Turaxel is an oral anabolic steroid that contains 25 mg of Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone.
Turaxel 25 gained significant popularity thanks to its potent anabolic properties while exhibiting relatively low androgenic effects. This compound is widely associated with the notorious East German doping program, where numerous Olympic athletes were covertly administered steroids with the aim of achieving dominance in the Olympics.
Turaxel 25 belongs to the same steroid class as Methandienone. Bodybuilders frequently report that the effects of Turinabol are akin to those of D-bol, but without the unwanted water retention. This absence of bloating can be attributed to 4-Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone's lack of aromatization in the body, meaning estrogen-related side effects are absent.
Many users of Turaxel indicate notable improvements in strength and a modest increase in quality muscle mass. It is often used as a “jump start" for a cycle, allowing bodybuilders to experience early gains and "pumps" while waiting for the injectables in the cycle to reach their full effectiveness. Turaxel is a highly adaptable steroid, suitable for both cutting and bulking phases. It can be stacked effectively with nearly all compounds and also helps lower SHBG levels, enhancing the effectiveness of other substances like Testosterone.
Turaxel 25 is also commonly utilized as a "bridge" between cycles, with a low dose (10-15 mg daily) employed to prevent a complete “crash" and aid bodybuilders in preserving the gains achieved from previous cycles.
Chlorodehydromethiltestosterone is classified as a C-17 oral steroid, potentially placing some strain on the liver. Therefore, it is advisable for users to maintain doses within manageable limits and restrict their Turaxel cycles to no more than 8 weeks at a time. Typical dosages range from 20-40 mg per day.
Female bodybuilders also find this drug appealing and generally use it at a dosage of 5 mg daily.
