Effective dose: 250-1000 mg/week

Example of a first cycle:

Insomnia - Second in frequency of reports to sweating and discomfort is insomnia; this may be at least partially attributed to discomfort. Possible means of countering this include such supplements as Valerian root or melatonin. Alternatively, one may deal with this via prescription or OTC sleep medications or GHB-A precursors. However, these may be addictive if used on a regular basis and if their use may be avoided, by all means abstain from using them.

Triacana belongs to the group of thyroid hormone preparations. Its substance tiratricol is a precursor of the iodiferous thyroid hormone,

L-triiodthyronine (L-T3). L-T3, together with another iodiferous thyroid hormone, L-T4 (L-thyroxine), is produced in the thyroid and is the distinctly stronger and more effective of these two hormones. School medicine use Triacana in the treatments of obesity and hyperthyroidism (e.g. Jod-Basedow phenomenon-, goiter). Hyperthyroidism is an abnormal function of the thyroid gland in which the amount of secretion by the thyroid hormone is above average. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce more L-T3 and L-T4. By the use of Triacana an excessive release of TSH can be avoided.

You should be aware that Provironum is also an estrogen antagonist which prevents the aromatization of steroids. Unlike the antiestrogen Nolvadex which only blocks the estrogen receptors (see Nolvadex) Provironum already prevents the aromatizing of steroids. Therefore gynecomastia and increased water retention are successfully blocked. Since Provironum strongly suppresses the forming of estrogens no re-bound effect occurs after discontinuation of use of the compound as is the case with, for example, Nolvadex where an aromatization of the steroids is not prevented. One can say that Nolvadex cures the problem of aromatization

at its root while Nolvadex simply cures the symptoms. For this reason male athletes should prefer Provironum to Nolvadex. With Provironum the athlete obtains more muscle hard-ness since the androgen level is increased and the estrogen concen-tration remains low. This, in particular, is noted positively during the preparation for a competition when used in combination with a diet. Female athletes who naturally have a higher estrogen level of-ten supplement their steroid intake with Provironum resulting in increased muscle hardness. In the past it was common for body-builders to take a daily dose of one 25 mg tablet over several weeks,

sometimes even months, in order to appear hard all year round. This was especially important for athletes' appearances at guest performances, seminars and photo sessions. Today Clenbuterol is usually taken over the entire year since possible virilization symp-toms cannot occur which is not yet the case with Provironum. Since Provironum is very effective male athletes usually need only 50-mg/ day which means that the athlete usually takes one 25 mg tablet in the morning and another 25 mg tablet in the evening. In some cases one 25 mg tablet per day is sufficient. When combining Provironum with Nolvadex (50 mg Provironum/day and 20 mg Nolvadex/day)
this will lead to an almost complete suppression of estrogen. Even better results are achieved with 50 mg Provironum/ day and 500 - 1000 mg Teslac/day. Since Teslac is a very expensive compound (see Teslac) most athletes do not consider this com-bination.

Testosterone cypionate is a long acting ester of testosterone which is increasingly difficult to find.Before the scheduling of anabolics in the U.S., this was the most common form of testosterone available to athletes. Cyp had gained a reputation as being slightly stronger than enanthate and became the testosterone of choice for many. Now that anabolics are controlled,

this is an almost impossible find. In general, the only versions you\'ll find on the black market are Sten from Mexico, which contains 75mg cyp with 25mg propionate along with some DHEA, and Testex from Leo in Spain which contains 250mg cypionate is a light resistant ampule. All versions of Upjohn and Steris in multi-dose vials should be looked at with extreme caution as they are very difficult to get on the black market. Counterfeits are quite easy to obtain. Real Steris products have the inking STAMPED into the box and the labels cannot be removed from the bottle. Any variation of that is definitely counterfeit. A running dosage of test
cypionate is generally in the range of 200-600mg per week. When this was available for $20 per10ml bottle, many users would take a whopping 2000mg per week. This kind of dosage however, is unsafe, generally not needed and in today's day and age too costly.

