Description
Drostanolone, commonly known as Masteron, exhibits high androgenic and moderate anabolic effects. Unlike many other steroids, Drostanolone does not aromatize in the body, making it a mild aromatase inhibitor. It shares similarities with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as a derivative of this hormone.
In medical settings, Drostanolone was previously used to treat breast cancer in women. However, due to the high risk of virilization, its usage is now rare. Drostanolone is not susceptible to aromatase action, meaning it cannot convert to estradiol.
Drostanolone has a strong affinity for androgen receptors not only in muscles but also in the prostate and scalp. This may result in potential side effects such as baldness, prostate enlargement, and increased body hair. As a DHT derivative, it inhibits the activity of estradiol in tissues, exhibiting indirect anti-estrogenic activity.
A psychological effect noted with this drug is an increased "motivational drive" during training, which is particularly beneficial for athletes on cutting diets experiencing reduced strength and carbohydrate depletion.
Drostanolone is popular among bodybuilders as it does not cause fluid retention and has a mild diuretic effect, leading to improved muscle definition. It is often used by athletes seeking enhanced muscle hardness and density, particularly before competitions. Additionally, it has a fat-burning effect and can reduce fat mass by approximately 5-10% compared to the initial state.
Although Drostanolone has a lower anabolic index compared to testosterone, its fat-burning properties are significant. However, it also increases the risk of androgenic side effects such as aggression, acne, baldness, prostate hypertrophy, and virilization in women.
Dosage
An optimal effect of the drug is typically achieved with a dosage range of 300-500 mg per week. Individuals on hormone replacement therapy may use Drostanolone to reduce sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), thereby increasing free testosterone levels. For this purpose, a dosage of 75-200 mg per week is recommended. It is worth noting that Drostanolone is believed to be less detectable in doping control compared to other steroids, although detection methods are continually improving.
