Dienedione
Also known as: Estra-4,9-diene-3,17-dione
Dienedione is a designer prohormone that converts to dienolone (Trenavar) in the body, a compound structurally similar to trenbolone. It was marketed as a legal prohormone before being scheduled under the Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act. Very limited human data exists.

| Molecular Formula | C18H22O2 |
| Class | Steroid |
| Category | Underground Steroids |
Mechanism of Action
Acts as a prohormone that undergoes conversion to dienolone via 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Dienolone shares the triene structure of trenbolone and is believed to have similar anabolic and androgenic properties. Does not aromatize to estrogen. Has progestogenic activity similar to other 19-nortestosterone derivatives.
Dosing Research
Previously marketed at 30-90 mg per day in oral form. Cycle lengths were typically limited to 4-6 weeks. Requires full PCT (post-cycle therapy) due to significant suppression. No clinically studied dosing protocols exist for performance enhancement.
Side Effects & Risks
Oral bioavailability concerns and potential liver stress. Side effects expected to mirror those of trenbolone including cardiovascular strain, insomnia, night sweats, and aggression, though potentially at reduced intensity. Complete HPTA suppression. No long-term safety data available.

Testosterone Enanthate
SteroidTestosterone Enanthate is one of the most widely used testosterone esters for hormone replacement therapy and performance enhancement. It features a long-acting enanthate ester that provides sustained release over approximately 1-2 weeks, making it one of the most convenient injectable testosterone formulations.
Testosterone Cypionate
SteroidTestosterone Cypionate is a long-acting testosterone ester very similar in pharmacokinetics to Testosterone Enanthate. It is the most commonly prescribed form of testosterone in the United States for hormone replacement therapy and is widely used in performance enhancement contexts.
Testosterone Propionate
SteroidTestosterone Propionate is a short-acting testosterone ester that requires more frequent injections than longer-estered variants. It provides faster onset and clearance, making it preferred for shorter cycles, contest preparation, or situations where rapid clearance is desired.
Oxandrolone
SteroidOxandrolone (Anavar) is one of the mildest and most well-studied oral anabolic steroids. Originally developed for medical use in burn patients, muscle wasting, and osteoporosis, it is valued in performance enhancement for producing lean, dry gains with minimal side effects. It is one of the few steroids prescribed to women and children in clinical settings.
