Boldenone Undecylenate is a testosterone derived anabolic androgenic steroid that is best known by the trade name Equipoise given to it by Squibb in the 1970’s. While Equipoise is officially classified as a veterinarian grade anabolic steroid, the first batches of Boldenone were introduced on the human grade pharmaceutical market by Ciba in the early 1950’s under the brand name Parenabol. Human grade Boldenone would see some success in human medicine through the 1960’s and 70’s but would ultimately be discontinued by the end of the decade. Since that time, the steroid has only been available through veterinarian medicine and underground labs with the Equipoise name dominating the market. Fort Dodge Animal Health now owns the Equipoise name.

For decades, it has been assumed that Equipoise was very similar to Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate). This assumption was in part based on comments the late Dan Duchaine made about the steroid. However, the two compounds are not similar in any way; in fact, Duchaine would recant the statement, but the initial statement has been enough to keep the rumor alive. If Equipoise shares anything in common with another anabolic steroidal hormone, it would be testosterone, but EQ as it’s commonly known is unique in its own right. An important note regarding the differences in these two steroidal hormones; Nandrolone carries a strong progestin nature, while Boldenone carries no progestin characteristics.

Equipoise Functions & Traits:

Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) is a structurally altered form of testosterone. It is a very slight change in an added double bond at the carbon one and two position. This double bond greatly reduces the hormone’s androgenicity, as well as estrogenic nature. It is then attached to the very large or long Undecylenate ester, which is responsible for controlling the release of the hormone once administered into the body. The Undecylenate ester allows for a peak release in Boldenone approximately 3-4 days after injection, with a slow continuous release of the hormone to follow for approximately 21 days.

Due to its structural change, Equipoise only aromatizes at approximately 50% the rate of testosterone. Estrogenic side effects are possible, but the odds are highly in the individual’s favor compared to testosterone. It is not as powerful of a mass builder as testosterone, not even close, but the reduced estrogenic activity should allow the individual to make cleaner gains through supplementation.

Equipoise shares many similarities regarding direct enhancement properties with testosterone. Common shared properties include its ability to enhance protein synthesis, nitrogen retention in the muscles, inhibit glucocorticoid hormones and increase IGF-1 output. Equipoise is also well known for increasing red blood cell count, a trait shared by most all anabolic steroids. However, issues of concern have been noted regarding how much Equipoise can increase red blood cell count. But available data tends to support this only being a concern with extremely high dose use for extremely long periods of time. In many ways, the increase in red blood cells provided by Equipoise can be fast and rapid, but may not present a significant advantage or disadvantage compared to most anabolic steroids when used responsibly. Without question, a moderate increase in cell production would be very advantageous for most any athlete.

Effects of Equipoise:

The effects of Equipoise are fairly straightforward. This is a generally well-tolerated anabolic steroid that presents notable anabolic activity in most users in a clean and even fashion. Outside of performance enhancement use, Boldenone did enjoy some success as a human grade steroid for a time. The steroid had some success in treating muscle wasting diseases and osteoporosis, but would ultimately give way to other steroidal options. As a veterinarian steroid, Equipoise is well-known for its use in horses, hence the name “Equipoise” and its similarity to the word “Equestrian.” EQ is often given to horses in an effort to increase lean body weight, which is in part due to the steroid’s ability to increase appetite. An increased appetite is well noted among many performance enhancing athletes that use Equipoise, however, it doesn’t appear to affect everyone the same. Many who use the anabolic steroid report no increase in appetite, it tends to be highly individualistic, but it could be useful for those struggling to consume needed calories.

As an off-season bulking steroid, Equipoise can add quality lean mass gains, but they will not come overnight, and will fall short of many anabolic steroids. Steroids like Deca Durabolin will produce far greater mass results, as will steroids like Anadrol and Dianabol; however, the latter two are often accompanied by large amounts of water retention. Some athletes have, however, reported stronger off-season gains when Equipoise is added to a total off-season stack rather than used as a base steroid. If appetite suppression is an issue, this steroid may very well help you consume the excess calories needed for off-season growth. Of course, while it may not be a tremendous mass building steroid, for some it may produce all the mass they want. Not everyone who uses anabolic steroids is looking for immense gains in size.

Equipoise is also well-noted for promoting increases in strength. An increase in strength can be very beneficial to an off-season mass plan, but perhaps more beneficial to the enhancement of athletic performance. Unfortunately, the extremely long detection time will prohibit many athletes from using EQ. Total detection time can stretch to five months. However, the steroid definitely provides numerous advantages to the athlete, not only in an increase in strength but a notable increase in muscular endurance. Recovery should also be enhanced. Regardless of the desired purpose of use, all who supplement with Equipoise will enjoy these related benefits.

Equipoise can also be used as a cutting steroid; in fact, this may be the most beneficial point of use. This anabolic steroid is an excellent protectant of lean muscle mass. In order to lose body fat, you must burn more calories than you consume, you must be in a caloric deficit, and this will hold true with or without anabolic steroid use. Unfortunately, a calorie deficit puts our lean muscle tissue at risk as the body will often take what it needs in order to meet its energy demands from our lean tissue. Proper dieting can greatly protect our lean muscle mass, but it can only go so far. Without the introduction of an anabolic steroid, some muscle mass will eventually and inevitably be lost. EQ will greatly protect you from this loss in lean tissue, and it has also been shown to have some very nice conditioning effects on the physique. Such effects will be greatly enhanced when combined with a non-aromatizing steroid like Masteron (Drostanolone) or Trenbolone. However, during most cutting plans of a competitive bodybuilding nature, while EQ is commonly used it is normally only used at the frontend of the cutting cycle. It will normally be discontinued during the later half of the plan due to possible estrogenic activity. While total estrogenic activity should be low, during this phase of supplementation any and all estrogenic activity is normally avoided or at least minimized to the lowest point possible.

Side Effects of Equipoise:

Equipoise is a generally well-tolerated anabolic steroid for most men, and is often very well-tolerated by many women when low doses are applied. Side effects of Equipoise use are certainly possible, but most healthy adults should find this anabolic steroid very manageable. In order to help you understand the possible side effects of Equipoise use as well as their management, we have broken them down into their specific categories along with all the related information you’ll need.

[1] Estrogenic:

The Boldenone hormone does not aromatize heavily, but it is aromatized to estrogen nonetheless. This is due to the testosterone hormone’s interaction with the aromatase enzyme. High levels of estrogen can prove problematic in their promotion of gynecomastia, excess water retention and high blood pressure if water retention becomes severe. Due to the moderate level of aromatizing activity, most men should find related side effects very easy to control. Moderate doses should be manageable, but many will find high doses to require added attention.

In order to combat the estrogenic side effects of Equipoise, an anti-estrogen medication is sometimes needed. Not all will need an anti-estrogen when using this steroid, but it’s always a good idea to at least have one on hand. The anti-estrogen medications you can choose include Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) like Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and Aromatase Inhibitors (AI’s) like Arimidex (Anastrozole). AI’s will prove to be the most effective as they inhibit the aromatase process and lower total serum estrogen levels. Unfortunately, they can have a negative impact on cholesterol, which is further enhanced by the use of an aromatizing steroid. SERM’s are not as effective, but they are often enough for many men. SERM’s will not inhibit the aromatase process from occurring, but rather bind at the estrogen receptor preventing the hormone itself from binding. As an added bonus, SERM’s may actually improve cholesterol levels due to their promotion of estrogenic activity in the liver. SERM’s should be your first choice due to potential cholesterol issues AI’s if they can get the job done.

[2] Androgenic:

Equipoise can produce androgenic side effects such as acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. However, the overall androgenicity of this steroid is greatly reduced due to the structural nature that creates EQ in its double bond at the carbon one and two position. Such side effects of Equipoise are still possible, but they will be strongly linked to genetic predisposition, but most will find the threshold is fairly high.

When combating the possible androgenic side effects of Equipoise, it’s important to note they are brought on by the steroid being metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This metabolism will reduce Boldenone to an extremely potent androgen in dihydroboldenone, far more potent than dihydrotestosterone (DHT); however, the total dihydroboldenone activity has proven to be extremely low in human beings. You will further find the androgenic nature of Boldenone will not be significantly affected by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride that are often used to combat the reduction to DHT.

Due to the androgenic nature of Equipoise, women may potentially experience virilization symptoms. Virilization symptoms may include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. However, the low androgenicity will make this steroid possible to use for some women without such symptoms. At the same time, the extremely slow acting nature of the compound can make it difficult to control regarding blood levels, and alternative steroids may be preferred. Without question, individual sensitivity will dictate a lot. If Equipoise is used and virilization symptoms begin to show, use should be discontinued immediately at their onset and they will fade away. If symptoms begin to show and are ignored, the symptoms may become irreversible.

[3] Cardiovascular:

The relative cardiovascular strain brought on by Equipoise should be much less than many anabolic steroids, especially those of an oral nature. Boldenone does have the ability to negatively affect cholesterol ratios, particularly in its ability to suppress HDL levels. However, it should not be of an extreme nature, and should be well within the realm of control for most healthy adults. Of course, the introduction of an AI to combat estrogenic effects will potentially enhance the improper lipid profiles, and should be considered when planning your cholesterol management.

All those who supplement with Equipoise as with all anabolic steroids should keep a close eye on their cholesterol levels, and should ensure they are healthy enough for use before supplementation begins. A cholesterol friendly lifestyle will be very important and should protect most who use Equipoise. Ensure your diet is cholesterol friendly and includes plenty of omega fatty acids. Incorporating plenty of cardiovascular activity is also highly advised.

[4] Testosterone:

Like all anabolic steroids, Equipoise will suppress natural testosterone production. The rate of suppression varies from one steroid to the next, and while EQ is not the most suppressive steroid it will produce a significant reduction in total serum testosterone levels. For this reason, most men will need to include exogenous testosterone in their total stack when using EQ. The form of testosterone is inconsequential. All that matters is your body receives the testosterone it needs in order to prevent a low testosterone condition. A low testosterone condition can be very problematic, it carries numerous possible symptoms and is extremely unhealthy. If testosterone is used as a base steroid in your cycle, suppression will not be a concern. However, if testosterone does not represent a base, you should ensure you apply a minimum testosterone replacement therapy related dose based on the testosterone compound you choose.

Once the use of Equipoise has come to an end and all the exogenous steroidal hormones have cleared your system, natural testosterone production will begin again. The revived production will occur on its own, but a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan is often recommended. A PCT plan will stimulate natural testosterone production and promote a more efficient recovery. It will not bring your testosterone levels back to where they were prior to anabolic steroid use, but it will provide an advantage. A well-planned PCT will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise. It should also significantly cut down the total time to full testosterone recovery; however, total recovery still may take several months post PCT.

Important notes on natural testosterone recovery and Equipoise use, as well as anabolic steroids in general. Natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone level existed. It also assumes severe damage was not done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper anabolic steroid supplementation practices. For those who include EQ in their cycle, your PCT plan should begin approximately 2 weeks after your last steroid injection, assuming the cycle ended with Equipoise. Many will find beginning HCG use ten days after the final injection to be the best route to follow, while following HCG use with SERM therapy. Alternatively, some may choose to end their Equipoise use well before the total conclusion of a cycle, end the cycle with only small ester base steroids and enable them to begin their PCT plan much sooner.

[5] Hepatotoxicity:

Boldenone is not a hepatotoxic anabolic steroid and will present no stress or damage to the liver.

Equipoise Administration:

Standard Equipoise doses will normally fall in the 200-400mg per week range. Most men will find 400mg to be very well-tolerated and generally the minimal amount of EQ they’ll want to use. Many will also find 600mg per week to be extremely well-tolerated with side effects being extremely easy to control. However, such doses will increase estrogenic potential. Due to the long activity of the steroid, most men could easily get by with one injection per week, but splitting the weekly dose into 2-3 smaller injections will cut down on total injection volume. Further, some have reported side effects are even easier to control with a smaller more frequent injection schedule despite an extremely long half-life.

Regardless of the total dose, Equipoise should be used for a minimum of 8 weeks. This is a very common duration of use in cutting cycles. Many cutting plans will begin with 8 weeks of Equipoise with an additional 4-8 weeks without the hormone opting for non-aromatizing agents. During the off-season period of use, 8 weeks will again be the minimum, but most will find 12 weeks to be far more efficient. Bulking or cutting, you will find Equipoise to be an extremely versatile anabolic steroid that stacks well with all anabolic steroids.

For female use, 50mg of Equipoise per week is a standard dose. Virilization is avoidable with this dose but will be highly dependent on sensitivity. Some women may be able to tolerate 75-100mg per week, but should not attempt such a dose until they have become comfortable with 50mg per week. Most women will also find 6 week cycles of Equipoise to be as far as they want to take it, with occasional 8 week runs by those who tolerate the hormone well.

Availability of Equipoise:

Equipoise is widely available on the veterinarian and black markets. The actual Equipoise brand by Fort Dodge Animal Health is commonly found on the black market, and nearly every underground lab on earth manufactures their own version of Boldenone Undecylenate. Unfortunately, when it comes to the Boldenone hormone, and this includes the Equipoise brand, we have one of the most commonly counterfeited anabolic steroids on the market. In fact, while it is impossible to prove an assumption that more have used counterfeit or low quality EQ than high quality the assumption is probably not off base. Under-dosing of this compound is a massive problem, as is labeling a vial EQ but it actually containing a large ester base testosterone.

Well-known brands include Equipoise by Fort Dodge Animal Health, although commonly counterfeited. Ganabol is another popular brand out of Columbia, but is also highly counterfeited. Alpha Pharma also manufactures the product under the Boldebolin name; this is a relatively new Boldenone compound. Again, you will further find most all underground labs carry the steroid, but you should be extremely careful when it comes to a purchase in order to ensure a quality product.

Equipoise Reviews:

Equipoise is a very versatile anabolic steroid that can be used for numerous purposes. We would not call it the most valuable or powerful anabolic steroid of all time, but in some circles it has received an undue poor reputation. This is in part due to the massive amount of counterfeit Equipoise on the market. It is also due to many often expecting benefits from the steroid that it is not intended to provide. If you’re expecting enormous increases in mass due to this steroid’s use, you’re going to be disappointed. However, some associate the quality of a steroid only on the basis of its ability to promote mass, and inevitably they give EQ a bad name. Mass promotion is not the only way anabolic steroids are to be judged; unfortunately, this way of thinking has plagued many steroid message boards for quite sometime and greatly damaged anabolic steroid education. Equipoise can be an excellent addition to a well-planned cycle, but you must understand what it can provide and how it can benefit you in order to get the most out of it.

