Dianabol Guide
The Anabolic Catalyst
Dianabol is the legendary "Breakfast of Champions," specifically engineered to enhance nitrogen retention and facilitate massive glycogen storage. As a 17-alpha-alkylated oral compound, it bypasses liver filtration to deliver rapid, supraphysiological strength gains.

False Intelligence
"Orals are safer because there are no needles."
Biological RealityDianabol is **C17-Alpha Alkylated**. To survive digestion, it is chemically armored, forcing the liver to process it multiple times. This creates **intrahepatic cholestasis**, causing more internal damage than many injectable oils.
Common Fallacy
"The 10lbs I gained in 2 weeks is pure muscle."
Biological RealityDianabol causes massive **Intracellular Water Retention**. Most "weight" gained is glycogen and fluid stored in the sarcoplasm. Once the cycle ends and estrogen drops, up to **60-70% of that weight vanishes** instantly.

Critical Mechanism: Sarcoplasmic Expansion
Dianabol operates via massive nitrogen retention and a drastic increase in glycogen synthesis. While lean tissue is built, the primary "visual" gain is **Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy** (fluid inside the muscle). Failure to maintain a **High Potassium/Low Sodium** ratio during this protocol will result in severe hypertension and left ventricular strain.

Half-Life Strategy

Dianabol has a 4-6 hour half-life. To maintain Peak Serum Concentration, split the daily dose into 3-4 administrations.

Methylation Impact

The 17-alpha-alkylation allows survival through the first liver pass, but creates significant Hepatocyte Strain.

Estrogen Spike

Dianabol aromatizes into 17α-methylestradiol, which is far more potent than regular estradiol. An AI is usually mandatory.

Critical AlertBlood Pressure & Hypervolemia
Dianabol causes rapid sodium and water retention via its conversion to **17$\alpha$-methylestradiol**. This increases total blood volume, forcing the heart to pump harder. Chronic use without monitoring can lead to **Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH)**. Maintain blood pressure below **130/80 mmHg** using telmisartan or lifestyle modification.

POST-ANALYSIS VERDICT
Classification: Hepatotoxic Oral Agent
Extreme Risk Profile
The C17-α Alkylation Penalty
Dianabol is structurally modified to survive the **First-Pass Metabolism**. While this allows for oral bioavailability, it forces the liver to process a compound it cannot easily break down. This creates a state of **Oxidative Stress** that can lead to Peliosis Hepatis or Cholestatic Jaundice if used beyond the 6-week safety threshold.
The Hypervolemia Trap
Unlike pure testosterone, Dbol converts into **17α-methylestradiol**. This isomer is resistant to conventional Aromatase Inhibitors and causes aggressive intracellular water retention. The resulting **Hypertension** (High Blood Pressure) is often the silent catalyst for Left Ventricular Hypertrophy during high-dose cycles.
Mandatory Forensic
Safety Notice
// HEPATIC INTEGRITYPersistent use of 17-alpha-alkylated steroids is correlated with malignant liver tumors and hepatic failure. Cycles must be limited to 4-6 weeks maximum.
// LEGAL REPERCUSSIONSMethandrostenolone is a Schedule III controlled substance. Possession without a clinical diagnosis of muscle wasting is a felony offense in multiple jurisdictions.
// UGL CONTAMINATIONUnderground Dbol is frequently cut with Methyltestosterone or contaminated with heavy metals from low-grade synthesis environments.
STOP
SYSTEM LOCKOUTAbsolute Contraindications for Methandrostenolone
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFLD)FATAL RISK
Dbol induces intrahepatic cholestasis. Adding it to a pre-existing fatty liver environment triggers acute liver enzyme spikes (>300 ALT) and potential organ failure.
Stage 1/2 HypertensionVASCULAR CRITICAL
If baseline BP is >130/80, Dbol is a 'Stroke-in-a-bottle'. The rapid sodium retention will push systolic levels into the hypertensive crisis zone (180+).
Gynaecomastia SensitivityENDOCRINE ALERT
Dbol aromatizes into 17-Methylestradiol, which has a higher affinity for breast tissue receptors than standard estrogen. Rapid-onset 'Gyno' is highly likely.
Kidney Filtration IssuesRENAL LOCK
Elevated creatinine or low eGFR (<60) makes Dbol use impossible. The resulting fluid shift places unmanageable hydrostatic pressure on the glomeruli.
🦴
Permanent Stunting: The Growth Plate LockdownDianabol’s high aromatization rate causes an immediate spike in circulating estrogen. For users under 25, this triggers the **irreversible ossification** (closing) of the epiphyseal plates. Once closed, height growth is biologically impossible, regardless of GH levels or nutrition.
