About Turinabol

Turinabol was first released in East Germany in 1962. The steroid would enjoy a very high safety rating for decades not only among men but also in women.  This steroid was used by East German Olympic athletes since 1974 to 1989.

Due to a low level of androgenicity and overall low virilization ratio, Turinabol is a favourite steroid for many female athletes. However, there are other steroids with even lower virilization, such as Anavar or Winstrol.

Turinabol effects

The effects of Turinabol will be most valuable to athletes in a competitive sport of physical skill. The use of Turinabol will significantly promote muscular endurance, they won’t tire out as fast and their overall rate of recovery should be greatly improved. The user will also find his strength, power and speed, to noticeably improve.

Since Turinabol does not aromatize, all weight gained will be lean mass. Therefore Turinabol can be a decent addition to any cutting stack. Turinabol will provide solid protection against lean tissue loss and a overall increase in hardness. The lean tissue protection and the added increase in endurance and recovery can prove invaluable during weight training.

Turinabol administration

For a standard male; Turinabol doses will normally be in the 30-50mg per day range. 30mg per day can provide some nice effects. This can provide significant synergy between the other anabolic steroids being used as well as promote recovery and endurance. For a true anabolic benefit, most men will find Turinabol doses in the 50mg per day range to be far more beneficial. Total use will normally fall in the 6-8 week range and should not surpass 8 weeks for any reason in order to minimize the strain on your liver.

Standard female Turinabol doses will normally fall in the 5-10mg per day range. Virilization is highly unlikely with such doses but is almost assured with doses that surpass 10mg per day. If virilization symptoms occur, Turinabol should be discontinued immediately. Total use should be kept in the 4-6 week range. This should be a safe dose that presents minimal virilization probability.

Turinabol side effects

The side effects of Turinabol are some of the mildest of any anabolic steroid on earth. However, Turinabol can have a strong, negative impact on cardiovascular health. This should be controllable for the healthy adult but it will be something you need to keep an eye on. Both men and women will be able to use this steroid.

Turinabol does not aromatize, so side effects like gynecomastia and excess water retention are impossible. This should also greatly reduce the risk of high blood pressure.

Turinabol appears to carry little to no androgenic activity. Androgenic side effects of Turinabol include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth.

The most concerning are female virilization symptoms. Women can use Turinabol without virilization, but the dose must be kept low or virilization will absolutely occur. Virilization symptoms include a deepening of the vocal chords, body hair growth and clitoral enlargement. If such symptoms begin to show, discontinue use immediately and they will fade away. If such symptoms are ignored it is possible that they may become irreversible.

Turinabol can have a significant impact on cholesterol in increasing LDL levels (bad cholesterol) and suppressing/reducing HDL levels (good cholesterol). If you suffer from high cholesterol you should not use this steroid. For those who are disciplined enough for use, ensure your diet is low in saturated fats and simple sugars. Also ensure your diet is rich in omega fatty acids. A large amount of fish oils daily is advised. It’s also a good idea to consider a cholesterol antioxidant and always include plenty of cardiovascular training into your routine. If you’re a healthy adult and you do these things, unless there is an underlying issue you shouldn’t run into any problems.

Turinabol is suppressive to natural testosterone and should be used in conjunction with exogenous testosterone, such as Sustanon, Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Propionate or Testosterone Enanthate. Men who use Turinabol without exogenous testosterone will risk developing a low testosterone condition. Such a condition can come with a host of possible symptoms ranging from physical, mental and sexually related. Once the use of Turinabol comes to an end, natural testosterone production will begin again on its own. However, natural levels will still be very low and it will take a large amount of time to recover proper or healthy levels. For this reason, it is encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan once the use of anabolic steroids is discontinued. This will greatly speed up the recovery process and protect your lean tissue.

Turinabol is hepatotoxic. Liver enzyme values will increase with use due to the stress it will place on the liver. With proper use, however, it is more than possible to avoid any liver damage, but this will require responsible use. If you already suffer from any liver related issues, you should not supplement with Turinabol. If you are healthy enough for use, you should ensure you do all you can to promote a healthy liver. First and foremost, avoid all excess alcohol consumption when using this steroid. Due to its hepatoxicity it is highly recommended to run a liver protection supplement from The Anabolic Store to maintain healthy liver function.

Why buy Turinabol

Turinabol is overall a good addition to many steroid cycles and as it is considered as a slower acting steroid its use isn’t associated with dramatic increase in weight, strength and muscle mass. Turinabol also does not typically create risk for estrogenic side effects, there is limited to water retention or risk for gynecomastia.