Other examples of glucose or other high Glycemic index carbohydrate preparations which you can use include: glucose tablets, glucose powder mixed in a small volume of water, barley sugar, or other sweets or if these are not immediately available, a sugar containing cordial, soft drink or plain sugar dissolved in water. This should be followed by an adequate low Glycemic index

carbohydrate meal to prevent further hypoglycemia since the insulin levels are likely to remain high for some hours after the high Glycemic index carbohydrates are used up (metabolized) in the body.

The side effects of Proviron in men are low at a dosage of 24 tab-lets/day so that Proviron, taken for example in combination with a steroid cycle, can be used comparatively without risk over several weeks. Since Proviron is well-tolerated by the liver, liver dysfunc-tions do not occur in the given dosages. For

athletes who are used to acting under the motto "more is better" the intake of Proviron could have a paradoxical effect. The most common side effect of Proviron is a distinct sexual overstimulation and in some cases continuous penis erection. Since this condition can be painful and lead to possible damages, a lower dosage or discontinu-ing the compound are the only sensible solutions. Female athletes should use Proviron with caution since possible androgenic side ef-fects cannot be excluded. Women who want to give Proviron a try should not take more than one 25 mg tablet per day. Higher dosages and periods of intake of more than
four weeks considerably increase the risk of virilization symptoms. Female athletes who have no dif-ficulties with Proviron obtain good results with 25 mg Proviron/ day and 20 mg Nolvadex/day and, in combination with a diet, re-port an accelerated fat breakdown and continuously harder muscles.

The dosages observed are normally 100mg every 4-5 days. Masteron is not hepatoxic so liver damage is quite unlikely. High blood pressure and gynecomastia are not a problem since neither water nor salt retention occurs and the estrogen level remains low. The main problem are acne and a possible accelerated hair loss since dihydrotestosterone

is highly affinitive to the skin's androgen receptors, in particular, to those on the scalp. Since Masteron. in most cases, is not administered in excessively high dosages and the intake, at the same time, is limited to a few weeks, the compatibility for the athlete is usually very good.

Averbol is an injectable form of methandienone. Methandienone is a derivative of testosterone and has a very strong anabolic and androgenic effect. It has a great effect on protein metabolism and promotes protein synthesis. This effect manifests itself in by creating a positive nitrogen balance, supporting the builidup of protein and, thus, skeletal

muscle mass. Methandienone also induces an improved sense of well-being.

There is no evidence in the literature, nor I think practical evidence, that trenbolone acetate has a "special role" in burning fat. Rather, it is an extraordinarily potent AAS, being about three times as effective per milligram as testosterone esters. For this reason, any property which anabolic steroids have, trenbolone acetate will demonstrate more strongly per milligram.

Caution is advised when using this medicine in the eldery because they may be more

sensitive to the side effects of this medicine. This medicine should not be used in women or children.

By minimizing the production of DHT, we should greatly reduce many of these harsh side effects and make our testosterone cycles more comfortable. In many instances, Proscar/Propecia can allow the athlete the use of steroid compounds (testosterone esters such as cypionate, enanthate, Sustanon etc.), Halotestin and methyltestosterone with much less androgenic side activity.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to Tamoxifen.

Patients with renal impairment should be carefully monitored during prolonged treatment with benzodiazepines to avoid the adverse reactions that occur from accumulation.

The greatest advantage of Restandol (Andriol) lies in its good compatibility. It can, for example, be used with Deca Durabolin in long-term therapy and, in this combination and for health-conscientious athletes, it is an alternative to

the famous Dianabol (D-bol)/Deca Durabolin stack.

Effective Dose: 16-30mg per day.

Also, for the same effect on fat cells, clenbuterol accelerates heart rate less, so one can use effectively a higher dose. (Not a greater quantity, but a dose giving a greater effect on fat cells for the same effect on tachycardia.)

