What anabolic steroids are sold in the USA

Anabolic steroids are hormonal drugs that mimic the male hormone testosterone, which promotes accelerated protein synthesis. Due to this process, an increase in muscle mass occurs.

These pharmacological agents have two effects – anabolic and androgenic. The first stimulates muscle growth. The second – causes side effects: increased pressure, the appearance of acne, impaired functioning of the heart, kidneys, liver, blood clots and some others.

Each type of anabolic steroids has its own unique composition, which has a certain ratio of anabolic and androgenic properties.

Consider the most popular.

Methane Group

This subspecies includes drugs with the main active substance methandienone – Danabol, Nerobol, Methandrostenolone, Anabol. A one and a half month course of taking these steroids will increase the weight to ten kilograms. However, after termination, the mass will be reduced from two to five kg. The reason for this is the effect of fluid accumulation in the muscles. Often an overdose leads to side effects.

Testosterone

The basis of these pharmacological agents is the testosterone hormone ester. The anabolic effect is slightly lower than that of the previous group, but the process of fat burning is more noticeable and there is no pronounced effect of “rollback” that occurs when the course of administration is completed. As a rule, the drug is injected.

Turinabol

The composition and effect of this tool resemble methandrostenolone. The price of Turinabol is more than one and a half times more than some “methanes”. A distinctive feature is the absence of the effect of fluid accumulation in the muscles, as well as gynecomastia, acne and hair loss. This is due to the addition of chlorine atoms to the substance’s molecule. Reviews on turinabol indicate that this drug has a delayed effect. The increase in muscle mass is slower, but the rollback effect is very high quality and practically absent. Turinabol course is from six to 12 weeks.

Nandrolone Group

The main active ingredient in this category is 19-nortetsterone, which is produced during prolonged physical exertion, as well as in pregnant women. The low likelihood of androgenic effects and high anabolic properties made these steroids very popular. Positive effects were noted in the form of: improving the functioning of joints, increasing the level of red blood cells in the blood, strengthening bones and ligaments. However, the benefits of taking the drug are blocked by progestin activity: erectile dysfunction, decreased libido. In this regard, the drug is combined with other steroids to reduce the negative effects.

Anapolon, Anadrol

These synthetic additives contain oxymetholone. It is a very strong pharmacological substance. For a course of a month and a half, muscle mass increases many times very quickly. At the same time, the rollback effect is very high. It is interesting to note that studies by scientists have proven the effectiveness of anapolone even in people who are not involved in physical activity.

Trenbolone

Initially, this drug was used in veterinary medicine to increase the mass of slaughter cattle. The drug has a potent anabolic effect. However, it has a lot of side effects.

Sustanon 250

This steroid is used as an injection. The basis of this drug is a mixture of testosterone esters. Promotes a good set of muscle mass, increases libido and red blood cell count. However, conversion to estrogen is inherent in Sustanon 250, which causes a number of side effects.

Primobolan

This steroid is used both orally and as an injection. Since primobolan freely penetrates the lipid layer, it dissolves fats. In this regard, the drug is used for drying while preserving muscle mass. Primobolan is not very suitable for muscle building, since a rather weak anabolic effect. However, the side of the reception is minimal.
