Prostanozol
Also known as: Demethylstanozolol THP ether, Prostanozol
Prostanozol is a designer steroid that is a modified form of stanozolol. It was marketed as a dietary supplement prohormone that converts to stanozolol in the body. It was subsequently classified as an anabolic steroid and banned. Extremely limited research exists on this compound.

Advanced| Molecular Formula | C25H40N2O2 |
| Class | Steroid |
| Category | Underground Steroids |
Mechanism of Action
Acts as a prodrug that is believed to convert to stanozolol or a stanozolol-like metabolite after oral administration. The THP ether group is cleaved during first-pass metabolism. Theoretically provides the same mechanism of action as stanozolol once converted, though conversion efficiency is unknown.
Dosing Research
No clinically established dosing. Was previously marketed as a supplement at doses of 50-100 mg per day. Cycle lengths were typically 4-6 weeks. Effectiveness and conversion rates are poorly documented. Requires PCT after use.
Side Effects & Risks
Expected to carry similar risks to stanozolol if conversion occurs, including hepatotoxicity, lipid profile deterioration, and joint dryness. Additional unknown risks due to the prodrug mechanism and uncertain metabolic pathway. No formal 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.