IGF stands for insulin-like growth factor. It is a natural substance that is produced in the human body and is at its highest natural levels during puberty. During puberty IGF is the most responsible for the natural muscle growth that occurs during these few years. There are many different things that IGF

does in the human body; I will only mention the points that would be important for physical enhancement. Among the effects the most positive are increased amino acid transport to cells, increased glucose transport, increased protein synthesis, decreased protein degradation, and increased RNA synthesis.

Xenical capsules. Each Xenical capsule contains 120 mg. orlistat. Xenical comes in packs of 84 capsules and is manufactured by Roche.

Half-life means nothing. Localized vs systemic = bad argument. You want localized effects. Period. You get

Andropen contains 20mgs of Testosterone Acetate, 75mgs of Testosterone Cypionate, 90mgs of Testosterone Decanoate, and 40mgs each of Testosterone Propionate and Phenylpropionate in a 20ml bottle. I am very impressed with the fact that this product appears to be designed specifically for bodybuilders and athletes, and certainly if I wanted to create a long, medium, and short estered testosterone product, it would be something like this one. Also, due to that fact, I think I´d recommend shooting it EOD, or E3D or so& .giving you a very decent and relatively stable

level of hormone in your body. A few years back, I made a testosterone blend for my own use out of powders, which was essentially a five estered testosterone (the same esters as Sust + 100mgs of test with the Cypionate ester per milliliter). Anyway, now it seems that every Underground Lab is involved with this type of thing. It´s not uncommon to see a price list with several "custom blends" or "house blends" of various estered testosterone´s (or sometimes Trenbolones, or whatever).

Xenical achieves weight loss by using the existing fat from the body. By taking Xenical with each meal (3 times daily),

Xenical allows one third of the fat to pass through the body undigested, aiding in weight loss.

Its effectiveness at the androgen receptor of muscle tissue is superior to that of testosterone: it binds better.it gives only about half the muscle-building results per milligram. This is a result of its being less effective or entirely ineffective in non-AR-mediated mechanisms for muscle growth.

What side effects may I notice from taking diazepam?

Usage: 500-1000 mg weekly.

Treatment of the selected patient should begin with a low dose, 50 mg. daily for 5 days. The dose should be increased only in those patients

who do not ovulate in response to cyclic 50 mg. Clomid tablets.

Discontinue use of Xenical if weight loss is less than 5% after the first 12 weeks.

Theoretically, Restandol (Andriol) should build up muscle and mass, in combination with noticeable water retention, in a fast and reliable way, similar to the tested injectable Testosterone Sustanon and Testoviron Depot. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Some athletes who work out for a competition store too much water due to their use of the injectable testosterone, resulting in smooth muscles. However, if they still do not want to give up Testo, they should at least not have

the estrogen-linked complications caused by taking up to 240 mg Restandol (Andriol)/day and be able to reduce the water retention. In this phase, the estrogen level must be kept as low as possible, otherwise the best diet will be useless. The intake of Restandol (Andriol) makes sense in this case and usually brings acceptable results. Otherwise, Restandol (Andriol) is a drug better used by hobby-bodybuilders.

The principle drawback to Anadrol 50 (Oxydrol)

is that it is a 17alpha alkylated compound. Although this design gives it the ability to withstand oral administration, it can be very stressful to the liver. Anadrol (Oxydrol) is particularly dubious because we require such a high milligram amount per dosage. The difference is great when comparing it to other oral steroids like Dianabol or Winstrol, which have the same chemical alteration. Since they have a slightly higher affinity for the androgen receptor, they are effective in much smaller doses. Anadrol 50 has a lower affinity, which may be why we have a 50mg tablet dosage. When looking at the medical requirements, the recommended

dosage for all ages has been 1 - 5 mg/kg of body weight. This would give a 220lb person a dosage as high as 10 Anadrol 50 tablets (500mg) per day. There should be little wonder why when liver cancer has been linked to steroid use, Anadrol 50 (Oxydrol) is generally the culprit. Athletes actually never need such a high dosage and will take in the range of only 1-3 tablets per day. Many happily find that one tablet is all they need for exceptional results, and avoid higher amounts. Cautious users will also limit the intake of this compound to no longer than 4-6 weeks and have their liver enzymes checked regularly with a doctor. Kidney functions
may also need to be looked after during longer use, as water retention/high blood pressure can take a toll on the body. Before starting a cycle, one should know to give Anadrol 50 the respect it is due. It is a very powerful drug, but not always a friendly one.

