Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) │ Side Effects, Benefits and Dosage

What is Dianabol?

Dianabol is the old name for the Ciba brand methandrostenolone oral steroid, it is a derivative of testosterone that gives strong anabolic properties and moderate androgenic properties.

This compound was first available in the 1960s and quickly became a popular and popular favorite, probably due to the fact that it is extremely effective and easy to use.

What are the side effects of Dianabol?

Similar to Testosterone and Anadrol 50, Dianabol is a powerful steroid but also one that brings notable side effects.

Methandrostenolone is somewhat estrogenic, so gynecomastia is a constant concern during its use, and it can occur in the early stages of the cycle. Particularly when high doses are used, at the same time water retention can be quite a pronounced problem causing a noticeable loss of muscle definition as well as gains in water and subcutaneous fat.

More sensitive individuals will want to keep estrogen under control by adding an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex or Proviron.

Arimidex being a stronger drug might be a better choice, but it can be somewhat expensive compared to standard estrogen maintenance therapies.

Other side effects that are common with the use of this substance are:

  • Oily skin breakouts.
  • Acne.
  • Growth of facial and body hair.
  • Aggressive behaviors may increase.
  • Make any pattern of baldness worse.

Sensitive individuals will want to avoid the use of this drug and opt for a milder anabolic such as Deca-Durabolin.

While Anabol does become a more powerful steroid via interaction with the enzyme 5-Reductase (the same one above converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone) it has a very small affinity to do so in the human body, being moderately androgenic.

The use of Dianabol is really only popular in men, when it is used by a woman there are very strong virilization symptoms. Some still experiment with this drug and find that low doses (5 mg) of this extremely powerful steroid give muscle growth gains. When Dianabol is administered it will produce exceptional strength and mass gains.

What dose to use?

In effectiveness it is usually compared to other strong steroids such as Testosterone and Anadrol 50. A daily dose of four to five tablets (20 to 25 mg) is enough to give almost anyone dramatic results.

In order to withstand oral administration, this compound is c17 alpha alkylated, it is known that this alteration protects the drug from being deactivated by the liver (allowing almost all the drug to enter the bloodstream), although it can be toxic to this organ .

Prolonged exposure to c17 alpha alkylated substances can result in real damage possibly the development of some types of cancer. Cycles must be maintained for short periods, usually less than eight weeks old to avoid causing any noticeable damage.

Something interesting to note is that Methandrostenolone is structurally identical to Boldenone, except that it contains the added 17 alpha alkylated group described above.

The first difference seems to lie in the trend for estrogenic side effects that seem to be more pronounced with Dianabol . Equipoise is known to be gentler on this issue, although, users commonly take this drug without adding an anti-estrogen.

The Dianabol is much more estrogenic not because aromatise more easily, as in fact the 17 alpha Metyll and c1-2 double loop Encourage the aromatization process. The problem is that methandrostenolone converts 17 alpha methyl estradiol into a more biologically active form of estrogen than regular estradiol.

But Dianabol appears to be much more potent in terms of muscle growth than Boldenone, supporting the notion that estrogen does play an important role in anabolism, in fact boldenone and methandrostenolone differ greatly in their anabolic potencies, which rarely thought to be related as a result, Dianabol use is typically restricted to bulking phases while Equipoise is considered an excellent cutting steroid.

The half-life of Dianabol is only three to five hours, a relatively short period; meaning that a single daily dose will produce a varying blood level, with peaks and valleys throughout the day.

The user also has the option of either dividing the tablet during the day or taking them all at once. The usual recommendation has been to divide them and try to regulate their concentration in the blood, although this may produce a lower peak in blood than if the tablets were taken at one time.

Since it is known that the blood concentration will peak around 1.5 to 3 hours after administration, we would like to think that this is the best time to take the tablets.

It seems logical that taking the tablets early in the day, preferably before training would be optimal, this would allow a considerable number of hours of the day for an androgen-rich metabolism to increase nutrient intake.

Athletes often wonder how to cycle 100 5 mg tablets, as it is the only available presentation to use, although most prefer to cycle at least 2000 tablets half of this amount can be used successfully for a small mini cycle, the goal It should be to take an effective amount but also to lengthen it as much as possible, this can be achieved by taking four tablets during the week (Monday to Friday) abstaining at the weekend.

This gives us a weekly total of 20 tablets, lasting 100 tablets for five weeks, this should be long enough to have noticeable gains from the use of this drug, particularly if you have not used steroids extensively before.

It is not necessary to vary the dose during the cycle, this method should provide much more consistent gains compared to a pyramid dose schedule.

The dianabol is one of the most popular steroids in the world therefore one can find a wide variety of preparations on the black market. This drug is among the most counterfeit.

Animal Power has recently introduced its Methan Tabs to Mexico, these are 10 mg methandrostenolone, which are packaged in 100 tablets per glass bottle. Animal Power has taken counterfeiting very seriously, from the beginning they have included hologram stamps on boxes and vials.

Pet's Pharma is another new designer brand on the steroids scene in Mexico. They sell two versions of methandrostenolone, one is injectable and the other is the standard oral presentation. Methandriol 60 injectable contains 60 mg / ml of the steroid in a 10 ml vial while the oral Methandium 25 presentation, and comes in bottles of 100 25 mg tablets.

Among the most popular today are Denkall's D-Bol preparations in Mexico. D- Bol comes in three different forms:

  • 10mg tablets
  • 10mg capsules
  • 25 mg / ml injection

The injectable uses oil to dissolve the steroid instead of the propylene glycol, making it much more comfortable compared to Reforvit.

Reforvit is a Loeffler brand veterinary methandrostenolone product, and is prepared in both oral and injectable forms.

The health system in Mexico sells methandrostenolone under the brand name Dianabol , just as Denkall and Pet's Pharma produce it in both oral and injectable presentations.


The Sulfuric Acid Test

Ronny Tober recently reported a home test being used by European bodybuilders to help identify fake Dianabol tablets .

Called the EZ-Test, this test contains a solution of sulfuric acid, which is a strong reactive agent that clearly breaks down and dissolves the fillers used in the production of many of these tablets.

Sulfuric acid will produce a strong visible reaction when it comes into contact with the active agent, making it easier to identify if you have a real product in the case of methandrostenolone, the tablets produce a reddish reaction, almost immediately upon contact with the acid solution.

The lack of this reaction will obviously indicate that the tablet is worthless and contains nothing but inert ingredients.
