Genetix Equipoise contains boldenone undecylenate at 250 mg per ml in MCT oil. Boldenone is a testosterone-like steroid originally developed for veterinary use, with a very long ester that releases it slowly over weeks.
- Long half-life (around two weeks), so effects build slowly.
- Known for raising red blood cell counts more than most steroids.
- Each batch is lab tested; results are on the product page.
This guide covers the Genetix Pharma version of Equipoise specifically: what is in the vial, how to store and handle it, and what boldenone does in the body. For a broader beginner overview, see our Equipoise introduction.
What is in the vial
| Detail | Genetix Equipoise 250 |
|---|---|
| Active ingredient | Boldenone undecylenate |
| Strength | 250 mg per ml |
| Carrier oil | MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil |
| Route | Intramuscular injection |
| Approximate half-life | About 14 days |
MCT oil is thinner than traditional sesame or cottonseed oil, so it draws and injects more easily through smaller needles, and it avoids common seed-oil allergies.
What boldenone is
Boldenone is almost identical to testosterone, with one extra double bond in its ring structure. That small change reduces its conversion to estradiol (roughly half that of testosterone) and makes it a milder androgen. It was developed in the 1950s and marketed as Equipoise for horses. It has never been approved for human use, so there is no human label dose.
The undecylenate ester is one carbon longer than the decanoate ester on Deca, which is why boldenone takes weeks to build up and weeks to clear.
Why “veterinary” matters
Because boldenone was only ever developed for animals, it never went through the human trials that tell doctors about safe doses, interactions and long-term effects. Everything known about its effects in people comes from small studies, doping research and user reports. Veterinary products are also made to different standards from human medicines. That is one reason pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing and independent batch testing matter: they confirm the vial contains the stated compound at the stated strength, without contaminants. Anti-doping labs have also found boldenone can occasionally be produced naturally in very small amounts, which is why tested athletes face specific rules about it.
Effects people look for
- Slow, steady gains in lean mass with relatively little water retention
- Increased appetite, which many users note
- Higher red blood cell production, which some endurance athletes misuse
Because the ester is long, changes appear gradually over several weeks.
Side effects to watch
- High hematocrit. Boldenone stimulates red blood cell production strongly. Hematocrit above about 54% thickens the blood and raises the risk of clots and stroke.
- Anxiety and restlessness in some users
- Cholesterol changes: lower HDL and higher LDL
- Higher blood pressure
- Acne and hair loss in those prone to them
- Suppression of natural testosterone and sperm production
- Estrogen-related effects, less often than with testosterone
Bloodwork
A complete blood count is the key test with boldenone, along with a lipid panel, blood pressure, estradiol and liver and kidney function. Donating blood through Canadian Blood Services is not appropriate for people using anabolic steroids, so high hematocrit needs a doctor’s input. See our bloodwork guide and cholesterol guide.
Storage and handling
- Store at room temperature (15–25 °C), away from light. Do not refrigerate; cold can make steroids crystallise out of the oil.
- If crystals appear after a cold delivery in winter, warm the vial in warm (not hot) water and swirl until clear.
- Wipe the stopper with alcohol and use a new sterile needle each time.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Deliveries in a Canadian winter
Oil-based injectables can sit in cold delivery trucks and mailboxes for hours between November and March. Cold does not damage boldenone, but it can make the hormone crystallise and the oil thicken. Bring parcels indoors promptly, let vials reach room temperature before use, and check each one against a light for crystals or cloudiness. Warming and gentle swirling should leave the oil perfectly clear. If anything remains cloudy, has particles, or looks different from other vials in the same batch, do not use it and contact us. We ship from inside Canada in plain packaging, with tracking within 72 hours.
Checking quality
Genetix and Zionova batches are tested by independent labs for identity and strength, and results are posted on each product page. When comparing suppliers, look for batch-specific results, Canadian shipping and clear contact details; our guide to choosing a safe supplier explains what to look for. We also carry Zionova Equipoise.
Frequently asked questions
What is Genetix Equipoise?
Boldenone undecylenate 250 mg per ml in MCT oil, an injectable anabolic steroid originally developed for veterinary use.
How long does Equipoise take to work?
Because of its long ester (half-life about 14 days), effects build gradually over several weeks.
Should Equipoise be refrigerated?
No. Store it at room temperature away from light. Cold can cause crystals; warming and swirling the vial dissolves them.
