Peptide CJC 1295 DAC truth and myths

Joe Weider

There is a lot of controversial information about CJC 1295 DAC on the internet. Some sources state that CJC 1295 DAC has a special formula (Drug Affinity Complex). This modification allows it to bind to plasma proteins, which prolongs its half-life to several weeks (!). The other sources state that it is unable to raise the levels of HGH up to anabolic effect. CJC 1295 DAC experiment So, we decided to conduct an experiment and figure out how CJC 1295 DAC works. Whether this drug increases the level of HGH… Read More »

Follistatin 344

Joe Weider

Folistatin 344 is a bioactive peptide, which can be found in all tissues of an organism. Its major role is inhibition of myostatin (growth differentiation factor, GDF-8), a peptide which suppresses development of muscle tissue. The regulatory effect of myostatin is evident in animals (including humans) with damaged myostatin gene. They have an extraordinary muscular development and much higher level of strength. Thus, by inhibiting myostatin one can greatly increase the muscle mass. Naturally it occurs under the proper stimuli, such as weight training. There are reports that Follistatin has… Read More »

bunch of steroid drugs

Nowadays there are a lot of fat burning and weight gaining cycles. In this article we are going to discuss the most efficient ones. First of all, one should remember that steroids reveal their full effectiveness only in case of proper diet and intensive workouts. Also before taking steroids you should make sure that simple diet and workouts do not provide any further growth of muscle mass. Side effects Many steroids are prone to aromatization. This is a big disadvantage, as they can cause definite health problems (for example, gynecomastia)… Read More »

Steroids Assist Treating Septic Shock

Joe Weider

Scientists from George Institute for Global Health found out that steroids can significantly increase survival rate, when taken as supplementary septic shock treatment. Sepsis is a dangerous condition, when the reaction of an organism to infection may cause death of a patient. Let alone damage to different organs, such as heart, brain, kidneys. The results of this research could improve the recovery of dangerously ill patients and save health systems worldwide billions of dollars yearly. At the end of this study scientists reported that steroids reduce both the period of… Read More »

Quadruple doses of steroids reduce acute asthma attacks in adults.

Joe Weider

In accordance with the recent research, one can reduce acute asthma attacks by increasing the content of steroids in inhaler. In previous research led by scientists at the University of Nottingham the inhaling of double doses was not efficient in preventing the frequency of dangerous asthma attacks. Therefore, NIHR funded a new study in order to find out if quadrupling of steroid doses can be more beneficial. About 300 million suffer from asthma throughout the world. One should mention that acute attack of this disease can lead to definite health… Read More »

Viagra became a perfect killer of metastatic cancer

Joe Weider

A new study published in the journal OncoImmunology revealed that Viagra in a combination with flu vaccine can be efficient in fighting metastatic cancer.   These two rather inexpensive and clinically approved drugs may become a solution of major obstacle in fighting cancer. If clinical trials confirm this discovery, Viagra + vaccine can solve the immunity problem, which occurs after operation.   Initially scientist developed Viagra to improve blood flow to cardiac muscle. However, it came into medical practice as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Recent experiment showed that it… Read More »

Tamoxifen and raloxifene slow down the muscular dystrophy

Joe Weider

Steroids were probably the only cure for recurrent inflammation and disease progression in patients with muscular dystrophy. However, according to the recent study published in American Journal of Pathology a new way of treatment was discovered. Scientists found out that selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), namely Tamoxifen and Raloxifene, can greatly improve the function of respiratory, skeletal and heart muscles. These drugs also enhanced bone thickness in mice of both sexes having the same genetic deviations as in patients with muscular dystrophy. According to Dr. Qi Long Lu, director of the… Read More »

Testosterone cypionate

Joe Weider

Testosterone cypionate is a long-chained testosterone ester which comes in the form of oily solution. Its half-life is about 2 weeks. Due to the long half life its ability to cause water retention is more expressed than in other steroids.  Usually bodybuilders take it in muscle gaining combinations. It performes the same functions as endogenous testosterone, which is responsible for major male traits  – libido, aggression and muscle growth. It affects anabolic receptors which leads to nitrogen retention in muscle cells and subsequently causing synthesis an accumulation of proteins. Besides… Read More »

Nandrolone

Joe Weider

Nandrolone – (aka Nandrolone Decanoate, 19-nortestosterone, Deca etc.) is an anabolic steroid, which is naturally produced in human organism after heavy exercises or during pregnancy. It has high anabolic and low androgenic properties. Its molecular structure lacks carbon in position 19, therefore it is similar to progestins. That is why its androgenic properties are low, as compared to testosterone.  However, progestin-like structure and its ability to bind to progesterone receptors entails certain side-effects. Steroid characteristics Anabolic properties – 150% (comparing with testosterone) Androgenic properties – 30% Transformation into estrogens –… Read More »
