Developed in the 1960s by Jenapharm (now owned by the
Schering Group),
Turanabol is an oral steroid which shows low androgenic effect but high anabolic activity.
Turanabol, sometimes called OT (for Oral
Turanabol) or
T-bol,
acquires a grade of 6 on the androgenic sides while a score of 53 on
anabolic activity based on a scale of 1 to 100. It is often compared
with
Dianabol and
D-bol gets a grade of 45 in androgenic effects and 90 for anabolic.
Turanabol is described as a ‘clean’ bulking steroid. Many bodybuilders consider this steroid as a cross between
D-bol and Anavar and they say that you can get great bodybuilding rewards with Turanabol without disadvantages associated with both
D-bol and
Anavar.
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone,
the generic chemical compound of Turanabol, does not aromatize, and for
bodybuilders like you are highly sensitive to estrogenic side effects
this is great news. Turanabol has the 4-chloro alteration that prevents
it from interacting with the aromatase enzyme. As such, it is thought
of as a better alternative to
D-bol
since you can have denser and leaner muscle gains from Turanabol. D-bol
exhibits estrogenic activity, thus watery gains sometimes result and
anti-estrogens like Nolvadex or Clomid are often necessary when you use
D-bol. Meanwhile, if you’re to compare it with a non-aromatizable agent like
Anavar, actual weight gain with Turanabol is more significant. Like Turanabol, Anavar also delivers dry and lean muscle mass gains.
Another positive point of
Turanabol
is that it does not interact with 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This is a
very ideal property of synthetic steroids because this means that they
don’t convert to DHT. Time and again, as you explore the bodybuilding
possibilities of steroids, you’d encounter the initials “DHT”. DHT
stands for dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that is three to five times
more potent than testosterone. All you need to know about
DHT
is that it is an undesirable hormone as far as steroid-induced
bodybuilding is concerned. DHT is behind the occurrence of hair loss
and acne breakouts in steroid users; these problems are more pronounced
when you go extreme with dosage volume.
If you’re an athlete,
perhaps the most attractive characteristic of Turanabol for you is its
fast excretion. Turanabol is easily broken down by the body so
detection is not a problem with this compound. If you’re taking the
recommended dosage of
Turanabol,
five days after discontinuance is what it takes to get you pass
testing. A higher intake may yield different results, of course.
Turanabol is a c-17 alpha-alkylated compound, another reason why you
need to follow the intake advice of this drug. Although c-17 aa
alteration improves the bioavailabilty of the drug – it survives the
first pass metabolism – it causes stress on the liver. To avoid health
issues, you must have your liver functions checked regularly.
The
effective dosage of Turanabol is 20mg per day and cycle duration should
be for six weeks only. Professional bodybuilders, on the other hand,
practice higher intake with around 40mg-50mg per day. Women who take
only 15mg of Turanabol daily report good results with minimal or no
androgenic side effects.
