Overview
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (Tbol). Mild oral AAS. 17-alpha alkylated. Originally developed in East Germany for Olympic athletes.
Moderate liver stress (17-alpha alkylated but milder than Dianabol), worsens lipids (lowers HDL, raises LDL), lowers SHBG, does not aromatise, moderate HPTA suppression
Compound Guide
Structure: 17-alpha alkylated, 4-chloro substituted derivative of Dianabol. The chloro group eliminates aromatisation and reduces androgenicity.
Dosage:
- Mild enhancement: 20-40mg/day for 6-8 weeks
- Moderate: 40-60mg/day for 6-8 weeks
- Advanced: 60-80mg/day (increased liver stress with diminishing returns)
Administration:
- Oral tablet, split into 2 doses/day (morning and pre-workout)
- Take with food to reduce GI discomfort
Key Notes:
- "Slow and steady" oral — produces lean, dry gains without water retention or estrogen sides
- Significantly less hepatotoxic than Dianabol, Anadrol, or Superdrol, but still stresses the liver
- No aromatisation — no estrogen management needed from this compound alone
- Long-term metabolites detectable up to 12 months (relevant for tested athletes)
- Popular as a kickstart or finisher alongside injectable cycles
- Monitor liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) and lipids during use
- Run liver support: NAC 1-1.5g/day, TUDCA 250-500mg/day
