• Dramatic Nitrogen Retention
Keeps muscle tissue in a constant anabolic state.
• Enhanced Glycogenolysis
Dramatically increases strength and muscle fullness.
• Rapid Strength Spikes
Noticeable power increases within 48-72 hours.
• Protein Synthesis Acceleration
Fast-tracks recovery of damaged muscle fibers.
• 17-aa Methylation
Orally active; survives first-pass liver metabolism.
• Pulse-Dosing Required
Short half-life (3-6h) requires split daily doses.
• Kickstart Protocol
Commonly used in first 4-6 weeks of an injectable cycle.
• Bioavailability
High absorption rate when taken on an empty stomach.

Dianabol has a 4-6 hour half-life. To maintain Peak Serum Concentration, split the daily dose into 3-4 administrations.
The 17-alpha-alkylation allows survival through the first liver pass, but creates significant Hepatocyte Strain.
Dianabol aromatizes into 17α-methylestradiol, which is far more potent than regular estradiol. An AI is usually mandatory.
