Aldactone is a diuretic and belongs to the subgroup of potassium--sparing diuretics. Aldactone is an
aldosterone antagonist. It influ-ences the body's own hormone, aldosterone, which accelerates the excretion of
potassium and reduces the excretion of sodium and water. Simplified, aldosterone regulates the endogenous
water household. The higher the aldosterone level, the more water is stored in the body. The use of Aldactone
results in a significant reduction in the aldosterone level so that an increased excretion of sodium and water
occurs while, at the same time, potassium is reabsorbed. This also explains why Aldactone is called a
potassium-sparing diuretic since it does not cause a loss of potassium like thiazides and furosemides (lasix)
do. Athletes must strictly observe that during the use of Aldactone no additional potassium is taken since this
would cause a life-threatening increase in the serum potassium level. Potassium--sparing diuretics have
relatively low diuretic effects so that Aldactone can be called a mild diuretic. It is interesting to note that
Aldactone is also an antiandrogen since it reduces the androgen level. Female athletes take advantage of this
characteristic by using it to minimize the virilization symptoms during steroid treatment or the symptoms after
treatment. For this purpose Aldactone is normally taken daily for 10 to14 days, usually in a dose of 50 mg/day.
In men this could cause problems since the relationship of the androgen level to the estrogen level changes in
favor of the latter. Thus, common side effects in men include pain in the nipples and breast swelling
(gynecomastia).
Bodybuilders use Aldactone almost exclusively during the last week before a competition. Since this causes
neither a dramatic nor an immediately noticeable draining effect, it is usually taken over 5-6 days in a dosage
of 2 tablets of 50 mg daily. Both male and female athletes take it. The main problems in men consist of
gynecomastia and possible impotence. Other side effects can be low blood pressure, muscle spasms,
dizziness, gastrointestinal pain, vomiting, irregular pulse rate, and fatigue.
Aldactone by Boehringer Mannheim of Germany is often found on the black market. A package contains 50
dragees of 50 mg each and costs approx. $30 on the black market. There are currently no Aldactone fakes
available.

ANABOLICUM VISTER
Substance: quinbolone
Trade Names:
Anabolicum Vister 10 mg cap.; Parke Davis Italy
Anabolicum Vister drops; Parke Davis Italy
Anabolicum Vister is an oral steroid produced only in Italy. It is administered in an unusual form since it is
either taken as a capsule or in drops. The latter type of administration is not used by athletes. In schools of
medicine Anabolicum Vister is used primarily in treating of the elderly, in particular women after menopause,
and for the treatment of general diseases and symptoms of old age. This is due to the fact that Anabolicum
Vister is a very weak androgenic steroid which is well-tolerated. It has mainly an anabolic effect which
stimulates the protein synthesis and has the welcome characteristic that it only slightly aromatizes. It also
causes only a low retention of water and salt. In addition, the substance is not I 7-alpha alkalifying and
consequently, not liver-toxic. However, all these positive characteristics make Anabolicurn Vister a very weak
steroid which does not help athletes achieve significant improvements. Women, older athletes, and steroid
novices may gain some advantages while the more advanced will be disappointed by its effect. Men usually
need very high doses in the range of 80-120 mg/day to feel anything at all, while some women react with a
small muscle gain and a nice strength gain by taking only 30-40 mg/day. As mentioned earlier, the side effects
are minimal and usually occur in persons taking high doses and showing sensitivity to the androgenic residual
effect. Thirty capsules come in a glass bottle with a screw cap, pack-aged in a matching box. Anabolicum
Vister is rarely found on the black market since there are very few requests from athletes.

ANADROL- oxymethylone
Substance: oxymetholone
Trade Names:
Anadrol 50 50 mg tab.; Syntex U.S.
Anadrol 50 is the strongest and, at the same time, also the most effective oral steroid. The compound has an
extremely high andro-genic effect which goes hand in hand with an extremely intense anabolic component.
For this reason, dramatic gains in strength and muscle mass can be achieved in a very short time. An increase
in body weight of 10 - 15 pounds or more in only 14 days is not un-usual. Water retention is considerable, so
that the muscle diameter quickly increases and the user gets a massive appearance within record time. Since
the muscle cell draws a lot of water, the entire muscle system of most athletes looks smooth, in part even
puffy. Anadrol does not cause a qualitative muscle gain but rather a quan-titative one which in the off-season
is quite welcome. Anadrol "lu-bricates" the joints since water is stored there as well. On the one hand this is a
factor in the enormous increase of strength and, on the other hand, it allows athletes with joint problems a
painless workout. Powerlifters in the higher weight classes are sold on Anadrol. A strict diet, together with the
simultaneous intake of Nolvadex and Proviron, can significantly reduce water retention so that a distinct
increase in the solid muscles is possible. By taking Anadrol the athlete experiences an enormous "pump
effect" during the workout in the exercised muscles. The blood volume in the body is significantly elevated
causing a higher blood supply to the muscles during workout. Anadrol increases the number of red blood cells,
allowing the muscle to absorb more oxygen. The muscle thus has a higher endurance and performance level.
Consequently, the athlete can rely on great power and high strength even after several sets. The highly
androgenic effect of Anadrol stimulates the regeneration of the body so that the often-feared "overtraining" is
unlikely. Although Anadrol is not a steroid used in preparation for a compe-tition, it does help more than any
other steroid during dieting to maintain the muscle mass and to allow an intense workout. Many bodybuilders
therefore use it up to about one week before a compe-tition, solving the problem of water retention by taking
antiestrogens and diuretics so that they will appear bulky and hard when in the limelight.
As for the dosage, opinions differ. A dosage sufficient for any athlete would be 0,5 - 0,8 mg per pound of body
weight/day. This corresponds to 1-4 tablets; i.e. 50-200 mg/day. Under no circumstances should an athlete
take more than four tablets in any given day. We are of the opinion that a daily intake of three tablets should
not be exceeded. Those of you who would like to try Anadrol 50 for the first time should begin with an intake of
only one 50 mg tablet. After a few days or even better, after one week, the daily dosage can be increased to
two tab-lets, one tablet each in the morning and evening, taken with meals. Athletes who are more advanced
or weigh more than 220 pounds can increase the dosage to 150 mg/day in the third week. This dos-age,
however, should not be taken for periods longer than two to three weeks. Anadrol 50 should not exceed six
weeks. After discontinuing Anadrol, it is important to continue ste-roid treatment with another compound since,
otherwise, a drastic reduction takes place and the user, as is often observed, within a short period looks the
same as before the treatment. No other ana-bolic/androgenic steroid causes such a fast and drastic loss in
strength and mass as does Anadrol 50. Athletes continue their treatment with injectable testosterone such as
5
Sustanon 250 or Testosterone enanthate for several weeks. Body-builders often combine Anadrol with Deca-
Durabolin or Testoster-one to build up strength and mass. A very effective stack which is also favored by
professionals consists of Anadrol 100 mg +/day, Parabolan 228 mg +/week, and 5ustanon 500 mg +/week.
This stack quickly improves strength and mass but it is not suitable for and steroid novices. Anadrol 50 is to be
taken seriously and the prevailing bodybuilder mentality "more is bet-ter" is out of place.
Anadrol 50 is unfortunately also the most harmful oral steroid. Its intake can cause many considerable side
effects. Since it is I 7-alpha alkylated it is very liver-toxic. Most users can expect certain pathological changes
in their liver values after approximately one week. An increase in liver values of both the enzymes GOT and
GPT also called transaminases, often cannot be avoided. Elevated GOT and GPT values are indications of
hepatitis, i.e. a liver infection. Those who discontinue oxymetholone will usually show normal values within two
months. Longer intake and/or higher doses can cause a yellow discoloration of fingernails, eyes, or skin
0aundice). This is because oxymetholone induces an increase of biliburin in the liver, producing a bile pigment
which causes the yellow discoloring of the skin. The liver enzyme gamma-GT also reacts sensitively to the
oxymetholone, causing it to elevate. If high dosages of Anadrol 50 are taken over a long period, there is an
increased risk that the de-scribed liver changes could end up damaging the liver. During the intake of Anadrol
50, the liver values, GOT, GPT, bilirubin, gamma--GT and alkaline phosphatase (AP), as well as the
LDH/HBDH quo-tient, should always be checked by a competent physician. Anadrol 50 (representing all
oxymetholone-containing steroid products) is the only anabolic/androgenic steroid which was linked with liver
cancer.
The compound oxymetholone easily converts into estrogen. This causes signs of feminization (e.g.
gynecomastia) and the already -mentioned water retention which in turn requires the intake of antiestrogens
(e.g. Nolvadex and Proviron) and an increased use of diuretics (e.g. Lasix) before a competition. The
increased water retention, in addition to the aesthetical problems, can be further detrimental since it may
cause high blood pressure. In extreme cases the intake of an anti-hypertensive drug, e.g. Catapresan, may be
necessary. Oxymetholone doesn't convert to DHT. However, it is a potent androgen. Bodybuilders who
experience severe steroid acne caused by Anadrol can get this problem under control by using the
prescription drug Accutane.
Other possible side effects may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach aches, lack of appetite,
insomnia, and diarrhea. The athlete can expect a feeling of "general indisposition" with the in-take of Anadrol
which is completely in contrast to Dianabol which conveys a "sense of well-being". The increased
aggressiveness is caused by the resulting high level of androgen and occurs mostly when large quantities of
testosterone are "shot" simulta-neously with the Anadrol. The body's own production of testoster-one is
considerably reduced since Anadrol has an inhibiting effect on the hypothalamus, which in turn completely
reduces or stops the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone). For this reason the intake of
testosterone-stimulating compounds such as HCG and Clomid is absolutely necessary to main-tain the
hormone production in the testes.
Anadrol 50 is not recommended for women since it causes many and, in part, irreversible virilizing symptoms
such as acne, clitorial hypertrophy, deep voice, increased hair growth on the legs, beard growth, missed
periods, increased libido, and hair loss. Anadrol is simply too strong for the female organism and accordingly,
it is poorly tolerated.