The undesired effect of growth hormones, the so-called side effects, are also a very interesting and hotly-discussed issue. Above all it must be said: STH has none of the typical side effects of anabolic/androgenic steroids including reduced endogenous testosterone production, acne, hair

loss, aggressiveness, elevated estrogen level, virilization symptoms in women, and increased water and salt retention. The main side effects that are possible with STH are an abnormally small concentration of glucose in the blood (hypoglycemia) and an inadequate thyroid function. In some cases antibodies against growth hormones are developed but are clinically irrelevant. What about the horror stories about acromegaly, bone deformation, heart enlargement, organ conditions, gigantism, and early death? In order to answer this question a clear differentiation must be made between humans before and after puberty. The growth plates in a person
continue to grow in length until puberty. After puberty neither an endogenous hypersection of growth hormones nor an excessive exogenous supply of STH can cause additional growth in the length of the bones. Abnormal size (gigantism) initially goes hand in hand with remarkable body strength and muscular hardness in the afflicted; later, if left untreated, it ends in weakness and death. Again, this is only possible in pre-pubescent humans who also suffer from an inadequate gonadal function (hypogonadism). Humans who suffer from an endogenous hypersecrehon after puberty and whose normal growth is completed can also suffer from acromegaly.

Bones become wider but not longer. There is a progressive growth in the hands and feet and enlargement of features due to the growth of the lower jaw and nose. What the authorities like to do now is to present extreme cases of athletes suffering from these malfunctions in order to discourage others and to drum into athletes the fact that with the exogenous supply of growth hormones they would suffer the same destiny. This, however, is very unlikely, as reality has proven. Among the numerous athletes using STH comparatively few are seven feet tall Neanderthalers with a protruded lower jaw, deformed skull, claw like hands, thick lips, and prominent
bone plates who walk around in size 25 shoes. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, we do not want to disguise the possible risks of exogenous STH use in adults and healthy humans, but one should at least try to be openminded. Acromegaly, diabpetes, thyroid insuficiency, heart muscle hypertrophy, high blood ressure, and enlargement of the kidneys are theoretically possible if STH is used excessively over prolonged periods of time; however, in reality and particularly when it comes to the external attributes, these are rarely present. Some athletes report headaches, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances during the first weeks

of intake. These symptoms disappear in most cases even with continued intake. The most common problems with STH occur when the athlete intends to inject insulin in addition to STH. The substance somatropin is available as a dried powder and before injecting it must be mixed with the enclosed solution-containing ampule. The ready solution must be injected immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. It is usually recommended that the compound be stored in the refrigerator. With the exception of the remedy Saizen the biological activity of growth hormones is usually not impaired when storing the dry substance at 15-25 C (room
temperature); however, a cooler place (2-8° C) is preferable. It is noted that for the U.S.-American growth hormones compounds, the substance content is not given in I.U.(International Units) but in mg (milligrams). Since l mg corresponds to exactly 2.7 I.U. the 5mg solution of the compound Humatrope by Lilly contains exactl 13.5 I.U. of Somatropin. The 10 mg solution of the Protropin compound by the Genentech therefore contains 27 I.U. of Somatropin. In American powerlifting and bodybuilding circles Humatrope is usually preferred over Protropin. The reason is that Humatrope is synthesized from a chain of 191 amino acids and thus is

identical to the amino acid sequence of the human growth hormones. Protropin, on the other hand, consists of 192 amino acids, one amino acid too many. This might be the explanation for why more antibodies are developed with Protropin than with Humatrope. Growth hormones are on the doping list but they are not yet detectable during doping tests.

