Known and unknown "methane"

To take or not to take the methane that is the question...

For "chemists" (i.e., people who use synthetic drugs to accelerate the mass of the muscles) "methane"is the word and the concept of home to the pain; so native that many of them do not even think about the mechanisms of its effects on the body, dosages, modes of reception and other generally important details. Here is often dominated by stereotypes – everyone does it, and I will do likewise. However, the most popular "modes" accept "methane" there are several and some of them differ significantly from each other. But it often happens that the first application of the drug becomes an established rule, dogma, doubt regarding the truth of which can not be. Thus, it is clear that taking anabolic steroids is fraught with many pitfalls, known and unknown health risks. Be responsible for the possible consequences of the decision on the use of "methane" will certainly have someone who took such decision. Despite the fact that this drug speak and write it a lot, will try to systematize and to clarify some of the details in order to make experiments on his own body would be well considered. By the way, the "methane" is officially called methandrostenolone; we allow ourselves to continue to use both terms with understanding what was going on. So, go ahead!

Essential to understanding the issue history

Now in the familiar form (that is, for oral use) methandrostenolone has been a long time (according to official figures – since 1956). Before steroid therapy was carried out with injections. In this form of use of drugs revealed two notable lack – small duration of matter (hence required a fair amount of frequent injections) and the standard inconvenience of injections (pain, problems resorption, scars, etc.). The latter circumstance is even more important than the first, because indications of anabolic steroids were mainly to patients who have undergone major surgery, wounds, infectious disease in a heavy form;such patients so regularly and many were "pricked". Because the task of creating oral anabolic steroid was very important.

In addition to traditional trouble, bring numerous injections, taken into account another factor, the need to reduce androgenetic used steroids (the ability to stimulate the development of male sexual characteristics) and to reduce as possible the number of side effects, especially severe manifestations. Being the "in Vogue" methyltestosterone side effects sinned in many, in particular, its application could lead to the disease of jaundice. This "problem field" and appeared methandrostenolone.

In the book "Anabolic steroids" published by "Sport", P. Grunding and M. Bachmann described the "methane" as Dianabol (another name methandrostenolone), which is an oral anabolic derived in 1956, the American scientist Dzh.Ziegler, with the participation of the company "Ciba-Geigy". Subsequently, the "methane" was included in the number of products manufactured by many pharmaceutical companies under different names. Regardless of the name, in all of these "gifts of pharmaceuticals" includes the active ingredient – 17A-Methylandrosta-1,4-ol-17P-he-3 (methandrostenolone, aka methandienone). Production technology may vary among different companies, which is mainly reflected in the "purity" of methandrostenolone. Depending on the manufacturer, often also see differences in declared and actual content of active substance in tablets.

In the end, the problems that prompted to undertake the development of "methane", has been basically solved. First, were received tablet form of anabolic by the drug due to the presence in its composition of methyl groups that are not destroyed in the stomach, is absorbed into the bloodstream. In fact, methandrostenolone is nothing like methyltestosterone after dehydrogenation. Hence, another name for "methane" – digidrotestosteron. However, dehydration had no effect on the presence of side effects – they are similar for both drugs (swelling, indigestion, "temporary" jaundice, enlarged liver). Secondly, we managed to reduce androgennoe. Books on drug therapy you can see that methandrostenolone terms of chemical structure and biological effects on the human body similar to testosterone and its analogues. In this case, "methane", with a marked anabolic activity, is characterized by far less androgenic activity than testosterone (anabolic activity of methandrostenolone and testosterone is about the same level, at the same time, the androgenic action of testosterone propionate exceeds a hundred timesa similar response methandrostenolone). On the other hand, preparations on the basis of testosterone still find use due to the fact that the decrease in androgenetic leads to the decrease of anabolic activity of the active substance.

It is curious that methandrostenolone is the active ingredient in the composition produced eponymous ointment. Its main purpose – the treatment of baldness.

Why "chemists" often choose the "methane"?

Those who decide to stimulate the growth of muscle mass use of anabolic steroids, often, indeed, begin with methandrostenolone. This is due to several reasons, of which are decisive in three circumstances related to the characteristics of the "methane". About them further in detail.