ANADUR- nandrolone hexyloxyphenylpropionate

Trade Names:

Anadurin 50 mg/ml; Xponei GR
Anadur is one of many steroids which contain the compound nandrolone. Although available in many countries
athletes do not use it often. Since its effect is similar to Deca-Durabolin's most people see no reason to take
Anadur. This product does, however, have a few characteristics which make it different from "Deca" and therefore
an interesting drug. Anadur is the longest lasting nandrolone. After only one injection the substance
remains active in the body for four weeks. Anadur, above all, has an anabolic effect which stimu-lates the
protein synthesis and, as with all nandrolones, requires a high protein intake. Anadur is not a steroid to be
used to achieve rapid gains in weight and strength but is a classic, basic anabolic steroid which can be stored
in the body, allowing a slow but solid muscle gain and an even strength gain. Athletes using Anadur report
less water reten-tion than with Deca. For this reason some bodybuilders prefer Anadur when preparing for a
competition. It must be observed, however, that in this phase usage of Anadur should be combined with
stronger androgenic steroids such as Parabolan or Testosterone propionate. Because of its slow, even, and
compatible effect it is mostly used during steroid treatments which last for several months. For the most part,
progress made during this period usually remains after discontinuing the product. When taking 50-100 mg
every 10 days some women normally show no virilization symptoms but it has been shown that only a few
weeks of such use will result in some irreversible virilization for some women. They like to combine Anadur
with Winstrol tablets, Primobolan S-tablets, or Oxandrolone. Men do not have to take antiestrogens since
Anadur aromatizes only lightly and only in rare cases does it lead to gynecomastia.
The side effects of Anadur are even less than those of Deca-Durabolin. Liver damage can be excluded so that
it can even be taken by people with liver disease. Virilization symptoms such as acne, hoarseness, deep
voice, hirsutism, and increase in libido only occur, if at all, in very sensitive women. A higher blood pressure,
due to a low water and salt retention, cannot be excluded but rarely occurs. The use of testosteronestimulating
compounds such as HCG or Clomid is not necessary since Anadur influences the
hypothalamohypophysial tes-ticular axis only slightly so that the endogenous testosterone pro-duction is not
7
significantly reduced and the risk of a spermatogenic inhibition is minimal. Anadur is a very compatible steroid
which improves the general condition and well-being of its user. Some ath-letes mention an improved
psychological well being. As for the dos-age, good results can be obtained with 200 mg every 10 days. On the
U.S. black market, one large ampule costs approx. $13 to $15. A U.S pharmaceutical product does not exist.
The Bel-gian and Turkish Anadur, the French Anador, and the Greek version Anadurin are individually packed
and costs approx. $10-15 per 50 mg/ampule on the black market. Insufficient availability on the black market
forces athletes to use the more readily available Deca- Durabolin. Unlike Deca, there are no fakes of Anadur.

ANAPOLAN
Anapolon has been the strongest, oral steroidal compound, which is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone,
which has been currently only available for institutional use in Mexico. Clinically, Anapolon had been often
prescribed in efforts to treat anemias that had been caused by deficient red cell production. The androgenic
and high anabolic properties of Anapolon have been substandard of Testosterone, which had been perinined
this compound to have also been a dramatic muscle-building product. Many athletes had claimed the strength
and weight increases had been very substantial within is a relatively short period of time. This characteristic
had allowed the compound of Anapolon to be a very popular choice of oral steroidal compounds amongst
many athletes, primarily those of the male gender. Most athletes had frequently experienced a general weight
increase of approximately 10 to 15 lbs or more, within two weeks with the administration of this compound.
This of course, had been largely attributed to the tremendous amount of water retention which had
immediately increased the muscle diameters, which in turn, had permitted a rapid increased size appearance.
Consequently, this retained amount of water in the muscle cells and joints had also additionally provided a
smooth appearance, as the size increase had been quantitative, not qualitative. An advantageous effect of the
water retention however, had been the ability to eliminate, or having soothed associated joint problems, which
had been due to this side effect's subsequent lubricating quality. This had often been appreciated by most
athletes, as this characteristic had frequently allowed for intense workouts, which had often been previously
somewhat restricted, due to associated aggravated pain in the joints.
The Anapolon oral steroidal compound had further increased the number of red blood cells, which in turn, had
enabled the muscles to absorb more oxygen. This had generally resulted in the muscle being able to have
endured more physical stress, which had been due to the significant increase in blood volume. A "pump" effect
had often been experienced when training particular muscles, and had even become somewhat painful to the
extent, that the performed exercise had frequently been required to have been abandoned, in order to have
alleviated this sensation.
However, this perception of increased strength and power had commonly been desired by all athletes who had
practiced the self-administration of this compound, as this sensation had usually been indicative that the
compound of Anapolon had indeed, been performing to it's full capacity. Several athletes had also claimed that
another distinguishing trait of Anapolon, had been the increased training duration's, as this compound had
been able to have stimulated the regeneration of the body, which often had enabled further muscle-building
progress, and had stalled the possibility of overtraining.
However, although the substance of Anapolon had been powerful, it unfortunately, also had imposed the
highest threat for serious adverse reactions out of any oral or injectable steroids compounds. A few athletes
had experienced excessive water retention which had sometimes resulted in high blood pressure. Anapolon
had very high DHT levels, and had been very toxic to the liver, due to the characteristics of being C-17
alphaallrylated steroid.
Although the Anapolon steroidal compound had been known for quick strength and mass gains, it's utilization
had not been suitable for novices, and had only been used by some athletes after a certain development had
been achieved; or consequently, the prior us of weaker steroid compounds had been experienced.

ANDRIOL- testosterone undecanoate
Substance: testosterone undecanoate
Trade Names:
Andriol 40 mg caps.; Organon CH, NL, PL, G, A, PT HU, ********; Ravasin
Androxon 40 mg caps.; Organon NO, Brazil
Panteston 40 mg caps.; Organon FI, FR
Restandol 40 mg caps.; Organon DK, GB, GR
Undestor 40 mg caps.; Organon B, 5, BG, CZ
Virigen 40 mg caps.; Organon TK
Andriol is a revolutionary steroid because, besides methyltestosterone, it is the only effective oral testosterone
compound. Testosterone itself, if taken orally, is ineffective since it is reabsorbed through the portal vein (1)
and immediately deactivated by the liver. The substance testosterone undecanoate contained in Andriol,
however, is reabsorbed from the intestine through the lymphatic system, thus bypassing the liver and
becoming effective. The liver function is not affected by this. Andriol aromatizes only minimally, meaning that
only a very small part of the substance can be converted into estrogen, since the dihydrotestosterone does not
aromatize. The users of Andriol therefore do not experience feminization symptoms such as gynecomastia or
increased body fat. Andriol's non-aromatizing quality consists of the fact that the body's own hormone
production is only affected after a long-term administration of very high dosages. Andriol should be the perfect
steroid; however, this is not the case.
The disadvantage of Andriol is that it only becomes effective if taken in high doses. Even if a dose of 200 mg
of Andriol/day is taken, the testosterone level in the blood is still too low for a bodybuilder to gain strength and
muscle growth. The capsules, therefore, are effective for only a few hours so that 6-7 capsules, that is 240-
280 mg (minimum), must be taken daily to achieve good results comparable to those of injectable compounds.
This, however, puts the athlete in a dosage range which begins to influence the hormone production and the
compound now more readily converts into estrogen. Such a dose can also manifest itself in a higher retention
of sodium and water. This is one factor which competing athletes must consider. Another disadvantage is
Andriol's high price. A package with 60 capsules costs approximately $80 and the minimum daily dose of 6-7
capsules thus costs almost $8. For those athletes who would like to try Andriol 8 capsules (320 mg daily)
should be taken. The capsules should be taken three times daily (approximately every 8 hours) after meals so
that the substance can be properly reabsorbed. However, even this high dosage does not guarantee
satisfactory results. Those of you who believe that you need even higher doses should then consider that it
might be more sensible to switch to the injectable testosterone. The Andriol/ Oxandrolone stack gives athletes
who do not yet have much experience with steroids a fairly large strength increase and also often substantial
muscle growth. Andriol is quickly eliminated by the body it should also be considered for use before
competitions requiring doping tests. Women should avoid Andriol since the androgenic component-common
with testosterone-is also strongly developed in this compound. Andriol intake can occasionally lead to high
blood pressure, retention of fluids, acne, sexual overstimulation, and, in women, the well-known virilization
symptoms.
10
Andriol should be stored in a cool place (6 - 15 C), preferably in the refrigerator. Since the capsules are
extremely sensitive to heat they can easily melt into an undefinable shape if left in direct sunlight, e.g. in a car.
11
ANDRODERM
Androderm is a transdermal patch, designed to release testosterone over a 24-hour period, in a natural pattern
resembling that of a healthy young man. This product is being used primarily by older men who have reached
an age in which there body no longer produces sufficient amounts of testosterone ("Andropause"). Each patch
contains 12.2 gm of testosterone, but according to the paperwork only about 2.5 mg is dispersed in each 24-
hour application. Two patches are most commonly used, and are applied to the abdomen, back, thigh, or
upper arm. Athletes would no doubt find this dosage insufficient, and will likely avoid this product all together.
Quite a number of patches would have to be used for a strong effect, making it much easier to use an
injectable testosterone instead

ANDROSTANOLONE
Substance: androstanolone
Trade Names:

Apeton 5 mg, 25 mg tab.; Fujisawa. Japan
Apeton Depot 2%, 5% inj. solution,- Fujisawa. Japan
Gelovit 2.5% gel Berenguer Infall ES
Androstanolone is identical to the body's own dihydrotestosterone which, as we know, is formed by the peripheral
conversion of testosterone. Some therefore call Androstanolone a synthetic d1hydrotestosterone. This
steroid has a predominantly androgenic effect and, due to its structure, cannot be converted into estrogen. For
a fast buildup of power and muscle mass Androstanolone is of little value. It used to be the athlete's favorite
competition steroid since it helped to obtain a harder muscle through a lower fat content by increasing the
androgen level without aro-matizing. Numerous athletes used Androstanolone during work-outs for dopingtested
championships since the substance remains in the body for only a short time and the
testosterone/epitestosterone value is not influenced. Another positive characteristic is that the injectable
version is not liver-toxic. Today, however, Androstanolone is rarely used by athletes. One reason for this is
that almost all European and American compounds are no longer commercially available. The other reason is
that most athletes use the still readily available Masteron which has similar effects. Neither the original nor a
fake of Androstanolone is available on the black market.

