What is Superdrol?

Superdrol (Methasterone) is an oral, 17a-alkylated DHT derivative - one of the harshest and most potent oral steroids. It delivers fast, dry strength and mass gains without aromatization but is extremely liver-loading and worsens lipids and blood pressure strongly.

How it works

Methasterone activates the androgen receptor very strongly and does not aromatize - hence dry gains without water retention. The high potency comes with a correspondingly harsh side effect profile, especially on liver and lipids.

What the research shows

Methasterone was a popular designer steroid of the 2010s. Compound-specific human studies are scarce; the AAS pharmacology (Kicman 2008, Hartgens & Kuipers 2004) classes the properties of oral 17a-alkylated DHT derivatives.

Side effects

  • Liver: 17a-alkylated, extreme - ALT/AST can rise dramatically. Short cycles, liver support mandatory.
  • Lipids: catastrophic HDL lowering.
  • Blood pressure: rises markedly.
  • HPTA suppression - PCT topic.

Storage

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