Trenbolone Enanthate is a 19-nortestosterone (19-nor) anabolic androgenic steroid. The 19-label refers to a structural change in the testosterone hormone, as it lacks a carbon atom at the 19th position. Trenbolone is a modified form of nandrolone. It differs by the introduction of double bonds at carbons 9 and 11, which inhibit aromatization (9-ene), this structural change slows its metabolism, greatly increases its binding affinity to androgen receptors and inhibits it from being aromatized by the body into estrogen. The resulting steroid is significantly more potent as an anabolic and androgenic than its nandrolone base, trenbolone is simply a modified form of nandrolone, which itself is a structurally altered form of testosterone. This small change gives us a huge difference when we break down the various steroids, but the overall sense is often more closely related than we may realize. Trenbolone is just a minor modification of Nandrolone, but it actually creates a different hormone, and one that is much more powerful than Nandrolone. Trenbolone Enanthate is modified with an enanthate ester on the 17-beta hydroxyl, which makes it slowly released after injection. In addition, the different ester chains attached to the trenbolone will also affect its actual active content. Because the ester itself is also part of the attached steroid, the following chart shows the actual active ingredient content of common trenbolone.
Main Functional Features of Trenbolone Enanthate
[1] Enhanced protein synthesis: Protein is the main component of muscle. It is not the only factor in muscle growth, but it is a major factor. Trenbolone Enanthate increases the speed and efficiency of protein building in cells. As protein synthesis increases, the body has more protein to maintain body functions and promote muscle growth, which greatly increases the body’s anabolic environment and greatly improves overall recovery rate, which is crucial for muscle growth. Not only is it important during muscle growth, but Trenbolone Enanthate is also very effective in retaining lean body mass during fat loss.
[2] Enhanced nitrogen retention: All muscle tissue is composed of about 16% nitrogen. As nitrogen levels drop, this can lead to catabolism, which is what you call muscle loss. The more nitrogen we retain in our muscles, the greater our anabolic and recovery capabilities will be.
[3] Increased red blood cell levels: Red blood cells carry oxygen, and increased red blood cell levels also increase blood oxygenation levels. Our blood oxygen levels increase, which greatly improves muscle endurance. At the same time, it will more effectively promote the recovery of muscle injuries after training, and even make our blood vessels clearer and muscles fuller visually.
[4] Increase IGF-1 secretion: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a powerful protein hormone in the peptide class, mainly produced by the liver. Insulin-like growth factor plays an indispensable role in regulation with growth hormone (HGH), and has a strong anabolic effect. IGF-1 actually affects almost every cell in the human body, including muscle tissue, ligaments and tendons, cartilage, bones, central nervous system, and even our lungs.
[5] Inhibitory effect of glucocorticoids: Glucocorticoids are essential to our health, but only at low levels. High levels of glucocorticoids can cause our muscles to atrophy and promote fat production. Although glucocorticoids are important for our immune system, they can also cause serious damage to the body when levels are too high. Hard training in the gym and dieting can greatly increase glucocorticoid levels. Cortisol is the most important and well-known of the glucocorticoids. Trenbolone Enanthate has a strong inhibitory effect on glucocorticoids, which will ensure that the level of glucocorticoids in the human body is kept at a minimum, thereby ensuring that the body maintains a strong anabolic environment.
[6] Strong affinity for androgen receptors: Most of all anabolic steroids will promote and increase the body’s metabolism, increase basal metabolism, and help us increase the calorie deficit, thereby helping our body lose fat. In addition, the binding of sternosteroids to androgen receptors can directly promote lipolysis. Trenbolone Enanthate can actually help directly burn body fat through its strong affinity with androgens, which is very beneficial for the growth period and fat loss period during the off-season.
[7] Improved nutrient utilization efficiency: The above six functional properties of Trenbolone Enanthate are enough to make it a very powerful and beneficial anabolic steroid. However, its ability to increase or improve nutrient utilization efficiency truly makes Trenbolone the strongest anabolic steroid ever. By using Trenbolone Enanthate, every nutrient we absorb becomes more valuable. We are now better able to utilize every gram of fat, protein, and carbohydrate we consume. Without hormones like Trenbolone, the body can only utilize each nutrient to a certain extent, and each nutrient will never be fully utilized. That is, by using Trenbolone, every grain of rice, every piece of chicken breast you eat, will be maximized by your body.
Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects (Androgenic):
Trenbolone has sufficient androgenic activity, so Trenbolone-induced androgenic side effects are common and may include sebaceous gland hypersecretion, acne and body/facial hair growth, and prostate hyperplasia. Trenbolone’s androgenic activity may also aggravate hereditary male pattern baldness. Women using Trenbolone may also experience masculinizing effects, which may include deepening of the voice, irregular menstruation, changes in skin texture, facial hair growth, and clitoral enlargement. In addition, 5-alpha reductase does not metabolize Trenbolone, so its relative androgenicity is not affected by finasteride or dutasteride.
Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects (Hepatotoxicity):
Trenbolone is not c-17 alpha alkylated and is not generally considered a hepatotoxic steroid; however, this steroid does have a strong resistance to liver failure, and severe hepatotoxicity has been noted in some bodybuilders who abuse trenbolone. Although hepatotoxicity is theoretically unlikely with trenbolone, it cannot be completely ruled out, especially at high doses.
Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects (Cardiovascular):
All anabolic steroids have deleterious effects on serum cholesterol. This includes a tendency to lower HDL (good cholesterol) values and increase LDL (bad cholesterol) values, which may shift the HDL to LDL balance, thereby increasing the risk of atherosclerosis. The relative effects of anabolic steroids on blood lipids depend on dose, route of administration (oral vs. injection), steroid type (aromatizable or non-aromatizable), and whether or not it is hepatotoxic. Anabolic steroids may also have adverse effects on blood pressure and triglycerides, reduce endothelial relaxation, and may cause left ventricular hypertrophy of the heart. Tren has a moderate to high effect on blood lipids and atherogenic risk due to its non-aromatizable nature and strong metabolic resistance.
Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects (Irritability):
Trenbolone can also cause some physiological effects. This is because of the androgenic nature of trenbolone. Trenbolone affects the mood of the brain, causing irritability, impulsivity, and other phenomena, causing aggressiveness, anger or anxiety. Some people are quite sensitive to this. On the contrary, after stopping the use of steroids, the fluctuation of hormone levels in the body will also affect our brain
Emotions, some people may experience depression, low libido and many other symptoms.
Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects (Sleep Problems):
Trenbolone can stimulate the nervous system, especially in large quantities. Therefore, individuals may have difficulty sleeping, may not feel tired, or may feel uneasy. Trenbolone may also cause a small number of sensitive people to sweat more, especially night sweats during sleep. When using trenbolone, you should increase your water intake because excessive sweating may lead to dehydration. In addition to the drug’s influence, another possible cause of insomnia is the disease caused by the intake of vitamin B.
Trenbolone Enanthate side effects (self-testosterone secretion inhibition):
All anabolic steroids will inhibit the production of natural testosterone at doses that can promote muscle growth. Trenbolone’s inhibition of self-testosterone secretion is 3 times that of testosterone. During use, exogenous testosterone must be included to avoid low testosterone. If there is no steroid intervention, the natural secretion of testosterone will return to normal within 1-4 months after stopping the use of steroids, but 1-4 months is too long, which can easily lead to the loss of benefits obtained during the cycle. Therefore, it is recommended to restore PCT immediately after stopping the drug.
