METHANDROSTENOLONE – METHANDIENONE
Methandrostenolone – methandienone (dianabol) is a derivative of methyl-testosterone.
Methandienone aromatises and the administration of an anti-estrogenic agent is necessary (anastrozole-letrozole-exemestane or tamoxifen-mesterolone), in order to avoid gynecomastia, or the retention of water and lipogenesis-fat storage.
The edema followed by aromatization process, is beneficial for muscle glycogen formation.
This is something very important for anabolism, since strength and stamina are enhanced.
Muscle are able to contract much better and look fuller, “pumped”.
This water retention due to estrogenic activity, lubricates synovial cavities, hence it protects the joints.
Methandienone is medically used during postoperative syndromes, when the patient is malnourished and needs immediate assimilation of nutrients and tissue regeneration.
Very useful against muscle wasting and cachexia.
Dianabol’s half life is estimated around six hours; therefore it should be administrated, four times a day during the course of 24 hours.
Dianabol’s use is often linked to acne and skin inflammation.
This could be the result of aromatization and its moderate androgenic index.