Aratest500 (TESTOSTERONE PROPIONATE 50mg)
Aratest250 (TESTOSTERONE PROPIONATE 25mg)
ARATEST is a new Mexican veterinarian steroid that has been getting a lot of attention from steroid users
everywhere. There are three types: Aratest 2500, 500, and 250. Aratest 2500 is the most popular of the three
containing 200mg of enanthate and 50 mg propionate per ml. This mixture comes in a 10ml vial and is
manufactured by Lab Aranda. This new steroid makes a great mass builder when stacked with D-bol or
Anadrol and when stacked with Deca, Winstrol, Equipoise, etc.Ö it has the benefits of good strength gains with
low water retention. As a first time user you can easily gain 10-25lbs of good mass and has been compared to
the gains of Sustanon 250. As a matter of fact some users report that the Aratest is a better product and costs
much less! The black market prices range from $75-$100. It is a good idea to use Nolvadex, HCG, and Clomid
when using Aratest because of the testosterone, especially at higher dosages. Be careful when buying Aratest
on the black market because this steroid is new and is a good target to be faked. For more information on the
Aratest 500 and 250 please see Testosterone Propionate in the "Drug Profiles" section.

Remark: The substance Clenbuterol hydrochloride is also available in various other forms of administration,
including syrups, drops, liquids, dosing aerosols, injectable solutions, and granules. Since athletes usually
prefer tablets, manufacturers and trade names- offering this oral version are listed.
Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. It is not a steroid hormone but a beta-2-
symphatomimetic. Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong anticatabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate
at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells. For this
reason, numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase
and thus obtain maximum strength and muscle mass. A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinct fat-burning
effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it increases the body temperature slightly, forcing the
body to burn fat for this process. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of
anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously, since the protein processing is increased.
Athletes usually take 5-7 tablets, 100-140 mcg per day For women 80-100 mcg//day are usually sufficient, It is
important that the athlete begin by taking only one tablet on the first day and then increasing the dosage by
one tablet each of the following days until the desired maximum dosage is reached. The compound is usually
taken over a period of 8-10 weeks. Since Clenbuterol is not a hormone compound it has no side effects typical
of anabolic steroids. For this reason it is also liked by women. Possible side effects of Clenbuterol include
restlessness, palpitations, tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased per-spiration,
insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. Note that these side effects are of
a temporary nature and usually subside after 8-10 days, 70¢-$120 each.

Clomid is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. Since it is a synthetic estrogen it belongs, however, to the group
of sex hormones. In school medicine Clomid is normally used to trigger ovulation. Clomid also has a strong
influence on the hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis. It stimulates the hypo-physis to release more
gonadotropin so that a faster and higher release of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing
hormone) occurs. This results in an elevated endogenous (body's own) testosterone level. Clomid is especially
effective when the body's own testosterone production, due to the intake of anabolic/androgenic steroids, is
suppressed. In most cases Clomid can normalize the tes-tosterone level and the spermatogenesis (sperm
development) within 10- 14 days. For this reason Clomid is primarily taken after steroids are discontinued. At
this time it is extremely important to bring the testosterone production to a normal level as quickly as possible
so that the loss of strength and muscle mass is minimized. Even better results can be achieved if Clomid is
combined with HCG or when Clomid is used after the intake of HCG.
16
Paradoxically, although Clomid is a synthetic estrogen it also works as an antiestrogen. The reason is that
Clomid has only a very low estrogenic effect and thus the stronger estrogens which, for example, form during
the aromatization of steroids, are blocked at the receptors. These would include those that develop during the
aromatiz-ing of steroids. This does not prevent the steroids from aromatizing but the increased estrogen is
mostly deactivated since it cannot attach to the receptors. The increased water retention and the possible
signs of feminization can thus be reduced or even completely avoided. Since the antiestrogenic effect of
Clomid is lower than those found in Proviron, Nolvadex, and Teslac it is mainly taken as a testosterone
stimulant. Clomid is a medication that promotes the production of the body's own stimulating hormone,
gonadotropin, which in turn increases the testosterone level. It is, for example, administered to women as a
so-called antiestrogen to trigger ovulation ("ovulation stimulator").
Side effects of Clomid are very rare if reasonable dosages are taken. Possible side effects are climacteric hot
flashes and occasional visual disturbances which can manifest themselves in blurred vision, giving flickering or
flashing. Should visual disturbances occur, the manufacturer recommends discontinuing Clomid treatment.
Inad-equate liver functions cannot be excluded; however, they are very unlikely. In women enlargement of the
ovaries and abdominal pain can occur since Clomid stimulates the ovaries. When taking Clomid multiple
pregnancies are possible as well. As for the dosage, 50-100 mg/day (1 -2 tablets) seems to be sufficient. The
tablets are usually taken with fluids after meals. If several tablets are taken it is recommended that they be
administered in equal doses distributed through-out the day. The duration of intake has been rummored to not
be taken for longer thatn 10-14 days. This is incorrect. Clinical studies with male patients have shown clomid
to be used for up to a year or longer. Most athletes begin with 100 mg/day, taking one 50 mg tablet every
morning and evening after meals. After the fifth day the dosage is often reduced to only one 50 mg tablet per
day It is normally not necessary to take the compound for more than ten days in order to increase the
endogenous testosterone production. Clomid is relatively expensive. A package with 10 tablets costs approx.
$35 - 45 on the black market.

Cyclofenil is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. Cyclofenil works as an antiestrogen and, at the same
time, increases the body's own testosterone production. Since Cyclofenil itself is only a very weak and
mild estrogen it occupies, the estrogen receptors, and prevents the stronger estrogens from bonding
with the receptors thereby becoming active. As a matter of fact, this works so well that some athletes
take Cyclofenil during the steroid treatment in order to maintain a low estrogen level. The result is a
lower water retention produced by the steroids and less gynecomastia. The athlete has a harder
appearance, making this is a compound that can potentially be taken during the preparation for a
competition. Bodybuilders, however, use it less frequently since they prefer the more readily available
Nolvadex and Proviron compounds.
Based on our experience, the dosage lies be-tween 400 and 600 mg/day. Lower dosages usually do
not show satisfying results. Cyclofenil, for this purpose, is either used during steroid treatment, after
the treatment, before competitions with doping tests, or by "natural bodybuilders". Like HCG and
Clomid, Cyclofenil is ineffective in women since it has a positive influence on the male hormone
system. Even in men, the increased testosterone level attributed to the effect of Cyclofenil is not high
enough to speak of drastic improvements; however, strength gains, a slight gain in body weight, a
noticeable increase in energy, and a higher regeneration are possible. These results are noticeable
particularly in advanced athletes who have little or no experience with steroids. Cyclofenil needs a
response time of approximately one week before it becomes effective.
In a few cases athletes experience a light acne, increased sexual desire, and hot flashes. The first two
secondary symptoms are especially indicative that the compound is actually effective. After
discontinuance some athletes report a depressed mood and a slight decrease in physical strength.
Those who take Cyclofenil as an antiestrogen during steroid treatment could experience a rebound
effect when the compound is discontinued.
In the meantime, it is very difficult to find Cyclofenil and it is rarely found on the black market. The
Mexican Fertodur by Schering contains 16 tablets of 200 mg each which are welded into aluminum
foil with the name "Fertodur Tabletas" printed on top. Such a package costs $25-30 on the black

