All about anabolic steroids

SARMs – Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators SARMs belong to a group of molecules that selectively bind to sex hormone receptors. By their action they are similar to SERMs -Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (e.g. Clomiphene and Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)) with the only difference that they bind to androgen receptors. As SARMs are not steroids, they do not undergo conversion by steroid enzymes, therefore there are no undesirable side-effects. The initial aim of SARMs was to reduce the adverse effects of testosterone on prostate. But later scientists found out that they can increase… Read More »

Masteron (also Drostanolone, Drolban, Metormon, Permastril, Mastager, etc.) is an anabolic steroid which originates from dihydrotestosterone. It has high androgenic and moderate anabolic properties. Masteron is not an aromatizable steroid (i.e. there is no conversion into estrogen), moreover it acts as aromatase inhibitor. Therefore there is no risk of estrogen related side-effects, such as gynecomastia and water retention. In clinical practice it was used as a cure for breast cancer in women, however, due to the high risks of virilization, it is practically out of use today. Due to its… Read More »

Primobolan (Methenolone) is an anabolic steroid, which originates from dihydrotestosterone. It has weak androgenic and moderate anabolic properties. This hormone is available in the form of tablets (Oral Primobolan), and injectable form (Primobolan Depot). Injectable version of this substance (Primobolan Depot) is an Enanthate ester of Methenolone, which has prolonged action (about two weeks). It is regarded as one of the safest steroid. In medical practice it was successfully applied in treatment of underweight children, osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The major inconvenience is that its injection is rather painful. A tablet… Read More »

Anavar (oxandrolone) Oxandrolone (also Oxanoger,  Anavar, Oxandrin etc.) is one of the safest oral steroids. It has high anabolic index, meanwhile its androgenic properties are extremely low. This steroid greatly stimulates immunity and increases insulin sensitivity. Therefore it was initially introduced into the medical practice as medication for immunocompromised HIV patients and overweight associated diabetes. It is also effective as a treatment of osteoporosis, osteochondrosis, Turner’s syndrome, anemia etc. Later, when its anabolic properties were discovered, it became popular among bodybuilders. Steroid characteristics Anabolic properties – 400% of testosterone Androgenic… Read More »

Methandrostenolone (Danabol, Naposim, Methanoger) Methandrostenolone is an anabolic steroid which was initially used as cure for burns and as medicine that improves the general tonus in women. Later, when it turned out that this substance can provide muscle gains, it became very popular among bodybuilders. Though nowadays this drug is banned by FDA, you can freely buy it in different countries of Asia and Eastern Europe. This substance goes under different trade names such as: Dianabol, Danabol, Nerobol, Naposim, DBOL, Methandienone, Methanoger, Anabolin, Bionabol, Dehydromethyltestosterone, Metasthenol, Novabol, Perabol, Perbolin, Pronabol,… Read More »

Testosterone propionate is considered one of the most popular steroids among bodybuilders. It can be used for gaining muscle mass and strength, but due to its specific properties it is also used for cutting cycles. Testosterone serves as a core molecule for creation of numerous hormonal (androgenic) compounds. By adding or removing atoms in testosterone molecule one can change its properties. For instance, testosterone propionate is created by attaching of propionic acid ester to testosterone molecule. Thus propionic residue determines pharmacological properties of this substance. Steroid characteristics Anabolic activity –… Read More »
