Drostanolone (trade names Masteron, Drolban, Metormon, Permastril, Mastager, etc.) is an anabolic steroid that is produced in the form of propionate and enanthate esters. Masteron has moderate androgenic activity and high anabolic effect. Masteron does not aromatize in the body (that is, it does not turn into estrogens), on the contrary, it is an aromatase inhibitor. Drostanolone is similar in biological action to dihydrotestosterone, since it is a derivative of this hormone (the chemical formula of Masteron is 2a-methyl-dihydro-testosterone propionate). In medicine, Masteron is used as a treatment for breast cancer in women, but due to the high probability of virilization, it is currently practically not used. You can buy original Drostanolone from our online store with delivery to Europe and the USA.
Drostanolone is usually available in ampoules of 50 and 100 mg/ml.
Drostanolone propionate is widely used by bodybuilding athletes to maintain muscle mass and strength during "drying" cycles. Drostanolone is often used by runners and athletes who want to maintain their weight category (without increasing body mass).
Masteron is popular in bodybuilding, as it does not cause fluid accumulation and has a moderate diuretic effect, which allows improving muscle definition and relief. Drostanolone may be of interest to those athletes who want to increase the hardness and density of muscles, as a rule, it is used shortly before competitions. Drostanolone allows you to achieve the most expressive state of muscles, this also happens due to the fat-burning effect of the drug. Practice shows that a Masteron course can reduce fat mass by 5-7% of the original.
Masteron is able to increase strength indicators, while maintaining overall body weight and reducing the fat component. This makes drostanolone attractive in powerlifting. The drug can be used in a weight loss diet to maintain muscle mass and suppress catabolism.
Steroid profile of Drostanolone
- Anabolic activity - 62-130% of testosterone
- Androgenic activity - 25-40% of testosterone
- Aromatization (conversion to estrogens) - no
- Method of administration - injections
- Liver toxicity - low
- Half-life: drostanolone propionate - 2.5 days, drostanolone enanthate - 10 days.
The main advantages and effects of taking Drostanolone
- Increase and improvement of muscle relief characteristics. Drostanolone improves the visual density of muscles, thanks to it the muscles become more pronounced, clear, and relief. This is especially important for athletes who need to improve their form before competitions;
- No fluid retention. Unlike many other anabolic steroids, drostanolone does not cause water retention in the body, which helps to avoid swelling and achieve a “dry” appearance of muscles;
- Anti-estrogenic effect. The steroid drostanolone during use blocks the aromatization process, this prevents the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. This reduces the likelihood of gynecomastia and fluid retention;
- Increase in physical characteristics. The drug helps to increase the indicators of physical characteristics. Therefore, when used, athletes can train with high intensity and perform exercises more effectively;
- Maintaining muscle mass while burning fat. During a diet or "drying out" drostanolone helps maintain muscle volume, preventing its loss during the fat burning process. This is especially important for those who want to reduce fat formations without losing muscle volume.
Effects of taking:
- Improvement of muscle relief and density. The main effect of the drug is to obtain dense and high-quality muscles without excess fat and fluid;
- Maintaining testosterone levels. Drostanolone helps maintain optimal testosterone levels in the body. Therefore, when using drugs containing it, an increase in strength indicators and capabilities is noted;
- Reduced estrogenic effects. Due to its antiestrogenic effect, drostanolone minimizes the risk of side effects associated with high estrogen levels, such as breast swelling and excessive fat accumulation.
Masteron course for bodybuilders
The optimal effect of the drug is achieved when using a dosage of about 400-500 mg per week. A greater increase in dosage does not lead to a significant improvement in results. Considering that propionate has a short chain, drostanolone propionate should be administered 3 times a week (or every other day).
Combination of Drostanolone with other drugs
Due to the high affinity of drostanolone for androgen receptors and its androgenic properties, it is recommended to combine this drug with steroids such as Winstrol or Oxandrolone. Winstrol interacts with androgen receptors to a lesser extent and reduces the concentration of sex hormone binding globulin, so the combination will have a pronounced synergistic effect during the drying cycle.
To gain muscle mass, it is recommended to combine Masteron and Testosterone propionate, but in this case, the production of your own testosterone is significantly suppressed. [6] Therefore, with long courses, it is necessary to use gonadotropin. Also, it is often recommended to combine Masteron and Trenbolone or Boldenone.
Side effects
Masteron has a low anabolic index, which is why it burns fat so well, but at the same time it increases the risk of androgenic side effects: aggression, acne, baldness, prostate hypertrophy and virilization in women. Once at the Olympic Games, almost all the gold medals were won by the German swimming team, it was later proven that the athletes were using a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, and it was obviously Masteron. During an interview, one of the journalists asked why all the athletes had such a low voice? To this, one of them replied that they were there to swim, not to sing.
Masteron does not cause side effects such as fluid retention, increased blood pressure and has low liver toxicity.
How to avoid side effects
In general, the drug is well tolerated, and unpleasant effects rarely occur during its use. To reduce the likelihood of side effects, it is worth using the following recommendations:
- It is important to use the product only after consulting a doctor, who should select the dosage and regimen for taking the drug;
- The prescribed dosages must not be exceeded, otherwise an overdose may occur, which will lead to side effects;
- When using the product, it is important to adhere to the regimen and frequency of administration of the product;
- The introduction of the drug must be carried out in compliance with the technique. The drug can be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly;
- While taking the drug, you should regularly take tests and undergo examinations to check your general indicators and hormonal levels;
- The drug should be used under the supervision of a physician, who will be able to adjust the dose if necessary;
- After completion, you need to undergo PCT to restore normal testosterone production and improve hormonal levels.