Cytadren is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. Cytadren inhibits the buildup of androgens, estrogens,
and the suprarenal cortical hormones (glucocorticoids and mineralocor-ticoids). Cytadren has a highly
antiestrogenic effect since, on the one hand, it inhibits the body's own estrogen production and, on the
other hand, it obviates the conversion of androgens into estrogens. This is especially encouraging since
it helps to keep the estrogen level of bodybuilders low. The second highly interesting point is that
Cytadren prohibits the buildup of adrenocortical hormones. It obviates the production of endogenous
cortisone like no other compound by inhibiting the conversion of cholesterol into cortisone. For this
reason, Cytadren, in school medicine, is used for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, a hyperfunction
of the adrenal glands which causes the body to overproduce cortisone. Consequently, it reduces the
cortisone level, which has several advantages for the athlete. Cortisone is a cata-bolic hormone and
catabolic is the exact opposite of anabolic. Cortisone prevents the protein synthesis in the muscle cell,
resulting in a muscular atrophy by breaking down amino acids in the muscle cell.
The human body constantly releases cortisone and reacts to stress situations such as intense training
by increasing its cortisone re-lease. Natural bodybuilders, therefore, after a short time, experience a
stagnation in their development since the release of the body's cortisone is higher than the anabolic
effect of working out. The more advanced the athlete and the harder his workout, the more his cortisone
level will increase.
If the release of cortisone can be successfully obviated or at least considerably reduced the ratio of
anabolic hormones to catabolic hormones in the body shifts in favor of the former. This results in an
increase in muscle mass and body strength. And Cytadren achieves exactly these results; however,
there is one problem. Cytadren reduces the cortisone level so effectively that the body tries to balance
this by hypophysially producing more ACTH (adenocorticotropic hormone), thus stimulating the
secretion of cortisone by the adrenal glands. Thus in school medicine, when treating Cushing's
syndrome, a low dose of oral hydrocortisone is used to prevent the hypophysis from producing ACTH.
The dose is so low that the cortisone level in the blood does not rise substantially. And this is exactly
the problem. Cytadren reduces the cortisone level which the body balances by producing ACTH, thus
neutralizing the effect of Cytadren. If exogenous hydrocortisone is taken no ACTH is produced;
however, this also reduces the effect of Cytadren. It is therefore necessary to find an administration
19
schedule that prevents or delays the body's own production of ACTH. Since the body does not show
abrupt reactions when the cortisone level is lowered by the intake of Cytadren, the compound must be
taken over several days before the body begins reacting. If Cytadren is only taken for a period of two
days and then discontinued for two entire days, it seems logical that the body will not have enough time
to react accordingly, thus interrupting the production of ACTH in the hypophysis. Similar to Clenbuterol,
an alternating administration schedule with two days of administration and two days of abstinence is
created. Another problem needs to be solved since Cytadren, as mentioned earlier, inhibits the body's
own production of androgen. Cytadren, therefore, should not be used by natural bodybuilders. The
solution to this problem is to take a long-term effective testosterone such as Testosterone enanthate
simultaneously. Testoviron Depot 250, for example, can be considered as one such possible
compound.
As for the question of dosage, we have arrived at a very interesting point. In school medicine the
dosage for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome is between 2 and 7 tablets per day. Since not enough
ath-letes~ have used this compound so far, we do not have enough ex-perimental data. Due to the fact
that the cortisone level of athletes is not as high as in persons who suffer from a hyperfunction of the
adrenal glands, it is probable that lower dosages are sufficient. A dose of mor than 250mg/day is not
recommended and should be taken very carefully. A good example of dose is: half a tab 125mg in the
morning and 62.5mg (quarter tab) every six hours. Make sure to not abruptly discontinure as cortisol
rebound may occur. The tablets are always taken indi-vidually, in regular intervals throughout the day,
and taken best during meals. How long should it be taken? This ques-tion is difficult to answer but,
considering that the body can-some-times increase the production of ACTH, it is advised that the compound
is not used longer than 4-6 weeks. (We must also consider potential side effects, which we will
discuss in a minute.) An-other interesting aspect: Cytadren is (as of yet) not on any doping list. We
have heard from reliable informants that a combina-tion of Cytadren, growth hormones, and a low
quantity of injectable testosterone is the new hit among athletes of any field, since it allows the athlete
to pass any doping test.
Thus the side effects of Cytadren need to be looked at and they are, unfortunately, numerous and
sometimes very severe. The most common side effects are fatigue and dizziness. Lack of concentration,
restlessness, depression, apathy, and sleeping disorder are less common but possible.
Even rarer and mostly depending on the doses are nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal pain, diar-rhea,
and headaches. A possible rash and the already-mentioned fatigue and dizziness are usually initial
symptoms and these can be minimized by taking slowly increasing dosages, or they may simply
disappear. The package insert of Ciba-Geigy GmbH Ger-many also states that in some cases there is
an inadequate thy-roid function which requires treatment. It is therefore recom-mended that the thyroid
gland be supervised by a physician dur-ing intake of Cytadren. Another problem that can occur is liver
disease. Cases of reduced counts of the white blood cells, the blood platelets, and even of all blood
cells have been reported. Those who plan to try Cytadren should carefully read the package in-sert. It
has been our experience that athletes, due to the reduced cortisone level, complain about joint pain and
are also exposed to a higher risk of getting injured. There is no question that Cytadren is effective when
taken according to the two-day alternating ad-ministration schedule; however, the athlete should
carefully con-sider the cost/benefit factor prior to taking the compound. Cytadren is in U.S. pharmacies
20
only available by prescription. A package with 100 tablets of 250 mg each costs $190.-, so that
Cytadren is not a budget-priced compound. Each package contains 10 push-through strips of 10 tablets
each. The tablets are indented on one side with an imprinted "G" on both the right and left of the
breakage line. On the other side of the tablet the letters "CG" are punched in. Cytadren is rarely found
on the black market.

Cytomel is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid but a thyroid hor-mone. As a substance it contains
synthetically manufactured liothyronine sodium which resembles the natural thyroid hormone tricodidethyronine
(L-T3). The thyroid of a healthy person usually produces two hormones, the better known Lthyroxine
(L-T4) and the aforementioned L-triiodine-thyronine (L-T3). Since Cytomel is the synthetic
equivalent of the latter hormone, it causes the same processes in the body as if the thyroid were to
produce more of the hormone. It is interesting to note that L-T3 is clearly the stronger and more
effective of these two hormones. This makes Cytomel more effective than the commercially available LT4
compounds such as L-thyroxine or Synthroid. L-T3 has proven to be 4-5 times more biologically
active and to take effect more quickly than L-thyroxine (L-T4)." In school medicine Cytomel is used to
22
treat thyroid insufficiency (hypothyroidism). Among other secondary symptoms are obesity, metabolic
disorders, and fatigue. Bodybuilders take advantage of these characteristics and stimulate their
metabolism by taking Cytomel, which causes a faster conver-sion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Bodybuilders, of course, are especially interested in an increased lipolysis, which means in-creased fat
burning. Competing bodybuilders, in particular, use Cytomel during the weeks before a championship
since it helps to maintain an extremely low fat content, without necessitating a hunger diet. Athletes
who use low dosages of Cytomel report that by the simultaneous intake of steroids, the steroids
become mote effective, most likely as the result of the faster conversion of protein.
To a great extent several bodybuilders who are pictured in "muscle magazines" and display a hard and
de-fined look in photos, eat fast food and iron this out by taking Cytomel. The over stimulated thyroid
burns calories like a blast furnace. Nowadays, instead of Cytomel, athletes use Clenbuterol which is
becoming more and more popular. Those who combine these two compounds will burn an enormous
amount of fat. Cytomel is also popular among female bodybuilders. Since women generally have slower
metabolisms than men, it is extremely difficult for them to obtain the right form for a competition given
today's standards. A drastic reduc-tion of food and calories below the 1000 caloric/day mark can often
be avoided by taking Cytomel. Women, no doubt, are more prone to side effects than men but usually
get along well with 50 mcg/day. A short-term intake of Cytomel in a reasonable dosage is certainly
"healthier" than an extreme hunger diet.
As for the dosage, one should be very careful since Cytomel is a very strong and highly effective thyroid
hormone. It is extremely impor-tant that one begins with a low dosage, increasing it slowly and evenly
over the course of several days. Most athletes begin by tak-ing one 25-mcg tablet per day and
increasing this dosage every three to four days by one additional tablet. A dose higher than 100-mcg/
day is not necessary and not advisable. It is not recommended that the daily dose be taken all at once
but broken down into three smaller individual doses so that they become more effective. It is also
impor-tant that Cytomel not be taken for more than six weeks. At least two months of abstinence from
the drug needs to follow. Those who take high dosages of Cytomel over a long period of time are at risk
of developing a chronic thyroid insufficiency. As a consequence, the athlete might be forced to take
thyroid medication for the rest of his life. It is also important that the dosage is reduced slowly and
evenly by taking fewer tablets and -not be ended abruptly. Those who plan to take Cytomel should first
consult a physician in order to be sure that no thyroid hyperfunction exists.
Possible side effects are: heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agita-tion,
shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, ex-cessive perspiration, diarrhea, weight loss,
psychic disorders, etc., as well as symptoms of hypersensitivity." Our experience is that most symptoms
consist of trembling of hands, nausea, headaches, high perspiration, and increased heartbeat. These
negative side effects can often be eliminated by temporarily reducing the daily dosage. Those who use
Cytomel over several weeks will experience a decrease in muscle mass. This can be avoided or
delayed by simultaneously taking steroids. For the most part, since Cytomel also metabolizes protein,
the athlete must eat a diet rich in protein. L-T3 can usually be found quite easily. 100 tablets of 0.05 mg
each cost approx. $40. It is unlikely that there will be fakes.

Danocrine is an antigonadotropin. In school medicine it is used to treat hormone-related disorders. One
such disorder, for example, is the hormone-related breast enlargement in men, better known as
gynecomastia. Bodybuilders can use Danocrine to minimize*possible feminization caused by the
aromatizing of steroids. It is our experience that the daily dose should be around 400 mg. Danocrine
has a mild androgenic effect but no anabolic effect. The possible side effects such as virilization
symptoms, hot flashes, perspiration, in-creased libido, increased liver values, and high blood pressure
through retention of fluids are highly dependent on the dose and they usually decrease again later. It is
difficult to find Danocrine on the black market since it is rarely used by athletes. The official price for
100 capsules of 200 mg each is $330. Fakes are not known at this time.

