• HGH secretion reaches

its peak in the body during adolescence. This makes sense because HGH helps stimulate our body to grow.

Nitrates are also found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"). If you are not sure if any of your medications contain nitrates, or if you do not understand what nitrates are, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Boldenone is very common in the precontest arena for two main reasons. First off, there is a low amount of aromitization and secondly there is very little water retention while taking Boldenone (Equipoise). This makes Boldenone (Equipoise) a good

precontest steroid. Boldenone is well known to give a good increase in the pumps you get while working out. This is caused from the increase in red blood cells that you will experience while taking Boldenone. It is also well known to help cause a dramatic increase in appetite. When taken with a good mass building steroid like Dianabol, this is a sure formula for successful gains in muscle mass.

Athletes who are more advanced or weigh more than 220 pounds can increase the dosage to 150 mg/day in the third week. This dosage, however, should not be taken for periods longer than two to three weeks.

If a

hereditary predisposition exists Dianabol can also accelerate a possible hair loss which again can be explained by the high conversion of the substance into dihydrotestosterone. Another disadvantage is that, after discontinuance of the compound, a considerable loss of strength and mass often occurs since the water stored during the intake is again excreted by the body. In high dosages of 50+ mg/day aggressive behavior in the user c occasionally be observed which, if it only refers to his workout, can be an advantage. In order to avoid uncontrolled actions, those who have a tendency to easily lose, their temper
should be aware of this characteristic when taking a high D-bol dosage. Despite all of these possible symptoms Dianabol instills in most athletes a "sense of well-being anabolic" which improves the mood and appetite and in many users, together with the obtained results, leads to an improved level of consciousness and a higher self-confidence.

Anadrol (Oxydrol) is the U.S. brand name for oxymetholone, a very potent oral androgen. This compound was first made available in 1960, by the international drug firm Syntex. Since oxymetholone is quite reliable in its ability to increase red blood cell production (and

effect characteristic of most anabolic/androgenic steroids), it showed great promise in treating cases of severe anemia. It turned out to be well suited for this purpose, and was popular for quite some time. But recent years have brought fourth a number of new treatments, most notably the non-steroidal hormone Epogen (erythropoietin). This drug is shown to have a much more direct effect on the red blood cell count, without the side effects of a strong androgen. Syntex stopped in the U.S. in 1993, which was around the same time they decided to drop this item in a number of foreign countries as well. Plenastril from Switzerland

and Austria was dropped; following soon was Oxitosona from Spain. Many Athletes feared Anadrol 50 might be on the way out for good. But new HIV/AIDS studies have shown a new light on oxymetholone. These studies are finding (big surprise) exceptional anti-wasting properties to the compound and believe it can be used safely in many such cases. Interest has been peaked, and as of 1998 Anadrol 50 is again being sold in the United States. This time we see the same Anadrol 50 brand name, but the manufacturer is the drug firm Unimed. Syntex continues to market & license this drug in a number of countries however
(under a few different brand names).

Clomid also has the property of reducing the adverse effect of exercise-induced damage of muscle tissue. This is very significant for endurance athletes but is not very significant, if at all significant, with reasonable weight training. Clomid does not perceptibly affect gains of the weight trainer either favorably or adversely in my experience.

Dosing Schedule

of clenbuterol is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before using clenbuterol.

For athletes a disadvantage of tamoxifen is that it can weaken the anabolic effect of some steroids. The reason is that Nolvadex reduces the estrogen level. The fact is, however, that certain steroids, especially the various testosterone compounds, can only achieve their full effect if the estrogen level is sufficiently high. Athletes who predominantly use mild steroids such as Primobolan, Winstrol, Oxandrolone, and Deca-Durabolin should carefully consider whether or not they should take

Nolvadex since, due to the compound's already moderate anabolic effect, an additional loss of effect could take place, leading to unsatisfying results.

