Overview
Potent oral AAS. 17-alpha alkylated. Known for rapid dry mass gains. One of the most liver-toxic oral AAS available.
Severe liver stress (can cause cholestasis), dramatically worsens lipids, significantly elevates ALT/AST, does not aromatise, very strong HPTA suppression, causes lethargy from liver stress at higher doses
Compound Guide
Structure: 17-alpha alkylated, 2a,17a-dimethyl-5a-androstane-3-one-17b-ol. Marketed briefly as a "prohormone" but is a potent designer steroid.
Dosage:
- Conservative: 10mg/day for 3-4 weeks
- Moderate: 20mg/day for 3-4 weeks
- Advanced: 30mg/day for 3 weeks maximum (liver stress becomes extreme)
Administration:
- Oral capsule/tablet, split into 2 doses if possible
- NEVER exceed 4 weeks of continuous use
Key Notes:
- Produces dramatic dry, lean mass gains — 10-15 lbs in 3-4 weeks is common
- Extremely hepatotoxic — can cause intrahepatic cholestasis (bile duct obstruction)
- Lethargy and loss of appetite are hallmarks of Superdrol use (liver distress)
- Mandatory liver support: TUDCA 500-1000mg/day, NAC 1.5g/day throughout and 2 weeks after
- Monitor liver enzymes before, during, and after — ALT/AST can exceed 10x upper limit
- Does not aromatise — no water retention or estrogen sides
- Very strong HPTA suppression — proper PCT mandatory
- Not recommended for anyone with pre-existing liver issues