Deca-Durabolin is a brand name of Organon Company, the manufacturer of the drug containing the
substance nandrolone decanoate. Although nandrolone decanoate is still contained in many generic
compounds, almost every athlete connects this substance with Deca--Durabolin. Most common are the
administrations of 5 0 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml. Deca-Durabolin is the most widespread and most
commonly used injectable steroid. Deca's large popularity can be attributed to its numerous possible
applications and, for its mostly positive results. Deca-Durabolin causes the muscle cell to store more
nitrogen than it releases so that a positive nitrogen balance is achieved. A positive nitrogen balance is
synonymous with muscle growth since the muscle cell, in this phase, assimilates (accumulates) a larger
amount of pro-tein than usual. The same manufacturer, however, points out on the package insert that
25
a positive nitrogen balance and the protein building effect that accompany it will occur only if enough
calories and proteins are supplied. One should know this since, otherwise, satisfying results with Deca
cannot be obtained. The highly anabolic effect of Deca-Durabolin is linked to a moderately androgenic
component, so that a good gain in muscle mass and strength is obtained. At the same time, most
athletes notice considerable water retention which, no doubt, is not as distinct as that with injectable
testosterones but which in high doses can also cause a smooth and watery appearance. Since Deca
also stores more water in the connective tissues, it can temporarily case or even cure existing pain in
joints. This is especially good for those athletes who complain about pain in the shoulder, elbow, and
knee; they can often enjoy pain-free workouts during treatment with Deca-Durabolin. Athletes use
Deca, depending on their needs, for muscle buildup and in preparation for a competition.
Deca is suitable, even above average, to develop muscle mass since it promotes the protein synthesis
and simultaneously leads to water retention. The optimal dose for this purpose lies between 200 and
600 mg/week. Scientific research has shown that best results can be obtained by the intake of 2-
mg/pound body weight. Those who take a dose of less than 200 mg/week will usually feel only a very
light anabolic effect which, however, increases with a higher dosage. Most male athletes experience
good re-sults by taking 400 mg/week. Steroid novices usually need only 200 mg/week. Deca works very
well for muscle buildup when combined with Dianabol and Testosterone. The famous Dianabol/ Deca
stack results in a a fast and strong gain in muscle mass. Most athletes usually take 15-40 mg
Dianabol/day and 200-400 mg Deca/week. Even faster results can be achieved with 400 mg
Deca/week and 500 mg 5ustanon 250/week. Athletes report an enormous gain in strength and muscle
mass when taking 400 mg Deca/week, 500 mg Sustanon 250/week, and 30 mg Dianabol/day. Deca is
a good basic steroid which, for muscle buildup, can be combined with many other steroids.
A conversion into estrogen, that means an aromatizing process, is possible with Deca-Durabolin but
occurs at a lower rate than ex: testosterone. During competitions with doping tests Deca must not be
taken since the metabo-lites in the body can be proven in a urine analysis up to 18 months later. The
risk of potential water retention and aromatizing to estrogen can be successfully prevented by
combining the use of Proviron with Nolvadex. A preparatory stack often observed in competing athletes
includes 400 mg/week Deca-Durabolin, 50 mg/day Winstrol, 228 mg/week Parabolan, and 25 mg/day
Oxandrolone.
Although the side effects with Deca are relatively low with dosages of 400 mg/week, androgenic-caused
side effects can occur. Most problems manifest themselves in high blood pressure and a pro-longed
time for blood clotting, which can cause frequent nasal bleed-ing and prolonged bleeding of cuts, as
well as increased production of the sebaceous gland and occasional acne. Some athletes also report
headaches and sexual overstimulation. When very high dos-ages are taken over a prolonged period,
spermatogenesis can be inhibited in men, i.e. the testes produce less testosterone. The reason is that
Deca-Durabolin, like almost all steroids, inhibits the release of gonadotropins from the hypophysis.
Women with a dosage of up to 100 mg/week usually experience no major problems with Deca. At
higher dosages androgenic-caused virilization symptoms can occur, including deep voice (irreversible),
increased growth of body hair, acne, increased libido, and possibly clitorihypertrophy. Women who
26
experience disturbance even at a weekly dose of only 50 mg/week of Deca-Durabolin, are often better
off taking the earlier mentioned and faster-acting Durabolin. Unlike the long-acting Deca, when
Durabolin is administered once or twice weekly in a dosage of 50 mg, no concentration of undesired
amounts of androgens occur. Since most female athletes get on well with Deca-Durabolin a dose of
Deca 50 mg +/week is usually combined with Oxandrolone 10 mg +/day Both compounds, when taken
in a low dosage, are only slightly androgenic so that masculinizing side effects only rarely occur. Deca,
through its increased protein synthesis, also leads to a net muscle gain and Oxandrolone, based on the
increased phosphocreatine synthesis, leads to a measurable strength gain with very low water
retention. Other variations of administration used by female athletes are Deca and Winstrol tablets, as
well as Deca and Primobolan S-tablets.
A great disadvantage of Deca-Durabolin is its high price. In the U.S. a 50 mg ampule costs approx. $10
- 12. Deca-Durabolin in strengths of 200 mg/2 ml ampules; usually cost around $30 per ampule.
Because of its great popularity and the high demand that goes along with it, there are many fakes of
Deca-Durabolin

"Dianabol (1 7-alpha-methyl-1 7beta-hydroxil-androsta-1.4dien-3-on) is an orally applicable steroid with
a great effect on the protein metabolism. The effect of Dianabol promotes the protein synthesis, thus it
supports the buildup of protein. This effect manifests itself in a positive nitrogen balance and an
improved well-being. Dianabol has a very strong anabolic and androgenic effect which manifests itself
in an enormous buildup of strength and muscle mass in its users. Dianabol is simply a "mass steroid"
which works quickly and reliably. A weight gain of 2 - 4 pounds per week in the first six weeks is normal
with Dianabol. The additional body weight consists of a true increase in tissue (hyper-trophy of muscle
fibers) and, in particular, in a noticeable retention of fluids. Dianabol aromatizes easily so that it is not a
very good drug when one works out for a competition. Excessive water retention and aromatizing can
be avoided in most cases by simultaneously taking Nolvadex and Proviron so that some athletes are
able to use Dianabol until three to four days before a competition. An effective daily dose for athletes is
around 15-40 mg/day. The dosage of Dianabol taken by the athlete should always be coordinated with
his individual goals. Steroid novices do not need more than 15-20 mg of Dianabol per day since this
29
dose is sufficient to achieve exceptional results over a period of 8-10 weeks. When the effect begins to
slow down in this group after about eight weeks and the athlete wants to continue his treatment, the
dosage of Dianabol should not be increased but an injectable steroid such as Deca-Durabolin in a
dosage of 200 mg/week or Primobolan in a dosage of 200 mg/week should be used in addition to the
Dianabol dose; or he may switch to one of the two above-mentioned compounds. The use of
testosterone is not recommended at this stage as the athlete should leave some free play for later. For
those either impatient or more advanced, a stack of Dianabol 20-30 mg/day and Deca-Durabolin 200-
400 mg/day achieves miracles. Those who are more interested in strength and less in body mass can
combine Dianabol with either Oxandrolone or Winstrol tablets. The additional intake of an injectable
steroid does, however, clearly show the best results. To build up mass and strength, Sustanon or
Testosterone enanthate at 250-mg+/week and/ or Deca-Durabolin 200 at mg +/week are suitable. To
prepare, for a competition, Dianabol has only limited use since it causes distinct water retention in many
athletes and due to its high conversion rate into estrogen it complicates the athlete's fat breakdown.
Those of you without this problem or who are able to control it by taking Nolvadex or Proviron, in this
phase should use Dianabol together with the proven Parabolan, Winstrol Depot, Masteron,
Oxandrolone, etc.
Since Dianabol's half-life time is only 3.2 - 4.5 hours (1) application at least twice a day is necessary to
achieve a somewhat even concen-tration of the substance in the blood. It is recommended that the
tablets be taken during meals so that possible gastrointestinal pains can be avoided. Dianabol reaches
the blood after 1-3 hours. A simple application of only 10 mg results in a 5-fold increase in the average
testosterone concentration in the male.Women should not use Dianabol because, due to its distinct
androgenic component, considerable virilization symptoms can occur. Although Dianabol has many
potential side effects, they are rare with a dosage of up to 20 mg/day. Since Dianabol is I 7-alpha alkylated
it causes a considerable strain on the liver. In high dosages and over a longer period of time,
Dianabol is liver-toxic. Even a dosage of only 10 mg/day can increase the liver values; after
discontinuance of the drug, however, the values return to normal. Since Dianabol quickly increases the
body weight due to high water retention, a high blood pressure and a faster heartbeat can occur,
sometimes requiring the intake of an antihypertensive drug such as Catapresan. Additive intake of
Nolvadex and Proviron might be necessary as well, since Dianabol strongly converts into estrogens and
in some athletes causes gynecomastia ("***** tits") or worsens an already existing condition. Because
of the strongly androgenic component and the conversion into dihydrotestosterone, Dianabol, in some
athletes, can trigger a serious acne vulgaris on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders since the
sebaceous gland function is stimulated. If a hereditary predisposition exists Dianabol can also
accelerate a possible hair loss which again can be explained by the high conversion of the substance
into dihydrotestosterone. Another disadvantage is that, after discontinuance of the compound, a
considerable loss of strength and mass often occurs since the water stored during the intake is again
excreted by the body. In high dosages of 5 0 mg +/day aggressive behavior in the user can occasionally
be observed which, if it only refers to his workout, can be an advantage. In order toavoid uncontrolled
actions, those who have a tendency to easily lose, their temper should be aware of this characteristic
when taking a high D-bol dosage. Despite all of these possible symptoms Dianabol instills in most
athletes a "sense of well-being anabolic" which improves the mood and appetite and in many users,
30
together with the obtained results, leads to an improved level of consciousness and a higher selfconfidence.