• It reduces body fat ( 72%)

Oxandrolone has often been used as a growth-promoting agent in the therapy of boys with growth delays in adolescence. Oxandrolone is also used in treating girls affected with Turner's syndrome, another growth-delay ailment. In obese individuals, oral oxandrolone has been shown to decrease subcutaneous abdominal fat more than Testosterone enanthate or weight loss alone, and it also tended to produce favorable changes in

visceral fat.

Testosterone has a profound ability to protect your hard earned muscle from the catabolic (muscle wasting) glucocorticoid hormones (11), and increase red blood cell production (12), and as you may know, a higher RBC count may improve endurance via better oxygenated blood. The former trait increases nitrogen retention and muscle building while the latter can improve recovery from strenuous physical activity, as well as increase endurance and tolerance to strenuous exercise.

Testosterone cypionate is a long acting ester of testosterone which is increasingly difficult to find. Before the

scheduling of anabolics in the U.S., this was the most common form of testosterone available to athletes. Cyp had gained a reputation as being slightly stronger than Enanthate and became the testosterone of choice for many.

Acne: Common

Additive intake of Nolvadex and Proviron may be necessary as well, since dianabol strongly converts into estrogens.

Trenbolone is also a highly androgenic hormone, when compared with testosterone, which has an androgenic ratio of 100; trenbolone´s androgenic ratio is an astonishing 500. Highly androgenic steroids are appreciated for the effects they have

on strength as well as changing the estrogen/androgen ratio, thus reducing water and under the skin. As if the report on trenbolone was not good enough, it gets better; Trenbolone is extraordinarily good as a fat loss agent. One reason for this is its powerful effect on nutrient partitioning. It is a little known fact is that androgen receptors are found in fat cells as well as muscle cells, androgens act directly on the A.R in fat cells to affect fat burning. The stronger the androgen binds to the A.R, the higher the lipolytic (fat burning) effect on adipose tissue (fat). Since some steroids even increase the numbers

of A.R in muscle and fat this fat loss effect would be amplified with the concurrent use of other compounds, such as testosterone.

What is of note with propionate, is that users have successfully incorporated it into cutting cycles as well. Especially people who tend to lose a lot of mass normally during extreme diet phases find this useful. By injecting every two or three days and using only 50-75 mg each time, no notable water builds up (or at least none that can't be fixed with proviron, arimidex or winstrol) and no fat is deposited, allowing a user to stay relatively lean. So this type of testosterone can

be used to keep gaining or retaining mass until 2-3 weeks out of contest time with relatively little difficulty. Its best use is in bulking phases to pack on mass.

Drug Class: Highly Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid.

Proscar dosage

The most common complaint with Trenbolone is that it can reduce aerobic capacity possibly due to bronchial dilation from increased prostaglandin formation. However at least in most users, since the blood levels of Trenbolone Enanthate won¡¯t spike as rapidly or peak to as high of a level as quickly as we see with the Acetate version- this effect is not as pronounced

with the Enanthate version. Thus the infamous ¡°Tren Cough¡± many users complain about with the Acetate version isn¡¯t as common with the Enanthate ester.

Important advice for females

Andropen contains 20mgs of Testosterone Acetate, 75mgs of Testosterone Cypionate, 90mgs of Testosterone

Decanoate, and 40mgs each of Testosterone Propionate and Phenylpropionate in a 20ml bottle. I am very impressed with the fact that this product appears to be designed specifically for bodybuilders and athletes, and certainly if I wanted to create a long, medium, and short estered testosterone product, it would be something like this one. Also, due to that fact, I think I´d recommend shooting it EOD, or E3D or so& .giving you a very decent and relatively stable level of hormone in your body. A few years back, I made a testosterone blend for my own use out of powders, which was essentially a five estered testosterone

(the same esters as Sust + 100mgs of test with the Cypionate ester per milliliter). Anyway, now it seems that every Underground Lab is involved with this type of thing. It´s not uncommon to see a price list with several "custom blends" or "house blends" of various estered testosterone´s (or sometimes Trenbolones, or whatever).

