You’ve probably heard a lot about Proviron as a safe oral steroid for making moderate gains. Let’s dive into some of the more frequently asked questions regarding its use.
Q: First off, what is Proviron?
A: This drug is a brand name for the chemical compound mesterolone. It is an androgen taken orally for muscle gains.
Q: Is Proviron a strong drug?
A: Not particularly. It’s an oral, which means you probably aren’t seeking the most punch for your dollar. Strong orals such as Halotestin and Anadrol are very toxic and can only be used for very short periods of time without causing liver damage. Proviron is a weaker oral steroid, which makes it popular with users who wish to avoid needles and enjoy the benefits of AAS use, without placing their bodies at extreme risk.
Q: What is the actual medical purpose of this drug?
A: Men suffering from low testosterone will use Proviron in small doses to slightly elevate their levels of testosterone. This is used to promote better overall vitality and healthy, and improve sexual function without resorting to the use of drugs such as Cialis or Viagra which may have greater negative health impact.
Q: I’ve heard Proviron is ‘synergistic’. Is this true?
A: Synergy is the case where 1 + 1 = 3. In other words, the sum benefit of two drugs taken together is greater than it would be had the drugs been taken separately. Proviron has a side benefit of binding proteins very efficiently in the body. This allows other drugs to be more effective, including anabolic steroids. For this reason, many bodybuilders choose to add Proviron to their standard testosterone + Nandrolone stacks. They believe the combination of Proviron and just about anything is unbeatable!
Q: Do I have to use an anti-estrogen product with Proviron?
A: Yes, you do. Any drug of the 2methyl-dihydrotestosterone family is going to give you a great chance of hormone spikes. The use of a product such as Nolvadex would benefit the user tremendously. Gynecomastia can arrive quickly and permanently for users of Proviron, but the use of AIs and post-cycle therapy usually offsets these risks.
Q: What kind of dosing should I use with Proviron?
A: Men will need to consume one to four of the 25 mg tablets each day. If you are using 50 mg or more daily, an anti-estrogen is absolutely essential.
Q: What are the positive and negative effects I should expect to see with Proviron use?
A: As mentioned, Gynecomastia is a risk. Early onset of male pattern baldness, acne, and bloating are also possible. The positive effects will be greater muscle mass, moderate gains in strength, and a slow lowering of body fat over the weeks of usage. Women should not use Proviron under any circumstance for risk of virilization
Q: Bottom line – is Proviron right for me?
A: The best drug for bodybuilding gains is injectable testosterone at 600 mg per week. If that isn’t an option, Proviron is a safe alternative for bumping up your testosterone levels while avoiding getting too familiar with needles.
