Drostanolone propionate
Drostanolone Propionate (pronunciation: droh-stah-noh-lohn proh-pee-oh-nayt) is a synthetic derivative of dihydrotestosterone, providing the user with a more direct approach for increasing lean body mass minus the extreme water retention and fat gain.
Etymology
The term "Drostanolone" is derived from Dromostanolone, a modified form of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), with the addition of a 2-methyl group. "Propionate" refers to the propionic acid ester, which is responsible for the slow release of the hormone into the body after injection.
Pharmacology
Drostanolone Propionate is a anabolic steroid that is commonly known by the brand name Masteron. It is designed to treat breast cancer patients by inhibiting the production of estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer growth. However, it is more commonly used by bodybuilders and athletes for cutting and bulking cycles.
Usage
Drostanolone Propionate is used primarily by athletes and bodybuilders during cutting cycles, as it can help to increase muscle hardness and density, giving an individual a more complete appearance when competing on stage. It is also used during bulking cycles, as its anti-estrogenic properties can help to prevent the bloating and fat gain often associated with other steroids.
Side Effects
Like all anabolic steroids, Drostanolone Propionate can have significant side effects, including androgenic effects like acne, hair loss, and body hair growth, as well as cardiovascular effects like increased blood pressure and negative impacts on cholesterol levels. It can also have endocrine effects, suppressing natural testosterone production.
Legal Status
In many countries, Drostanolone Propionate is classified as a controlled substance, meaning it is illegal to use or possess without a prescription. In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