Deca Durabolin is an extremely popular anabolic steroid comprised of the steroidal hormone Nandrolone and is attached to the large Decanoate ester. The Nandrolone hormone first appeared in 1960 and developed for commercial use in 1962 by Organon under the trade name Deca Durabolin. Since that time numerous Nandrolone Decanoate versions have hit the market, but Deca Durabolin remains the most recognized. This was not the first Nandrolone compound ever created, that would belong to Organon’s Durabolin, which is specifically Nandrolone Phenylpropionate. The Phenylpropionate version is much faster acting with a less active duration, and while Phenylpropionate forms are popular, Deca Durabolin has largely dominated the Nandrolone marketplace.

Deca Durabolin is one of the most commonly used anabolic steroids among performance enhancing athletes. It is well known for being a tremendously beneficial off-season mass steroid, but it’s also a favorite in many athletic circles for its therapeutic benefits. Due to its tremendous therapeutic benefits, the Nandrolone hormone is one of the most beneficial anabolic steroids in medical practice. However, due to years of anabolic steroid controversy such use has been quite limited in the U.S. for many years. Outside the U.S. Deca Durabolin remains a bit more popular in therapeutic treatment plans that can cover a host of areas.

Deca Durabolin Functions & Traits:

Deca Durabolin is officially classified as a 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) anabolic androgenic steroid. The 19-nor classification refers to its direct structural nature, which is the testosterone hormone lacking a carbon atom at the 19th position. While this is only a slight change in structure from the testosterone hormone, this slight change gives us a unique anabolic steroid. As a Nandrolone base, Deca Durabolin is attached to the large Decanoate ester, which controls the hormone’s releasing activity slowing it down tremendously. This allows the individual to make use of the Nandrolone hormone without the need for frequent injections. Once injected, as the Decanoate ester begins to detach there will be a sharp spike in Nandrolone released within the body during the first 24-48 hours. From this point, the hormone will continue to release into the body for approximately 2-3 weeks.

Deca Durabolin carries a relatively potent anabolic rating, slightly greater than testosterone. However, its total androgenic activity is much lower than testosterone, carrying an androgenic rating of only 37 compared to testosterone’s 100. The lessened androgenic activity of Deca Durabolin is due to the hormone’s ability to reduce to dihydronandrolone (DHN) rather than dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This makes Deca Durabolin a much milder steroid than testosterone, and one of the most well-tolerated anabolic steroids for healthy adult men. This tolerable nature is also evident by its low estrogenic activity. Deca Durabolin does aromatize, but only at approximately 20% the rate of testosterone. However, it does carry a strong progestin nature, and this will play into the side effects as we will see later on.

Like many anabolic steroids, Deca Durabolin has the ability to enhance protein synthesis, inhibit glucocorticoid hormones, and promote enhanced IGF-1 output. Like many anabolic steroids, Deca Durabolin also has the ability to increase nitrogen retention in the muscles, but it appears to have a stronger affect than many steroids in this regard. In fact, studies have shown that even low doses of Nandrolone can greatly enhance nitrogen retention. This is an important factor, as all muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen. While that may sound like a small amount, the more we retain the more anabolic we remain. When nitrogen levels are not maintained, this can cause us to enter a catabolic (muscle wasting) state.

Deca Durabolin is also well known for carrying two traits that are extremely important and largely separate it from many anabolic steroids. Again, many other steroids will carry these traits, but Deca Durabolin does so to a higher level. The traits in question are increasing bone mineral content and enhancing collagen synthesis. Due to these traits, Deca Durabolin is well known for promoting joint relief, and for many athletes that’s the only reason they’ll use it. Due to these traits, as well as its ability to increase red blood cell count, we can begin to see what types of therapeutic advantages this steroid can hold.

Deca Durabolin has been well noted for being an excellent steroid for those suffering from muscle wasting diseases, for improving geriatric weakness and fatigue, as well as anemia. Deca Durabolin has also been used to treat certain forms of breast cancer, has been life changing for severe burn victims, and even has the ability to treat ulcers. It has also been shown effective for treating pituitary deficient dwarfism, as well as development retardation in children. While Deca Durabolin has proven beneficial in all these areas, it has truly shined is in its ability to treat osteoporosis. This isn’t surprising when we consider the bone mineral content and collagen synthesis improvements. However, in the U.S. the compound is only used to treat those suffering from HIV and anemia, but some physicians are beginning to recognize the potential for therapeutic rejuvenation plans. Undoubtedly, at a low dose this steroid could provide a positive anti-aging benefit.

Effects of Deca Durabolin:

While the therapeutic benefits of Deca Durabolin are easy to see simply by understanding its basic nature, what most are concerned with is off-label use. Deca Durabolin is a long standing favorite among performance enhancing athletes, and while it is tremendously beneficial it is often grossly misunderstood. The misunderstanding is that this is only a bulking steroid, and while that is a fantastic point of use it is far from the only one. In fact, some competitive bodybuilders will use Deca Durabolin during their cutting phase, and during such a phase there’s no bulking going on. However, in order to understand the effects of Deca Durabolin and the varying beneficial points of use, you must remove a flawed way of thinking held by many anabolic steroid users. This type of thinking assumes all steroid progress is based on the enhancement of lean muscle tissue; specifically building more lean muscle tissue. Undoubtedly, this is the primary purpose of anabolic steroid use, but it is not the only one. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the varying positive effects of Deca Durabolin.

As an off-season bulking steroid, Deca Durabolin will provide significant gains in lean mass, but the increase in muscle mass will come slowly. This is a large ester based steroid, and it will not be fast acting. However, the mass built with this steroid will often be higher quality mass than compared to many anabolic steroids. Water retention is possible, but it should be fairly easy to control. Most should also find their strength increases to a degree, but Deca Durabolin is not what we’d call one of the stronger strength increasing steroids. During this off-season phase, the individual will also enjoy the therapeutic relief this steroid provides, which will be more than welcomed when off-season periods of growth are normally accompanied by the heaviest periods of weight training. This individual should also be able to acquire this new growth with less body fat accumulation that would normally otherwise occur. The use of anabolic steroids is well noted for enhancing the metabolic rate. This is nothing unique to Deca Durabolin, and while it will not directly burn body fat it will aid in the maintenance of a proper level. As off-season mass gains require excess calories, consider the metabolic enhancement an added bonus.

Many athletes, ball players, fighters, and any athlete who could benefit from the therapeutic relief often supplement with Deca Durabolin. Such individuals commonly have no desire to build any new lean muscle mass, but the relief alone is invaluable. Further, such relief can be obtained by a very low dose. A slightly higher dose will provide relief, greatly enhance overall recovery, and enhance muscular endurance. When it comes to performance enhancement, most athletes will find this steroid is hard to beat. More importantly, the relief effects of Deca Durabolin are not masking or false; this anabolic steroid shares nothing in common with over the counter painkillers or prescription painkillers like opiates. Such painkillers only mask the pain, whereas Deca Durabolin can actually heal the body.

Then we’re left with the cutting phase, and some athletes and bodybuilders will use Deca Durabolin during this phase of steroid use. Such use will be similar to direct athletic enhancement. The individual will supplement with a rather low dose for the relief and muscular endurance it can provide. This can be very welcomed during hard diets, as a true hardcore bodybuilding cutting diet is brutal on the human body. As an added bonus, Deca Durabolin will greatly preserve the individual’s lean muscle mass that would otherwise be lost during a necessary caloric deficit. While this steroid will not provide hardening or conditioning effects like many steroids, it can serve a purpose is some cutting plans.

Side Effects of Deca Durabolin:

Deca Durabolin is one of the more side effect friendly anabolic steroids for men and can prove useful for women, but normally only in therapeutic level doses. However, side effects of Deca Durabolin most certainly exist, but as we will see they largely fall into the realm of possible rather than guaranteed. With responsible use, most men will be able to use this steroid without the first negative effect. In order to achieve this level of safe supplementation, your first step is to recognize the possible side effects of Deca Durabolin, as well as what you can do about them. For an ease of understanding, we have broken down the side effects into separate categories along with the related information you’ll need.

Estrogenic:

The Nandrolone hormone is not very estrogenic, but it does carry a slight aromatizing nature. Aromatization refers to testosterone’s ability to convert to estrogen, a process that occurs due to the hormone’s interaction with the aromatase enzyme. As estrogen levels rise, this can promote gynecomastia, excess water retention and promote high blood pressure due to severe levels of water retention. Fortunately, the aromatase level of Deca Durabolin is low, but there is another factor to consider, which is its progestin nature. Nandrolone has a strong affinity for the progesterone receptor, as well as the ability to significantly stimulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue enhancing the risk of gynecomastia.

In order to protect from the possible estrogenic and progesterone related side effects of Deca Durabolin, an anti-estrogen medication is often recommended. There are two primary choices in anti-estrogens, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) like Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and Aromatase Inhibitors (AI’s) like Arimidex (Anastrozole). AI’s will be far more effective, but SERM’s should be the first choice if they can get the job done. Many choose to rely on AI’s due to their tremendous anti-estrogenic power, but AI’s have been noted to have a negative impact on cholesterol, and one that can be greatly exasperated with the use of anabolic steroids. Conversely, while SERM’s are sometimes not enough they will have no adverse effect on cholesterol. In fact, SERM’s have actually been shown to improve cholesterol levels.

An important note of interest on the side effects of Deca Durabolin as it pertains to gynecomastia. It has long been assumed and passed around numerous steroid message boards that the cause of 19-nor induced gynecomastia is prolactin, not progesterone stimulation. This has been argued heavily regarding the 19-nor Trenbolone, but with Nandrolone as well. In his Anabolics series, William Llewellyn explains how the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone is what leads to gynecomastia. If this is not addressed and you’re merely combating a possible prolactin buildup, you may not be providing the protection you need.

Androgenic:

Deca Durabolin can produce androgenic side effects; however, the threshold tends to be rather high for most men. Possible androgenic side effects of Deca Durabolin include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness, and body hair growth. Such side effects are strongly dependent on genetic predispositions, but most men should find no problems exist. Unlike testosterone, Nandrolone is reduced to DHN rather than DHT, and while this takes place due to interaction with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme it greatly reduces the androgenicity of Nandrolone.

An important note regarding the androgenic side effects of Deca Durabolin or any Nandrolone hormone: Many choose to use 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride to combat androgenic side effects brought on by anabolic steroids. However, the use of a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor along with Deca Durabolin will enhance the steroid’s androgenicity. It will actually have the opposite effect and increase the risk of androgenic side effects.

The androgenic nature of Deca Durabolin may lead to virilization symptoms in women. Virilization symptoms can include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords, and clitoral enlargement. Women can use this steroid without virilizing effects, but it will require very low doses, and there are often better steroids for females to choose. If Nandrolone is desired, faster acting Phenylpropionate may be the way to go as it’s easier to control, but the odds of beating virilization symptoms are not as great as they are with steroids like Anavar or Primobolan. Regardless, if virilization symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately, and they will fade away. If such symptoms are ignored, they may become permanent.

Cardiovascular:

Deca Durabolin can have a negative impact on cholesterol by skewing the HDL and LDL ratios. This potential negative effect will be most prominent as it pertains to HDL cholesterol suppression. Studies have shown that the Nandrolone hormone will actually have a stronger, negative impact on HDL cholesterol than testosterone. However, the total cardiovascular strain should be much less than most oral steroids.

Due to the potential cholesterol issues caused by Deca Durabolin, maintaining a cholesterol friendly lifestyle during use will be extremely important. This should not only include a cholesterol friendly diet, but one that is rich in omega fatty acids and that ensures you implement plenty of cardiovascular activity into your routine. It’s also important to keep in mind that if you use an Aromatase Inhibitor when supplementing with Deca Durabolin, you will need to give your cholesterol even more attention. Of all the possible side effects of Deca Durabolin, this is the one you’ll want to keep the closest eye on, and all are encouraged to keep a very close eye on their cholesterol throughout the duration of use as well as post use.

Testosterone:

Deca Durabolin like all anabolic steroids is suppressive to natural testosterone production. The rate of suppression varies from one steroid to the next, but with Deca Durabolin, and all Nandrolone based compounds, it will be extreme. Some studies have shown that a single 100mg dosing of the steroid will suppress total natural production. Other studies, while they do not show near the rate of suppression, are still more than significant and often a representation of at least 2/3rd total reduction in serum testosterone levels. For this reason, all men who supplement with Deca Durabolin should include exogenous testosterone. The form of testosterone you choose is of no consequence, all that matters is that your body is provided with the testosterone it needs. Failure to supplement with exogenous testosterone will result in a low testosterone condition. Such a condition can be quite bothersome; it comes with numerous possible symptoms but, more importantly, is extremely unhealthy.

Once the use of Deca Durabolin has come to an end and all the exogenous steroidal hormones have cleared your system, natural testosterone production will begin again. It will not occur overnight, and for this reason a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan is often recommended. This will speed up the recovery process as well as improve the overall efficiency. No, contrary to popular myth, there is no PCT plan that will return your natural testosterone levels back to normal all on its own. Total recovery will take several months. However, a PCT plan will ensure you have enough testosterone in order for proper function while your levels continue to naturally rise.

Important notes on natural testosterone recovery post Deca Durabolin use: Natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone condition existed. It also assumes no severe damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper practices. It is also important to note that a PCT plan should not begin until Deca Durabolin has been discontinued for at least 2-3 weeks. Most will find ending their Deca Durabolin use before the total conclusion of their cycle to be the best way to go.

Hepatotoxicity:

Deca Durabolin is not toxic to the liver and will present no stress or damage to the vital organ.

Deca Durabolin Administration:

Deca Durabolin is a very slow acting steroid that does not have to be injected all that frequently. In most therapeutic treatment plans the compound is only administered once every 2-4 weeks with every 3-4 weeks being far more common. The exception would be in the treatment of anemia; when treating anemia Deca Durabolin is normally administered once per week. For any performance related pursuit, a single injection per week will be more than suitable. However, some will choose to split this up into two small injections per week in order to cut down on the total injection volume.

The standard dosing range for Deca Durabolin normally falls in the 100mg every 2-4 week range for basic therapeutic treatment and 100-200mg per week for the treatment of anemia. For the athlete looking for rejuvenation and relief, 100mg per week is a fine starting point, but most will be much happier with 200mg per week results. Such a dosing will ensure recovery, relief, and endurance are all enhanced as well as provide a slight anabolic boost. For true anabolic gains, 300mg per week is normally considered the low-end dose. Many will find 400mg per week to be the perfect dosing level, and more importantly, well within a controllable level. Many men may be able to tolerate doses as high as 600mg per week. This will increase the risk of adverse effects and often 400mg per week is more than enough, but varying circumstances will dictate the individual outcome.

