Methylstenbolone

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Methylstenbolone is a prohormone that is used in the bodybuilding community for its muscle-building properties. It is a derivative of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a more potent form of testosterone. Methylstenbolone is also known as M-Sten or Methyl Sten.

Etymology

The term "Methylstenbolone" is derived from its chemical structure. "Methyl" refers to the addition of a methyl group (CH3) to the stenbolone molecule, which increases its bioavailability and resistance to breakdown in the liver.

Pharmacology

Methylstenbolone is a prohormone, which means it is a precursor to a hormone. In the body, it is converted into an active hormone that has anabolic (muscle-building) effects. It is a derivative of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a more potent form of testosterone. This makes Methylstenbolone a powerful muscle builder.

Usage

Methylstenbolone is used in the bodybuilding community for its muscle-building properties. It is often used in a "cycle" with other substances to maximize muscle growth and minimize side effects. However, it is important to note that the use of Methylstenbolone and other prohormones can have serious health risks, including liver damage and increased risk of heart disease.

Side Effects

The use of Methylstenbolone can have several side effects, including liver damage, increased risk of heart disease, aggression, acne, hair loss, and gynecomastia (enlargement of male breasts). It is also suppressive to natural testosterone production, which can lead to decreased libido and erectile dysfunction.

Legal Status

In many countries, including the United States, Methylstenbolone is classified as a controlled substance and its sale and use are illegal. However, it is still available in some countries and can be purchased online.
