Description
The description
Danabol (Methandrostenolone) is an anabolic androgenic steroid derived from testosterone. A double bond has been added at carbons 1 and 2 and an additional methyl group at carbon position 17, which protects the hormone when administered orally. The latter classifies Danabol as a C17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroid. The resulting steroid is rated 40-60 lower than testosterone in terms of binding to androgen receptors. It also shows low binding to serum proteins, which determines its strong anabolic nature.
Danabol increases protein synthesis, nitrogen retention and the breakdown of glycogen into glucose. Protein synthesis is the rate at which cells make protein, the building blocks of muscle. Nitrogen retention is important because muscle tissue is made up of 16% nitrogen. Lack of nitrogen in the muscles causes catabolism, a condition in which we lose muscle tissue. By increasing the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, we provide a higher carbohydrate content.
Another important feature of Danabol is its good interaction with other anabolic androgenic steroids. This anabolic steroid combines well with Trenbolone, Masteron and Equipoise.
A brief history of Danabol
Danabol is one of the most popular anabolic steroids of all time. Undoubtedly, it is the most widely used oral anabolic steroid. Danabol is not the first steroid used to enhance performance in sports, but its mode of administration is key to its widespread use. Unlike other steroids, Danabol is designed specifically for sports, to improve performance and performance. In the 1940s and 1950s, Russia dominated the Olympic Games. During this time, Dr. John Ziegler, the doctor for the US National Olympic team, learned about the use of steroids by Russian athletes. In 1958 with his help, the pharmaceutical company Ciba Pharmaceuticals produced the first batches of Methandrostenolone under the trade name Danabol.
Effects of Danabol
The effects of Danabol can be summed up as fast and obvious. With its use, a weight gain of 9 kg is possible in just a few weeks. At the same time, this steroid significantly increases strength. This makes Danabol an ideal steroid to use during periods of muscle building.
However, Danabol causes many side effects that must be taken into account.
Recommendations, dosage and association
The dosage of Danabol is 20-30mg, maximum 100mg per day, the latter considered for advanced bodybuilders. Usually even 15mg per day produces remarkable results. The half-life of Danabol is 3-5 hours, so it is recommended to divide the daily intake several times in order to maintain stable levels of the hormone in the blood.
The recommended intake is 60 mg in three equal parts per day for athletes who weigh more than 80 kg and who aim to increase their muscle mass.
Danabol absorption is best when taking the steroid with food, as it dissolves fat well.
Cycles with Danabol
Dianabol Steroid Cycle #1 (For Mass)
Products: 50 tablets / 10mg Methandrostenolone
In addition :
For the liver: Liver Stabil, Liv-52 or Essentiale Forte at the dose indicated on the leaflet.
For cholesterol: Lipid Stabil (3 capsules/day) and fish oil (4 g/day).
Estrogen control: tamoxifen (10-20 mg/day).
Comment : This is the first simple cycle to build muscle mass and uses a standard vial of Methandrostenolone. This cycle is likely to provide very noticeable muscle growth for athletes new to steroids. The weight increase is often estimated at 3-5 kg. This is usually not accompanied by significant visible side effects such as gynecomastia and water retention. However, it is considered an initiation cycle. Methandrostenolone is a 17-alpha alkylated steroid for oral administration and produces significant cardiovascular and hepatic toxicity. Reuse of this steroid should be limited.
Dianabol Steroid Cycle #2 (For Mass)
Products: 100 tablets / 10 mg methandrostenolone
In addition :
For the liver: Liver Stabil, Liv-52 or Essentiale Forte at the dose indicated on the leaflet.
For cholesterol: Lipid Stabil (3 capsules/day) and fish oil (4 g/day).
Estrogen control: tamoxifen (20-40 mg/day).
Comment : It is common as the first cycle with Danabol. This cycle uses a higher dose and longer administration time. The doses used here are more for bodybuilding purposes. A higher intensity of side effects is possible.
