Dbol: The Great Grandfather of Anabolic Steroids
Overview
Dianabol, commonly known as Dbol, is often hailed as the great grandfather of anabolic steroids. Developed by Dr. John Ziegler and released under the pharmaceutical name Methandrostenolone (also known as Methandienone) by Ciba in 1956, Dbol has become a legendary name in the world of bodybuilding.
Potency and Composition
Dbol is one of the most potent anabolic steroids available. It comes in both pill and injectable forms, known as Reforvit-B when combined with B-vitamins at 25mg doses. Its chemical structure is 17 beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one, with a molecular weight of 300.44 and the formula C20H28O2. Its anabolic to androgenic ratio ranges from 90-210:40-60.
Popularity Among Athletes
Widely used by bodybuilders and powerlifters, Dbol was a staple in the regimen of nearly every Mr. Olympia competitor from Reg Park to Frank Zane. It's famously rumored that Dbol played a role in Arnold Schwarzenegger's wins. Although once freely available, Dbol was eventually banned by the U.S. FDA under the Controlled Substances Act.
Effects on the Body
Dbol significantly influences protein metabolism. It enhances protein synthesis and helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance, contributing to improved well-being. This steroid aids in increasing muscle mass and strength, potentially leading to gains of 2-4 pounds per week over six weeks when coupled with proper nutrition and training.
Dosage Recommendations
Dr. Ziegler's recommended dose for athletes is 5-10 mg per day. For effective results, men typically take 15-50 mg daily, while women take 5-10 mg. Dbol's active life is 6-8 hours, and its detection time can last up to six weeks.
Usage and Stacking
Dbol is usually taken in cycles and often stacked with other steroids for optimal results. Common combinations include Deca-Durabolin, Primobolan, and sometimes Equipoise, as well as injectable steroids like enanthate, cypionate, and sustanon.
Research Findings
Studies in the early 1980s revealed that high doses of Dbol (100 mg/day for six weeks) resulted in decreased plasma testosterone by 40%, a one-third increase in plasma growth hormone, an 80% drop in LH, a one-third decrease in FSH, and an average fat-free mass gain of 3.3 kg. These studies concluded that Dbol enhances both strength and performance.
Side Effects
Some side effects associated with Dbol include acne, gynecomastia, liver issues, increased body weight, fluid retention, high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and early hair loss. In women, it may cause pronounced masculinization.
Current Status
Dbol is currently banned by the U.S. FDA, and its production has ceased in most of Western Europe and the United States. However, it is still manufactured in countries like Mexico (under the name Reforvit-b), Russia, and Thailand, and remains available on the U.S. black market.
