Methyl drostanolone (Superdrol)

Methyl drostanolone, commonly known as Superdrol, is an oral anabolic steroid that is derived from drostanolone (Masteron).
It was originally developed as a prescription drug, but its potent anabolic effects made it popular in bodybuilding.
Superdrol is known for its ability to promote rapid muscle gains while having relatively low androgenic activity.

Unlike many other anabolic steroids, Superdrol does not convert to estrogen, making it a favored choice for bodybuilders
who want to avoid estrogenic side effects such as water retention and gynecomastia. However, it is highly hepatotoxic,
which limits its use to shorter cycles.

Key Attributes

• High Anabolic-to-Androgenic Ratio: Offers significant muscle gains with minimal androgenic effects such as acne or hair loss.
• No Aromatization: Superdrol does not convert to estrogen, so users avoid water retention and bloating.
• Dry Gains: Promotes lean muscle growth without causing excessive water weight.
• Liver Toxicity: Like many oral steroids, Superdrol is harsh on the liver and should be used with caution.

Application in Bodybuilding

Superdrol is commonly used by bodybuilders for:

• Rapid muscle gain during bulking cycles.
• Increased strength and power during training.
• Maintaining lean mass while cutting due to its non-aromatizing properties.

Typical cycles of Superdrol last between 4-6 weeks, with dosages ranging from 10-30 mg per day.
Due to its hepatotoxicity, longer cycles or higher dosages can lead to serious liver damage,
and users are advised to take liver support supplements and monitor liver function closely.

Warnings

Superdrol is highly liver toxic, and long-term use can result in liver damage or failure.
It is essential to limit its use to shorter cycles, avoid alcohol consumption, and include liver protection supplements
such as milk thistle or N-acetyl cysteine. Regular blood tests to monitor liver health are recommended.

Additionally, Superdrol can negatively affect cholesterol levels, increasing LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and decreasing HDL (“good” cholesterol).
It should be used with caution, especially by individuals with pre-existing liver or heart conditions.