DNP- : (2,4-Dinitrophenol)
Substance: (2,4-Dinitrophenol)
Trade Names:
The substance; 2, 4-Dinitrophenol has many other brand names such as, 1 Hydroxy-2,4-dinitrophenol,
Solfo Black, Nitrophen, Aldifen, and Chemox are just a few and is among many things, a metabolic
stimulant. That is it's popularity here in our world, it burns fat like no other. Let me just tell you of it's
other uses before I continue. First, it is a toxic dye, chemically related to Trinitrophenol (Picric Acid),
second, it is found in insecticides, wood preservatives, herbicides, explosives, and is also a hazardous
material. Third, it is used in science to couple or attach to DNA molecules. All of this should tell you that
it is not a run-of-the-mill metabolic stimulant, like Clenbuterol or Triacana or Ephedrine or any other for
that matter. Here is DNP's tox faq's from the international chemical safety cards to you give an idea of
what it is considered to be; Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of
fire and explosion. DO NOT expose to friction or shock. MAY BE ABSORBED! Redness. Roughness.
Yellow staining on the skin. PHYSICAL STATE; APPEARANCE: YELLOW CRYSTALS ROUTES OF
EXPOSURE: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, through the skin and by
ingestion. PHYSICAL DANGERS: Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.
INHALATION RISK: Evaporation at 20C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can,
however, be reached quickly. CHEMICAL DANGERS: May explosively decompose on shock, friction,
or concussion. May explode on heating. Shock-sensitive compounds are formed with alkalis, ammonia
and most metals. The substance decomposes on heating producing toxic gases including nitrogen
oxides. EFFECT OF SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE: The substance may cause effects on metabolism,
resulting in very high body temperature. Exposure may result in death. EFFECTS OF LONG TERM OR
REPEATED EXPOSURE: Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis. The
substance may have effects on the peripheral nervous system. The substance may have effects on the
eyes, resulting in cataracts. Boiling point: sublimes C, Melting point: 112C, Relative density (water = 1):
1.68. Solubility in water, g/100 ml at 54.5C: 0.14. Relative vapor density (air = 1): 6.36. This product is
handled and shipped in a 15% solution of water, making it a paste, so that it will not explode due to
shock or friction.
DNP is an uncoupling agent that inhibits the flow of electrons and the pumping of H+ ions for ATP
synthesis. Fifty years ago it was used for weight loss, however, in 1938 the FDA removed it from the
counter, as it caused cataracts and even sometimes death. If electron transport does not produce ATP,
then much more sugar must be metabolized for energy needs. Very low production of ATP would be
lethal. In oxidative phosphorylation, the flow of electrons from NADH (the reduced form of NAD+,
oxidized from NAD. This enzyme is important in accepting electrons in the course of metabolic
reactions. When NAD+ gives up it's electron, it is converted to it's reduced form NADH) and FADH2
(the reduced form of FAD) to oxygen results in the pumping of H+ from the matrix to the inner
membrane space of the mitochondria. This gradient of H+ can produce ATP by flowing through ATP
32
synthetase in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Dinitrophenol disrupts the H+ gradient reducing ATP
synthesis. Under these conditions, much of the food that we eat could not be used for ATP synthesis
and we lose weight. However, too much inhibitor and we could make too little ATP for life. The
difference between weight loss and death is only a small concentration change in dinitrophenol, making
the drug dangerous. Simply put, this means that while eating your normal diet, you will have
somewhere between 20% and 40% reduction of calories.
You may now be wondering just what kind of dose would be effective, but not harmful. A dose of
2mg/kg/day (or two mgs per kg of body weight per day) would be an effective dose, causing the loss of
about 5 to 10 pounds in a 10 to 14 day period, maybe less. So, a person weighing 200 lbs would weigh
about 91 kgs, so 2mgs per kg of body weight would be the equivalent of 182 mgs of DNP per day, but
since it typically comes in 200 mg capsules, you would take one cap per day. Since DNP has this
inhibiting effect, glycolosis is inhibited as well, causing a diabetic effect due to the conversion of glucose
without insulin, so you may have heard that people take insulin with DNP. This will counter act the
symptoms of lethargy and lack of energy due to DNP's use.
Finding DNP, this may be a little difficult as there are only two manufacturers of it. Sigma and
Springfield scientific, though they do not generally sell to the public, it is still available. If you cannot find
someone with capsules, you may try to get some bulk (somewhere around $20.00 - $30.00 per lb I
think), but since this is considered a hazardous material, it cannot be conveniently or inconspicuously
shipped (which for consumption is a felony), however, it is possible. However, to get use of the bulk/raw
form, you will need to make your own capsules, which is a meticulous process.

Durabolin is very similar to the popular Deca-Durabolin. Durabolin must be injected frequently and in
regular inter-vals. The substance nandrolone-phenylpropionate quickly gets into the blood, where it
remains active for two to three days. Athletes who hope for optimal results inject Durabolin every third
day, or even every two days. The dosage is around 50-100 mg per injec-tion, or a total of 150-300
mg/week. Those who have access to the 50 mg version should take advantage of it since it is less
expensive than the 25 mg version, which is normally more easily available. in addition, the 1-2 ml
injections are more pleasant than the 2-4 ml. Durabolin has a distinct anabolic effect which assists the
protein synthesis and allows the protein to be stored in the muscle cell in large amounts. This is
combined with a moderate androgenic com-ponent which stimulates the athlete's regeneration and
helps main-tain the muscle mass during a diet. It shows that Durabolin stores much less water in the
body than Deca-Durabolin. For this reason, Durabolin is more suitable for a preparation for a
competition while Deca should be given preference for the buildup of strength and muscle mass.
Durabolin, however, can be used for this purpose as well. The gains are fewer and slower than with
Deca but of a higher quality and remain, for the most part, after discontinuing the com-pound. A stack
34
suitable for this purpose would be, e.g. 56 mg Durabolin every 2 days, 50 mg Testosterone propionate
every days, and 20 mg Winstrol tablets every day.
The side effects of Durabolin are few. Water retention, high blood pressure, an el-evated estrogen level,
and virilization symptoms occur less often with Durabolin than with Deca-Durabolin. Female athletes
therefore take Durabolin in weekly intervals since, due to its short duration of effect, no undesirable
concentration of androgen takes place. They achieve good results with 50 mg Durabolin/week, 50 mg
Testosterone propionate every 8 -10 days, and 8-10 mg Winstrol/day, or 10 mg Oxandrolone/day.
Three to four day intervals between the relative injections are to be observed. Durabolin is one of the
safest non-toxic steroids offering satisfactory results. Durabolin has no negative effect on the liver
function so it can even be taken in cases of liver disease. Side effects occur only in rare cases and in
persons who are extremely sensitive. Virilization symptoms in women such as huskiness, deep voice,
hirsutism, acne, and increased libido are possible but occur only rarely if reasonable dosages are taken
at reasonable intervals. Men usually experience no symptoms with Durabolin. Since the release of
gonadotropins in the hypophysis is inhibited, there is a chance that the body's own testosterone
production in a male athlete will be lower when the compound is taken over a prolonged time and in
excessive doses.
The main disadvantages of Durabolin, for most athletes, consist of its poor availability on the black
market, the fact that frequent in-jections are needed, and the high cost, three ampules of 25 mg each,
costs approx. $24-36- on the black market. American Durabolin is available in 25 mg/ml, 5 ml vials, and
50 mg/ml in 2 vials.

Along with Anadur, Deca-Durabolin, and Durabolin, this is another steroid containing the substance
nandrolone. Dynabolon is a favorite among athletes since it brings good results with few side effects.
Although it is often compared to "Deca", its effect is mg per mg comparable or slightly less. The reason
is that Dynabolon is slightly androgenic with an anabolic effect, thus it strongly promotes the protein
synthesis. The increased androgenic component helps the athlete achieve a good strength increase
and an accelerated regeneration. Those who have had good results with Deca will usually respond
even better to Dynabolon. Athletes re-port a distinct, quickly effective, solid gain in muscles, which goes
hand in hand with a significant gain in strength. The increase in body weight and the improved strength
are the result of the water retention in tissues and joints. Dynabolon does not strongly aromatize in
dosages below 4 ml/week. Dynabolon is effective for 1-2 weeks, thus requiring more frequent injections
than Deca. Bodybuilders who work with this compound usually inject it twice a week. The minimum
dosage is 2ml/week. A weekly dosage of 4 ml (equal to 322 mg) is usually sufficient for most athletes to
achieve satisfactory results. This requires the injection of 2 ml (equal to 161 mg or 2 ampules) twice
weekly. Higher dosages would certainly bring even better gains but often go hand in hand with distinct
water retention. Such dosages also aromatize so strongly that antiestrogens must be taken to main-tain
the quality of the muscles. Women do well with 1 ml/week and rarely show virilization symptoms if the
compound is not taken for more than six weeks. Female athletes rarely use Dynabolon since they
normally prefer Durabolin, which has a shorter duration of effectiveness