Deca Durabolin should not be used for less than 8 weeks when used as a performance enhancing tool. The compound is extremely slow acting, and the individual will need to use it for an extended period of time to reap a reward. Eight weeks should be the minimum, but once discontinued the compound will still be active in the body for several weeks. As 8 weeks is our minimum, 10-12 weeks will be very acceptable for most men. Use can stretch past this point but is rarely recommended; most will not implement cycles much longer than 12-16 weeks outside hardcore performance circles, and in those cases, a rotation of steroidal hormones is highly advised.

For female athletes, 50mg per week for no more than 4-6 weeks is normally all that can be tolerated. There will be some who may be able to handle a 100mg per week dosing, but such a dose will normally produce virilization symptoms in most women. For standard therapeutic treatment plans, Deca Durabolin will normally be administered at 50-100mg every 3-4 weeks. In the treatment of anemia, 50-100mg per week is standard.

Availability of Deca Durabolin:

Deca Durabolin is readily available on the pharmaceutical and black markets. However, you will not find a Nandrolone compound currently manufactured by a U.S. pharmacy. Further, Organon has completely removed Deca Durabolin from the U.S. market focusing all its attention on other markets around the world due to the U.S. laws surrounding anabolic steroids. Any Nandrolone legitimately obtained in the U.S. will be imported.

The black market supply of Nandrolone is high in most countries around the world, including the U.S. However, while counterfeits do not overwhelm the market they have been a problem. The original Deca Durabolin should be easy to find on the black market as well as Greek Normal Hellas and Alpha Pharma’s Nandrobolin among numerous other brands.

Deca Durabolin Reviews:

Deca Durabolin is one of the most effective and beneficial anabolic steroids of all time. Most men will tolerate this steroid quite well, and while it benefits the most advanced steroid user, it will be a great steroid for someone relatively new to supplementation. In order to appreciate Deca Durabolin, consider the history of anabolic steroids. There have been numerous anabolic steroids that have appeared over the last 75 years, and through that time Deca Durabolin has remained a top the list. It’s popularity has not waned, and there hasn’t been another steroid made that could surpass it when it comes to its specific functions. For many anabolic steroid users, it is considered essential to off-season mass gaining plans. In fact, there may be no stack as popular as a simple testosterone, Dianabol and Deca Durabolin.

Without question, the therapeutic benefits of Deca Durabolin cannot be ignored. Such benefits have largely been ignored in the U.S. but many physicians are beginning to come around. The benefits of this steroid in this regard are seemingly limitless.

Tri-Trenabol is an extremely powerful Trenbolone blend containing three active Trenbolone compounds mixed together in a single unit. On a functional basis, we will find Tri-Trenabol to be identical to all single ester Trenbolone compounds, which raises an important question, what’s the point? Tri-Trenabol was first developed in 2004 by the late underground lab British Dragon, the single largest and most powerful underground lab to ever exist. British Dragon carried a base of customers and built a company with profits that rivaled many legitimate pharmaceutical companies, but the company hasn’t existed in some time. When they created Tri-Trenabol, while a very effective anabolic steroid, it was manufactured more for marketing purposes than anything else. It is not superior or inferior to any Trenbolone form, but carrying three Trenbolone forms did create a certain level of marketing appeal. On a marketing basis, you could almost call the creation of the Tri-Trenabol compound genius.

Although British Dragon has been out of business for sometime, there are a handful of large underground labs that continue to manufacture a Trenbolone blend containing three Trenbolone compounds. In fact, Diamond Pharmaceuticals now carries the same mixture using the old British Dragon Tri-Trenabol name. You will also find several new underground labs now in existence that have grabbed the British Dragon name, and some of them also manufacture a related product.

Tri-Trenabol Functions & Traits:

Tri-Trenabol is a 19-nortestoserone (19-nor) anabolic androgenic steroid. The 19-nor classification refers to the testosterone hormone lacking the carbon atom at the 19^th position, a classification you may recognize from Nandrolone. In fact, the Trenbolone hormone is a derivative of Nandrolone. Specifically, it is the Nandrolone hormone with an added double bond at carbons 9 and 11, which slows the hormone’s metabolism, increases its androgen binding affinity and inhibits the hormone from aromatizing. While this represents only a slight change in structure from the Nandrolone hormone, it is enough to make the Trenbolone hormone very unique.

Tri-Trenabol contains three active Trenbolone hormones, Trenbolone Acetate, Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate and Trenbolone Enanthate. As it carries two large/long ester base forms in Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate and Enanthate, this will make it a rather slow acting compound overall. The total action on a timed basis will be very similar to a single ester Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate compound best known by the trade name Parabolan. As you may recall, Parabolan is the only Trenbolone hormone to ever be manufactured for human use. Tri-Trenabol contains 50mg of that form, Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate and 50mg of Acetate and 50mg of Enanthate per milliliter.

In order to understand the functions and traits of Tri-Trenabol we merely need to understand Trenbolone. Trenbolone is an anabolic steroid derived from Nandrolone that carries an anabolic rating of 500 and an androgenic rating of 500. Not only are its structural ratings tremendous, its translating anabolic and androgenic activity will match its ratings, which isn’t always the case with all steroids. Trenbolone will also carry several primary steroidal traits similar to many other anabolic steroids, but it will carry them at rates of power far beyond what other steroids can do. It will also carry one trait revolving around food that really separates it from most and is precisely what makes Trenbolone imperative to the livestock market in the U.S. (Trenbolone Acetate in the form of Fina pellets is used in livestock.)

The following seven traits represent how the Trenbolone hormone functions, and as a result, how Tri-Trenabol functions. You will notice many of these traits are identical to many anabolic steroids, such as those surrounding nitrogen and IGF-1; however, Trenbolone carries them at far greater rates of power. The primary traits of Trenbolone include:

• Enhanced Nitrogen Retention: The more nitrogen we retain the more anabolic we remain. Conversely, a nitrogen deficiency will lead to a catabolic (muscle wasting) state. As we retain more nitrogen, we are not only primed for tissue building but this is an important factor in the preservation of such tissue.
• Increased IGF-1 Production: Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is highly anabolic, essential to our body’s ability to recover and affects nearly every cell in the human body. This hormone will play a strong role on the tendons and ligaments, muscle tissue, cartilage and even our central nervous system and the more that’s available the better job it can do.
• Enhanced Protein Synthesis: Protein is the primary building block of muscle tissue and synthesis represents the rate by which cells build proteins. This will enhance the body’s anabolic atmosphere, enable more tissue to be built, ensure a sound preservation atmosphere and greatly improve recovery.
• Increased Red Blood Cell Count: As production goes up so does muscular endurance as red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. This will also have a positive impact on recovery and even growth to a degree.
• Decreased Glucocorticoid Production: Glucocorticoid hormones (stress hormones) are necessary to our health but only in small amounts. These hormones have the ability to destroy muscle tissue and promote fat gain. In fact, they are in many ways the opposite of anabolic steroids and anabolic steroids are often prescribed when a patient has experienced too much exposure to corticosteroids. With compounds like Tri-Trenabol you will ensure your glucocorticoid levels, especially cortisol, stays at a minimal level.
• Strong Androgen Binding: Tri-Trenabol will bind firmly to the androgen receptor. Steroids that bind firmly have been shown to be a little more powerful in an anabolic sense, but this firm binding has more importantly shown strong fat burning effects. Most all anabolic steroids will stimulate the metabolism, but those that bind firmly to the androgen receptor will actually promote direct lipolysis.
• Enhanced Feed Efficiency: By enhancing feed efficiency, often referred to as nutrient efficiency, we simply make better use of each protein, fat and carbohydrate we consume. The body is now able to utilize each gram to a greater degree. This is perhaps the most valuable trait of Tri-Trenabol, Trenbolone or any anabolic steroid on earth.

Effects of Tri-Trenabol:

Trenbolone is well known for being one of the single greatest cutting steroids of all time, and as a result, that’s when most will use Tri-Trenabol. The effects of Tri-Trenabol during this phase of use will equal the following:

• Preservation: Losing body fat requires a calorie deficit and this puts lean tissue at risk. Tri-Trenabol will protect your lean tissue that would otherwise be lost along with body fat without anabolic protection. Successful dieting is both of these factors, fat loss and tissue preservation.
• Fat Loss: Due to the metabolic enhancement you will burn body fat at a higher and more efficient rate. Due to the strong binding to the androgen receptor, Tri-Trenabol will actually promote direct fat loss, not merely a spiked metabolism.
• Conditioning: The effects of Tri-Trenabol are well known for promoting a harder and dryer physique, and one that is far more defined when the body is lean. Even if you are not bodybuilding contest lean you should notice a notable improvement in conditioning, but the leaner you are the stronger the look will be.

While Tri-Trenabol is a fantastic cutting steroid some do not think of Trenbolone as a bulking steroid, but it’s one of the best. There are very few anabolic steroids that can pack on lean mass like Trenbolone. You may not gain as much weight that could accompany the use of other steroids, but often the extra weight is just water. Trenbolone does not aromatize meaning every last ounce of weight gained will be muscle tissue, and with adequate calories it will be significant. The individual should also find he gains less fat when using Tri-Trenabol during his off-season phase of training. Off-season growth requires excess calories and this can lead to fat gain; even with Trenbolone some fat gain may occur. However, if we do not overdo the excess consumption and supplement with steroids like Tri-Trenabol off-season body fat gain will be minimized. You should also find your strength increases dramatically during this phase of use.

As with many steroids, Tri-Trenabol will greatly improve muscular endurance and the overall rate of recovery. It is one of the best steroids on earth for recovery. However, some have reported that cardiovascular endurance becomes a little weaker with this steroid, but this is also very hit or miss. It does not appear to affect everyone this way and many athletes have enjoyed success with Tri-Trenabol and other Trenbolone compounds. In fact, while it can reduce cardiovascular endurance, the fear of this is commonly exaggerated.

Side Effects of Tri-Trenabol:

There are several possible side effects of Tri-Trenabol use. We cannot call this an extremely side effect friendly steroid, but we cannot call it one to be fearful of either. Over the years, and it really doesn’t make a lot of sense, while those of an anti-steroid nature have embellished steroid dangers many steroid users have implemented a fear of this hormone that’s a bit ridiculous. Remember, although powerful Trenbolone is merely a structurally altered form of Nandrolone, which itself is just a structurally altered form of testosterone. There’s nothing strange or out of the ordinary going on with this hormone.

When looking at the possible side effects of Tri-Trenabol, we will find they are very similar to many anabolic steroids. However, we will find there are a few response effects that cannot occur with other steroids and are what have caused so much confusion regarding Trenbolone. In order to help you understand the possible side effects of Tri-Trenabol we have broken them down into their separate categories along with all you’ll need to know.

• Estrogenic: The side effects of Tri-Trenabol are not estrogenic in the traditional sense. This steroid does not aromatize and that will make water retention impossible and gynecomastia far less likely. However, it is a progestin and progesterone has the ability to stimulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue thereby promoting gynecomastia. Men who are sensitive will have the strongest concern. It should also be noted heavy amounts of aromatase activity brought on by other steroids will enhance the probability of gynecomastia. Anti-estrogen medications will protect against the progestin nature of Tri-Trenabol.
• Androgenic: As Trenbolone is highly androgenic the possible side effects of Tri-Trenabol will include those of an androgenic nature. The possible androgenic side effects of Tri-Trenabol include acne, hair loss and body hair growth. While all are possible they are highly dependent on genetic predispositions. For example, only those predisposed to male pattern baldness are at risk of losing hair. If you are not predisposed hair loss will be impossible. If you are predisposed, you’re going to lose your hair with or without Trenbolone, but the presence of the hormone may speed up the loss. It should be noted – the Trenbolone hormone is one of the worst when it comes to promoting hair loss in men predisposed to male pattern baldness.Many men will be tempted to use a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like Finasteride in order to combat the androgenic side effects of Tri-Trenabol, but it will in this case be useless. Trenbolone is not metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and there is nothing to inhibit. You will not be able to reduce the androgenicity of this hormone.Tri-Trenabol like all Trenbolone hormones is not recommended to women due to its potent androgenic nature. This steroid will strongly promote virilization symptoms, which can include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. Even with very low doses some level of virilization will more than likely occur and this hormone is not recommended.
• Cardiovascular: The side effects of Tri-Trenabol can include high blood pressure in some men. Water retention is the number one cause of high blood pressure among steroid users, and that shouldn’t be an issue here, but high blood pressure is still possible in some men. Keeping the dose at a reasonable level will protect most men as will a blood pressure friendly lifestyle bearing no existing underlying issues.The Trenbolone hormone can also have a negative impact on cholesterol by reducing HDL (good cholesterol) and increasing LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. The relative impact of Trenbolone on cholesterol will be stronger than testosterone but weaker than most oral steroids. A cholesterol friendly lifestyle will be imperative in those supplementing with Tri-Trenabol. If you already suffer from high cholesterol you should not touch this steroid. If you are healthy enough for use, it is recommended that your diet be rich in omega fatty acids and low in simple sugars and saturated fats. Daily fish oil supplementation along with daily cardiovascular activity is advised. Many may also find a cholesterol antioxidant supplement to be beneficial.
• Testosterone: The side effects of Tri-Trenabol include testosterone suppression in all men who supplement. Most all anabolic steroids will suppress natural testosterone production. The rate of suppression is dependent on the steroid in question and the total dose, but even with a low dose of Tri-Trenabol suppression will be very significant. For this reason, the inclusion of exogenous testosterone is imperative in order to avoid a low testosterone condition. A low testosterone condition can come with numerous possible symptoms and is extremely damaging to the individual’s health. The form of testosterone you choose is inconsequential, all that matters is that the body receives what it needs.Once the use of Tri-Trenabol has come to an end and all the exogenous hormones have cleared the system natural testosterone production will begin again. However, at this stage you will still be at a low level state and it will take some time to recover your full level of production. Most men are strongly encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) program in order to stimulate natural testosterone production. This will greatly cut down on the total time to recovery and ensure you do not fall into a low level state. A solid PCT plan will generally include SERM’s like Clomid and Nolvadex along with the possible addition of the peptide hormone HCG.It should be noted – recovery of natural testosterone production assumes no prior low testosterone condition existed. It also assumes the body was not damaged due to improper supplementation practices.
• Hepatotoxicity: Trenbolone is generally considered a non-hepatotoxic steroid making liver damage or stress highly unlikely. However, toxicity has been noted in some individuals who have abused the hormone.
• Response: There are four possible side effects of Tri-Trenabol that are response related. These side effects will not show in all men who use the hormone, but they will make it impossible for some men to use the Trenbolone hormone. The response side effects of Tri-Trenabol include anxiety, insomnia, night sweats and rapid heart rate.Through steroid message boards, over the years many have begun to assume if such effects of Trenbolone do not exist it must mean the product is no good. Not only is this ridiculous it really doesn’t make any sense. Successful anabolic steroid use, regardless of the steroid in question, can only be deemed successful without problematic side effects. If the response side effects of Tri-Trenabol exist, and they can exist heavily, you can try cutting back the dose and this may fix the problem. However, due to the individualistic nature of man some will not be able to use this hormone at any dose.

