Here's the detailed process on how anabolic steroids are made in chemical factories

Ever wanted to know what happens inside Charlie's chocolate factory?
This comes from the Indian gov't as they examine the process for environmental impact

While full of nerdy stuff
this proves how complex (thus expensive to 6 or 7 figures) steroid manufacture is
this in turn proves several things

1 ALL BLACK MARKET SOURCES ARE RESELLERS
Nobody is going to invest 6/7 figures to possibly be traced to an illegal op and have it all seized/forfeited. As you've seen, manufacturing labs also make pharmaceutical estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids to help themselves offset the huge investment cost, as their chemical process is somewhat similar (chemically speaking estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids are also steroids, although not ANABOLIC steroids)

2 TO HAVE A WIDE PRODUCT RANGE YOU HAVE TO BUY FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS
Absolutely no lab in the world manufactures all (not even close to most) steroids commonly sold in sources.

3 MOST BLACK MARKET SOURCES ARE RESELLERS FROM RESELLERS
Even if operating from a steroid-legal country, with a wide budget to meet minimum purchase quantity requirements from manufacturers, handling too many different purchases from too many suppliers will be too burdensome for the small to medium size source, thus they are resellers from resellers.



Don't believe source shill bullshit
don't be an useful idiot.

From what I've heard there are 3 major manufacturers in china. I'd say they make all of their own finished powder thru synthesis on site. I think testosterone based products are created from cholesterol, and if McDonald's can get 24 grams in a Big Mac and sell it for $2.50 pharma has no problem getting it. Lol. Progesterone based is another category that all start with the same synthesis. Powder has become a billion dollar business these days and black market outweighs legitimate sale 100 to 1.

Think of how much test a doctor would prescribe vs how much the average bodybuilder needs to build an impressive physique. 5 to 10 times more maybe. The initial investment is huge but the vacuum in the market allowed for the investment to be worth it. There might be more than three major chemical plants that produce high quality raw in china by now, because it was several years ago when I herd of the big three.

There are a lot of small sub par facilities trying to get in the game over there that are making garbage from what I hear as well these days. Not to meantion most of these "labs" are just resellers working from their homes I'm sure, but telling everyone they are the producer. If anyone would care to go in partners on a testing lag I would say it would be a game changer for the industry. Having your raws tested would be priceless and would squeeze out the low quality garbage and force the distributors to only sell high quality or be shut down due to no one wanting to buy known garbage.

Interesting
Did you find who the chinese big 3 are?
I've only found Indian and European manufacturers, and none of them manufactures all the A-steroids, but they also make medicinal progestins, estrogens and corticosteroids.


I've heard that because of the huge investment there are no small players
since gear ain't regulated in china they can sell it at the backdoor, in cash if they want to hide their trace.

MasterOn,
Sorry for the late response. I don't want to plug my guy because I have never had his products tested. I'm not here to promote any supplier either. They seem to work really well and be consistent in terms of appearance, smell, taste etc. I don't think I've gotten anything that wasn't legit pure stuff. It's always been weird where you think it's too good to be true and you will get scammed and not sent anything or something bogus. That hasn't ever been the case. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've picked suppliers off the internet at random. The only thing is not having the ability to test for purity. They've all got me ripped and huge, and not sick.

I researched the crap out of it when I started because guys were talking about how cheap it was compared to UG and how you at least knew the actual potency and sterility of what you were making and you only had to put faith in the supplier. No regrets here and I wouldn't have been able to justify the price of UG compared to powder. I'm not sure what issues it has for some to have an unlimited amount for a personal cycle or possible youngsters getting ahold of it which is NOT a good thing at all. My advice is to brew for personal use only, don't tell anyone (if you're married you have to tell her but that might even backfire on you. There are no rules in a divorce even if you think she would never do that. Keep it locked up under lock and key and be ready to dispose of it quickly if you need to). I've heard some resellers are selling garbage, but I've never found that to be true. I'd like to invest in a testing lab. I think it would be profitable. I know I would pay for a professional analysis if it was inexpensive and easy to do.
