What is Turinabol?
Turinabol (chlorodehydromethyltestosterone, Tbol) is an oral, 17a-alkylated testosterone derivative with an extra chlorine atom that blocks aromatization. It is considered mild to moderate, delivers dry, well-retained gains without water retention, and is historically known as a central agent of East German state doping.

How it works
Turinabol activates the androgen receptor, does not aromatize to estrogen due to the chlorine atom, and has a low androgenic profile. Hence no estrogen side effects, no water - gains look dry and defined but come more slowly than with dianabol.

What the research shows
Compound-specific human studies are scarce. The AAS pharmacology (Kicman 2008, Hartgens & Kuipers 2004) describes the properties of oral, non-aromatizing 17a-alkylated steroids.
Side effects
- Liver: 17a-alkylated, ALT/AST can rise - liver support, limited duration.
- Lipids: can lower HDL.
- HPTA suppression - PCT topic.
- No estrogen side effects.
