METHAROW is an oral steroid featuring 10 mg of the hormone Methandienone.
METHAROW is an orally administered steroid that significantly impacts protein metabolism. Methandienone, a testosterone derivative, exhibits potent anabolic and androgenic characteristics. It notably enhances protein metabolism and stimulates protein synthesis, resulting in a positive nitrogen balance that facilitates protein accumulation and skeletal muscle growth. Additionally, METHAROW contributes to an improved sense of well-being.
METHAROW is regarded as one of the most potent mass-gaining steroids ever developed, specifically designed for athletes to enhance performance (although it was also claimed to have therapeutic benefits). Most users experience remarkable weight and strength increases, with a weight gain of 3-4 lbs per week being common, especially among beginners. It is important to note that much of this gain is water weight, and higher doses may lead to side effects like gynecomastia, hypertension, and acne. METHAROW acts quickly when taken orally but has a duration of action of less than half a day, leading to dosage schedules often being spread throughout the day.
It is known that a dosage of 10 mg of METHAROW is sufficient for complete androgen replacement in a man, enhancing androgen anabolic activity by approximately five times the normal level and decreasing natural cortisol activity by 50-70%. Despite this, many athletes opt for daily doses of 50-100 mg. It appears that exceeding 50 mg/day may yield diminishing returns.
However, not all effects of METHAROW are beneficial. One well-known adverse effect of overusing METHAROW is its impact on the liver, though these effects are usually temporary, with liver values returning to normal. Additional side effects are estrogen-related, though the risk can be lowered by combining METHAROW with an anti-estrogen. Potential side effects include gynecomastia, salt and water retention, high blood pressure, oily skin, facial hair growth, and acne (though typically mild). Due to the steroid's mild androgenic properties, high doses may also result in male-pattern hair loss. Changes in mood can occur as well, ranging from increased aggression and irritability to feelings of depression.
Most side effects are believed to be non-androgen receptor mediated, given that METHAROW is a weak binder to androgen receptors. This also indicates the low aromatase activity of Methandienone. Users of METHAROW need not worry about sudden drops in their natural testosterone production, as the side effects are not thought to be reliant on androgen receptor activity.
METHAROW easily aromatizes, making it less suitable for use in preparation for competitions. However, for those seeking to gain substantial size, it stands out among oral steroids. METHAROW has a half-life of only 3.2 - 4.5 hours, which implies that taking METHAROW twice daily will help maintain a substantial presence in the bloodstream.