Ephedrine belongs to the group of sympathomimetics. It is not a hormone compound. First, ephedrine
has clear fatburning characteristics. On the one hand, this occurs since ephedrine produces heat in the
body (thermogenesis). Simplified, ephedrine slightly increases the body temperature so that the body
burns more calories than usual. On the other hand, ephedrine stimulates the thyroid gland to transform
the weaker LT-4 (L-thy-roxine) into the stronger LT-3 (liothyronine), thus accelerating the metabolism.
The fatburning effect, with the additional intake of both methylzanthine caffeine and aspirin, can almost
37
be doubled. Scientific research has shown that the combination of 25 mg ephedrine, 200 mg caffeine,
and 300 mg aspirin is ideal to produce a synergetic effect. Those who apply this combination three
times daily, approximately 30 minutes prior to a meal, will significantly burn fat. Competing bodybuilders
have appreciated this for quite some time. Second, ephedrine has anticatabolic characteristics. Thus it
is especially useful for maintaining the muscle system while dieting. Finally, athletes often use
ephedrine as a "training booster." Since it has a mild amphetamine-like effect on the central nervous
sys-tem (CNS) it improves the concentration, vigilance, and the in-terplay of nerves and muscles. For
this purpose, 25-50 mg ephedrine are taken approximately one hour before a workout. The athlete feels
an immediate boost in energy which during work-out can manifest itself in a 5-10% increase in strength.
Again, also in this case, the effect can be improved by taking caffeine and aspirin (s.a.). it is important
to note that ephedrine, admin-istered for this purpose, is not to be taken more than three times a week;
otherwise, the body gets accustomed to it and the "boost effect" decreases, and much higher dosages
are needed.
Side effects can manifest themselves in the form of more rapid heartbeat, insomnia, tremors (light
trembling of the fingers), headaches, dizziness, high blood pressure, and lack of appetite. Ephedrine
must not be taken when high blood pressure, a severe hyperfunction of the thyroid gland, irregular
heart rhythm, or a recent myocardiac infarction are present.

Today, the substance boldenone undecylenate can only be found in steroids for veterinary medicine.
The American Equipoise is for horses; the Columbian Ganabol is used for cattle; and the German
Vebonol for dogs. Athletes do not care, which shows the enormous popularity and far reaching
application of these steroid compounds. Boldenone undecylenate is also very effective in humans and
offers the athlete interesting characteristics which other steroids simply do not have.
Equipoise has a relatively high anabolic effect which is usually connected with a moderately distinct
androgenic component. For this reason, Equipoise is not the steroid that will cause enormous gains in
strength and muscle mass in the shortest time. Equipoise has a very favorable effect on the organism's
nitrogen balance so that the main effect consists of a distinctly increased protein synthesis in the
muscle cell. The resulting gain in body weight consists of a solid quality increase of the muscles which
occurs slowly and evenly. The high quality is caused by low water retention of the substance. An
additional advantage is that Equipoise aromatizes only slightly, thus making it an effective drug to use
when preparing for competitions. Athletes who are dieting combine Equipoise with Winstrol Depot and
report a dramatic increase in muscle hardness. Together with a sufficiently high supply of calories and
protein this combination offers its users a large increase in strength and a rapid gain in quality muscles.
Many will notice that Equipoise stimulates the appetite. The advantages achieved can usually be wellmaintained
over several weeks after use of the compound is discontinued. Equipoise also stimulates
the erythropoiesis which is manifested by improved development and the formation of red blood cells.
Bodybuilders thus experience an improved pump effect during workout and an improved vascularity
For most male athletes the weekly dosage is usually 150-300 mg. Often since only the 25 mg version
can be found, frequent or very voluminous injections are necessary For most athletes 50 mg
(corresponding to a 2 ml injection) taken every second day is sufficient. Advanced and ambitious
bodybuilders usually take higher doses (50 mg daily) and achieve dramatic results. Women also usually
respond well to Equipoise and with 50-100 mg/week they gain good muscles with a low water retention.
39
A dosage in this range is usually well tolerated. Higher dosages can cause virilization symptoms such
as deep voice, increased production of the sebaccous gland and acne, increased libido and in some
cases increased hair growth on the face and legs. Men have few problems with Equipoise. Since water
and salt retentions are low, the blood pressure usually does not increase. Acne, gynecomastia, and
increased aggressiveness occur only in rare instances. The feared "steroid fever," which can occur
when using veterinary steroids, is rare with Equipoise since the product by Squibb is highly sterile and
pure. Those who experience flu-like symptoms when they begin taking the compound should reduce
the dosage for a short time. The price on the black market for a 10 ml vial is usu-ally around $90. The
50 ml vial is usually around $250.

Esiclene is a steroid that is somewhat different from the others. The substance formebolone is available
in various forms of administration. For athletes only the injectable version is of interest. Because of its
anabolic effect, Esiclene is not well suited as a steroid for athletes. In bodybuilding, however, it is a
highly valued and commonly used compound since it has the unusual characteristic of allowing any
muscle to increase in diameter and size within the shortest period. How is this possible? Esiclene
stimulates the muscle tissue located at the point of injection. The tissue defends itself or shall we say,
reacts with a local inflammation.
This is manifested by an accumulation of tissue fluid from the lymph system which is the cause for the
swelling or enlargement of the injected muscle. In order to avoid any misunderstandings we want to
explicitly emphasize once more that the liquid is not accumulating in the skin but actually in the muscle
tissue. Now it should also be clear why all other forms of administration of the compound will bring no
results for bodybuilders. Since an inflammation is normally painful, each Esiclene ampule also in-cludes
20 mg lidocaine, a mild painkiller. The injection itself is not painful but an unpleasant feeling at the point
of injection is noted for about a day. Since the substance dissolves in water, Esiclene's duration of
effect is limited so that the swelling begins to decrease after about one day, and after at most 4-5 days
the muscle is back to its normal size. For this reason, bodybuilders use Esiclene only during the last 7-
14 days before a competition to shape up less-developed muscle groups. In order to compen-sate for
the decrease in swelling, the compound is usually in-jected daily. Smaller muscle groups such as
biceps, triceps, deltoid muscles and calves are especially suitable and thus preferred over others.
Over a period of 1-2 weeks a temporary growth gain of 1-1,5 inches on arms and calves can be
obtained. At most, two or three different muscles are usually injected at the same time. Often the
athlete starts with a 1 ml injection; during the following days it is increased to 2 ml = 1 ampule per
muscle. Esiclene, for this purpose, is injected with insulin needles. Esiclene is also popular among
women since it is highly effective. It has also been proven that Esiclene, as is common for waterdissolved
steroids, helps the athlete to achieve a better muscle hardness over the entire body during
the course of his preparation for a competition. Some bodybuilders use Esiclene over a longer period in
regular intervals, usually 2 ml every 5-7 days, in order to stimulate the growth of an extremely obstinate
41
arm or calf muscle. Apart from the pain at the point of injection and, in some cases, a somewhat
awkward-looking muscle, Esiclene has no sig-nificant negative side effects. It is difficult to find Esiclene
on the black market. Six ampules are included in a box with a pull-out plastic bed. One ampule contains
2 ml of injection liquid with 4 mg of dissolved substance. This compound is very inexpensive. On the
black market an ampule normally sells for $6 - 10.

ESTANDRON
Substance:
Trade Names:
Ambosex 105 mg/ml; Gedeon Richter BG
Estandrn 105 mg/ml; Organon ES
Estandrn 105 mg/ml; Organon PT A
This injectable steroid is a mix of three different testosterone esters and a smaller portion of estradiol, a
female sex hormone. The testosterone composition of Estandron is similar to that found in Sustanon
but contains one less testosterone substance (Testosterone decanoate). Like all other injectable
testosterone compounds Estandr6n is also extremely suitable for a rapid build up of strength and
muscle mass. It is highly androgenic and has a distinct protein -improving and anticatabolic effect.
Estandr6n also improves the body's ability to regenerate; it lubricates joints by storing fluid in the
connective tissue, and it increases the glycogen level n the muscle cells.
Why in the world are estrogens included in a steroid compound whose main component is the male sex
hormone testosterone? The answer is simple: Estandron's target group is not men but women. The
steroid developed by Organon Company is a com-bination of androgens/estrogens which in school
medicine is used in the treatment of climacteric disorders (various physical conditions occurring in
women in menopause) and of osteoporosis. The an-tagonistic (contrasting) sexual effects are distinct.
To get the facts straight: the estradiol included in Estandron neutralizes the androgenic effect of the
three testosterone esters, thereby reducing or avoiding androgenic-caused masculinization symptoms
in women.
This is a combination which offers bodybuilders advantages and disadvantages. The advantage
consists of the fact that women who do not want to give up the performance-enhancing characteristics
of testosterone but, at the same time, who show a sensitive reaction to the androgenic component, can
achieve good gains without too much worry about virilization symptoms. The same is true for men who
may experience acne, hair loss or a prostate condition when taking additional testosterone. In these
cases the estradiol in the com-pound is able to counteract these conditions. Since small amounts of
estrogens are also anabolic and in particular stimulate blood cir-culation, this could also be one of the
reasons why Estandr6n gives its users an enormous pump and a considerable increase in mass.
Another positive aspect is also the fact that estrogens reinforce the storage of calcium in bones.
Unfortunately, the estradiol mixture can lead to the formation of edemas and weight gain in both sexes.
This results in excessive water retention and the risk of formation of subcutaneous fat deposits with
increases in the dosage. A considerable risk of gynecomastia in male bodybuilders is also present.
Competing bodybuilders and athletes who, because of testosterone injections, grow very rapidly should
43
stay away from Estandron. Further, the endogenous testosterone production is reduced considerably
and the blood pressure often rises as well.
The dosage for male bodybuilders usually lies between 3 and 5 ml/ week. In order to minimize
androgenic-caused side effects some "delicate" men combine Estandron with the milder and
predominantly anabolic steroids and achieve quite satisfying results. An example might be an intake of
3 ml Estandr6n/week and 200 mg Primobolan Depot/week or 200 mg Deca-Durabolin/week. Those who
would like to gain body mass as quickly as possible and who do not care about its consistency or
quality, will be satisfied by taking 5 ml Estandr6n/week, 200 mg Deca-Durabolin/week, and 30 mg
Dianabol/day. Women are usually content with 1-2 ml Estandron/ week. Most female bodybuilders
achieve good gains and losing their femininity while taking 20 mg Winstrol tablets/day and 1-2
Estandron/week.
One ampule sells for $10 - 12.