American athletes have a long a fond relationship with Testosterone cypionate. While testosterone enanthate is manufactured widely throughout the world, cypionate seems to be almost exclusively an American item. It is therefore not surprising that American athletes

particularly favor this testosterone ester. But many claim this is not just a matter of simple pride, often swearing cypionate to be a superior product, providing a bit more of a "kick" than enanthate. At the same time it is said that Testosterone cypionate produces a slightly higher level of water retention, but not enough for it to be easily discerned. Of course when we look at the situation objectively, we see these two steroids are really interchangeable, and cypionate is not at all superior. Both are long acting oil-based injectables, which will keep tesosterone levels sufficiently elevated for approximately two

weeks. Enanthate may be slightly better in terms of testosterone release, as this ester is one carbon atom lighter than cypionate (remember the ester is calculated in the steroids total milligram weight). The difference is so insignificant however that no one can rightly claim it to be noticeable (we are maybe talking a few milligrams per shot).

Average Dose: Men 75 mg every day or two days

Possible side effects of clenbuterol include restlessness, palpitations, tremor, headache, increased perspiration, insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure and nausea. Note that these side effects

are of a temporary nature and usually subside after 8-10 days, despite continuation of the intake of clenbuterol.

Carcinogenesis - Phenols in general are reputed to be carcinogenic. Although 2,4-dinitrophenol has never been implicated in a cancer diagnosis, some are nonetheless concerned, and understandably so. In addition to the inherent carcinogenic potential caused by its status as a phenol, production of free radicals and the release of various compounds stored in adipose tissue stores during DNP's rapid oxidation of fat may also potentially be harmful.

Apnea, hypotension, and cardiac arrest have been

reported following parenteral administration of benzodiazepines to the elderly, severely ill patients, or patients with compromised respiratory function. Respiratory depression also has occurred in these patients during benzodiazepine therapy, occasionally resulting in death.

If it were around in the United States, it's popularity would be comparable to oral Dianabol. Effective dosages seem to be in the area of 200 mg a day taken in divided dosages. Andriol is a safe oral steroid that does not suppress gonadotrophins.It is absorbed through the small intestine into the lymphatic system, no burden to the liver

it is a natural ester added to a synthetic derivative which will nor change liver enzymes. No testicular shrinkage, no reduction on in spermatogenesis will occur with reasonable dosages. Cholesterol triglycerides and total lipids tend to be reduced with long term use of Andriol as opposed to elevated with most oral steroids.

Proviron information

Testosterone heptylate is another injectable testosterone ester. The French pharmaceutical Company Laboratoire Theramex is the only firm worldwide which manufactures this compound and has been selling it under the drug name Testosterone Heptylate Theramex since 1955.

Testosterone Heptylate Theramex rates high among French, Belgian, and Dutch athletes since it is readily available, extremely economical, and very effective - The compound Testosterone heptylate, like every injectable testosterone, has a strong androgenic effect which goes hand in hand with a distinct anabolic component.

Popular steroids stacked with Masteron(Masteron 100) (drostanolone propionate) include Parabolan (trenbolone hexahydrobencylcarbonate), Winstrol (stanozolol), and Anavar (oxandrolone). Athletes rarely experience any side effects. It is not hepatoxic, and gynecomastia should not be a concern

since it does not convert into estrogen. Some possible side effects of Masteron(Masteron 100) include acne, accelerated hair loss, and increased aggression. The main disadvantage is a very poor availability on the black market and its high price.