Athletes whose liver values strongly increase when taking anabolic steroids but who still do not want to give up their use, under periodical supervision of these values, can go ahead and try a stack of Primobolan Depot, Deca Durabolin, and Andriol. A well-known bodybuilder in Germany who had already

won several national titles has admitted that his liver was damaged by his too frequent use of the 17-alpha alkylated steroids Dianabol (D-bol), Anadrol (at the time still Plenastril), and Anavar. He was,however, able to bring his body back to national championship level by taking 200 mg Primobolan Depot/week, 400 mg Deca Durabolin/week, and 240 mg Andriol/day, without a negative effect on the liver values.

Stanozolol does aromatize and water retention uncommon. It promotes muscle hardness and strength without a substantial increase in body mass. It is ideally suited for low calorie diets

and contest preparation. The compound is very safe and has few side effects, however, the oral version can lead to some typical side effects like acne, increased sex drive, and moderate liver stress, mostly due to the fact that high dosages are sometimes used.

There is no research to site on exactly what dosage would be the most appropriate for a steroid user. Logic woul dictate that the typically prescribed amount of Proscar / Propecia, a single 1mg tablet per day, would most likely be sufficient. In clinical trials the effect of just a single tablet is clearly dramatic. But if after a while

the androgenic content of the cycle is still perceived as too high, increasing the number of tablets of Propecia per day or perhaps switching to the stronger Proscar (5mg tablet) may be necessary. This is also a relatively expensive compound, so it can become quite costly as the dosage of Proscar / Propecia increases, it is probably best to keep the dosage of Proscar at the lowest effective amount. Cost may not be the only basis for such a decision, as DHT is believed to affect the nervous & reproductive system in many beneficial ways. By minimizing this conversion we not only face the possibility of interference with sexual functioning,

but might also be inadvertently lessening the level of strength gained during testosterone therapy (this being tied to the actions of DHT on the neuromuscular system). A "use only when necessary" position should likewise be taken in regard to Proscar.

The injectable version often gives more results. In similar doses there is still more breakdown upon first pass in the liver, making it difficult to get an equal amount absorbed. And on top of that it has to be mentioned that most people simply don't take an equal amount. Too many pills, lesser availability, higher cost. Many factors play a role in that. But of course an

oral is to be preferred over daily injections as that gives the necessary complications as well. Think of abscesses and lumps, the searching for new injection sites due to pain and so on. Some have solved this problem by simply drinking the Winny injections. It's the same substance, also methylated to withstand the liver, the availability and price are better and its contained in water. So there really aren't many objections to this.

Better results can usually be obtained with Clenbuterol without influencing the hormone system. Those who believe that in the "steroid free time" they must still take some "stuff" to bridge the usages

should inject the long acting Testosterone enanthate (e.g. Testoviron Depot 250mg/ml) every two to three weeks.

For the bodybuilder, the water retention that goes hand in hand with Testosterone enanthate cuts both ways. Certainly, one gets rapidly massive and strong; however, one's reflected image after a few weeks often shows completely flat, watery, and puffy muscles. The muscles appear as if they have been pumped up with air to new dimensions, yet during flexing nothing happens. Those who do not believe this should bother to go visit the so-called "bodybuilding champions" during the OFF-season when these exaggerated quantities

of "Testo" come in. A look at the now defunct bodybuilding magazine WBF makes it even clearer. An additional problem when taking Testosterone enanthate is that the conversion rate to estrogen is very high. This, oil one hand, leads the body lo store more fat; on the other hand, feminization symptoms (gynecomastia) are not unusual. However, it must be clearly stated that this depends on the athlete's predisposition. By all means, there are athletes who even with 1000 mg+/week do not show feminization symptoms or fat deposits and who suffer very low water retention. Others, however, develop pain in their nipples by simply looking at a