FINAPLIX
Finaplix is a veterinary cattle implant, which contains the potent androgenic steroid trenbolone acetate.
This is the same drug which was once available as an injectable in the U.S., labeled Finaject, although
it's production has been discontinued here and worldwide for about a decade. Finaplix was the last
remaining pure trenbolone acetate, however it too had now been discontinued and replaced with
Revalor, trenbolone acetate with a small amount of estradiol, an estrogen (see Revalor). Trenbolone
acetate is a potent androgen, which will not readily convert to estrogen. Since in this case it is in the
form of a cattle implant, administration is a bit difficult. Most commonly, these implant pellets are ground
up and mixed with a 50/50 water/DMSO mix and applied to the skin daily. This homebrew transdermal
mix is very effective, as seen in Finaplix's popularity. Some a little more daring have mixed their own Biweekly
(or more frequent) injections, although I couldn't see this being a very sanitary practice. Either
when applied to the skin, or injected, users report great strength and mass gains with no gyno or water
retention. Along with being a strong muscle-building steroid, it is also noted as being very effective at
burning fat. This has made it very appealing for competitive athletes looking to shed fat, while at the
same time trying to avoid water retention and keep the hard physique, which a strong androgen helps
bring about. It should be noted that this is not a beginner's steroid. Finaplix can be very toxic, especially
to the kidneys. Since this is a strong androgen, related side effects such as acne and increased
aggression are also very common. To be cautious, users will commonly limit their use of this drug to 4
or 6 weeks. Old lots of Finaplix are still available through some veterinary suppliers, and being an
implant is not being controlled as a steroid. It will not be long before old lots are exhausted and pure
trenbolone acetate will once again disappear.

GHB- gamma-hydroxybutyrate
GHB, or gamma-hydroxybutyrate is a naturally occurring metabolite and precursor to GABA (gammaaminobutyrate).
GHB was a widely available over-the-counter supplement until it was banned by the
FDA in 1990. The substance has many beneficial effects, but it is typically used by bodybuilders and
athletes because it can significantly raise growth hormone levels. Unfortunately, the increase in GH
levels is also accompanied by an increase in levels of prolactin. The increase in prolactin counteracts
many of the positive effects of an elevated GH level. This probably explains why many athletes
experience very little as far as muscle growth with the use of GHB. Several athletes using GHB report
an increase in lean body mass and strength. Many users don't experience any muscle or strength
increase, but do feel GHB help to accelerate fat loss.
Besides the increase in growth hormone, there are many other positive effects of GHB that may prove
beneficial to athletes. First, GHB is an excellent sleeping aid. A small dosage will induce a state of
relaxation, euphoria, and drowsiness. An even higher dosage will intensify the effect and help the user
fall asleep quickly. GHB aids in REM and slow-wave sleep, and unlike other popular sleep aids, GHB
will not interrupt any stages of the natural sleep pattern. This is crucial in achieving a complete session
of sleep necessary for recuperation and muscle recovery. One problem with GHB-induced sleep is that
some people tend to wake up 3-4 hours later when the GHB has worn off. This effect is probably due to
the fact that GHB will temporarily inhibit the release of dopamine in the brain, and at the same time
increase dopamine storage. When the GHB wears off, there will be a sudden increase in dopamine
release and this is what may cause some people to wake up in the middle of the night. This is more
likely to happen when a high dosage of GHB is used. Therefore, the dosage of GHB used to induce
sleep should be lowered. Another way to combat this effect is simply by taking a second dosage upon
wakening to allow for another 3-4 hours of sleep. It is interesting to note that this increase in dopamine
release is also the reason why so many people report feelings of improved well-being and alertness the
next day after a night of GHB-induced sleep.
GHB induces a state of euphoria, relaxation, and sensuality along with a lowering of anxiety and
inhibition. It also exhibits prosexual effects by improving tactility (sense of touch), enhancing erectile
capacity in men, and increasing the intensity of orgasm. For these reasons, GHB has become a very
popular recreational drug. It has become even more popular among athletes because unlike other
recreational drugs, GHB will not hinder athletic performance. GHB is used by many athletes as a
substitute for alcohol because it does not cause a hangover the following day. GHB is also very
effective in treating the withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism.
Now that GHB has been banned by the FDA, an athlete only has a few options if he want to obtain
GHB. First, he can buy it on the black market. This has several disadvantages. To begin with, much of
the stuff on the black market is made by underground chemists using cheap materials that may contain
harmful impurities. Also, it is difficult to determine the concentration since most GHB sold on the black
46
market is dissolved in water. The concentration will often vary and this will make it hard to accurately
determine a dosage. A second option would be to mail order the GHB from a foreign pharmacy. This is
risky because US Customs may seize the order. There may also be legal consequences to buying
GHB. GHB is a controlled substance and many states are trying to make it a scheduled drug. Some
states are even trying to make it a schedule I drug. The last option left to the athlete is to make the GHB
himself. The manufacture of GHB is illegal in the United States, but many people choose to do it
anyway. There are several different approaches for synthesizing GHB available over the internet. Some
are good and some are bad. The syntheses of GHB is certainly not difficult, but it is definitely not as
easy as mixing some NaOH with gamma butyrolactone in a pot and allowing it to cook in the oven for a
couple of hours. The type of procedure will produce some GHB, but the yield will be very poor. Chances
are there will also be a lot of unreacted chemicals. Also, depending on the pH, it could be dangerous to
ingest. Many of the GHB procedures with good yields may be difficult to perform for the average person
that has very little knowledge of chemistry.

Halotestin is an oral steroid. Its fluoxymesterone substance is a precursor of methyltestosterone which,
through changes in the chemical structure, was made much more androgenic than test-osterone. The
anabolic component of Halotestin is only slightly pronounced. Based on its characteristics Halotestin is
used mainly when the athlete is more interested in a strength buildup rather than in a muscle gain.
Powerlifters and weightlifters who must stay within a certain weight class often use Halotestin because
they are primarily interested in a strength gain without adding body weight. In bodybuilding this drug is
almost exclusively taken during preparation for a competition. With a lower body fat content Halotestin
gives the bodybuilder a distinctive muscle hardness and sharpness. Although the muscle diameter does
not increase, it appears more massive since the muscle den-sity is improved. The fact that a daily dose
of up to 20 mg does not cause water and salt retention makes it even more desirable. During a diet,
Halotestin helps the athlete get through difficult, intense training while increasing the aggressiveness of
many us-ers. This is another reason why it is so popular among powerlifters, weightlifters, football
players, and, in particular, boxers. The generally observed dose is normally 20-40 mg/day.
Bodybuilders are usually satisfied with 20-30 mg/day while powerlifters often take 40 mg/day or more.
The daily dosage is usually split into two equal amounts and taken mornings and evenings with plenty
of fluids. Since the tablets are 1 7-alpha alky-lated, they can be taken during meals without any loss in
effect.
Those who are tired of taking Dianabol tablets will find Halotestin an interesting alternative. In the
meantime we know several body-builders who have combined Halotestin with injectable, mostly
anabolic, steroid preparations such as Anadur, Deca-Durabolin, Primobolan Depot, or Equipoise. The
quick strength gain induced by Halotestin can usually be turned into solid, high-quality muscle tissue by
taking the above steroids. This is an ?specially welcome change for athletes who easily retain water
arid have to fight against swollen breast glands. Many will be surprised at what progress can be
48
achieved by a simple combination of 30 mg Halotestin/day and 100 mg Equipoise every two days over
a four week period.
"So far, so good," you will say, but unfortunately, this is not so since Halotestin is a very toxic steroid.
Besides Anadrol 50 and Methyltestosterone it is the oral steroid with the most side effects. Those who
would like to try Halotestin should limit the intake to 4-6 weeks and take no more than 20-30 mg daily
Fluoxymesterone puts extremely high stress on the liver and is thus potentially liver damaging. Other
frequently- observed side effects are increased pro-duction of the sebaceous gland (which goes hand in
hand with acne), nasal bleeding, headaches, gastrointestinal pain, and reduced pro-duction of the
body's own hormones. Men become easily irritable and aggressive. Gynecomastia and high blood
pressure caused by edemas do not occur with Halotestin. Do not be surprised, however, when on
Halotestin's package insert you read the words "gynecomastia" and "edemas." This standard warning,
due to legal provisions, is included in all strong androgenic steroids. Women should avoid Halotestin
since it can cause substantol and in part irreversible virilization symptoms.
One hundred 10 mg tablets cost approx. $100 on the black market.

HCG, is not an anabolic/an-drogenic steroid but a natural protein hormone which develops in the
placenta of a pregnant woman. HCG is manufac-tured from the urine of pregnant women since it is
excreted in un-changed form from the blood via the woman's urine, passing through the kidneys. The
commercially available HCG is sold as a dry substance and can be used both in men and women. in
women injectable HCG allows for ovulation since it influences the last stages of the development of the
ovum, thus stimulating ovulation. In a man HCG stimulates pro-duction of androgenic hormones
(testosterone). For this re