As with almost every effective steroid, Drive can produce a noticeable set of side effects. While the boldenone only mildly androgenic, methandriol shows slightly more pronounced activity. Androgenic side effects like oily skin acne and increased aggression are all possible with this product. Women may want to stay away from Drive fearing the androgen content will produce

virilization symptoms. Estrogen can sometimes become troublesorm with this drug, presumably from the aromatization of boldenone which is slight. Methylandrostenediol itself can directly aromatize, however it has been shown to display some low affinity for the estrogen receptor (possibly enhancing estrogenic activity as well). Sensitive individuals may therefore opt for the addition of an antiestrogei such as Nolvadex® and/or Proviron®, in an effort to avoid any chance of developing gynecomastia and minimize any slight smoothness due to subcutaneous water retention. In comparison to stronger stacks however water bloat
is usually not a major problem with Drive. This combination is in fact often noted for producing a ver hard, quality physique.

Winstrol, stanozolol is one of the most popular steroids among the top ones. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, much milder in effect except for the androgenic side effects associated with it. It is shown to exhibit a great tendency to produce muscle growth with a milder effect than Dianabol, however as said before the water retention and the androgenic effects are not a concern.It is not capable of converting into estrogen so any sensitive individuals this drug is a great way to

go since gyno is no problem. Since estrogen is the culprit of producing water retention this steroid is capable of producing lean, quality look to the physique with no fear of excess poundage except for muscle growth. This is why it makes this a favorable drug for pre-contest or to gain a ripped look especially if stacked with a non-aromatizing or milder aromatizing drugs such as Halotestin, Primobolan, Deca or Equipose. One should take in consideration that with the C17-AA alteration to bypass the livers first pass it will cause stress on the liver with the oral preparation (It could possibly happen with the injectable

as well.) Stanozolol also plays a role in strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL cholesterol levels, especially with the oral form because of the method of administration, which may cause concern for this side effect. Combination with Proviron to the test cycle should prove useful by enhancing the free state of this potent muscle building androgen. The usage of this drug should be in the length of no more than 8 weeks since liver problems could arise so always check blood levels and liver enzymes.

Androlic / Anadrol can give dramatic gains in strength and muscle mass in a very short time. Water retention is considerable and since the muscle cell draws a lot of water, the entire muscle system of most athletes will look smooth. Androlic / Anadrol does not cause a qualitative muscle gain but rather a quantitative one. Androlic / Anadrol "lubricates" the joints since water is stored there as well. On the one hand this is a factor in the enormous increase of strength and, on the other hand, it allows athletes with joint problems a painless workout. A strict diet, together with the simultaneous

intake of Nolvadex-D and Proviron , can significantly reduce water retention.

The most common is muscle cramps which a potassium supplement, helping to maintain the electrolyte status, would drastically reduce.

The drug is particularly excellent for use as the last injectable used in a cycle, since for any given anabolic effect it gives much less inhibition than other steroids such as testosterone, nandrolone, or trenbolone . Therefore, residual levels of Primobolan can allow recovery in the taper while still offering useful anti-catabolic or even anabolic support.

For years, the steroid black market has been the only supply source for athletes to get Dianabol where, proverbially, D-bol is available in all colors, forms, sizes, and under any imaginable name. Those, however, who are only interested in original compounds,should make sure that the selected compound is part of the list with common trade marks for methan-drostenolone (methandienone)

or that the compound looks like the one in the photos following this description. According to our experience the Thailandian Anabol tablets and the Indian Pronabol-5 are the best compounds. The "Thai-landians", as they are often called by their users, can be easily identified. They are pentagonally shaped, of pink color and indented. One thousand tablets are packaged in a plastic bag which is contained in a labelled plastic box the size of a drinking glass. Note that the manufacturing date and not the expiration date is printed on the label. The plastic box is usually also shrink-wrapped. The price for a 1000-package lies
around $500-$ 1000 on the black market. The Indian Pronabol-5, simply called "Pronas", is enclosed in an oblong box with ten strips of 10 tablets each. These tablets are round, white, and indented on one side. The original Pronas can be easily recognized since they come in a silver aluminum strip with a double bottom, and have a purple irnprint so that the tablets are invisible. Since the fake Pronabols are indented as well one must make certain not to purchase tablets in bulk or tablets contained in a normal push-through strip. Original Pronas, cost approximately $ 100 per package on the black market. Other easily
available original compounds are the Polish Metanabol and the Czech Stenoion.

