DHB 100 1 vial/10 ml (100 mg/1 ml)

DHB (Dihydroboldenone Cypionate) from MAXPharm increases strength and improves muscularity and muscle visibility in a relatively short time. The biggest advantage of DHB is considered to be low or zero aromatization. On the other hand, it is a very unpleasant pain after taking this steroid at the injection site.

Dihydroboldenone acts as a highly anabolic compound, devoid of estrogenic and progestogenic properties. On paper, it appears noticeably androgenic (given its origin as a 5-alpha-reduced derivative of EQ), but this androgenicity favorably manifests itself.

Steroid profile of Dihydroboldenone

• anabolic activity – 200% of testosterone;
• androgenic activity – 100% of testosterone;
• aromatization (conversion to estrogens) – no;
• method of administration – injections;
• liver toxicity – none;
• half-life – cypionate - 8-10 days;
• elimination time from the body is 4-5 weeks.

Effects of taking Dihydroboldenone

1. an increase in lean muscle mass is accompanied by a decrease in body fat levels;
2. twice as anabolic as testosterone;
3. no estrogen-related side effects such as gynecomastia;
4. less androgenic than testosterone;
5. promotes a significant increase in strength;
6. no water retention;
7. Suitable for both the bulking and drying phases.

Uses and Dosage of Dihydroboldenone

DHB can be administered in extended cycles, lasting up to 10 or even 12 weeks. For optimal results, the recommended weekly dosage is usually in the range of 100 to 400 mg. Due to its approximately 10-day half-life, weekly injections are sufficient to maintain stable blood levels.

Side effects

• oily skin and acne;
• irritation at the injection site;
• increased hair growth on the body and face;
• male pattern hair loss;
• potential virilizing effects and clitoral enlargement in women;
• lowering HDL (good) cholesterol levels and raising LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, which can shift the balance of HDL and LDL in favor of arteriosclerosis;
• rarely increases blood pressure;
• possible mild liver toxicity.

While DHB does cause testosterone suppression, which is a common feature among AAS, it does so to a lesser extent than compounds like Trenbolone or Nandrolone.

To manage potential side effects, prudent measures include maintaining adequate hydration and considering NAC (N-acetylcysteine) to support kidney function, given the potential nephrotoxicity associated with DHB.

Origin of the drug

The drug was first synthesized in the 1960s when research was being conducted to find new anabolic steroids with improved profiles, such as increased anabolic activity with reduced androgenic effects. The addition of a cypionate ester to the molecule improves its duration of action, allowing the substance to be released more slowly into the bloodstream after injection.

Dihydroboldenone Cypionate was not developed for medical use and is better known in the context of sports pharmacology and bodybuilding, where it is used to increase muscle mass and strength.
