Substance: chlordehydromethyltestosterone
Oral-Turinabol is an oral steroid which was
developed during the early 1960's.
OT has a predominantly anabolic effect which is combined with a
relatively low androgenic component. On a scale of 1 to 100 the
androgenic effect is very low -only a 6- and the anabolic effect is 53.
(In comparison: the androgenic effect of Dianabol is 45 and its anabolic
effect is 90.) Oral-Turinabol thus has milligram for milli-gram a lower
effect than Dianabol. It is therefore not a steroid that causes a rapid
gain in strength, weight, and muscle mass. Rather, the achievable
results manifest themselves in a solid muscle gain and, if taken over
several weeks, also in a good strength gain. The athlete will certainly
not get a puffy look as is the case with Test-osterone, Dianabol, and
Anadrol 50. The maximum blood concen-tration of Oral-Turinabol when
taking 10, 20 or 40 mg/day is 1.5 -3.5 or 4.5 times the endogenous
testosterone concentration (also see Dianabol). This clearly shows that
the effectiveness of this compound strongly depends on the dosage.
0.4 x pound (body weight) x days = number of tablets to take overall
during the interval of intake
mg / tablet
An athlete weighing 200 pounds would take only 4 tablets of 5 mg (20mg/day.)
In our experience bodybuilders take 8-10 tablets of 5 mg, that is 40-50
mg/day. Many enthusiastically report good results with this dosage: one
builds a solid muscle mass, the strength gain is worthwhile seeing, the
water retention is very low, and the estrogen-caused side effects are
rare. Not without good reason OT is also popular among powerlifters and
weightlifters who appreciate these characteristics.
Due to its characteristics OT is also a suitable steroid both for men
and women in competitions. A usually very effective stack for male
bodybuilders consists of 50 mg OT/day, 228 mg Parabolan/week, and 150 mg
Winstrol Depot/week. Those who have brought their body fat content to a
low level by dieting and/or by using fatburning substances (e.g.
Clenbuterol, Ephedrine, Salbutamol, Cytomel, Triacana), will find that
the above steroid combination will manifest itself in hard,
sharply-defined but still dense and full muscles. No enlarged breasts,
no estrogen surplus, and no watery, puffy-look-ing muscle system. If OT
were available on the U.S. black market for steroids, bodybuilders,
powerlifters, and weightlifters would go crazy for this East German
anabolic.
OT enjoys a great popularity since it is quickly broken down by the body
and the metabolites are excreted relatively quickly through the urine.
The often-posed question regarding how many days before a test OT can be
taken in order to be "clean" is difficult to answer
specifically or in general. We know from a reli-able source that
athletes who only take OT as a steroid and who, in part, take dosages of
10- 15 tablets/day, have discontinued the com-pound exactly five days
before a doping test and tested negative. These indications are
supported by the fact that even positive urine analyses have rarely
mentioned the names Oral-Turinabol or chlordehydromethyl-testosterone.
The potential side effects of OT usually depend on the dosage level and
are gender-specific. in women, depending on their predisposi-tion, the
usual virilization symptoms occur and increase when dos-ages of more
than 20 mg per day are taken over a prolonged time. In men the already
discussed reduced testosterone production can rarely be avoided.
Gynecomastia occurs rarely with OT Since the response of the water and
electrolyte household is not overly dis-tinct athletes only rarely
report water retention and high blood pressure. Acne, gastrointestinal
pain, and uncontrolled aggressive behavior are also the exception rather
than the rule with OT An increased libido is reported in most cases by
both sexes. Since the substance chlordehydromethyltestosterone is I
7-alpha alkylated the manufacturer in its package insert recommends that
the liver func-tion be checked regularly since it can be negatively
affected by high dosages and the risk of possible liver damage cannot be
excluded. Thus OT is also a steroid that can be taken without
interruption for long intervals. Studies of male athletes who over a
period of six weeks were given 10 mg OT/day did not show any indications
of health-threatening effects.
The availability of OT is extremely poor. There is no chance finding an
original Oral-Turinabol tablet in the U.S.
