In 7DTD, “Testosterone Extract” is, as its in-game description states, a compound harvested from bears, and it serves as an intermediate material used to craft Steroids. Rather than an item you consume directly, it’s easiest to think of it as an “ingredient” for producing higher-tier drugs (such as steroid-based enhancement drinks).
How to Obtain It
As the name and description suggest, the source is bears. It’s most likely treated as a material you get when harvesting a bear you’ve killed, so if you want to stockpile a steady supply, having the gear and level to actively fight bears is a prerequisite. Bears are tough opponents early on, so realistically you’ll want to target them once you’ve built up some strength.
When to Use It
This item doesn’t do anything on its own—its value lies chiefly in being a crafting material for a refining recipe. Steroid-based enhancement items are meant to temporarily boost your physical abilities, so keeping some on hand as “prep” pays off before charging into boss-tier enemies, or when you want to improve efficiency during long tasks like mining or building.
Collect it on the side while hunting bears, then send it off to refining when you need it—that’s the recommended way to handle it.
