Methandienone (also known as methandrostenolone, Dbol, dianabol) is an orally-effective anabolic steroid originally developed in Germany and released in the US in the early 1960s by Ciba Specialty Chemicals. This is a derivative from testosterone, one of the most popular steroid compounds in the world and the second steroid (after testosterone) ever produced. Methandienone promotes dramatic increases in protein synthesis, glycogenolysis, and muscle strength over a short space of time.

It also has the effect of decreasing the steroid's affinity for sex hormone binding globulin. As a result, methandrostenolone is significantly more active than an equivalent quantity of testosterone, resulting in rapid growth of muscle tissue. However, the concomitant elevation in estrogen levels - a result of the aromatization of methandrostenolone - results in significant water retention. Hence, do not forget to perform blood works and use an aromatase inhibitor.

In summary, this is a very good drug, and a potent tool for quick gains or retaining gains.

• Hypertension
• acne
• Alopecia (hair loss on the head)

and - in the course of aromatization as estrogen-related side effects.


• Gynecomastia (formation of a female breast in men)
.
• Increase in subcutaneous fat tissue and water retention in the tissue on
.
• Furthermore, especially in men, there are disturbances of the gonadal regulatory circuit, i.e. an impairment of hormone and sperm production and, as a consequence, temporary infertility
.
• Liver damage is to be expected with prolonged use of metandienone, as with the use of other 17α-alkylated steroids