How to Buy Bonavar

Theoretically, Restandol (Andriol) should build up muscle and mass, in combination with noticeable water retention, in a fast and reliable way, similar to the tested injectable Testosterone Sustanon and Testoviron Depot. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Some athletes who work out for a competition store too much water due to their use of the injectable testosterone, resulting in smooth muscles. However, if they still do not want to give up Testo, they should at least not have the estrogen-linked complications

caused by taking up to 240 mg Restandol (Andriol)/day and be able to reduce the water retention. In this phase, the estrogen level must be kept as low as possible, otherwise the best diet will be useless. The intake of Restandol (Andriol) makes sense in this case and usually brings acceptable results. Otherwise, Restandol (Andriol) is a drug better used by hobby-bodybuilders.

While using dianabol high blood pressure and a faster heartbeat can occur which may require the intake of an antihypertensive drug.

In summary, the biggest mistake we can make with this drug is to get confused by the price tag. Even a relatively short cycle of this drug (and ancillaries) will cost in the thousand(s), not hundreds of dollars. We cannot jump to the conclusion that

GH is therefore the most unbelievable anabolic. This hormone is simply very complex, and costly to manufacture (though it should be getting cheaper). If you were looking to achieve just a great mass gain the $3,000 would be better spent on steroids. Growth Hormone will not turn you into an overnight "freaky" monster and it is certainly not "the answer". Yes, it is a very effective performance enhancement tool. But it is more a tool for the competitive athlete looking for more than steroids alone can provide. There is little doubt that GH contributes considerably to the physiques and performance of
many top bodybuilders and athletes. In this arena, the money spent on it is well justified, the drug obviously necessary. But outside of competitive sports it is usually not.

In bodybuilding Halotestin is almost exclusively taken during preparation for a competition. Since its substance is strongly androgenic while at the same time aromatizing very poorly, this substance helps the athlete obtain an elevated androgen level while keeping the estrogen concentration low.

Generic Name: Nandrolone Decanoate

Jurox: Testo LA (Australia) - 100 mg/ml

Pregnyl by Organon.1,500 to 5,000 (International

Units) per 1ml amps. This drug is not a steroid but it is widely used in athletics today. HCG is a natural protein hormone secreted by the human placenta and purified form the urine of pregnant women. This hormone is not a natural male hormone but mimics the natural hormone LH (Luetinising Hormone) almost identically. This LH stimulates the production of testosterone by the testis in males. Thus HCG sends the same message and results in increased testosterone production by the testis due to HCG’s effect on the leydig cells of the testis. Normally this HCG is used to treat women with certain ovarian disorders and

it is used to stimulate the testis of men who may be hypogonadal. Athletes use HCG to increase the body’s own natural production of testosterone which is often depressed by long term steroid use. Also when steroids are used in high dosages they can cause false signals to the hypothalamus that results in a depressed signal to the testicles. Over a period of weeks of this depressed signal the testicles ability to respond to any signal from the pituitary becomes very weak, which results in testicular atrophy. To avoid this athletes will use HCG to keep an artificial signal going to the testis and preventing testicular atrophy.

Winstrol depot is very popular anabolic steroid and is a derivative of DHT. It is a relatively low androgenic steroid which does not seem to aromatize. It can be toxic to the liver in excessive dosages. Winstrol Depot is manufactured by Winthrop in USA and by Zambon in Europe.

For most men, the recommended dose is 50 mg. taken, as needed, approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. However, sildenafil citrate may be taken anywhere from 4 hours

to 0.5 hour before sexual activity. Based on effectiveness and toleration, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day.