Tri-Trenabol Administration:

Tri-Trenabol doses will most commonly fall in the 150-300mg per week range. Many men will be able to tolerate 450mg per week but this will increase the risk of possible side effects. Most will want to start with 150mg per week and gauge their response. It is also important to keep in mind, as this is an extremely powerful anabolic steroid it will not take a lot to produce noticeable results. Regardless of your Tri-Trenabol dose, 8-12 weeks of use is common with most finding the 8 week range to be the most tolerable. As for stacking, Tri-Trenabol stacks well with any and all anabolic steroids. During off-season periods of use, some form of testosterone with the possible addition of Dianabol or Anadrol is common. Some may also find Nandrolone to be beneficial, but this combo is normally reserved for advanced steroid users. During the cutting phase, at least a minimal amount of testosterone is advised. Other steroids that stack well with Tri-Trenabol include Anavar, Primobolan and Winstrol.

Availability of Tri-Trenabol:

The original Tri-Trenabol product is no longer available and hasn’t been for a number of years. However, you will find there are a few large underground labs that manufacture a three-part Trenbololen blend using the same Trenbolone hormones, but we cannot speak on their quality. Caution is advised if you decide to make a purchase. You should also keep in mind Tri-Trenabol products will typically cost a bit more than single ester Trenbolone compounds and a blend provides no advantage over single ester forms.

Tri-Trenabol Reviews:

Tri-Trenabol is an excellent anabolic steroid. Like all Trenbolone hormones it is extremely versatile and extremely powerful and assuming the individual enjoys a positive response one of the most beneficial anabolic steroids of all time. The Trenbolone hormone is considered king in bodybuilding circles and often deemed a must during phases of competition. It is also a favorite of many gym rats and powerful enough to outweigh multiple other steroids being stacked together. However, keep in mind there’s nothing special about Tri-Trenabol compared to say Trenbolone Acetate, the most commonly available Trenbolone and most affordable. Unless it’s the only form of Trenbolone you can get, there is no advantage that Tri-Trenabol holds over any Trenbolone form.

Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate represents the dominant large ester based Trenbolone compound on the market. It was first released by the France based Negma Laboratories in the late 1960’s under the trade name Parabolan. This represents the first and only Trenbolone hormone to ever exist in human grade form. Parabolan was prescribed for many years in cases of malnutrition, which will make a lot of sense as we dive into the compound. It was also prescribed to treat osteoporosis in some cases, as well as in the treatment of cachexia. However, in 1997 Negma would pull Parabolan from the market. As the first human grade pharmaceutical Trenbolone compound, it was also the last.

Parabolan is very similar to the more popular Trenbolone Acetate (Fina) compound. The only difference is the ester attached, as Parabolan will provide a much slower release of Trenbolone requiring fewer injections. The functional traits and characteristics of the Trenbolone hormone do not change based on the attached ester.

As it is no longer prescribed the Trenbolone hormone is predominantly found in performance enhancing circles. It is one of the most powerful steroids on the market carrying tremendous versatility. The hormone is also found on the veterinarian market in Trenbolone Acetate in cattle implants, but Parabolan or related forms are only found in black market circles currently. In such circles, Parabolan along with all Trenbolone forms is often viewed as the essential steroid in the world of competitive bodybuilding for it’s incredible conditioning effects. However, it will also hold tremendous mass building properties that are beyond most steroid’s capabilities.

Parabolan Functions & Traits:

Parabolan, officially labeled Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate is a structurally altered form of Nandrolone. Nandrolone being the hormone most commonly associated with Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate). For the Trenbolone hormone to exist, the Nandrolone hormone has an added double bond at carbon positions 9 and 11. This greatly increases the hormones androgen binding affinity and inhibits the hormone from aromatizing. Parabolan carries no aromatizing nature. This slight modification also slows down the metabolism of the hormone resulting in a far more potent anabolic and androgenic nature than Nandrolone, far beyond testosterone as well. In order to understand this hormone’s power, consider its anabolic and androgenic ratings. Trenbolone carries an anabolic rating of 500 as well as an androgenic rating of 500. All steroids carry a rating measured against the rating of testosterone, which carries a rating of 100 in both categories. More importantly, the Trenbolone hormone’s ratings match up perfectly to its translating activity. This is not always the case as can be seen in steroids like Halotestin (Fluoxymesterone) and Proviron (Mesterolone) to name a few. You will be hard pressed to find an anabolic steroid that carries the raw anabolic and androgenic power of Parabolan.

As an anabolic steroid, Parabolan carries with it numerous common steroidal traits associated with anabolic power. Many of these traits are shared by many other anabolic steroids, but in the case of the Trenbolone hormone it carries them with a far greater rate of power. This steroid has the ability to enhance protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in the muscles far more so than most steroids. This is important as protein synthesis refers to the rate by-which cells build proteins. As proteins are the building blocks of muscle, this promotes a potent anabolic atmosphere. The enhanced rate of nitrogen retention again promotes this atmosphere and protects the body from catabolism. All lean muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen and a deficiency will lead to a catabolic state.

Parabolan also has the ability to greatly increase red blood cell count and IGF-1 output. The increased red blood cell count is important as red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. This not only promotes greater muscular endurance, but again revs up the total anabolic activity. When it comes to anabolic activity, this is precisely why the increased presence of IGF-1 is important. IGF-1 is a powerfully potent anabolic hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body. This simple hormone also plays a tremendous role on our body’s recovery process.

The Trenbolone hormone is also well noted for being one of the best inhibitors of glucocorticoid hormones or stress hormones like cortisol. These hormones are in many ways the complete opposite of anabolic steroids in that they destroy muscle tissue and promote fat storage. With this trait, along with the insanely potent anabolic atmosphere, the individual should find a greatly enhanced metabolic rate. However, he should also find steroids like Parabolan also have the ability to directly promote lipolysis due to its tremendous binding affinity for the androgen receptor. Most all anabolic steroids can promote an enhanced metabolic rate, but very few tend to support direct fat loss and Parabolan tends to promote it at a notable rate.

All of the mentioned traits make Parabolan a remarkable anabolic steroid, but it carries another that truly separates the Trenbolone hormone from the rest of the pack. This anabolic steroid has the ability to remarkably increase feed efficiency or nutrient efficiency. This is the very reason Fina pellets are administered to cattle shortly before slaughter in order to beef them up for a higher return on the market. By increasing feed efficiency, this makes every last nutrient more valuable than it would be otherwise. Every gram of protein, fats and carbohydrates we consume is utilized at a higher rate, less is wasted and a greater benefit is gained. A good way to look at it is as you would the money in your pocket. Imagine being able to buy ten dollars worth of goods and services with every one-dollar you have. Perhaps a slight oversimplification, but it’s not that far off.

Effects of Parabolan.

By understanding the functions and traits of the steroid it should be fairly easy to see that the effects of Parabolan are nothing short of remarkable. So remarkable, the effects of Parabolan will be beneficial to the steroid user in just about any type of cycle.

Through the traits of Parabolan, we have one of the best cutting steroids of all time. In fact, cutting is when most will use the Trenbolone hormone. It is so effective for this purpose many competitive bodybuilders will not prepare for a show without it. The fat loss effects of Parabolan alone make this steroid worthwhile during this phase of use, but it does not end there. When we diet and it does not matter how well planned our diet is, but when we diet we will lose some muscle mass. In order to burn body fat we must burn more calories than we consume and this necessary action puts our lean tissue at risk. The body will pull what it needs from lean muscle mass at some point, and this will be very true the leaner we get. The human body will begin to burn muscle mass rather than body fat in an effort to save the fat for emergency. It’s part of our body’s natural internal function. Thankfully the use of Parabolan due to its wildly powerful anabolic nature will preserve this muscle mass. We will now burn more body fat and protect a larger amount of our lean muscle mass, however, the effects of Parabolan on cutting do not end there. The Trenbolone hormone will harden a physique like no other. In fact, you could combine numerous other steroids together and not receive the conditioning effects of Trenbolone. Once lean enough, you will appear harder, more vascular and far more defined.

Many understand Trenbolone is a tremendous cutting steroid, but it’s also a fantastic bulking steroid. Remember, Parabolan carries an insanely high anabolic rating that actually translates into real life action. It will be possible to gain more actual mass or weight with some other steroids, but that will often include a lot of water weight and larger amounts of body fat due to the high levels of estrogenic activity. As Trenbolone carries no estrogenic nature every last ounce of weight gained due to the use of Parabolan will be pure lean muscle tissue. Due to the metabolic enhancement provided by Parabolan, the individual will also gain less body fat during his off-season. This doesn’t mean no body fat gain will occur. In order to gain lean muscle mass of any note, we must consume a caloric surplus, and this will promote body fat gain. The key to success during the off-season is to limit this fat gain as much as possible while simultaneously gaining new muscle mass. A slight increase above maintenance in calorie consumption is the first step, limiting carbohydrate consumption to only what you absolutely need is the second, and adding in steroids like Parabolan is the third.

The effects of Parabolan do not end with cutting and mass promotion. This steroid will promote enhanced muscular endurance better than most steroids. It will also dramatically improve the individual’s overall rate of recovery. The individual will not tire out as fast and he will recover from hard, intense exercise or activity at an accelerated rate. Due to the powerful androgenic activity, the individual will find this steroid also greatly promotes increases in strength. In fact, some may even notice a slight increase during a cutting phase. Of course, most all will find strength diminishes to a degree when cutting, but more of it will be protected when dieting than would be otherwise. Due to these effects of Parabolan, enhanced endurance, recovery and strength, it can be a fantastic steroid for athletic performance. However, some individuals report decreases in cardiovascular endurance. However, it WILL NOT affect everyone this way. Many will simply enjoy the positive effects of Parabolan.

Side Effects of Parabolan:

Parabolan is not what we’d call the most side effect friendly anabolic steroid. Side effects of Parabolan are undoubtedly possible, but they are often blown way out of proportion. This is a common practice by those who hold to an anti-steroid sentiment, but in the case of the side effects of Parabolan it’s often steroid users who are the biggest offenders. This steroid will carry some very common possible steroid side effects. However, it will also carry a few that while possible tend to be a bit unique to the Trenbolone hormone. Such effects are highly dependent on response. Dose can play a role but response is the primary factor. Because these effects will be pronounced strongly many have begun to inaccurately assume that their Trenbolone is no good if such effects do not occur. This is an insane way of thinking. Others assume the steroid should not be used unless you have years of anabolic steroid experience. Again, this is insane thinking. If you are a poor responder you’ll be a poor responder in your first year of steroid use or your twentieth. In order to understand the side effects of Parabolan, we have separated them into their respected categories along with everything you need to know.

[1] Estrogenic:

Parabolan does not aromatize and carries no estrogenic activity. However, estrogenic side effects are still possible with this steroid due to a strong progestin nature. Water retention will not be a concern, but gynecomastia will be possible in some men depending on sensitivity. While there is no estrogenic activity, progesterone has the ability to simulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue leading to gynecomastia. In order to protect from such action, some men may need an anti-estrogen medication, but many will be fine without it. Again, sensitivity will be the primary issue.

[2] Androgenic:

The Trenbolone hormone is highly androgenic, and as a result, the side effects of Parabolan can include strong related effects. Such side effects of Parabolan include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. Such effects will be linked to genetic predispositions but they are quite possible in many men who use the hormone. To combat such side effects, some will be tempted to use a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. However, the Trenbolone hormone is not metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and related inhibitors will have no notable affect in reducing the androgenicity of the hormone.

Due to the androgenic nature of Parabolan, virilization symptoms are very possible when women supplement with this steroid. Virilization symptoms can include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. Most women who use this steroid will experience such symptoms at some level even with low doses. It is very possible to reverse such symptoms if use is discontinued at their onset, but they will often become permanent if allowed to set in. For this reason, most women are encouraged to seek out steroids with lower virilization ratings if anabolic steroids are to be used. Such compounds commonly include Anavar (Oxandrolone) and Primobolan (Methenolone) as well as Winstrol (Stanozolol) and possibly Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) at low doses.

[3] Cardiovascular:

Parabolan can have a notable adverse effect on cholesterol. It’s not as strong as many anabolic steroids, especially most oral steroids but it is notable enough. High blood pressure is also possible, but cholesterol will be the primary issue. For this reason a healthy lifestyle, one that is cholesterol friendly is imperative when supplementing with the Trenbolone hormone. If you already suffer from high cholesterol or blood pressure you should not use this steroid. If you are healthy enough for use, you should ensure your diet is cholesterol friendly, low in saturated fats and simple sugars and rich in omega fatty acids. You should also ensure you include plenty of cardiovascular training into your routine. Maintaining your health is very important when using anabolic steroids and it is more than possible with this steroid, but it will take some effort on your part.

[4] Testosterone:

All anabolic steroids suppress natural testosterone production. However, the rate of suppression varies greatly from one steroid to the next. In the case of Trenbolone the rate of suppression will be extreme. For this reason, all men who supplement with Parabolan are encouraged to include exogenous testosterone in their plan. Failure to include exogenous testosterone will result in a low testosterone condition. Such a condition can come with numerous bothersome symptoms that can affect your physical, mental and sexual wellbeing. Many inaccurately assume if they do not suffer from the sexually related symptoms their levels are not low, but this simply isn’t true. Further, such a condition is extremely unhealthy. Including exogenous testosterone is imperative.

Once all anabolic steroid use comes to an end, your natural testosterone production will begin again. At the conclusion of the cycle, most are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan. This will stimulate natural production to a greater rate and greatly reduce the overall recovery time. It will not bring your levels back to normal on its own. There’s no PCT plan on earth that can do this. However, it will improve the recovery rate and ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.

An important note, natural recovery assumes no prior existing low testosterone condition. It also assumes no severe damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper use or irresponsible supplementation practices.

[5] Hepatotoxic:

The Trenbolone hormone is generally not a hepatotoxic steroid. A level of toxicity is possible but appears to be limited to extremely high doses of the steroid. Most who use Parabolan will not experience any stress or damage to the liver.

[6] Response:

The final side effects of Parabolan include four reactions that are predominantly due to a poor response to the hormone. If you are a positive responder, it may be possible to fall prey to such effects with extremely high doses. However, a true negative responder will often find such effects occur regardless of the dose. The response base side effects of Parabolan include anxiety, insomnia, night sweats and rapid heart rate, and they can be very extreme. They can be so pronounced there will be some who cannot use the Trenbolone hormone. While most men will tolerate the hormone fairly well, more men will not be able to use Trenbolone more so than most anabolic steroids.

