Important! We do not advocate for the use of steroids and other potent substances. All information is provided so that those who still decide to take them can do so with minimal health risks.

After several years of regular AAS use, I have formed a certain opinion about the most popular anabolic manufacturers. I want to share this with the people visiting this site. I hope to assist, primarily, newcomers. Those who are taking their first steps in the process of chemical enhancement often get completely lost when choosing a particular manufacturer. And they frequently make mistakes. Alas...

I consider it necessary to note the fact that everything described below is based on my practical experience. That is to say, I have tried it on myself. Accordingly, this information is just my personal experience and nothing more. Although several of my close friends completely share my position.

This article exclusively concerns original products. Everything produced in the basement of Aunt Mota and Uncle Vasya is a counterfeit of the original. It is very easy and simple to fall for such scams. The only way to protect oneself (at least somewhat) from purchasing such trash is to buy steroids from a reputable dealer who is vigilant about their reputation.

By the way, some might say that there are working fakes. That’s true. But usually, fake vials and blister packs contain the cheapest substances disguised as more expensive ones. For instance, instead of Methenolone Enanthate or Boldenone, you might receive testosterone in a very low concentration. Or Methyltestosterone instead of Methandienone, or Turinabol. And it's lucky if it’s only that; home brews often contain additional impurities and unrefined residues—stuff that’s not filtered from foreign materials. And that can lead to various health issues.

Review of Manufacturers

ALPHA (India) - very high quality across all products. This is explained by the official standing of the manufacturer. However, the price is also impressive in a not-so-positive way. But let's be honest. Good things cannot be cheap. 10 out of 10.

RADJAY (India) – I just learned today that they are indeed Indian. I have to admit - their steroids are just incredibly effective. Both the pills and the injections. When choosing injectable Methandienone, it makes sense to trust them specifically. 9 out of 10.

ABURAIHAN (Iran) - have been around for a long time and are always at a decent level. Testosterone Propionate is the best (in my opinion). But it hurts, damn it. But wow, how it works! 8 out of 10.

ZHENGZHOU (China) – is found very rarely and produces pills; I have not encountered their injections. I tried their Turinabol and Stanozolol - they are good. If they are judged, then it’s 8 out of 10.

BALKAN (Moldova). Everything I have taken has been excellent. I wasn't very impressed with Oxymetholone - but it definitely works! 8 out of 10.

VERMODJE (Moldova) - well, who doesn’t know Verka? Only the most hardened naturals). Consistently good quality for a mid-range product (they cheated once, the bastards, but that’s in the past). And their trenbolones are really fire! Rumor has it that they (like all budget producers, by the way) produce tren from Revalor (a veterinary steroid containing estradiol along with trenbolone). So, I personally gave tests and did not find any estradiol from outside. 7 out of 10.

PHARMAKOM LABS (Moldova) - a decent option, a solid mid-tier, so to speak. However, their drostanolone propionate (Masteron) didn’t sit well with me at all. However, Anastrozole is one of the most powerful. Generally, all their pills are good. 7 out of 10.

GOLDEN DRAGON (China) - good Chinese products. I won’t lie; I haven’t tried everything. But the ones I tried work fine. Their injectable substances have an extremely mild oil (doesn't tear up your butt, if you didn’t understand). 7 out of 10.

SP LABS (Moldova) - to be honest, I only really liked the testosterone, nandrolone, and drostanolone. Trenbolone definitely contains the active substances stated on the vial. However, in my opinion, it's a bit too weak. I don't know if it was due to underfilling or production technique violations - but the fact remains. I didn’t feel their boldenone at all. 6 out of 10.

BRITISH DRAGON (Thailand/Malaysia) - the quality was top-notch in its time. Nowadays (from trustworthy sources), originals are not found in Russia or Ukraine. I advise against purchasing. I won’t evaluate it, as I haven’t held their actual products in a long time.

Note from Timko Ilya: I bought BRITISH DRAGON (Ukraine) last year - a complete disaster. And you won’t find the original. So I join the author - don’t buy it.

BM PHARMA (India) - I got my first two abscesses from their testosterone. You understand - I didn’t use it again. Now, they say their quality is very good. And the abscesses could be an individual reaction of my body. In short, I don’t use them. You decide for yourself. I won’t evaluate it either.

LYKA LABS and MALAY TIGER (India and Malaysia) – I wrote them together because I’m sure there’s no real Asian quality involved. They simply crank them out in a basement, I feel it in my bones. Outrageously low product quality. You can’t say that they don’t work at all, but they are definitely the worst of all mentioned above. I won’t evaluate them because there’s nothing to evaluate.

NORMA HELLAS, ORGANON, SHERING, BAYER, DESMA - longstanding reputable companies. If there is exact information about authenticity - buy without hesitation. However, I seriously doubt that ordinary mortals will really manage to acquire that very original. Not one of you? Then prefer the Moldovans - not top grade, but at least functional and safe. Relatively speaking.

In Conclusion

I’m very disappointed with the modern injectable Stanozolol. Not in terms of efficacy (it works fine with normal manufacturers). It’s just that it is very painful when injected into the glutes and suspiciously often provokes abscesses. I’m comparing this to Spanish Winstrol from ZAMBON. That was the gold standard of quality. By the way, you can’t get the original today.

Even more disappointing is Methenolone Enanthate (Primobolan). Stanozolol can be quite a demon, and you can do without it, but Primobolan is the safest anabolic agent among all testosterone-based products. It should definitely be an addition to testosterone in a beginner's first serious mass gain cycle. Methenolone has one characteristic by which this anabolic is identified. The oil it’s dissolved in is ALWAYS very harsh. Its injections are painful and felt for 3-5 days after the injection. So far, I have never observed such an effect with modern Primobolans. Only the Turkish Primobolan Depot (Schering) really impressed me. But where can you find the original? The current ones are just not in the same league as it was.

Well, that’s probably all the main points. Many other companies remain outside my narrative. Well, I apologize. First, I haven’t tried them. Second, I’m convinced that everything good has already been tested. And third, I’ve provided guidance on the main manufacturers. I really hope that my humble knowledge will be useful to someone.
