Bolazine is an anabolic steroid that was developed in the 1960s. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is known for its muscle-building properties. Bolazine is often used in the field of bodybuilding and athletics to enhance muscle mass and strength.

Chemical Structure

Bolazine is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) that is structurally related to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is a dimer of dihydrotestosterone, meaning it consists of two DHT molecules linked together. This unique structure is believed to contribute to its potent anabolic effects.

Mechanism of Action

Bolazine works by binding to androgen receptors in the body, which leads to an increase in protein synthesis and a decrease in protein degradation. This results in an overall increase in muscle mass and strength. Like other anabolic steroids, Bolazine also has the potential to increase red blood cell production, which can improve endurance and recovery times.

Medical Uses

Bolazine was initially developed for medical purposes, including the treatment of muscle wasting diseases and osteoporosis. However, due to its potent anabolic effects and potential for abuse, it is not commonly used in modern medical practice.

Side Effects

The use of Bolazine, like other anabolic steroids, can lead to a range of side effects. These may include:

Legal Status

The legal status of Bolazine varies by country. In many places, it is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and adverse health effects. It is important to check local regulations before considering the use of Bolazine.
