What is DHB?

DHB (dihydroboldenone, also 1-testosterone) is a potent anabolic structurally related to boldenone but stronger and without aromatization. It delivers dry, hard gains with a good strength component. The injectable form is notorious for severe injection site pain - the oral form avoids that.

How it works

DHB activates the androgen receptor strongly, does not aromatize and causes no estrogen side effects. Gains are dry and high quality, the anabolic-to-androgenic ratio is considered favorable.

What the research shows

Compound-specific human studies are scarce. The AAS pharmacology (Kicman 2008, Hartgens & Kuipers 2004) classes the properties of non-aromatizing anabolics.

Side effects

  • Androgenic - hair loss in predisposed individuals, acne.
  • Lipids can worsen.
  • HPTA suppression - PCT topic.
  • No estrogen side effects.

Storage

Store dry and cool, protected from light. Out of reach of children.
