Methandienone (Dianabol)

Methandienone (Metha-Med) is an anabolic steroid that is used to build muscle mass and improve strength performance. In bodybuilding, it is used during periods when athletes are actively gaining weight.

The effect of methandienone

This medication works at the cellular level, activating the cellular apparatus. As a result, the synthesis of DNA, RNA, ATP, and proteins is enhanced and the structure of tissue respiration improves, which, in turn, improves oxidative processes.

Methandienone actively affects all anabolic processes in the body and suppresses catabolic ones. It also has a positive effect on the nitrogen balance, which has a positive effect on the well-being and mood of the athlete.

In addition, the medication reduces the amount of subcutaneous fat. However, its effect on adipose tissue depends on the athlete's individual predisposition to fatness.

Methandienone is believed to have low androgenic activity. Only when using high doses can serious side effects occur.

Beneficial properties of the hormone preparation methandienone for sports use

Methandienone is a revolutionary medication in the field of pharmacology, which is widely used both in medicine and among athletes striving for high athletic achievements. Using it allows you to achieve the following results:

• Rapid growth of muscle mass, the intensity of which depends on the dosage and high-protein diet.
• A positive effect on all metabolic processes, which helps to improve nitrogen balance and reduce catabolic effects.
• Increase appetite and strengthen bone tissue.
• Slight fat burning.
• Slight androgenic effect, accounting for about 50% of testosterone.
• The effect of pumping, which helps to increase blood flow to the muscles.
• Increased sexual activity.

Side effects

However, like any other medication , methandienone can cause side effects.:

The conversion of metabolites of the substance into methylestradiol, which is 30% more active in attacking estrogen receptors. The most serious consequence of an increase in estradiol levels is gynecomastia, a benign tumor of the mammary glands.

Liver toxicity. Like other oral medications in this class, methandienone contains the methyl group 17a. This group prevents the breakdown of dianabol, but has a strong toxic effect on the athlete's body.

• Prolonged use reduces the permeability of bile.
• Fluid retention, increased blood pressure.
• Testicular atrophy.
• Acne, heartburn.
• Possible hair loss (this side effect is very rare in people predisposed to alopecia).
• Masculinization in women.

In bodybuilding, methandienone is usually used in dosages of 15 to 50 milligrams per day. However, some athletes may use higher doses.

The cycle duration is usually from 4 to 6 weeks, which minimizes side effects. To enhance the effect, methandienone is often combined with other anabolic steroids such as testosterone, nandrolone or trenbolone.

Post-course therapy (PCT)

If methandienone has been used for a long time (more than 8 weeks), a PCT is recommended. Two weeks after discontinuation of the medication , you should start taking Proviron at a dosage of 25 milligrams per day. To support and restore the liver, you can take 500 milligrams of methionine three times a day.

It is important to remember that non-medical use of methandienone can pose serious health risks, especially with prolonged use or high doses.