Due to the response side effect of Parabolan, when you use the Trenbolone hormone for the first time the only one you should use is Trenbolone Acetate. If the response effects occur at a high rate, you can discontinue use and they will fade away in a few days. If you are using Parabolan, due to its large ester you will have to wait a few weeks for the adverse effects to dissipate even after discontinuation.

Parabolan Administration:

Parabolan is an anabolic steroid that carries a concentrated strength that is a bit unique. One ampule of Parabolan carries 76mg per milliliter. This gives you 50mg of active Trenbolone per ampule. In a therapeutic setting, Parabolan was commonly administered 3 times per month or one ampule every 10 days. For the purpose of performance enhancement, 3-4 ampules per week is very commonplace and should produce significant results. Higher doses can be attempted, perhaps 5-6 ampules per week and it’s not uncommon. However, many will find 3-4 per week to be all they need.

Regardless of the total dosing, 8-10 weeks of use is standard. This does not mean the total cycle of anabolic steroids is 8-10 weeks but represents the Parabolan portion of the plan. Parabolan will also stack very well with most anabolic steroids. Simply choose the steroids that fit your needs best for that particular cycle. Such plans might include Masteron and Winstrol during the cutting phase along with adequate testosterone. During the bulking phase larger amounts of testosterone will work in harmony with Trenbolone with the possible addition of Anadrol or Dianabol.

Availability of Parabolan:

The original Parabolan is no longer available and anyone reporting to sell it is selling a counterfeit product. However, there are several underground labs that now make their own Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate compound. It will often carry a name that’s similar to Parabolan or some type of Tren Hex name. The large export only company Alpha Pharma has also begun to carry the compound heavily in recent years under the name Parabolin; note the “I” in place of the last “A.”

While many of the large steroid suppliers carry a Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate product, it will not be as common as Trenbolone Acetate. It will also be a little more expensive than the Acetate version. Some will also carry Trenbolone Enanthate, and you will find it is for all intense purposes interchangeable with the Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate form.

Parabolan Reviews:

Parabolan is hands down one of the greatest anabolic steroids of all time. One of the only steroids that could possibly surpass it would be Trenbolone Acetate. While both are comprised of the Trenbolone hormone, it’s often easier to maintain peak and stable blood levels of the hormone with the Acetate version. In either case, you have a fantastic anabolic steroid. Not only is it powerful, its versatile nature simply separates it in a way that most anabolic steroids could never dream.

For quality off-season gains this steroid is hard to beat. For the hardcore individual, rotations of Parabolan and Deca Durabolin along with testosterone can be a great off-season stack. For the competitive bodybuilder, while the average man is welcome to cut without it the competitor better have this or some Trenbolone form in his bag. For the competitor, Parabolan and Trenbolone compounds are indispensable.

Trenbolone Enanthate is an extremely powerful anabolic steroid and is virtually interchangeable with Parabolan (Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate). All Trenbolone compounds carry the same, identical Trenbolone hormone. The only difference in the compounds is the ester attached, which helps to control the hormone’s releasing activity. There will not be much difference in Trenbolone Enanthate and Parabolan in this regard.

The Trenbolone hormone is commonly classified as a veterinarian grade anabolic steroid. Trenbolone Acetate, although the most popular Tren compound among performance athletes is also essential to the livestock market. However, Trenbolone Enanthate does not fall into this category, not technically. Trenbolone Enanthate is strictly an underground black market anabolic steroid. The compound first appeared in 2004 under the British Dragon label Trenabol. This makes Trenbolone Enanthate the youngest of the three common Tren forms and the only one that has never been used in what we’d consider legitimate medicine. Trenbolone Acetate was actually studied in a human therapeutic capacity, however, largely rested on vet grounds. Then we have Parabolan, which is the only human grade or pharmacy grade Trenbolone hormone ever created and it enjoyed enormous success until its discontinuation in 1997.

What can be said of all Trenbolone forms can be said of Trenbolone Enanthate on a functional basis. The traits of the Tren hormone are the same with all Tren compounds. However, unlike the Acetate version the individual should be able to inject the Enanthate version far less often, but still on a schedule similar to Parabolan. Unfortunately, the only Trenbolone Enanthate you will ever find will also only be on the underground black market through underground lab labels. Some of the larger suppliers carry it, most all carry the Acetate version but Enanthate based Tren can at times be a little harder to find.

Trenbolone Enanthate Functions & Traits:

Trenbolone Enanthate is a 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) anabolic androgenic steroid. The 19-nor label refers to a structural change of the testosterone hormone in that it lacks a carbon atom at the 19^th position. This is the same classification given to the popular Nandrolone hormone that makes up the popular anabolic steroid Deca Durabolin. In fact, Trenbolone is simply a modified form of Nandrolone, which itself is simply a structurally altered form of testosterone. When we break down various steroids, it is very slight changes that give us massive differences, but the relationships in a total sense are often far more closely related than we might realize. As for the Trenbolone hormone, it is the Nandrolone hormone with an added double bond at carbons 9 and 11. This structural change slows its metabolism, greatly increases its binding affinity to the androgen receptor and inhibits it from aromatizing. While this is truly a slight modification, it truly creates a different hormone and one that is far more powerful than Nandrolone. Trenbolone Enanthate, like all Tren carries and anabolic rating of 500 and an androgenic rating of 500. More importantly, its translating activity matches its structural ratings perfectly, meaning strong and pronounced anabolic and androgenic effects will be displayed.

Beyond the structural nature of Trenbolone, Trenbolone Enanthate carries the Enanthate (enanthoic acid) ester. The ester does not affect the Trenbolone hormone. This version will not create a more or less powerful Tren compound or change any of the traits of the hormone. It will, however, affect the hormone’s release time post injection, which will be much slower than the Acetate version. It will carry a longer half-life similar to Testosterone Enanthate. The Enanthate ester attached will also affect the compounds concentrated potency. On a milligram for milligram basis, Trenbolone Acetate is stronger than Trenbolone Enanthate due to the Enanthate ester taking up more mass in the compound. With the Acetate version, the Acetate ester is small, therefore takes up less mass in the total compound. However, total dosing can be adjusted with either form, which will enable you to receive the same amount of active Trenbolone with any form you choose. The following chart will breakdown the potency and milligram for milligram discrepancies:

Parabolan is always found in 76,5mg/ml form, whereas the Acetate version is normally found at 50-100mg/ml and the Enanthate version 100-200mg/ml.

Trenbolone Enanthate carries with it several primary anabolic steroidal traits that make it one of the most versatile and powerful anabolic steroids of all time. Many of the traits are very similar to numerous anabolic steroids. However, the Trenbolone hormone simply carries them at a rate of power far beyond and above most others. When we consider this rate of power alongside its lacking of aromatase activity, which we will go over in the side effects section, this makes it an even more valuable hormone. All in all, Trenbolone Enanthate carries seven primary functional traits that are worthy of mention and largely define the hormone’s mode of action. The traits include the following:

[1] Enhanced Protein Synthesis:

Protein is the primary building block of muscle. It is not the only important factor but it is primary. Protein synthesis refers to the rate by which cells build proteins and as synthesis is increased more is available for work and production. This increases the body’s anabolic atmosphere, and also greatly improves the overall rate of recovery, which is essential to total progress. This is not only important during periods of growth, but essential to periods of weight loss in a preservation capacity. We will find all the primary functional traits of Trenbolone Enanthate to be equally important and valuable in bulking and cutting phases.

[2] Enhanced Nitrogen Retention:

All lean muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen. As nitrogen levels fall, this can lead to a catabolic (muscle wasting) state. The more nitrogen we retain the more anabolic we remain. Again, the anabolic atmosphere is enhanced, recovery is improved and progress enjoyed.

[3] Increased Red Blood Cell Count:

Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. As red blood cell count increases, this increases blood oxygenation levels. With greater blood oxygenation, this greatly improves muscular endurance. It will also promote more efficient muscular recovery and even play a role in a direct conditioning sense of a visual nature.

[4] Increased IGF-1 Output:

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a powerful protein hormone of the peptide class that is primarily produced by the liver. The hormone plays an integral role with Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in a regulation sense and is extremely anabolic. It is also essential to recovery and our body’s ability to rejuvenate. So important, IGF-1 actually affects nearly every cell in the human body from muscle tissue, ligaments and tendons, cartilage, bone, the central nervous system and even affects our lungs to a degree.

[5] Inhibition of Glucocorticoids:

Glucocorticoid hormones are essential to our health but only in minimal levels. These are muscle wasting and fat promoting hormones and while important to our immune system can bring havoc to the body when found in abundance. Hard training, and even more so when coupled with hard dieting can greatly increase in amount, cortisol being primary and the most well know. Trenbolone Enanthate will ensure levels are kept to a minimum state, in turn ensuring the powerful anabolic atmosphere is maintained.

[6] Strong Binding Affinity to the Androgen Receptor:

Most all anabolic androgenic steroids will promote a stronger and more powerful metabolism. However, steroids that bind firmly to the androgen receptor have been linked to the promotion of direct lipolysis (fat loss). Trenbolone Enanthate can actually help you directly burn body fat. As we will later see, this is actually very beneficial during off-season periods of growth, as well as periods of cutting.

[7] Increased Feed Efficiency:

The above six functional traits of Trenbolone Enanthate are enough to make this a very powerful and beneficial anabolic steroid. However, its ability to increase or enhance feed efficiency, often referred to as nutrient efficiency is what truly makes the Trenbolone hormone the greatest anabolic steroid of all time. By supplementing with Trenbolone Enanthate, each and every nutrient we consume becomes more valuable. We are now able to make better use of every last gram of fat, protein and carbohydrates we consume. Without a hormone like Tren, the body can only utilize each nutrient to a certain degree. This will vary depending on the precise food in question, but each nutrient will never be utilized fully. With Tren, the utilization is enhanced, the same total caloric intake becomes more valuable and more progress is made. This is the very reason Trenbolone is given to livestock before slaughter. In this case, it will be Trenbolone Acetate and actually in the form of subcutaneous implant pellets known as Finaplix.

Effects of Trenbolone Enanthate:

From looking at the functional traits of Trenbolone Enanthate, it’s not too hard to see how valuable this hormone can be. Further, you should already have a good idea of the effects that can be enjoyed. However, we want to look at the effects of Trenbolone Enanthate in a more realistic way. Specifically, we want to explain what you can expect due to supplementation. We cannot pinpoint every last effect to the full possible degree. This will vary from one man to the next and can be dependent on numerous factors, but the following will give you a very good idea of what can be obtained.

The Trenbolone hormone is well known for being the greatest anabolic steroid for cutting purposes, and that’s a hard point to argue against. However, compounds like Trenbolone Enanthate are also tremendously beneficial during periods of off-season growth. This anabolic steroid has the ability to promote true lean tissue growth at a rate far above and beyond most anabolic steroids. More importantly, it will do so in a cleaner way than most steroids. Many steroids associated with off-season bulking often promote large amounts of water retention, but this is impossible with Tren. Each and every pound of weight gained due to the use of this hormone will be pure lean muscle mass. Of equal importance, the individual will find he gains less body fat during his off-season phase due to this steroid’s tremendous metabolic enhancement and fat burning properties.

When considering off-season use of Trenbolone Enanthate, there is something we must keep in mind. Use will help the individual control his body fat, but this does not mean body fat is impossible to gain. You must consume a level of calories above maintenance to truly grow. Thankfully, with Tren you will make better use of each calorie and the metabolic factors will also provide fat gain protection. However, there will still be a cutoff point. The use of Tren in the off-season is not a license to eat like there’s no end in site. You can still gain plenty of body fat if you don’t exercise self-control.

Then we have the cutting phase, and we can say with confidence there is no anabolic steroid on earth more valuable to this phase than Trenbolone. Trenbolone Enanthate, as should be obvious will help you burn fat at a more powerful and far more efficient rate. That alone is a benefit but it is far from the primary one. There is no anabolic steroid that will preserve lean mass like Tren and that is one of the two key goals during a diet. In order to lose body fat, we must burn more calories than we consume. This can put our lean tissue at risk and the body will begin to feed on it in order to meet its energy demands. It will often feed on it before body fat as part of its survival instinct, especially once our body fat levels become low. If we’re losing weight, but also losing muscle tissue this is not successful dieting. The goal is to lose body fat while maintaining as much muscle tissue as we can. Trenbolone Enanthate will provide this protection and ensure we burn only body fat and not our hard earned muscle tissue. The hormone will also promote strong conditioning effects. Hardness, increased vascularity and overall greater definition are all common with Tren. In fact, you can take any two steroids on earth and combine them and not receive the conditioning effects provided at the rate of power of Tren.

All who supplement with Trenbolone Enanthate will find their muscular endurance is greatly enhanced. Bulking or cutting this will occur, as will a dramatic improvement in recovery. This all leads to greater progress and a more efficient body in a physical functioning capacity. However, some have reported issues of decreased cardiovascular endurance when using Tren, and this will keep some athletes from using it. However, it is not a guaranteed effect by any means. Many will be able to use the hormone without any negative effect on cardiovascular endurance. It appears to be very individually based. All who use Trenbolone Enanthate, especially in the off-season should also find their strength greatly increases. Even at maintenance calorie levels strength increases should be significant. During a calorie deficit, especially when the individual becomes very lean, an increase in strength should not be expected. However, the use of Tren should ensure you maintain far more strength than you would otherwise.

Side Effects of Trenbolone Enanthate:

Trenbolone Enanthate is not what we’d call the most side effect friendly anabolic steroid of all time. There are many possible side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate use, but possible is the key word. The side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate with one exception are not guaranteed. Many of the possible side effects are very similar to many other anabolic steroids and most should find they are very easy to control. However, there are certain response side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate that will keep many from being able to use this hormone. There will be more who cannot use the Trenbolone hormone perhaps more so than any anabolic steroid. However, the majority of men should still tolerate the hormone well despite a stronger number not being able to use it compared to most steroids. In order to help you understand the possible side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate, we have broken them down into their separate categories along with all the information you’ll need.

[1] Estrogenic:

Trenbolone Enanthate is not estrogenic in that it does not aromatize. There is no testosterone to estrogen conversion with this hormone making water retention impossible due to use. However, the hormone does carry a strong progestin nature, which can make gynecomastia a concern, especially in sensitive individuals. When combined with the use of an aromatizing steroid, this appears to increase the risk. Progesterone has the ability to stimulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue, which in turn can promote gynecomastia. In order to combat this issue, some men will need an anti-estrogen.

