrogen via aromatase and prevents conversion to DHT, making 1-Testosterone a stable molecule that resists these two conventional metabolic pathways entirely. This is the mechanistic basis for the "clean, dry gains" positioning — without estrogen conversion, there's no associated water retention or bloat, and without DHT conversion, the androgenic side effects (hair loss risk in particular) associated with that pathway are avoided.†
The Two-Step Conversion — 3β-HSD and 17β-HSD
1-Androstene-3β-ol,17-one goes through a two-step enzymatic conversion in the liver and peripheral tissue, using the enzymes 3-beta-HSD and 17-beta-HSD, to become 1-Testosterone — also known as Dihydroboldenone (DHB) in some contexts, reflecting its structural relationship to the Boldenone family. This conversion pathway is what builds hard, dry lean muscle rather than the fluffier, water-retentive weight gain associated with testosterone-pathway aromatizing compounds.†
The Published Research Behind 1-Andro
The active prohormone 1-androstene-3β-ol-17-one was the subject of a clinical study conducted at West Texas A&M University, California Baptist University, and the University of Texas at Austin. The results showed 1-androstene-3β-ol-17-one to be significantly more powerful than it would appear structurally — 9 male subjects gained an average of 10.4 lbs of lean mass and a 92.2 lbs increase in total load across bench press, squat, and deadlift. The researchers concluded that the prohormone supplement contributed to robust improvements in muscle mass and strength in resistance-trained individuals. While repeated studies are necessary to fully substantiate the efficacy of any compound, this is a meaningful data point specifically documented for the active ingredient in this product.†
6,7-Dihydroxybergamottin — The Bioavailability Mechanism
6,7-Dihydroxybergamottin is a potent CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitor — a furanocoumarin compound derived from grapefruit, responsible for the well-known "grapefruit effect" on drug metabolism. By inhibiting CYP3A4, the primary hepatic enzyme responsible for first-pass metabolism of a large percentage of orally consumed compounds, 6,7-Dihydroxybergamottin reduces the breakdown of 1-Androstene-3β-ol,17-one before it can reach systemic circulation — a different bioavailability-enhancing strategy than the HPBCD/Phosphatidylcholine liposomal Cyclosome Technology used in many of Hi-Tech's other prohormone products, but working toward the same goal of ensuring more of the stated dose is actually utilized.†
The Three-Stage Precursor Pathway
1-Testosterone's conversion involves three related prohormone stages: 1-androstenedione, 1-androstenediol, and 1-Androsterone (also known as 1-androstene-3β-ol-17-one, the specific compound in this product). Each represents a different point along the same overall conversion pathway toward the final active hormone, 1-Testosterone.†
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need PCT after a 1-Testosterone cycle?
Given that 1-Testosterone is an androgenic prohormone compound, PCT is generally recommended following any cycle to support natural testosterone recovery — Hi-Tech Arimiplex or a comparable PCT product is a reasonable choice. Consult Get Yok'd staff for specific guidance based on your cycle length and goals.†
Why doesn't 1-Testosterone use Cyclosome Technology like other Hi-Tech products?
This specific formula uses a different bioavailability strategy — 6,7-Dihydroxybergamottin, a CYP3A4 inhibitor that reduces first-pass hepatic breakdown of the active compound, rather than the liposomal HPBCD/Phosphatidylcholine Cyclosome system used in many of Hi-Tech's other prohormones.†
Is 1-Testosterone the same as Chosen1 or other 1-Andro products?
They share the same 1-Andro compound class (1-Androstene-3β-ol,17-one), but formulations, esters, delivery systems, and total doses differ between brands and products. If this specific product is ever unavailable, other 1-Andro-class products like Blackstone Labs Chosen1 target the same conversion pathway.†
Will 1-Testosterone cause a positive drug test?
Yes, likely — 1-Andro-class compounds are prohibited by WADA and NCAA as androgen precursors. Tested athletes must not use this product.†
