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. When engaging in bodybuilding or simply building a beautiful athletic body, sooner or later everyone familiar with the world of anabolic steroids faces the problem of aromatization. Aromatization is a chemical reaction that converts testosterone into estradiol. Aromatization is not always bad. Due to it, some drugs, such as long-ester testosterone and metandienone, show their capabilities because of this property, thus providing an increase in volume and strength. But this is all at a normal level of estrogens in the blood. As soon as the ratio of testosterone to estradiol is disrupted, which is inevitable when using high doses of aromatizing anabolic steroids (such as metandienone, nandrolone ester, testosterone), the athlete begins to accumulate fat in a female pattern in the abdominal area. They also accumulate excess water and lose strength. But the most unpleasant thing is the increased risk of seeing a fairly feminine chest in the mirror. This process is called gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a benign enlargement of breast (mammary) tissue in men. To address these issues and reduce the risk of aromatization, there is a whole group of such drugs in pharmacology, known as anti-estrogens. Let's examine one of them - Proviron. Description of ProvironProviron is a hormonal drug that acts as an estrogen blocker and has no anabolic properties. The active chemical substance in the drug is mestanolone. Mestanolone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, which means it is an androgen. It exerts a binding effect on globulin. It binds sex hormones that enter the bloodstream from the liver. Estrogens stimulate their production, while testosterone suppresses it. The drug is prescribed for:
Properties of ProvironProviron exhibits the following properties:
Application1. During a steroid cycle with androgenic and anabolic activity, such as: testosterone enanthate, methandrosternolone, nandrolone decanoate, sustanon. 2. During a low-carbohydrate diet to maintain muscle volume and hardness. 3. At the end of a course of anabolic steroids to reduce and eliminate side effects. Doses and Duration of UseThe average dosage ranges from 25-100 mg per day. 50 mg of Proviron per day is quite sufficient (25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening). The duration of the course should not exceed 30 days. Side EffectsProviron is not 17-alpha alkylated, so it cannot negatively affect liver parameters. A dosage of 25-100 mg per day is not likely to cause any side effects:
Combination with Other PreparationsProviron is often used with Tamoxifen (50 mg of Proviron and 20 mg of Tamoxifen per day). With this usage, there is almost complete suppression of estrogens. In pre-competition preparation, Proviron is used with Winstrol, oxandrolone, and Primobolan. Forms of Release and Trade Names
ConclusionThe drug does not affect the production of endogenous testosterone but eliminates disorders caused by a deficiency of testosterone. What is important for us is that Proviron is an estrogen antagonist. The drug is indispensable during PCT (post-cycle therapy) and is an excellent aid in combating side effects and gynecomastia.
