Methandrostenolone is one of the most well-known steroid drugs that is taken to enhance protein synthesis and build muscle in bodybuilding. Since this name is very long and heavily pronounced, most athletes call it simply Methane or Danabol. Its popularity is explained by the convenient form of release( tablets) and relatively affordable price.

In the familiar athletes the form of Methandrostenolone was obtained in 1956 by an American scientist J. Ziegler. From the existing anabolic drugs at that time, the drug differed in two essential aspects:
- A more convenient form of administration is tablets, and not ampoules for injections.
- Reduced androgenicity, and hence fewer side effects.
The main principle of the action of methandrostenolone is the enhancement of protein synthesis, which leads to a faster growth of muscle mass. In addition, there is also an increase in strength, strengthening the bone system, as well as the joint and ligament apparatus, increased appetite, weak androgenic effects and increased water retention in the body, which leads to the effect of "pumping."
How to take
The main point: taking a steroid by the method of the pyramid with a sequential increase and subsequent reduction of the doses does not give any effect, because the body quickly gets used to the presence of the drug in the blood.
Given the adverse effects of the drug on the liver, it is recommended to eat immediately after meals. In any case, you need to take into account the individual characteristics of the body, non-standard working day and other features that can affect the effect( for example, taking other anabolic drugs).
For use as a tablet form of the drug, and methandrostenolone in ampoules.
