Dianabol

Description

Dianabol (methandrostenolone) is an anabolic steroid originally developed in the 1950s. It is one of the most popular and widely used steroids, known for its powerful effects on muscle mass gain and strength improvement. It is generally used by bodybuilders and athletes to enhance performance and increase muscle size, though its use in sports is banned by most professional and amateur sports bodies due to the significant health risks and unfair advantage it provides.

Common Dosages:

Tablets are usually found in 5 mg, 10 mg, and sometimes 50 mg concentrations.

Indications:

Originally developed for medical uses such as helping individuals with conditions that cause muscle wastage, Dianabol is now predominantly used (illegally) for increasing muscle mass and physical strength. Its medical use is extremely limited today due to better alternatives and the extensive side effect profile.

Mechanism of Action:

Dianabol works by enhancing protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and glycogenolysis, which collectively promote increased muscle strength and mass. As an anabolic steroid, it mimics the effects of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, thereby affecting various bodily functions.