When it comes to Tren produced gynecomastia, there has been a prevailing myth that has been passed around message boards for years. The myth simply states that it’s the possible prolactin buildup caused by Trenbolone that leads to gynecomastia, but this simply isn’t true. William Llewellyn has largely dispelled this myth showing the intrinsic relationship between estrogen and progesterone imbalances and their effects on the mammary tissue. In his Anabolics series, you will find he goes into great detail explaining this issue.

[2] Androgenic:

Trenbolone Enanthate is highly androgenic, which can lead to acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. The androgenic side effects of Trenbolone are, however, highly dependent on genetic predispositions. If you are not predisposed to male pattern baldness, losing any hair will be impossible. If you are not normally acne sensitive, the odds of any related problem during use is unlikely.

Those who are sensitive to the androgenic side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate will often attempt to combat them with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. This is very common and is also a waste of time. Such inhibitors, Finasteride being primary, are commonly used to reduce the androgenicity of a steroid that is brought on by a reduction of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is all caused by the hormone being metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, but Trenbolone is not metabolized by this enzyme. As a result, the use of any related inhibitor will have very little to no affect on the hormone’s androgenicity.

[3] Cardiovascular:

The possible cardiovascular side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate are by far the most concerning. In the present moment of use many are often far more concerned with gynecomastia, but this is merely a visual issue. Cardiovascular issues can directly and negatively affect your health. The primary area of concern will surround cholesterol. Tren can increased LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels and suppress/reduce HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels. This cholesterol strain should not be as strong as many oral steroids, but potentially more severe than most injectable steroids.

In order to control your cholesterol, living a healthy lifestyle is imperative. A healthy lifestyle should include a cholesterol friendly diet that is low in saturated fats and simple sugars and abundant in omega fatty acids. Supplementing daily with large amounts of fish oils is normally advised. The individual should also ensure he implements plenty of cardiovascular activity on a regular basis and this includes off-season periods of growth. Do not buy into the idea that cardio is damaging to your off-season gains. You do not have to implement contest style cardio programs during your off-season but a regular amount for your health is recommended. This will, however, actually help you with off-season growth. It will keep your metabolism even stronger, minimize off-season fat gain and lead to a better physique. If you already have high cholesterol or cannot maintain a healthy cholesterol level during use you should not use this anabolic steroid.

Trenbolone Enanthate can also have a negative impact on blood pressure. The odds are in most men’s favor, especially since water retention, a primary promoter of high blood pressure is impossible with this steroid. However, high blood pressure is possible and you should keep an eye on it. Most healthy adult men will be fine if they live a healthy lifestyle.

[4] Testosterone:

All anabolic steroids will suppress natural testosterone production; however, the rate of suppression varies greatly from one steroid to the next. In the case of Trenbolone Enanthate, suppression will be dramatic and will not be affected by genetics. Due to the powerful rate of suppression all men who supplement with Trenbolone are strongly encouraged to include exogenous testosterone into their plan. Those who do not include exogenous testosterone will fall into a low testosterone state. Low testosterone comes with numerous possible symptoms. Sexually related symptoms are the most common, such as erectile dysfunction and suppressed libido, but they are far from the only ones. It is actually possible to suffer from low testosterone without sexually related symptoms and while the symptoms are not directly life threatening the condition is extremely unhealthy. The form of testosterone you choose is inconsequential. All that matters is you provide your body with this essential hormone.

Once the use of all anabolic steroids comes to an end natural testosterone production will begin again on its own. However, you will be at a low testosterone level for quite sometime. This can begin to produce low testosterone symptoms, which can include a loss of muscle mass and strength. It is very easy for cortisol to become dominant during this phase. For this reason, most men are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan if they are going to be off-cycle for any decent length of time.

A PCT plan will stimulate natural testosterone production and greatly reduce the total recovery time. There is, however, no PCT plan on earth that will get you back to normal on its own, this will still take time. However, such a plan will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.

Important notes on natural testosterone recovery; natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone condition existed. It also assumes there was no severe damage done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to the improper use of anabolic steroids.

[5] Hepatotoxicity:

Trenbolone Enanthate is not what we’d traditionally consider a hepatotoxic anabolic steroid. However, there does appear to be a level of toxicity associated with extremely high doses, but such doses are extremely high and far beyond what even most hardcore bodybuilders would attempt. The average Trenbolone user should not experience any hepatic stress or damage.

[6] Response:

There are four possible side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate that are 100% based on individual response and the subject of numerous myths surrounding the hormone. The effects have become such a topic of debate on many message boards that some believe if you don’t experience them your Tren must be no good. Not only is this ridiculous but it’s a borderline insane way of thinking. Successful use of any anabolic steroid not only refers to progress made but progress made without side effects or issues of concern. However, it will be the response based side effects of Trenbolone Enanthate that will keep some men from being able to use this hormone. In some cases, lowering the dose can fix the problem, but many who suffer will find that such effects occur even at low doses. The response effects include anxiety, insomnia, night sweats and rapid heart rate. They can also be so strong that they become unbearable. If a low dose of Tren causes such effects in you the hormone is probably not for you. If such effects occur, the best course of action is to discontinue use and try again later on at a lower dose. If problems still occur, this hormone is in no way for you. That may seem unfair but it’s life. Everyone has varying reactions to various hormones, medicines and even foods.

Because of the possible response side effects of Trenbolone, Trenbolone Enanthate is not recommended for first time users. Your first go with the hormone should always be Trenbolone Acetate, which most will prefer anyway. However, if you choose the Enanthate version your first time, run into problems and discontinue use you will still have to wait every bit of three weeks or more for the effects to dissipate. If you choose the Acetate version and run into problems, you can discontinue use and see them fade in a few days.

Trenbolone Enanthate Administration:

Trenbolone Enanthate is normally best taken in two even doses per week for a single total weekly dosing. Common Trenbolone Enanthate doses will fall in the 200-400mg per week range, which would equate to two injections per week at 100-200mg per injection. This will provide notable results in most any man. Can more be used? Absolutely, if you’re a good responder more can be considered but each increase will increase the risks associated with use. Doses that get close or even slightly surpass 800mg per week are not uncommon, especially in bodybuilding circles and the benefits can be unreal but keep in mind the positive negative effects and always keep an eye on your health.

As for stacking, Trenbolone Enanthate stacks well with any and all anabolic steroids. It is not only versatile in the basis of periods of use but truly all aspects of anabolic steroid use. In the off-season, many will find a stack of Tren and testosterone to be very beneficial with the possible addition of Anadrol or Dianabol. Many may also find the use of Nandrolone in an overlapping plan with their Tren to be very beneficial, but such use is normally only advised for advanced long term cycles. During the cutting phase, Tren and testosterone can again be beneficial. Testosterone doses are often lower during this period of use but not always. It really revolves around the total plan and diet. Other welcomed additions could include Masteron, Winstrol, Anavar and Primobolan Depot.

Availability of Trenbolone Enanthate:

Trenbolone Enanthate is not as commonly available as Trenbolone Acetate. Many suppliers do not carry the Enanthate version, while almost all carry the Acetate version. Many have also begun to carry their own Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate versions but still possibly not the Enanthate version. You should not have an very difficult time finding this version if you want it but also keep in mind the original British Dragon version no longer exist as the company has been out of business for some time. There are several new labs that carry the old British Dragon name but they are not the original British Dragon. Interestingly enough Diamond Pharmaceuticals now produces Trenbolone Enanthate using the old British Dragon Trenabol name.

Along with being a bit less common than Trenbolone Acetate, Trenbolone Enanthate is normally a little more expensive than the Acetate version but generally cheaper than Parabolan like mixtures. Either way, it should be fairly affordable. However, as it’s only available through underground labs, it is imperative you research the supplier and brand in question heavily before making a purchase. There are some fantastic underground labs out there, but they are highly outnumbered by the trash.

Trenbolone Enanthate Reviews:

Trenbolone Enanthate is one of the greatest anabolic steroids of all time. In fact, there are only two anabolic steroids we would place above it, Trenbolone Acetate and Parabolan. Trenbolone Acetate is the king of Tren hormones. It is easier to maintain peaked and stable blood levels with this version, is more affordable and high in supply. Parabolan, while very similar to the Enanthate version is carried by several very reputable UGL’s around the world and often carries a name similar to Parabolan or Tren Hex. The Enanthate version, while a great steroid is also manufactured by some of the worst labs on earth making a poor purchase a greater risk.

It does not matter if you’re bulking or cutting, Trenbolone Enanthate is perfect for either phase. The ester does not affect when you need to use a particular version of a steroid; that’s merely another myth perpetuated by many message boards. If you do find a quality supplier you know you can trust and you’d like to give this steroid a try, while we cannot encourage illegal use of the hormone, such as for those living in the United States, if you are under the safety of the law you will not be disappointed in this steroid.

Dianabol represents one of the most popular and one of the most important anabolic steroids of all time. Without question, this is the most popular oral steroid to ever hit the market and one of the most popular steroids in any form. While almost always found as an oral tablet, Dianabol can be found as an injectable solution, but the tablets represent the primary route of administration. Why is this steroid so important? In many ways it gave birth to the age of modern performance enhancement. It was not the first anabolic steroid used for that purpose, that would belong to testosterone, but Dianabol would open the door to a new wave of steroid use that has grown beyond what anyone expected.

Dianabol represents one of the only anabolic steroids that was developed for the sole purpose of performance enhancement. The compound did carry listed therapeutic uses at one time, but performance was the true reason this steroid was given life. Through the 1940’s and 50’s the Soviet Union had begun to dominate the Olympic games, and the use of testosterone by many of its athletes left the rest of the world lagging far behind. During this time, U.S. Olympic team Dr. John Ziegler would learn of the U.S.S.R.’s steroid use, and quickly would aid in ensuring his athletes would match up. In 1958, with the help of Dr. Ziegler, Ciba Pharmaceuticals would release the first batches of Methandrostenolone under the trade name Dianabol. The compound was designed in an effort to maintain the anabolic properties of testosterone with less androgenicity in a fast acting, powerful method. Seemingly overnight the steroid was a massive success, giving many U.S. athletes a distinct advantage over their Soviet rivals.

After its inception, Dianabol would quickly find its way into nearly every competitive sport imaginable. In conjunction with exogenous testosterone, this would birth an age of performance unlike the world had ever seen. The steroid would also rapidly become a staple in competitive bodybuilding where it has remained a favorite to this day. However, shortly after its release the U.S. FDA would begin to put a lot of pressure on Ciba in an effort to push the company to list true medical benefits of the steroid. The FDA would approve its use for the treatment osteoporosis in post-menopausal women as well as pituitary-deficient dwarfism, but the latter was withdrawn in the early 1980’s. Again the FDA would pressure Ciba for more information, but in 1983 under mounting pressure Ciba would discontinue the Dianabol tab. A few years later, the FDA would pull all Methandrostenolone brands from the shelf. Since that time Dianabol has not been legally manufactured in the United States, but is still manufactured heavily all over the world.

Dianabol Functions & Traits:

Methandrostenolone is a testosterone derived anabolic androgenic steroid. Officially, it is a structurally altered form of the primary male androgen testosterone. Dianabol is the testosterone hormone with an added double bond at the carbon one and two position. This slight alteration reduces the hormone’s androgenic nature. It also carries an added methyl group at the 17^th carbon position that allows the hormone to survive oral ingestion, officially classifying Dianabol as a C17-alpha alkylated steroid. An important note, injectable Dianabol is also C17-alpha alkylated. The end result gives us an anabolic steroid with an androgenic rating of 40-60 with a much lower binding affinity to the androgen receptor compared to testosterone. However, it will also share a much weaker relationship for serum binding protein, which results in an extremely powerful anabolic steroid. If there’s any doubt, this is one extremely powerful anabolic steroid carrying a potent anabolic nature.

On a functional basis, Dianabol is one of the easier anabolic steroids to understand. This steroid will largely provide its anabolic benefits by enhancing protein synthesis, nitrogen retention and glycogenolysis. Protein synthesis represents the rate by which cells build proteins, the building blocks of muscle. Nitrogen retention, this is important as all muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen. The more nitrogen we retain, the more anabolic we remain. Conversely, a nitrogen deficiency results in a catabolic or muscle wasting state. Then we’re left with glycogenolysis, which refers to the relationship and conversion between glycogen and glucose. Through enhanced glycogenolysis, we are able to make better use of our total carbohydrate consumption. While in many ways these traits are quite simple, they are strong enough to make Dianabol a remarkably powerful anabolic steroid.

Another important trait of Dianabol and perhaps one of the most important of all is the relationship it shares with other anabolic steroids. Dbol as it’s often called is not what we’d label as a base steroid. This is not an anabolic steroid we build a cycle around, but rather one we add to a well-planned stack. Dianabol has the ability to create unbelievable synergy when conjoined with other anabolic steroids. For example, you could supplement with 100mg of Trenbolone, Masteron or Equipoise per day (doses and steroids are simply being used as an example, not actual recommendations) and the results you’d receive from 50mg per day of Trenbolone, Masteron or Equipoise along side 50mg of Dianabol per day would be far more dramatic. You would have an identical amount of total milligrams of anabolic steroids with or without Dianabol, but the added Dianabol would provide greater enhancement.

Effects of Dianabol:

The effects of Dianabol can be summed up as fast acting and dramatic. In fact, it is more than possible for the individual to gain as much as 20lbs of mass in only a few weeks of Dianabol use. Total dosing will play a role, as will total caloric consumption, but a 20lb gain is very realistic. This makes Dianabol a premier off-season bulking steroid, and that will be its most common purpose of use. During this phase of use, the individual should also expect his strength to increase significantly. Dbol is actually one of the best strength increasing steroids on the market and along with mass can produce this result rapidly.

The effects of Dianabol are also greatly appreciated by many athletes; however, it is not as common as it once was in athletic enhancement circles. Due to the possible rapid increases in mass, many athletes will opt for steroids like Anavar or Winstrol, but it generally depends on the purpose of use. Due to the rapid and pronounced increases in strength, which can translate into more power and speed, this can be a solid athletic enhancer. The individual should also experience a level of enhanced recovery and endurance. When it comes to the weight gain, it’s important to remember that this will largely revolve around total caloric intake. While the steroid can promote enormous amounts of mass, you have to feed the body enough calories to reach this end. We wouldn’t call this the best athletic enhancing steroid due to other options, but if strength is the only true concern it could be a decent option.

Then we’re left with the cutting cycle, and you will not find Dianabol in such plans too often. Some competitive bodybuilders will use it early on in a cutting phase in order to maintain fullness, and it will provide lean tissue protection; however, there are better options. One problem with cutting cycle use can be the level of water retention this steroid can provide, which is normally the last thing you want when cutting. Such retention can be controlled, and the ability for this steroid to maintain strength can be appreciated, but there are better options.

