Dianabol: A Popular Oral Anabolic Steroid
Overview
Known as "dbol," Dianabol is the pharmaceutical Methandrostenolone or Methandienone and a top choice for bodybuilders. Often called the "breakfast of champions," Dianabol is among the most widely used oral anabolic steroids.
Origin and History
Developed by Dr. John Ziegler and Ciba Pharmaceuticals, Dianabol was launched in the U.S. in 1956. It was one of the first anabolic steroids in sports, gaining popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. Many athletes, including Mr. Olympia winners, are believed to have used it. Arnold Schwarzenegger's first Mr. Olympia title is often associated with "little blue Dianabol pills." Although now banned by the FDA under the Controlled Substances Act, it was once extensively used by bodybuilders.
Chemical Structure and Ingredients
Dianabol's chemical structure is 17 beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1, 4-androstadien-3-one. Its main ingredients include:
- Hydroxy Propylmethylcellulose
- Dextrose
- Triacetin
- Starch
- FD&C Yellow
10
- Stearic Acid- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Silica
- Magnesium Stearate
- Titanium Dioxide
These elements enhance protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, boosting muscle size with minimal fluid retention.
Usage and Dosage
Studies indicate significant benefits for users taking two capsules daily. Higher doses, from four to eight capsules, enhance muscle mass and strength. Bodybuilders typically use it to:
- Increase muscle mass
- Enhance protein synthesis
- Boost glycogenolysis
Effective dosages are 15-50 mg orally per day or 50-150 mg per week by injection. Cycles last 4-6 weeks, often in stacks with other steroids like Deca-Durabolin, Primobolan, or Equipoise.
Side Effects
While effective, Dianabol can cause side effects, including:
- Acne
- Gynecomastia
- Liver issues
- Weight gain
- Fluid retention
- High blood pressure
- Rapid heartbeat
- Hair loss
It is primarily used by men, but women may experience masculinization and other effects.
Current Legal Status
Dianabol is now on the FDA's Controlled Substances list, and production in Western Europe and the U.S. has largely ceased. However, it is still manufactured in places like Mexico, Russia, and Thailand and is available on the U.S. black market.