Steroid cycle with Deca/Danabol #1 (for mass)
Products: 10ml 200mg/ml nandrolone decanoate, 50 tablets 10mg methandrostenolone
In addition :
For the liver: Liver Stabil, Liv-52 or Essentiale Forte at the dose indicated on the leaflet.
For cholesterol: Lipid Stabil (3 capsules/day) and fish oil (4 g/day).
Estrogen control: tamoxifen (20-40 mg/day)
Comment : This is a very old and common combination based primarily on the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate. Methandrostenolone serves as an androgenic component during the third week, when the side effects of reduced androgenic activity occur. They usually lead to a loss of sexual desire. The doses in this cycle are not high like with most bodybuilding standards, but are sufficient for a significant increase in muscle size and strength.
Steroid cycle with Deca/Danabol #2 (for mass)
Products: 20ml 200mg/ml nandrolone decanoate, 100 tablets 10mg methandrostenolone
In addition :
For the liver: Liver Stabil, Liv-52 or Essentiale Forte at the dose indicated on the leaflet.
For cholesterol: Lipid Stabil (3 capsules/day) and fish oil (4 g/day).
Estrogen control: tamoxifen (20-40 mg/day)
Comment : This is a more popular version of the Deca/Danabol cycle, with more common doses for athletes with moderate steroid experience. Side effects with these doses are expected to be more pronounced, although less than with the combination of testosterone and oxymetholone.
Danabol Reviews
Danabol is an excellent anabolic androgenic steroid having a major role in periods of muscle mass gain. Anadrol (oxymetholone) is often compared for its properties, but Danabol produces fewer side effects due to its structural change. Danabol has played an important role in the history of anabolic steroids in sports. For decades it has remained one of the most popular anabolic steroids for increasing productivity.
Side effects
Estrogenic
Danabol exhibits relatively strong estrogenic side effects. Converts to methylestradiol, which is significantly more potent than estradiol. This is why side effects such as water retention and gynecomastia are common with this anabolic steroid. On the other hand, water retention can cause high blood pressure. Additional anti-estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators such as Nolvadex (tamoxifen citrate) and aromatase inhibitors such as Femara (letrozole) are recommended to combat the strong estrogenic side effects of this steroid.
Androgen
Danabol is not a highly androgenic steroid, its androgenicity is structurally reduced. However, the manifestation of androgenic side effects is possible. These can be: oily skin and acne, hair loss on certain parts of the body and baldness. They are due to the metabolism of methandrostenolone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in androgen-sensitive tissues. The use of enzyme inhibitors such as finasteride has little effect on the side effects of Danabol.
Despite its reduced androgenicity, Danabol can cause virilizing side effects in women. Women are recommended to avoid the use of this anabolic steroid.
Cardiovascular
Danabol can affect cholesterol. This includes suppressing HDL cholesterol and increasing LDL cholesterol. A good diet rich in omega fatty acids and plenty of aerobic exercise are recommended.
Suppression of testosterone
All anabolic steroids suppress natural testosterone production. This is especially true for Danabol. For this reason, many Danabol users include some form of exogenous testosterone during the cycle.
After stopping Danabol and other hormones, the body's natural production will be restored. However, this process can take a long time, even several months. Proper withdrawal from the cycle with appropriate post-steroid therapy is recommended to help restore serum testosterone levels more quickly. These therapies typically include Nolvadex and Clomid, and often supplemental Pregnyl. If such a program is not put in place, cortisol can lead to a serious loss of muscle mass accumulated during the cycle.
Hepatotoxicity
Danabol is a C17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroid and is hepatotoxic in nature. Liver enzyme levels will increase while taking this steroid. This does not mean that liver damage will follow. Generally, values return to normal levels immediately after stopping oral anabolic steroids.
However, it should be borne in mind that it is advisable to limit the consumption of any oral steroid to 6-8 weeks. It has been found that after this period, the risk of liver damage increases significantly. It is recommended to take a detoxifying dietary supplement such as Essentiale Forte N along with oral steroids.
