Price of Parabolan 3ml/150 mg - $25
Parabolan was
produced by Negma in France, and for some time was the last
remaining injectable worldwide that contained the extremely
potent steroid trenbolone. It was discontinued in 1997 however,
and currently no real Parabolan can be found on the black
market. This profile is still included for interest value, plus
to help you understand the variety of Parabolan fakes that are
still out there.
You may
associate Parabolan with the long deceased Finajet, a
veterinary steroid that was popular in the United States during
the 1980's. Finajet contained trenbolone acetate, which was a
very fast acting form of Parabolan (see: trenbolone acetate).
Parabolan contains a much different ester, trenbolone
hexahydrobenzylcarbonate. Parabolan extends the activity of the
drug for more than two weeks, a more suitable design for human
use. Parabolan is packaged only in ampules of
1.5ml, one ampule
per a box. Each ampule contains 76mg of trenbolone
hexahydrobenzylcarbonate, equivalent to 50mg of trenbolone base
(French drugs commonly make this calculation).
Parabolan is a
very potent androgen with strong anabolic activity. It is well
suited for the rapid buildup of strength and muscle mass,
usually providing the user exceptional results in a relatively
short time period. The anabolic effect of
Parabolan is often
compared to popular bulking agents such as testosterone or
Dianabol, with one very important difference. Parabolan does
not convert to estrogen. This is indeed a very unique compound
since mass drugs, almost as a rule, will aromatize (or cause
other estrogen related troubles) heavily. When we think of
taking milder (regarding estrogen) steroids we usually expect
much weaker muscle growth, but not so with Parabolan. Here we do
not have to worry about estrogen related side effects, yet still
have an extremely potent mass/strength drug. There is no
noticeable water retention, so the mass gained during a cycle of
Parabolan will be very hard and defined (providing fat levels
are low enough). Gynecomastia is also not much of a concern, so
there shouldn't be any need to addition an antiestrogen if
Parabolan is the only steroid administered.
The high
androgen level resulting from Parabolan, in the absence is
excess estrogen, can also accelerate the burning of body fat.
The result should be a much tighter physique, hopefully without
the need for extreme dieting. Parabolan can therefore help bring
about an incredibly hard, ripped physique and is an ideal
product for competitive bodybuilders. This is of course no
secret, and when available on the market, Parabolan was the most
sought after contest preparation drug. Now this it is no longer
produced, acceptable substitutes for this purpose include of
course veterinary trenbolone acetate preparations, as well as
Halotestin, Proviron and Masteron (also recently
discontinued).
Parabolan is
notably more potent than testosterone, and has an effect that is
as much as three times as strong on a milligram for milligram
basis. Likewise we can expect to see some level of androgenic
side effects with use of this compound. Oily skin, aggressive
behavior, acne and hair loss are therefore not uncommon during a
cycle with this steroid. The androgenic nature of Parabolan of
course makes it a very risky item for women to use, the chance
for virilization symptoms extremely high with such a potent
androgen. And since the hexahydrobenzylcarbonate ester will
extend the activity of Parabolan for weeks, blood levels can be
very difficult to control. Since many of the masculinizing side
effects associated with steroid use can be permanent, women
considering the use of this compound should take extreme
caution. It can be weeks before blood levels decline should a
problem become evident.
Parabolan is
also much more potent than testosterone at suppressing
endogenous androgen production. This makes clear the fact that
estrogen is not the only culprit with negative feedback
inhibition, as here there is no buildup of this hormone to
report here. There is however some activity as a progestin
inherent in this compound, as Parabolan is a 19-nortestosterone
(nandrolone) derivative (a trait characteristic of these
compounds). However it seems likely that much of its suppressive
nature still stems from its powerful androgen action. With the
strong impact Parabolan has on endogenous testosterone, of
course the use of a stimulating drug such as HCG and
or Clomid, Nolvadex
is recommended when concluding steroid therapy (a combination is
preferred). Without their use it may take a prolonged period of
time for the hormonal balance to resume, as the testes may at
first not be able to normally respond to the resumed output of
endogenous gonadotropins due to an atrophied state. Those who
have used Parabolan regularly would often claim it to be
indispensable. A weekly dosage of 3 ampules (228mg) was the most
popular range when running a cycle, however many did find it
highly effective in lesser amounts. Although a weekly
administration schedule would prove sufficient, athletes usually
injected a single ampule per application, the total amount
spread evenly throughout the week. While Parabolan is quite
potent when used alone, it was generally combined with other
steroids for an even greater effect. Leading up to a show one
could successfully add a non-aromatizing anabolic such as
Winstrol or Primobolan. Such combinations will elicit a
greater level density and hardness to the build, often proving
dramatic to a stage appearance. We could also look for bulk with
Parabolan, and addition stronger compounds like Dianabol or
Testosterone. While the mass gain would be quite formidable with
such a stack, some level of water retention would probably also
accompany it. Moderately effective anabolics such deca
durabolin
or Equipoise would be somewhat of a halfway point, providing
extra strength and mass but without the same level of water
bloat we see with more readily aromatized steroids.
The main
problem with Parabolan historically was that it had always been
extremely difficult to obtain. While it was manufactured the
demand for Parabolan was huge. On top of that it was also often
scarcely available because it was made only in limited lots in
France. Now even in the former country of production, none can
be found. Some counterfeits still circulate today, so it is
important to stress the fact that you can no longer find
legitimate Parabolan on the black market.