Testoviron-Depot ampule. Yet the additional intake of Nolvadex and Proviron should be considered at a dosage level of 1000 mg+/week. As already mentioned, Testo is effective for everyone, whether a beginner or Mr. Olympia. Testosterone enanthate also strongly promotes the regeneration process. This leads to distinctly shorter overcompensation phases, an increased feeling of well-being, and a distinct energy increase. This is also the reason why several athletes are able to work out twice daily for several hours six times a week and continue to build up mass and strength. Those who can work out again ,two hours after a hard leg workout know that
testo works. Athletes who take Testosterone enanthate report an excessively strong pump effect during training. This "steroid pump" is attributed lo an increased blood volume with a higher oxygen supply and a higher quantity of red blood cells. Those who take mega doses of Testosterone enanthate will already feel an enormous pump in their upper thighs and calves when climbing stairs. Despite this we recommend that steroid novices stay away from all testosterone compounds. To make it very clear: Those who have never taken steroids do not yet need any testosterone and should wait until later when the "weaker" steroids begin to have little
effect. For the more advanced, Testosterone enanthate can either be taken alone or in combination with oilier compounds.

Patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction, stroke, or life-threatening arrhythmia within the last 6 months, patients with resting hypotension or hypertension, patients with cardiac failure or coronary artery disease and patients with retinitis pigmentosa should use Viagra with great caution.

Viagra tablets. Each Viagra tablet contains 100 mg. sildenafil citrate. Viagra comes in packs of 4 tablets and is manufactured by Pfizer.

Athletes also find that the injectable version is far superior

to the oral. Dosages range from 3-5 ccs per week for men, 1-2 ccs in women. Oral dosages are usually in the area of 16-30 mg per day for men, 4-8 mg for women.

Keep stanozolol in a tightly closed container and out of reach of children. Store stanozolol at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).

Because of the high peak doses and the extreme amounts used, the characteristics tend to become more pronounced as well. The muscle gain is usually accompanied by severe bloat and water retention, some adipose storage and the risk of gyno is never too far off. Being a very androgenic component

as well, suspension may aggravate male pattern hair loss, cause prostate hypertrophy, increase body and facial hair, deepen the voice and so forth, quite easily, in comparison to other steroids. These all need to be taken into account. Despite its controllable nature and short frame of action, suspension is mostly used for bulking purposes. Even with concomitant use of Proviron, some water retention can still occur. Perhaps due to the extreme doses used.

Diazepam can cause physical and psychological dependence, and should be used with extreme caution in patients with known, suspected, or a history of substance abuse.

Among

the most significant differences of synthetic AAS compared to testosterone is that they may avoid either or both of these enzymatic conversions. Another difference results from the fact that not all activity caused by androgens is mediated by the androgen receptor, and not all AAS are comparably effective in these other activities.

Anadrol 50 © is considered by many to be the most powerful steroid available, with results of this compound being extremely dramatic. A steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain 20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and it can often be accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only one

or two tablets per day. This steroid produces a lot of trouble with water retention, so let there be little doubt that much of this gain is simply bloat. But for the user this is often little consequence, feeling bigger and stronger on Anadrol 50 than any steroid they are likely to cross. Although the smooth look that results from water retention is often not attractive, it can aid quite a bit to the level of size and strength gained. The muscle is fuller, will contract better and is provided a level of protection in the form of "lubrication" to the joints as some of this extra water is held into and around connective tissues. This will allow
for more elasticity, and will hopefully decrease the chance for injury when lifting heavy. It should be noted however, that on the other hand the very rapid gain in mass might place too much stress on your connective tissues for this to compensate. The tearing of pectoral and biceps tissue is commonly associated with heavy lifting while massing up on heavy androgens. There is such a thing as gaining too fast. Pronounced estrogen trouble also puts the user at risk for developing gynecomastia. Individuals sensitive to the effects of estrogen, or looking to retain a more quality look, will therefore often add Nolvadex to each cycle.

