Site Enhancement Oil is a sterile neutral oil that is locally injected directly into muscle tissue. It becomes encapsulated in the bundles of muscle fibers which adds volume to the muscle. The term Synthol is used to describe any Site Enhancement Oil (SEO). [1]

[edit] Usage and Effects
SEOs are used to increase the size of a muscle. There is one main theory on the science behind synthol. After synthol is injected it becomes encapsulated in the bundles of muscle fibers and this adds volume to the muscle size. The muscle fascia surrounding the muscle becomes stretched. This fascia is one of the main restrictive factors in muscle growth. Synthol stretches the muscle fascia, creating room for more muscle growth. This theory has not been proven. There is currently no professional literature or applied research on the muscle building effectiveness of synthol.
[edit] Formulation
Formulations vary depending on brand. In general Synthol consists of inert naturally occurring lipids/fatty acids (Eg. Caprylic acid, capric acid) and benzyl alcohol (sterilising agent).[2]
A site enhancement oil is not an androgen and contains no steroids.
[edit] Risks
Neither the short-term nor the long-term side effects of Synthol have been adequately studied. The main risks are those common to all intramuscular injections, namely accidental injection of Synthol into an artery or vein, which could potentially lead to a heart attack, embolism or stroke due to blockage. Other risks include nerve damage, and infection