Side Effects of Dianabol:

There are several possible side effects of Dianabol use. This is not the most dangerous anabolic steroid of all time, but it can carry a host of potential problems. A healthy adult male can manage the side effects of Dianabol, but you must understand them and how to combat them to pull this off. In order to achieve successful supplementation, we have broken down the possible side effects of Dianabol into their related categories along with all you need to know:

Estrogenic Qualities of Dianabol

Dianabol is a relatively strong estrogenic anabolic steroid due to the moderate level of aromatase activity it carries. While its aromatase activity is only moderate, this conversion actually leads Methandrostenolone to be converted to methylestradiol rather than estradiol, which is far more powerful than estradiol. This can make side effects like gynecomastia and water retention very possible with this steroid; in fact, they can appear seemingly overnight. Heavy water retention can also promote high blood pressure, which Dianabol is notorious for causing. Such effects can be controlled, and when it comes to high blood pressure this is something you’ll need to put some effort into ensuring does not become a problem.

In order to combat the estrogenic side effects of Dianabol, anti-estrogens are commonly recommended when supplementing with this steroid. You have two choices in anti-estrogens, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) like Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and Aromatase Inhibitors (AI’s) like Femara (Letrozole). SERM’s can be enough for some men and should be your first choice if they can get the job done. However, AI’s will be far more effective as they will directly inhibit aromatization and reduce serum estrogen levels. Unfortunately, AI’s can negatively affect cholesterol, as can Dianabol, and when conjoined this can prove potentially problematic. If an AI is used cholesterol management will be a priority, and it will be possible. However, SERM’s, while not always as effective will actually promote healthier cholesterol levels due to their estrogenic like activity in the liver.

Androgenic Qualities of Dianabol

Dianabol is not an extremely androgenic steroid, its androgenicity has been structurally reduced, but androgenic side effects are still possible. Such side effects of Dianabol use include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. Most men should not have a problem with such effects, response will be the final dictator, but most will remain clear. Although the odds are in your favor, such effects are brought on by Methandrostenolone being metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This is the same enzyme responsible for the reduction of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, but the overall conversion here will result in very low amounts of dihydromethandrostenolone. This tells us 5-alpha reductase inhibitors like Finasteride that are often used to combat androgenic side effects will have very little if any affect on Dianabol.

Despite its reduced androgenicity, Dianabol can promote virilization symptoms in women. Such symptoms include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. It is possible for some women to use this steroid without virilization symptoms with extremely low doses, but the odds are not favorable. Most all women should choose anabolic steroids with less translating androgenic activity to meet their needs.

Cardiovascular Effects of Dianabol

Dianabol can have a pronounced negative effect on cholesterol. This includes HDL cholesterol suppression and increases in LDL cholesterol, and the total changes can be significant. It is possible for total cholesterol levels to remain in a healthy range, but it is also possible for this healthy total reading to be misleading if HDL is suppressed heavily. Managing cholesterol during Dianabol use will be extremely important. Repeated use of this steroid as with many anabolic steroids could potentially lead to plaque buildup in the arteries overtime. It’s also extremely important to keep in mind the very possible additional strain on cholesterol brought on by the use of an AI when supplementing with Dianabol as total estrogen reductions will have a negative effect. Again, cholesterol maintenance will be extremely important.

As discussed, Dianabol can also play a negative role on blood pressure, which can be controlled by controlling water retention in most cases. When it comes to the blood pressure and cholesterol issues, the ultimate key to success will be your lifestyle. You should not supplement with this steroid if you already suffer from high blood pressure or cholesterol. If you are healthy enough for use, you should ensure your lifestyle is conducive to their maintenance. This should include a healthy diet that is rich in omega fatty acids, plenty of cardiovascular activity and an avoidance of any activity that promotes the opposite, negative end. Proper estrogen maintenance and control will also be important as estrogen plays an important role in cholesterol management. Yes, it is more than possible to supplement with Dianabol without high blood pressure and cholesterol, but you must put in the effort.
Testosterone Suppression with Dianabol

All anabolic steroids suppress natural testosterone production. While the total rate of suppression varies from one steroid to the next, with Dianabol it is very pronounced. For this reason, most men are encouraged to include some form of exogenous testosterone with their Dianabol use. Failure to include exogenous testosterone, regardless of your genetics or rumors you have heard will lead to a low testosterone condition. Such a condition comes with a host of possible symptoms and is extremely unhealthy. Even if symptoms do not show or are moderate at best, a low level condition will remain an unhealthy one. If you include exogenous testosterone, this problem is solved as the body will have all the testosterone it needs.

Once the use of Dianabol is complete and all the exogenous steroidal hormones have cleared your system, natural testosterone recovery will begin again. Natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone condition. It also assumes no damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper anabolic steroid use. While natural recovery will begin on its own, it will be slow. For this reason, most are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan after anabolic steroid use. Such a plan will commonly include the SERM’s Nolvadex and Clomid, and often additional HCG. This will greatly speed up the recovery process, as well as its overall efficiency. It will not return your natural testosterone levels to normal on its own, if this is something you’ve been told it is a myth. However, it will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise. Total recovery will still take several months, but this will cut the total time down dramatically and ensure a smooth recovery.

Hepatotoxicity of Dianabol

Dianabol is a C17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroid, and as a result, carries a hepatotoxic nature. The rate of hepatotoxicity can vary greatly from one C17-aa steroid to the next, and while Dbol is far from the most toxic, we can’t call it mild either. However, its total toxicity should not lead to liver damage if responsible use is followed and the liver was healthy to begin with. During use, liver enzyme values will increase, but it’s important to remember increases in values does not equate to damage but rather stress and potential damage. In order to avoid damage, use should be limited to 6 weeks of total use. There should also be at least 6 weeks of no C17-aa use before beginning a new course. However, most will not begin a new course until their next cycle.

In order to provide protection, beyond duration of use recommendations there are several points of consideration. When using a C17-aa steroid like Dianabol, it is extremely important that you avoid excess alcohol consumption, as excess will promote tremendous liver stress. In fact, avoiding all alcohol isn’t a bad idea. If that’s not appealing, keep in mind alcohol is perhaps the most anti-performance substance we can put in our body, and your total purpose of Dianabol use is performance enhancement.

Beyond alcohol, you should also avoid all over the counter (OTC) medications when possible. Many OTC medications carry strong hepatic natures, and in some cases, far more pronounced than many anabolic steroids. Use should be limited to when only absolutely necessary. Once all C17-aa steroid use has come to an end, liver detoxifiers supplements are also recommended.

Dianabol Administration:

Standard Dianabol doses will vary tremendously depending on experience and individual desires. Despite internet rumor and myth, a quality Dbol tablet will produce notable results with as little as 15mg per day. However, most will be far more satisfied with a 20-25mg per day dosing. Keep in mind, each time we increase the dose, this increases the probability of negative side effects and makes them more difficult to control. If a positive experience is enjoyed in the 20-25mg range, 30-35mg per day can be attempted if desired. 50mg per day would be the next step up, and that’s a big Dianabol dose, but manageable for the experienced anabolic steroid user. However, many will not need such a dose. Higher doses are not uncommon in some hardcore circles, you can easily find someone taking up to 100mg per day, but such doses cannot be recommended. Doses of this nature will produce side effects and be hard on your health. Even if you can control the visual side effects with such a dose, the internal effects can be a very different story.

Dianabol carries a half-life of 3-5 hours, and many often recommend splitting the daily dose into 2-3 small doses per day in an effort to maintain peak blood levels. However, even with 3 equal doses per day, you will still experience highs and lows in blood levels. Further, the maximum peak blood level will be much lower than it could have been if the total dosing was taken all at once. By taking the total daily dose at once, this will give you a higher peak level that you can time around your training and maximize during the crucial timing window that follows training. Regardless of which method you choose, you will find Dianabol to produce great results.

The final note on Dianabol administration is when to take it during a cycle. The most common point of use is as a kick-start to a new off-season mass gaining cycle. This will give the individual fast and notable gains early on while the slower injectable steroids are building in their system. This type of use will also result in the most dramatic gains in weight. Another option of use is mid-cycle during a period often referred to as plateau busting. During any cycle you will hit a wall and the gains will slow or come to a screeching halt. Introducing Dianabol during this phase will see you break through the plateau or sticking point, and your progress will continue. Due to the hepatotoxicity of Dbol, and due to the fact that most cycles will fall in the 8-12 week range, most will only use Dianabol for one of those purposes during a single cycle. However, in hardcore bodybuilding cycles that often extend well past the 12 week mark, it would be possible to implement both phases of use with necessary C17-aa breaks. Regardless of the type of use, dose or timing schedule you use, you will find Dianabol stacks well with all anabolic steroids. But it should not be used with another C17-aa anabolic steroid.

Availability of Dianabol:

Dianabol is one of the most widely available anabolic steroids on earth. You will not find a steroid supplier that doesn’t carry this product. This includes all online steroids suppliers, and should include any local gym dealer. As an added bonus, this is one of the most affordable steroids on earth. Demand is high, but so is the supply and competition, and this keeps the price down. In fact, you can easily buy 1,000 5mg British Dispensary Anabol tablets, one of the most common and notable brands on earth for as little as $100. Other popular brands include Russian Dbol METAHAPOCTEHOROH by Akrikhin (Akpnxnh), Naposim by Terapia and Anahexia by Jinan Pharmaceuticals. You will also find numerous underground labs carry high dose Dianabol capsules. Most Dbol tablets will normally be found in 5mg and 10mg strength, but capsules are common in 25-50mg strength. Unfortunately, while there are some good capsules, many of them are garbage. Sticking with tablets is normally the best way to go, and they shouldn’t cost that much.

A final note on the availability of Dianabol, while there is an abundant amount of high quality Dbol, counterfeits do exist. Researching your supplier is imperative before making a purchase. This research should also include digging up all information on the Dbol brand of your choice before making a purchase.

Dianabol Reviews:

Dianabol is simply a fantastic steroid, there’s really no other way to put it. It’s a very simple anabolic steroid, very basic, but like so many things in life sometimes basic can be tremendous. If you’re looking for rapid gains in size that give you a full look, this is the steroid for you. If you’re stuck in a rut and your progress has hit a wall, again this is the steroid for you. There are steroids that can produce similar fast acting results. The anabolic steroid Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is most commonly compared to Dianabol in this regard; however, its potential for negative side effects is greater than Dianabol. Many argue that Anadrol is stronger, but many often use doses of Anadrol much higher than Dbol. Some data has suggested that on a milligram for milligram basis, Dianabol is actually the stronger steroid.

Regardless of its total level of power, which all will agree is high, Dianabol’s place in the history of anabolic steroids is an important one. Athletes have always strived to be the best, and enhancing performance has always been a pursuit. Injecting testicular extract to eating raw animal testicles themselves have all been a part of sports; the latter since sports existed. However, it would be Dianabol that would bring forth the modern age of performance enhancement and the realization of what anabolic steroid use could do in a performance capacity. Oddly enough, for decades those that have supported steroid bans have touted there’s no proof Dianabol actually enhances performance. In fact, there have been official write-ups making this claim. Anyone who has used the steroid knows how ridiculous this is, and if it weren’t it wouldn’t be one of the most sought after anabolic steroids in the world for more than 50 years.

Sustanon 250 is a popular testosterone blend (mixture) and is without question the most popular and well known blend ever made. Manufactured by Organon, the idea behind Sustanon 250 was to provide the best of small (short) and large (long) ester testosterones in a single compound. This would allow the individual to maintain stable blood levels of the testosterone hormone with an infrequent injection schedule while simultaneously receiving fast acting benefits.

The limited injection frequency makes Sustanon 250 a perfect compound for the treatment of low testosterone. It allows the individual to maintain stable levels without the need for constantly pinning themselves with a needle, but this is truly the only advantage of this testosterone. Sustanon 250 will not provide any advantage over a single ester testosterone compound to a performance athlete. In a performance capacity we will find the individual will still be required to inject the hormone frequently if he is to maintain not only stable blood levels but peaked blood levels. Many often inaccurately assume Sustanon 250 is superior over single ester testosterone forms due to the fact that it carries four distinct testosterones in a single injection. As for the basic functioning traits of testosterone, they will be the same with Sustanon 250 as they are with all testosterone forms. They will be no more or less powerful or effective.

Sustanon 250 Functions & Traits:

Sustanon 250 is a testosterone hormone. Although synthetic it is a perfect replica of the naturally produced primary male androgen testosterone. By the esters that are attached, this is what defines Sustanon 250 and differentiates it from other testosterone compounds. The compound carries a mixture of small and large esters in a precise dose. It is the precise dose of each of the four testosterone esters that make it. You could take four other testosterones and combine them in the same dosing strength but this would not make it Sustanon 250. This is important because there are underground labs that try to pass off other mixtures as Sustanon 250. The precise makeup of Organon’s product is as follows:

• 30mg Testosterone Propionate
• 60mg Testosterone Phenylpropionate
• 60mg Testosterone Isocaproate
• 100mg Testosterone Decanoate

This total mixture gives us 250mg of testosterone per milliliter. Sustanon 250 will also be found in single dose ampules, not vials and each ampule will contain this 250mg concentration. One thing you may have noticed is that the composition of Sustanon 250 is very similar to Omnadren, a testosterone blend manufactured by Jelfa. The original Omnadren mixture was identical to Sustanon 250 with one exception. Omnadren originally carried 100mg of Testosterone Caproate instead of Testosterone Decanoate. However, modern Omnadren now carries the Decanoate ester making it identical to Sustanon 250.

As a testosterone hormone, Sustanon 250 is perfect for treating low testosterone. Testosterone is an essential hormone for men and women; however, men require approximately ten times that of women. The hormone is responsible for sexual development and maturation but it is also responsible for the upkeep, maintenance and function of several key areas of our lives. This is a hormone that plays a role on our physical, mental and sexual well-being, and when levels fall to low we can suffer in numerous ways in all of those areas. The symptoms and effects of low testosterone are not in any way what we’d call life threatening; however, they can tremendously suppress your overall quality of life. The condition is also extremely unhealthy and if left ignored can lead to or help promote conditions that are indeed life threatening. If you suffer from any of the following symptoms there’s a good chance you suffer from low testosterone and Sustanon 250 can easily remedy the problem:

• Loss of Libido (can refer to partial or total loss)
• Erectile Dysfunction (inability to maintain or obtain and erection)
• Loss of Muscle Mass (despite diet & exercise)
• Loss of Strength (despite diet & exercise)
• Increased Body Fat (despite diet & exercise)
• Loss of Mental Clarity
• Decreased Ability to Focus
• Lethargy
• Insomnia
• Irritability
• Decreased Energy
• Depression
• Weakened Immune System

By administering Sustanon 250 such symptoms will not only fade away they will fade away rapidly and bring about notable improvements in those areas of your life. Of course, this is assuming the symptoms are low testosterone related. More importantly, when we treat low testosterone we protect ourselves from the gateway issues that can arise when the problem is ignored. Studies have shown that prolonged low testosterone levels may contribute to the following conditions:

• Alzheimer’s Disease
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Infertility
• Polyuria
• Anxiety
• Heart Disease

Interestingly enough, while the use of exogenous testosterone may lead to moderate cholesterol issues, prolonged low testosterone has been linked to high cholesterol. If you suffer from low testosterone there really is no reason you should suffer when treatment is not only available but easily so with compounds like Sustanon 250.

