Dianabol is also known as Methandrostenolone, Metandienone, Methandienone, Reforvit-b, Averbol, Danabol, and Dbol. This anabolic steroid was originally developed by John Ziegler and is commonly used by professional sportsmen, especially bodybuilders and strength athletes, to promote muscle growth.
The highly anabolic and androgenic drug offers little progestational activity; it is routinely prescribed by medical practitioners to people suffering with disorders requiring increased protein synthesis and osteoporosis.
The chemical name of Dianabol is [17a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-3-one] and it has the anabolic/androgenic ratio of 90-210:40-60. It can be detected over a period of 5-6 weeks and has the molecular formula of C20H28O2.
Benefits of Dianabol
The highly potent anabolic steroid is admired for its unique ability to stimulate dramatic increases in glycogenolysis, nitrogen retention, protein synthesis, and muscle strength in as short as four to eight weeks. The 17?-methylation of the steroid allows it to pass through the liver easily and its unique formulation is instrumental in reducing the steroid’s affinity for SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), which is protein that deactivates steroid molecules and prevents them from further reactions with the body. This suggests that Dianabol is significantly more active than an equivalent quantity of testosterone when it comes to the promotion of rapid growth of muscle tissue.
The Schedule III drug is placed in the same class as amphetamines as per the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990. It has an active life of 6-8 hours and exhibits strong anabolic and moderate androgenic properties. Dianabol is as effective to build muscles as it is for losing fat and is more than just useful for promoting the sense of well-being and allowing the body to adapt itself to increased workloads and be able to combat fatigue.
Use of this legal steroids helps in increasing the level of anaerobic glycolysis that promotes the buildup of lactic acid in the body, which is useful for the muscles to form glycogen. It is worthwhile to note that glycogen provides energy in anaerobic metabolism while lactic acid is useful in the disposal of dietary carbohydrates that means that Dbol users are less likely to get fat while using it. Dianabol is aromatized by the human body and is a moderately estrogenic steroid. Dianabol also demonstrates efficacy to improve the levels of total body calcium and total body potassium besides working on osteoporosis. This means that this legal steroid is useful in promoting muscle growth by carrying a large amount of creatine and amino acids besides assisting in muscle contractions, transmitting nerve signals, and insulin release.
Recommended Dose
The recommended dose of Dianabol for men is 50-150 mg per week (when taken in an injectable form) and 25-50 mg per day (when taken in an oral form).
Stacking
Dianabol is primarily stacked with legal anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs such as Testosterone (testosterone propionate, testosterone enanthate, and testosterone cypionate), Trenbolone acetate, and Nandrolone with long-acting esters. Dianabol is usually taken at the start of a steroid cycle of 6-8 weeks.