Women who absolutely must use an injectable testosterone should only use this preparation. The Testosterone Propionate dosage schedule should also be more spread out for a female bodybuilder, with injections coming every 5 to 7 days. The dosage obviously would be lower as well, generally in the range of 25 mg to 50 mg per injection. Androgenic activity should be less pronounced with this schedule,

giving blood levels time to sufficiently decrease before the drug is administered again. In order to further reduce any risks, the duration of this cycle should not exceed 8 weeks. Should a stronger anabolic effect be needed, a small amount of Durabolin (Deca-Durabolin if unavailable), Oxandrolone or Winstrol could be added. Of course the risk of noticing virilizing effects from these drugs may increase, even with the addition of a mild anabolic. Since many of the masculinizing side effects of steroid use can be irreversible, it is very important for the female athlete to monitor the dosage, duration and incidence

of side effects very closely.

Advice for men

The drug is particularly excellent for use as the last injectable used in a cycle, since for any given anabolic effect it gives much less inhibition than other steroids such as testosterone, nandrolone, or trenbolone . Therefore, residual levels of Primobolan can allow recovery in the taper while still offering useful anti-catabolic or even anabolic support.

A number of medical reviews have cited its outstanding potential to promote muscle gains as well as fat loss and weight loss.

Provironum© is the Schering brand name for the oral androgen

mesterolone (1 methyl-dihydrotestosterone). Just as with DHT, the activity of this steroid is that of a strong androgen which does not aromatize into estrogen. In clinical situations Provironum© is generally used to treat various types of sexual dysfunction, which often result from a low endogenous testosterone level. It can usually reverse problems of sexual disinterest and impotency, and is sometimes used to increase the sperm count. The drug does not stimulate the body to produce testosterone, but is simply an oral androgen substitute that is used to compensate for a lack of the natural male androgen.

Anastrozole

(Arimidex)

The most common is muscle cramps which a potassium supplement, helping to maintain the electrolyte status, would drastically reduce.

Sexual dysfunction has been reported with diazepam. Libido decrease, impotence, ejaculation dysfunction (delayed ejaculation), and orgasm dysfunction (retarded or no orgasm).

Testolactone:

The half-life is probably about 5 days.

The second use is in enhancing the potency of testosterone. Testosterone in the body at normal physiological levels is mostly inactive. As much as 97 or 98 percent of testosterone in that amount is bound

to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin, two proteins. In such a form testosterone is mostly inactive. But as with the aromatase enzyme, DHT has a higher affinity for these proteins than testosterone does, so when administered simultaneously the mesterolone will attach to the SHBG and albumin, leaving larger amounts of free testosterone to mediate anabolic activities such as protein synthesis. Another way in which it helps to increase gains. Its also another part of the equation that makes it ineffective on its own, as binding to these proteins too, would render it a non-issue at the androgen receptor.

Methandriol (MAD) is not really an actual steroid. It's more of a prohormone. Its only illegal because it's either esterized or methylated, both practices declaring any steroidal substance illegal by the catch clause for schedule III drugs. But basically its 5-androstene-3beta, 17beta-diol, better known as 5AD. A prohormone that is legally available in pure form and a rather weak one at that.

Being a prohormone it means it needs to interact with an enzyme to form the active substrate. In this case 5AD is a testosterone precursor, but it only yields about 0.19% of testosterone upon interaction with the 3beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme it uses to convert. So in terms of active anabolic compounds you see MAD is weaker than weak. Even in legal circles 5AD isn't really used very often because there are better substances available. So what's really the use of MAD? Well it seems 5AD is a potent estrogen agonist. That means it doesn't necessarily act as an estrogen and it certainly doesn't convert to an estrogen, but that it increases the effect of circulating estrogens from other compounds. This makes MAD quite capable of increasing bulk weight (water and/or fat) quite well when stacked with a substance that aromatizes heavily, such as methandrostenolone or testosterone. As we discussed in the profile on boldenone (Equipoise) estrogen contributes to the storing of glycogen, the release of GH and IGF-1 in the body. It also upgrades the androgen receptor. Possibly delivering greater results from AR-mediating compounds. Trenbolone, testosterone, drostanolone...

