Q: “How do you recommend women arrange steroid cycles in terms of duration? Are the factors basically the same as for men? Do the 2-week cycle ideas apply, or is there as much importance to limiting duration as there is for men?” A: In deciding how many weeks anabolic steroid cycles should be, the concerns […]

Women and Short-Acting Versus Long-Acting Injectable Anabolic Steroids
Q: “Which is better for a woman to use, long-acting injectable steroid esters, or short-acting? I mean in terms of risk of virilization versus anabolic benefit. And, should women front-load anabolic steroids at the start of the cycle as you say men should.” A: In and of itself, the things that matter here are blood […]
Steroid Use for Individuals Predisposed to Gynecomastia
Q: “I did a cycle of trenbolone 50 mg/day and Dianabol 25 mg/day. I ordered letrozole to use as an anti-aromatase but it did not arrive. I just went ahead as I understand that very commonly that when no testosterone is used, 25 mg/day Dianabol can be gotten away with. I stopped Dianabol use the […]
A Review of Various Carrier Oils, Solubilizers and Bacteriostatics Used to Make Steroid Homebrew Preparations
Q: “I want to make my own steroid preparations but am unclear on the advantages and disadvantages of the various carrier oils, solubilizers, and bacteriostatics.” A: Let’s first consider which oil to use. The easiest oil to get and in my opinion one of the best is Wesson soybean oil from the supermarket. This has […]
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy for the Identification of Anabolic Steroids
Q: “Is there any way I can have anabolic steroids lab tested without the lab knowing that I’ve sent them anything illegal?” A: Probably yes. NMR spectra ordinarily are not interpreted by labs: instead, only the spectrum itself is provided and it’s the customer’s job to interpret the spectrum. Molecules are of course made up […]
Home Testing Method for the Identification of Fake Anabolic Steroid Tablets
Q: “Can I ever tell if anabolic steroid tablets are fake without having to send them off for analysis? Is there a way other than just noticing no results from them?” A: There actually is a simple way to do this. It will not tell if the correct steroid is present, and in some cases […]
Analytical Laboratory Testing for the Identification of Anabolic Steroids
Q: “I’m considering using an analytical lab for steroid testing. I see there are various kinds of test like HPLC-UV and GC/MS. Can you tell me about them, and which should I use?” A: In contrast to colorimetric tests (Labmax), which show some chemical effects when mixtures are applied to them, HPLC-UV and GC/MS attempt […]
Labmax Test Kits for the Identification of Anabolic Steroids
Q: “What do you think of the Labmax anabolic steroid test kits? Can I really trust the results?” A: I have not used these test kits myself but from knowledge of analytical chemistry and information that is available about them, I can give you some further information. These are colorimetric tests, where some rather general […]
AOD-9604 Peptide for Fat Loss
Q: “What do you think of AOD 9604? I like the idea of promoting fat loss without the possibility of causing GH belly or nerve pain. Is it legit?” A: AOD-9604 (HGH residues 177-191 with a tyrosine added to the N-terminus) certainly promotes fat loss in rats and mice. So far as is known, it […]
Are Recipients Harmed by Blood Donations Made by Anabolic Steroid Users?
Q: “I’ve always been a blood donor. It’s something worth doing for others, but also I understand that men really have very little mechanism for eliminating excess iron from the blood, so it’s probably good for my health as well. I’ve always read that blood shouldn’t be donated while on a cycle. Truth or myth?” […]