Teslac (testolactone)

Teslac is one of the very first drugs approved by the FDA to fight estrogen-dependant breast cancer, back in 1970. It does this by possibly inhibiting the aromatase enzyme in what appears to be both a noncompetitive and an irreversible manner.

I have to admit, when I first went to research this compound, I had thought I was researching a useless old Anti-Estrogen. I took a quick look at it´s chemical structure, and realized that it was actually an anabolic-steroid! Oddly, it´s D-ring (usually pictured as the upper-right hand ring in models) is a weird 6 memberes lactone ring, instead of the usual 5 ring one that testosterone has. SO& now I know it´s an anabolic steroid& but what kind? And what would it do? Primarily, it´s an Anabolic Steroid which has made it´s claim to fame by being used primarily for it´s antiestrogenic effects (much like proviron), and I think that it´s been wrongly assumed to be simply an antiestrogen by many athletes. This is not the case, and as you´ll soon see, there´s really no reason why this stuff has been pushed out of use by bodybuilders and athletes for the last decade.

The first study I looked at (1) showed that Teslac increases testosterone (by 47%) and it´s precursor androstenedione (70%) levels in the body. In the second study I looked at, it raised testosterone levels in men up to 290ng/dl (almost enough to bring you from 0 test to the lowest end of normal/acceptable range), as well as raising LH (leutenizing hormone) levels, and even FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) levels slightly (2). So as you can see, not only is this stuff not suppressive of your natural hormones, it actually stimulates your body to produce more testosterone as well as the hormones which produce it.(2) As for it´s ability to halt aromatization, it has been shown to reduce it by 90-95%, with regards to decrease in the overall rate, in some instances (7). In another third study, Aromatase inhibition by testolactone, at a dose of 500 mg twice daily (so a total of 1,000mgs/day) for 4 weeks lowered circulating estradiol (E2) levels by roughly 1/3rd and enhanced the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and testosterone by approximately the same amount (1/3rd each)(6). Basically, we´re looking at pretty decent reductions in both aromatization, as well as reduction in total estrogen floating around your body. So far, we have seen that, in different studies it has been shown to increase LH as well as FSH, respectively, and in addition it raises testosterone levels and lowers estrogen levels in all of the studies we´ve examined. Raising FSH, LH, and testosterone while lowering estrogen is a pretty good deal considering most steroids lower endogenous (natural) production of the first three, and raise estrogen.

In fact, I´ll go so far as to say that if you don´t want to do any shots (injections) during your Post-Cycle-Therapy (PCT), Teslac may be perfect for you, since it will raise LH as well as HCG in most cases! And it has the added benefit of not desensitizing your leydig cells as much as HCG has the potential to do. Another important benefit of using Teslac over HCG during your PCT is that HCG actually may raise estrogen levels and/or act as an estrogen in certain tissues (8) (9), while we know that Teslac lowers estrogen levels and acts as (of course) an androgen.

This means, of course, if you are one of those people who are inclined to bridge (use a low dose of an anabolic compound between higher dose cycles), then this is perfect for you. In addition, you´ll be able to use Teslac during a cycle as an ancillary compound which will eliminate aromatasation.

Possibly the most exciting thing I read about Teslac is that it has been PROVEN (!) to be an effective and safe treatment for Gynocomastia(3) (development of breasts in male mammary glands& often ineloquently referred to as "bitch tits" in gym-speak). So yeah, if you get a bit of Gyno on a cycle, you may want to include Teslac in your PCT for both the (very good) reasons I revealed above, as well as it´s potential to treat your gyno.

The only prohibitive thing about Teslac is cost. Currently, I don´t know of any online pharmacies who carry it,nor UG Labs& and it generally sells for anywhere between a dollar and $5 for a 250mg tab. If there´s anything preventing this stuff from becoming the "must have" drug for PCT overnight, it´s the cost.
