Description
Proviron® is Schering’s (now Bayer’s) brand name for the oral androgen mesterolone
(1-methyldihydrotestosterone). Similar to dihydrotestosterone, mesterolone is a strong androgen with only a weak level of anabolic activity. This is due to the fact that like dihydrotestosterone, mesterolone is rapidly reduced to inactive diol metabolites in muscle tissue where concentrations of the
3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme are high. The belief that the weak anabolic nature of this compound indicates a tendency to block the androgen receptor in muscle tissue, thereby reducing the gains of other more potent muscle-building steroids, should likewise not be taken seriously. In fact, due to its extremely high affinity for plasma binding proteins such as SHBG, mesterolone may actually work to potentate the activity of other steroids by displacing a higher percentage into a free, unbound state. Among athletes, mesterolone is primarily used to increase androgen levels when dieting or preparing for a contest, and as an anti-estrogen due to its intrinsic ability to antagonize the aromatase enzyme.

This and the primo you posted earlier are the two i have considered taking lately.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I wouldn’t use methenolone acetate unless it is in tablet form it has the worst pip of any compound I have ever used plus it crashes constantly.

I would use methenolone enanthate as an injection

I believe that proviron can be used its prescribed in the EU to men regularly

Your “harm reduction” mantra really hit home with me.

As I age I constantly weigh the risk/reward factor…almost to obsession.

It’s fun to talk about adding compounds but in the reality of it; at my age… why. If it isn’t going to give me quality of life with the easiest of effort then I will probably just probably be all talk. Maybe a small…very small experiment every so often but thats it. Who knows, maybe I’ll stumble onto something that works well for me personally.

I’ve been looking at this one a lot lately. Also researching dht derivatives. Very interesting stuff. My big concern is the prostate issues.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I believe that this is a great compound for almost anyone its extremely tolerable and it has positive androgen effects. Its probably better than primo for your health in my opinion.

 

[Poppy]

Brother…you’re not young are you?

 

[Bigmurph6]

There’s a couple different things with androgens and dht that are troubling but there great compounds that do alot of positive things during cycle or even just adding androgenicity back into your life.

 

[Trollus]

I’m 47 poppy so I try to watch my health more like you. I’m still going to have to work another 20 years so I’ve got to stay on my feet.

 

[Trollus]

I may just try a low dose on my try protocol. Experiment, I can always abort mission. What do you think about low dose masteron.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I believe that you should start off with 50mg proviron ed split 25mg 2x a day. If you use an AI talk to your doctor about how to handle that because you don’t want to crash your Estrogen.

If you enjoy that then try mast p then you can cruise with mast e if you are comfortable but remember the stronger the DHT the worse the side effects are going to be

 

[Poppy]

I hear ya brother. Keep up the good fight

 

[Dirtnasty]

Can’t wait to have my hands on some this. Maybe the proviron fairy will be showing at my house soon

 

[Bigmurph6]

are great fitness professionals and they love proviron.

 

[Poppy]

You two are killing me. Blahahaha

 

[Kad1]

Primo is my favorite

@Kad1

Would there be ANY reason for a 60 yo (me) man to use it?

 

[Kad1]

You want to be lean, hard and muscular with little sides?

 

[Kad1]

Only down side is the $$$

 

[NeuroRN]

Have you thought about low dose EQ? It’s well tolerated. You already donate blood regularly, your BP seems controlled if I’m remembering correctly. Haha may cause extra munchies though.

Just a thought.
