CHARACTERISTICS OF BOLDENONE
Injectable synthetic anabolic steroid, a derivative of testosterone, a male sex hormone. In many ways, its structure is similar to methandienone. Boldenone is a methandienone molecule that lacks a 17-alpha-methyl group (this part of the molecule allows methandrostenolone to pass through the liver without being broken down). Strongly stimulates the appetite. It is used in veterinary medicine and bodybuilding. Despite the differences in the physiology of different animals, it perfectly develops muscle mass and accelerates the processes of synthesis.
Boldenone is chemically a testosterone molecule that has a double bond between carbon 1 and 2. This modification made boldenone as potent as testosterone in terms of anabolic properties, while the androgenic properties of the drug are half as pronounced. If we compare the effectiveness of boldenone undecylenate and methandienone, the results obtained in terms of mass gain and strength increase are almost equal. It is produced mainly in the form of ether – undecylenate, therefore it remains in the blood for about 3-4 weeks. New forms of the drug – boldenone acetate and boldenone propionate have the same effects, the difference is only in the duration of action.
BOLDENONE STEROID PROFILE
- Anabolic index – 100%
- Androgenic index – 50%
- Estrogenic activity – low
- Progestin activity – very low
- Liver toxicity – none
BOLDENONE EFFECT
Athletes who take boldenone most often report slow but high quality muscle mass. The slow effect of the drug is associated with a long ester (undesylenate), which binds to the boldenone molecule. Undecylenate is 1 atom longer than decanoate. For this reason, you can expect slower and longer muscle growth during the Boldenone course than during the Nandrolone course. This circumstance also determines the duration of the course, up to 10 weeks.
Like nandrolone, boldenone is determined in the body for a long time, which competitive athletes should remember. The drug increases strength and significantly increases appetite. Boldenone greatly stimulates hematopoiesis. The increase in the number of red blood cells improves the supply of oxygen to the muscles. This makes this steroid appealing to athletes. Practically does not aromatize. Does not cause significant water retention. It has no progestin activity, which means it does not cause libido suppression. In terms of effectiveness, it is comparable to nandrolone decanoate.
BOLDENONE DOSAGE
Galenic form: solution for injection, 10 ml – 200, 300, 400 mg/ml
The optimal dose of boldenone for beginners is 200-400 mg per week (for experienced – 600-1000 mg). Smaller doses are ineffective due to the high weight of the ballast ester “tail”, a larger dose does not lead to better results, but increases the risk of side effects.
The course of Boldenone lasts 8-10 weeks.
INTERACTION WITH BOLDENONE
Boldenone goes well with other steroids: winstrol and anavar – drying course; testosterone and trenbolone – a mass gainer course (in this case, the duration of the course is reduced to 6 weeks, since the combination significantly suppresses the production of its own testosterone, and it is also necessary to take anti-estrogens during the Boldenone It allows to reduce the dose of testosterone, without compromising the anabolic effect, which reduces the internal conversion of steroids to estrogen, as well as the androgenic cycle activity.
SIDE EFFECTS OF BOLDENONE
The low androgenic activity allows the use of Boldenone by women. Virilization phenomena occur very rarely, compared to other drugs. Boldenone is one of the few injectables that can be used in female bodybuilding with the lowest risk of side effects. The same double bond provides Boldenone’s resistance to the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.
This enzyme converts a small amount of boldenone into dihydroboldenone, which is a strong androgen (7 times stronger than testosterone). Therefore, the drug practically does not cause androgenic side effects such as baldness, acne, enlarged prostate, etc., and also suppresses the body’s production of testosterone to a lesser extent.