Then we have performance enhancement, and it will be other functions and traits of the testosterone hormone that are of interest here. The performance athlete will notice improvements in every area of his life that the low testosterone patient benefited from. However, in this case he will be taking his testosterone levels to a much higher level. This high level will bring about enormous enhancements in five key areas that are associated with physical progress. And from these five traits, we will find we have a hormone that is one of the most versatile hormones at our disposal and perfect for nearly all male performance related goals. The specific traits of Sustanon 250 in this category include:

Enhanced Protein Synthesis: Protein synthesis refers to the rate by-which cells build proteins, the primary building block of muscle tissue. Protein synthesis is enhanced and in return so is this basic function in anabolism.

Enhanced Nitrogen Retention: All lean muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen. When nitrogen levels fall this puts us at great risk in falling into a catabolic state. The more nitrogen we retain the greater our anabolic atmosphere will remain. As was with protein synthesis, this trait will prove very useful in bulking and cutting cycles as will all the basic high testosterone level promoted traits.

Increased Red Blood Cell Count: Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. As blood oxygenation levels increase this increases the ability of the muscle to perform. This trait will play an imperative role in endurance and recovery.

Increased IGF-1 Output: Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a highly potent and powerful naturally produced peptide hormone with tremendous anabolic power. While highly anabolic it also plays an extremely important role on our body’s recovery process. This is a hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body and with more available there is more to do what IGF-1 does best.

Inhibition of Glucocorticoid Hormones: Glucocorticoid hormones or stress hormones are in many ways the very opposite of anabolic steroids. These hormones destroy muscle tissue and promote fat storage; cortisol is the most well-known glucocorticoid. By using a compound like Sustanon 250 and achieving high testosterone levels, we ensure glucocorticoids while necessary to a degree to our health do not become dominant in the body.

The basic functions and traits of Sustanon 250 are fairly straightforward. There’s nothing magical about this hormone, nothing out of the ordinary but it is still a remarkable product. The testosterone hormone, while very simple to understand is dramatically powerful, beneficial and perhaps the most important hormone of all.

Effects of Sustanon 250:

By now we should have a good understanding of the effects of Sustanon 250 simply by understanding its functions and traits. If you suffer from low testosterone and supplement with Sustanon 250 you will suffer no more; problem solved. Then we have performance enhancement, and we want to break down the effects of Sustanon 250 in a way that gives them a real life understanding.

During an off-season bulking cycle this is one of the best times to use Sustanon 250. High testosterone levels create the perfect atmosphere for muscle growth. Granted, the calories have to be there. If you’re not eating enough all the testosterone in the world wont’ help you grow. However, the combination of a well-planned diet and high testosterone levels will see tremendous advancements in lean tissue growth. Of equal importance, high testosterone levels will enhance your metabolic rate. Those who have higher testosterone levels will gain less body fat during their off-season than those who do not have higher testosterone levels. Make no mistake, you can still gain a lot of unwanted body fat if you’re not careful with your off-season nutrition, but high testosterone levels will give you the ability to make better use of this period in training.

While many understand high testosterone levels are beneficial when growing, many fail to understand how beneficial they can be when cutting. A cutting cycle is a perfect time to supplement with Sustanon 250. Due to its tremendously powerful anabolic nature this hormone will protect lean muscle tissue better than just about anything else. When we diet we must burn more calories than we consume and this puts our lean muscle tissue at risk. The body will take what it needs to meet its energy demands from wherever it can get it, and this is often out muscle tissue. The idea is to force the body to burn fat, not muscle and a well-planned diet can help but it can only go so far. At some point the body will go into survival mode and protect the stored body fat and tap into muscle stores for its energy needs unless there is an anabolic protectant such as what high testosterone levels can provide.

Protecting lean tissue is the primary benefit of high testosterone levels when cutting, but it’s not the only one. The use of Sustanon 250 will enable the individual to burn body fat at a more efficient rate due to the metabolic enhancement high levels will provide. It is, however, important to note that many will need to use less Sustanon 250 during their cutting phase compared to off-season phase due to estrogen sensitivity. This will make more sense once we dive into the side effects section. However, some often make the mistake of taking their testosterone levels too low during the cutting phase. Remember, it took high testosterone levels to build the mass you have and it will take similarly high levels to maintain it. You can cut the total dosing down during the cutting phase but you need to be smart about it and consider the inclusion of other anabolic steroids.

The effects of Sustanon 250 do not end with what we’ve discussed so far. High testosterone levels will greatly enhance muscular endurance. You will not tire out as fast when your testosterone levels are high. The use of Sustanon 250 will also dramatically improve your overall rate of recovery and this is invaluable. Recovery is where progress is made. Progress isn’t actually made in the gym when we train. When we train we are actually tearing down muscle tissue. It is the repair process that brings about progress. High testosterone levels will see this progress enhanced and undertaken in a more efficient and thorough manner. This makes high testosterone levels very beneficial to athletes as recovery and endurance are key components to athletic performance. As a bonus, Sustanon 250 will increase the individual’s strength, again a key component to athletic success.

Side Effects of Sustanon 250:

For the healthy adult male, healthy excluding low testosterone, Sustanon 250 is an extremely well-tolerated anabolic steroid. There are possible side effects of Sustanon 250 use, but they are also largely controllable with proper use. We will find that certain side effects of Sustanon 250 are highly dependent on genetic predispositions, but overall safe supplementation is more than possible.

For the low testosterone patient, he will have the easiest time combating the side effects of Sustanon 250. In this case, while side effects are possible he is merely replacing the testosterone he’s lacking. Then we have the performance athlete and he will be taking his testosterone levels far above and beyond what could ever be naturally produced. Most men can tolerate high testosterone levels very well but there is generally a cutoff point. However, this cutoff point can vary greatly from one man to the next. Further, this individual will need to exercise more caution than the low testosterone patient and often take steps that a therapeutic setting may not require. In order to help you understand the possible side effects of Sustanon 250 we have broken them down into their separate categories along with all the information you’ll need.

[1] Estrogenic:

The side effects of Sustanon 250 will most commonly include those of an estrogenic nature. The testosterone hormone is highly susceptible to the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. As estrogen levels rise, this can lead to and promote three common side effects associated with anabolic steroid use. The primary estrogenic side effects of Sustanon 250 include gynecomastia and excess water retention. If excess water retention becomes severe this can have a profound negative effect on blood pressure. Severe water retention is the leading cause of high blood pressure with anabolic steroid use. It is also very controllable.

In order to combat the estrogenic side effects of Sustanon 250 an anti-estrogen medication is often recommended. You have two choices in anti-estrogen medications, Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM’s) or Aromatase Inhibitors (AI’s). AI’s will be the most effective as they will directly inhibit the aromatase process and reduce total serum estrogen levels. SERM’s will not inhibit aromatization or lower estrogen levels, but they will bind to the receptors thereby preventing estrogenic action. SERM’s can be very useful in combating gynecomastia, but they are often not enough to prevent water retention in some men. Unfortunately, AI’s can also have a negative effect on cholesterol that appears to be greatly exasperated when combined with the use of exogenous testosterone. SERM’s will have no negative effect on cholesterol. In fact, they may promote healthy cholesterol levels due to their estrogen like activity in the liver. If you can get the job done with a SERM it should always be your first choice.

An important note on water retention, and this is very important regarding off-season use of Sustanon 250. An overabundance in calories, especially carbohydrates will promote water retention. Excess calories are needed for growth but often not near the levels most assume. A moderate increase above maintenance caloric consumption is often all that’s needed. However, many will eat so much that they will inevitably hold a lot of water and this water retention may become worse with the inclusion of exogenous testosterone. Control your caloric intake, especially your carbohydrate intake and you’ll have a much easier time controlling water retention.

[2] Androgenic:

Sustanon 250 is a highly androgenic hormone and can produce related effects. The androgenic side effects of Sustanon 250 include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. These side effects of Sustanon 250 are highly dependent on genetic predispositions. Sensitivity to androgenicity plays a role but is dependent on the testosterone hormone’s interaction with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for reducing testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and as DHT activity increases it can lead to the related effects. In order to combat the androgenic side effects of Sustanon 250 some may find the use of a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor such as Finasteride to be warranted. Not all men will need a related inhibitor but some will find it helps. However, it is important to note that a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor will not completely reduce the steroid’s androgenicity. Those who are extremely sensitive to androgenic effects may find this steroid is not for them or should at least be used in minimal amounts.

[3] Cardiovascular:

The use of testosterone can have a negative impact on cholesterol, particularly HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). However, it does not appear to be very significant in most cases. Low HDL suppression is possible but it’s often inconsequential. However, when combined with the use of an AI it appears to be exasperated. According to the data at hand, the use of testosterone at a dosing of 250-600mg per week with an AI will promote an approximate 20% reduction in HDL cholesterol levels. The total reduction as you can see remains statistically the same in that dosing range. Once again, for this reason SERM’s should be your first choice in place of AI’s in order to combat estrogenic activity. But, SERM’s won’t always be enough and there is hope. If an AI is needed with your Sustanon 250 you should ensure you put in a lot of effort into controlling your cholesterol levels. This means a cholesterol friendly diet rich in omega fatty acids, low in saturated fats and low in simple sugars. It also means incorporating plenty of cardiovascular activity into your routine.

[4] Testosterone:

Regardless of who you are or why you’re using Sustanon 250 the inclusion of this anabolic steroid will suppress your natural testosterone production. For the low testosterone patient this is of no concern. Such an individual is not producing enough testosterone to begin with. For the performance athlete, while using Sustanon 250, again this is of no concern. Sustanon 250 will provide all the testosterone the body needs. However, the concern arises for this individual once his cycle and use comes to an end. When use comes to an end natural testosterone production will begin again. However, it will take a long time for your levels to return to normal. This can lead to a temporary low testosterone state and the associated symptoms. It can also lead to cortisol becoming the dominant hormone in your body making the progress made on cycle very difficult to impossible to maintain.

Due to the testosterone suppression caused by Sustanon 250, once use is discontinued most all men are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan. A solid PCT plan will include SERM’s like Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) and Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) and the peptide hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). This will greatly speed up the recovery process. A PCT plan will not return you to normal on it’s own. There is no PCT plan on earth that can do this. However, a PCT plan will ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your natural testosterone levels continue to rise.

Important notes on natural testosterone recovery. Natural recovery assumes no prior low testosterone condition existed. It also assumes severe damage was not done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA).

[5] Hepatotoxicity:

Sustanon 250 is not hepatotoxic and will present no stress or damage to the liver.

Sustanon 250 Administration:

In a therapeutic setting to treat low testosterone, Sustanon 250 doses will normally fall in the 250mg every 3-4 week range with one injection every 3 weeks being most common. The total duration of treatment is indefinite. Low testosterone normally needs to be treated for life. We can remedy the problem but it will in most cases require continual treatment.

In a performance capacity, Sustanon 250 doses commonly range from 250-1,000mg per week. 250mg per week is enough to combat testosterone suppression caused by the use of other anabolic steroids. For a true anabolic effect, most will find 500mg per week to be effective. 500mg per week will be very tolerable for most men and often all the Sustanon 250 they’ll need. Many men will be able to tolerate 750-1,000mg per week. Higher testosterone levels should produce greater results; however, they will also increase the probability of negative side effects. How great this increase in probability is will be dependent on the individual and can greatly vary from one man to the next. Doses above 1,000mg per week will greatly exasperate potential negative side effects.

As for stacking, Sustanon 250 will stack well with all anabolic steroids. During off-season cycles, Deca Durabolin or any Nandrolone compound is often beneficial along with possible additions of Anadrol or Dianabol. During the cutting phase, steroids like Anavar, Masteron, Primobolan, Trenbolone and Winstrol will prove useful. You will also find the Trenbolone hormone to be very valuable during off-season use.

An important note; some will find Sustanon 250 painful to inject. Sustanon 250 contains the Propionate ester and a small segment of the population will find this ester irritates the injected area. This will prohibit some from using the steroid.

Availability of Sustanon 250:

Sustanon 250 is one of the most expensive testosterone compounds on the market. However, it is in high supply and is one of the easiest anabolic steroids to buy. Organon manufactures the compound in numerous countries. The most common include Karachi’s (Pakistan), Nile’s (Egypt), Redi-Jects (Mexico) and the original Sustanon 250 products from Brazil, Italy, England, Belgium, and Portugal.

There are numerous other labs and pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the Sustanon 250 mixture. One of the most common is Russian Infar and Induject-250 by Alpha Pharma. Countless underground labs also manufacture the mixture in generic form. However, there is always a risk of an inferior product when purchasing an underground label. As for the Organon brands, counterfeits are also a risk, especially when it’s from Brazil, Pakistan and Egypt. You will need to exercise caution and do some hard digging on your supplier before you make a purchase. Also familiarize yourself with the Organon labels thoroughly as the country of origin will determine exactly how the product is supposed to look.

An important note; Sustanon 250 is not legally available in the U.S. The U.S. FDA has never approved it and Organon has never sought out approval. There are many Organon products that have been U.S. FDA approved, but in recent years they have continually withdrawn more of their products from this market due to the strict legislation on anabolic steroids in the U.S.

Sustanon 250 Reviews:

Sustanon 250 is a fantastic anabolic steroid. It is highly versatile, well-tolerated by most all men and perfect for most any cycle. It is not superior to other testosterone forms and this is something we cannot stress enough. The combination of four testosterone forms is an excellent marketing ploy that’s been used to entice many performance athletes, but it’s no better or worse than traditional testosterone compounds. You can use Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Propionate and receive the same, identical benefits and effects as you would with Sustanon 250.

While Sustanon 250 is the same on a functional basis as all testosterone forms, there is a time to choose it over other forms. If your supplier carries Organon Sustanon 250, a human grade anabolic steroid but only carries other testosterone forms from generic underground labels, always go with Sustanon 250.
