DHB

[Gianluigi15]

I’ve run DHB at doses of 300–400mg across five different cycles. It’s a very versatile compound — works great for both bulking and cutting. It’s excellent for strength gains, gives noticeable vascularity, and is overall a dry compound, yet it doesn’t make you look flat. It doesn’t raise estrogen or prolactin levels. In terms of sex drive, I didn’t notice any positive or negative effects. However, it does seem to slightly reduce appetite, but nothing too extreme.
As for PIP, I think it’s mostly overblown. I’ve used DHB from three different vendors and never experienced anything extreme in terms of post-injection pain.
When it comes to comparing it with Tren, especially in a cutting context, the difference is night and day — Tren is simply on another level for cutting. Overall, DHB is a solid anabolic, very versatile, effective in both bulking and cutting, and great for strength.
It’s also a DHT derivative, so if you’re prone to hair loss, that’s something to watch out for.


My favorite DHB cycles were:

• For bulking: Test E 750mg + DHB 300mg weekly for 14 weeks with 30mg dbol first 5 weeks
• For cutting: Test Prop 100mg EOD + DHB 300mg + Mast Prop 100mg EOD for 10 weeks.

Finally, I’d recommend 12 weeks as the ideal duration for running DHB.

I've tried 4 sources and every single one of them left me with painful lumps for a week. How large were your doses, did you mix them with other oils, etc.?

When I ran cycles where the other compounds had long esters (like enanthate or cypionate), I injected DHB twice per week. If I was running 400mg, each DHB injection was 2ml. If I was running 300mg, each injection was 1.5ml.
When I ran short esters (like propionate or acetate), my DHB dose was always 300mg, and I injected it three times per week. Each DHB injection was 1ml.
And yes, I always combined the DHB with the other oils in the same syringe. I’ve never injected it on its own.

Anyone remember the Avant Labs 1-Test transdermal? That stuff was awesome and shut me down like nothing else. Wish there was 1-test base around again. I know I can strip the ester, but the raws are unavailable.

Same experience. I get sick 2-3 weeks in every time ive tried it, from 50-100mg to 200-350mg. i wouldnt recommend it.

Some guys respond well to it and seem to like it though but there are much better, safer alternatives that we know more about in my opinion.

What are the safer alternatives other primo? Not being sarcastic or ignorant. Just truly wondering.

Ran DHB at 200-300 together with test, slin and hgh 2 years ago. It was the best and biggest i ever looked. One thing that made me cautious about running it again was how it spiked my CRP. Never seen before.
Also the painful jabs deminished. Especially when it was diluted with the test.
I just stick to primo now altho its nowhere near as powerful.

How long was your cycle with Dhb?

 

[Oswizzle]

I ran tramdermal Test Base and Transdermal DHB … awesome cycle … felt Tren like … 1-Test is an underrated compound

 

[Mads2]

How long was your cycle with Dhb?

3 months. I bought it from CatCafe (not his own brand) and I was honestly in love with it.

 

[HereToTeachAndLearn]

How long was your cycle with Dhb?

21 months and counting

21 months and counting

Damn

I haven’t tried DHB yet, but it seems like the below protocol works the best based on going down the rabbit home the last few weeks:

- DHB @ 50g/ml concentration in preferably grape seed oil (almost no pip)

- Break dose into daily shots

- Take supplements to protect the liver (NAC, TUDCA, Milk Thistle and R-ALA)

- Check your bloodwork (GGT) every month and as soon as it’s 40+ roll back the dose about and get any additional anabolic load with a different compound

- If you combine with Tren it’s just going to make the impact on your liver worse… so don’t

Also, it seems to work more like the DHT derivative masteron in that it doesn’t lower your E2 like primo/eq will.

Personal experience:

I've run DHB Cyp for 16 weeks, at 500mg DHB + 500mg Test.

People online say that DHB is "Tren-Lite", but I'd say "Super Primo" is more accurate.

It's entirely lean and dry, with exceptional strength gains. I experienced zero side effects.

I also never had PIP with it. My DHB was 100mg/mL in MCT with 2% BA, 20% BB.

I've run 1.0-1.2g Primo Ace/wk and I'd say that DHB is roughly x2.0-2.5 more potent mg-for-mg.

It's a great compound, but for me the issues are:

1. Concentration. 100mg/mL requires a lot of oil per week for decent doses.

2. Price and availability. It's a tad on the expensive side and not everyone carries it.

If anyone is planning on running Primo, I'd honestly recommend saving a bunch of money and using DHB instead.

Have you noticed any Estrogen lowering effects? How did the DHB impact your bloods, do you have before/after/during by chance? Would love to hear more!

Didn't notice any E2 differences. I also don't use AI though.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have bloods from that period so this is purely anecdotal and so fairly useless =(

run DHB once and tryed to taper up my dose..
350/week was "ok" look as nice fuller,rounder similar to primo/deca but nothing special..
700/week - acid reflux, high liver values on bloods,cant eat on it -> straight went into a cruise

700 a week. Holy F.

do you remember the values on the bloods?
