Stanolone is well known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is an endogenous androgen sex steroid and hormone. Stanolone is a potent androgenic metabolite of testosterone that It is Controlled substance. It was created for the treatment of muscle wasting disease, and osteoporosis. It is a powerful anabolic steroid, which is similar to the body’s naturally produced Dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is generated by a 5-alpha reduction of testosterone. Unlike testosterone, DHT cannot be aromatized to estradiol therefore DHT is considered a pure androgenic steroid stanolone steroid.
stanolone benefits
Most of DHT’s effects on muscle growth are indirect (higher neural drive therefore better workouts, better recruitment of fibers, faster strength-based progressive overload etc). But don’t confuse DHT in the body with DHT derived anabolic steroids though. The subtle changes made to the DHT molecule in some steroids do give it some anabolic effects that naturally-occurring DHT doesn’t have (example don’t compare Masteron, Primo, Anavar or Superdrol to naturally-occuring DHT).
DHT is approximately 3 – 5x more androgenic (development of masculine characteristics) than testosterone. However, there is very little 5-AR in muscle tissue so there is very little DHT in muscles.
In fact, any DHT that is formed within your muscles or finds its way into your muscles is quickly deactivated by an enzyme known as 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3a-HSD).
So how is it possible for dihydrotestosterone to be such a powerful muscle and strength builder? This is where things get interesting!
1.DHT promotes amino acid uptake in fast twitch muscles fibers as well as LAT2, a protein coding gene.
2.Not surprisingly, since it promotes LAT2, it was also found that DHT increases protein synthesis, cell signaling, cell proliferation and ATP production.
stanolone steroid, is a natural and powerful estrogen blocker! There are 2 primary ways it works to control estrogen levels.
1.It helps prevent the aromatization of estrogen (the process by which testosterone is converted into estrogen).
2.By working as an antagonist to the estrogen receptor thereby decreasing estrogens ability to bind.
This is extremely important to note because if you are actively trying to block your body’s production of DHT you are also actively killing one of your bodies most powerful anti-estrogen fighters.
Stanolone side effects
In rare cases, serious and even fatal cases of liver problems have developed during treatment with stanozolol. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience abdominal pain, light-colored stools, dark-colored urine, unusual fatigue, nausea or vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. These may be early signs of liver problems.
Serious side effects: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); swelling of the arms or legs (especially ankles); frequent or persistent erections, or breast tenderness or enlargement (male patients); or voice changes (hoarseness, deepening), hair loss, facial hair growth, clitoral enlargement, or menstrual irregularities (female patients).
Common stanozolol side effects may include: new or worsening acne; difficulty sleeping; headache; or changes in sexual desire.
