What is Methylstenbolone?

Methylstenbolone (M-Sten) is an oral, 17a-alkylated designer steroid from the prohormone/designer wave of the 2010s. It is very potent and delivers dry strength and mass gains without aromatization but, like all 17a-alkylated orals, is markedly liver-loading.

This information is for research and educational purposes only. No medical advice.

How it works

Methylstenbolone activates the androgen receptor strongly and does not aromatize. Gains are dry and hard, the side effect profile harsh in line with the high potency - especially liver and lipids.

What the research shows

As a designer steroid there are hardly any controlled human studies. The AAS pharmacology (Kicman 2008, Hartgens & Kuipers 2004) classes the properties of oral 17a-alkylated steroids.

Side effects

  • Liver: 17a-alkylated, strong - short cycles, liver support.
  • Lipids: marked HDL lowering.
  • Blood pressure rises.
  • HPTA suppression - PCT topic.

Storage

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