One thing also noted with the use of 5AD prohormones is that they increase the conversion of the 3beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme in one direction. In legal circles its therefore often stacked with other diol compounds to increase their yield of active substrate. With steroids it may be useful in increasing the amount of activation of compounds compared to deactivation at this enzyme. DHT's such as mesterolone and drostanolone are often deactivated by this enzyme into 5-alpha-androstanes. 5AD use may keep a higher amount of these compounds active.

5AD also possesses an immune system upgrading effect. For people prone to disease easily, especially on low-calorie diets, 5AD may provide some relief. Perhaps by increasing white blood cells, though the mechanism isn't entirely clear.

The downsides are quite clear. By itself it has no real anabolic activity other than that mediated by already existing estrogens. This also means that in high doses (exceeding 50 mg daily) its quite prone to causing estrogenic effects such as gynocomastia. I know of a few people that used a high dose of this substance to increase immunity and developed gyno problems. One might imagine that using a mix of an aromatase blocker (Proviron/cytadren) and an estrogen receptor antagonist (clomid/Nolvadex) may provide relief if it weren't for two things. The first being that its simply not anabolic enough for you to spend more money on and the second being that all the anabolic effects that it does have are mediated by estrogen. Making anti-estrogen use rather counter-productive.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to use this compound really. Not in this day and age anyway. One thing I have tried to find out, but couldn't quite substantiate is whether or not the injected version (dipropionate) is also 17-alpha-alkylated, like the oral version. The methyl group in its structure indicates it is, but I have my doubts as this characteristic (being 17a alkylated) would make it virtually impossible, or very hard at least to allow double esterification (the addition of di-propionate). But as I stated, I wasn't able to find out.

Use:

Methandriol is mostly found as a 17-alpha-alkylated oral, meaning the time-span of its use is limited due to hepatoxicity. After a stack with such a compound one might want to stack a number of proven liver protectors such as P450, milk thistle and Vitamin B6. The reason I do not recommend you take them while taking an oral methylated or ethylated steroid is because they obviously fortify the liver and may increase the hepatic breakdown of your oral compounds. Secondary drugs with methandriol are not wishful. Its not a strong androgen of its own, and most of its anabolic effects are mediated by agonizing estrogen. So while stacking an anti-aromatase or estrogen antagonist may help relieve estrogen-related conditions, it also totally negates any use you may have for this substance.

One would preferably stack this with an aromatizable compound is the logical conclusion. Testosterone (250-750 mg per week) being the prime candidate since it aromatizes well allowing the methandriol to execute its primary function, and is adequately androgenic through its conversion at the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme (to form DHT) that it can benefit from methandriol's ability to upgrade the androgen receptor. Those who fear estrogenic effects, may prefer a mildly aromatizing hormone such as boldenone (300-400 mg per week) better, though one has to wonder about the use of a moderate compound like boldenone by itself, since the methandriol has no real addition of its own to make.

Methandriol is rarely sold or found these days, whereas its still easy to obtain. The reason is that a number of legal variations have surfaced over the years. Now these prohormones (5AD) were often considered inferior due to low availability but in the mean time an etherized (attaching an ether instead of an ester) form has become available that gives it adequate bio-availability in higher doses (400-500 mg a day), still amounting to no more than the price of proper methandriol, minus the hepatoxicity.

The use of an estrogen antagonist such as clomid or Nolvadex after a cycle to bring back natural test is highly recommended, due to the high levels of active post-cycle estrogen in the body at that time. Using Nolvadex for 3-4 weeks at a tapering dose of 40,30,20 lowering the dose every 7-8 days would be adequate to help you bring back natural test and retain more gains.