The first and very good reason – the tablet form of the drug. This, in any case, it is much more convenient injection. Besides, there is a perception (possibly even that it was formed on the basis of certain associations) that injectable steroids can cause addiction. And get yourself such a headache no one wants, hence not too positive relation at all to the injections, especially regular. In fact, these fears are purely psychological, and not physiological grounds (as they say, "ruin not in toilets, and in heads"). To drugs anabolic steroids at all desire it is difficult to carry. The "classic" drugs modify the Central nervous system; for example, imitation of the actions of endorphins, which leads to improved mood, the emergence of feelings of causeless happiness, decrease pain threshold, etc. the scope of the steroids is quite different. These substances stimulate hormonal changes in the body; as for their influence on the psychological state (mood swings, depression, euphoria, aggression, etc.), the effect of steroids in this respect is indirect. In the end, common sense tells us that the steroids and pills and injections, in principle, work the same way (because the active substance is the same or similar, differs only in the way you input it into the body).

Important factor number two – the relatively low cost of "methane". Well, here again is a place a certain misconception. Indeed, the drug is based on one-month course can be purchased at a price of $ 4 to $ 10 (depending on where and from whom to buy). But, if you do not forget about your health, that after taking anabolic should do rehabilitation therapy. Need to "support" the liver (karsil, Essentiale will cost about $ 30 a course). Moreyou need to keep muscle mass, that is, need drugs potassium and calcium. There are other additional costs that clearly should be included in the total cost of "chemistry". In short, the cheapness can turn out to be apparent.

And the third point – the stereotypes, the prevalence of the drug. Decided chemicals", asked advice from "senior fellow" is most often recommend is "methane". This version is for the "newbie" is not only not perfect, but altogether erroneous. Sorry, the fault here is lack of information related to some closed topics. Objective and accessible information on the impact of steroids on the body, obviously could seriously help a lot for beginners "chemists" to avoid a large number of typical errors.

Details of "methane"

Before to describe the ways and methods of use "old methane" to significantly increase muscle is to prevent common misconceptions to notice again from taking methandrostenolone is better to abstain. To begin with, that this drug is just "obsolete" ("grandpa methane" has already knocked more than fifty years). Achieve pharmacology during this time period was very significant. In light of these achievements, the reception of any oral (pills) steroids (Anadrol, Primobolan, stanozolol, methyl testosterone, halotestin, the same methane, etc.). it seems inappropriate and unwise. Their "help" easily "put" the liver, considerably impair the stomach, make other unpleasant consequences. No muscle mass will not be able to compensate for diseases most important for the functioning of the organs. When insatiable desire to refuse the injection, you can use andriol; the degree of risk in this case will be much lower.

If the need to test the effect of "methane" is so great, the decision to take the drug unwavering, then the first rule. The regimen of steroid on the principle of the pyramid is highly inefficient (the principle of the pyramid involves receiving small doses with sequential increase to the maximum; then back from high to low doses). Initially, however, the desired effect can be observed, but in a short time, the body just gets used to the presence of the drug and its reception has no effect (except for the headaches and water retention, but it is unlikely that this effect of steroid is someone to satisfy). This method of habituation to a substance, incidentally, has long been used to make the body insensitive to, for example, the effects of the poison. In the case of "methane" similar to the regime administered subsequently forced to abandon it due to the lack of the desired effect. Question– was it worth to start?

Thus, the doses of "methane" should be stable, and the time of reception determined by the biological rhythms of the body. In this regard, the drug should be "put" to the body with 6 to 9 hours and from 18 to 21 h. At this time the content of testosterone in men increases. On the other hand, if the mode of the day non-standard (shift work etc), the approach to the timing of reception of steroids the individual is required.

The importance of including diurnal biological rhythms when using anabolic steroids due to the fact that in this way there is an opportunity to harmonize the natural and artificial factors influence on hormonal balance. Two receive mode "methane" might initially be less effective than the more common 3-4 times a day. However, twice-a-day scheme is more natural, whereas increasing the frequency of reception may cause the onset of habituation effect. In this case, therapy it is pointless to continue more than one week (the desired action will not, and side effects are not going anywhere).

About the dosages we can say the following. The most effective (optimal) daily allowance "methane is 20-25 mg (typically, this corresponds to four or five tablets). The "Golden mean" in terms of the duration of the course – three to four weeks; and addictive without being too strong, and side effects are not so noticeable. However, you need to consider the individual characteristics of the organism. After a course of steroids is wise to pause and deal with the rehabilitation of the liver.

The myths and fables associated with the administration of "methane"

Is the basic ignorance, the lack of objective information nowadays there is a widespread, deep-rooted myths concerning the use of "methane". Not all of them are harmless, some can badly harm your health.

Fiction number one – the drug should not swallow and should dissolve it. It is argued statement that "methane" in this case is directly absorbed into the blood through the vessels of the mouth and therefore does less damage to the liver. In reality, the liver, as a kind of filter on, in any case, through blood will receive the same dose of the drug is all that is in the blood, and liver. However, doctors often do recommend to dissolve methandrostenolone. But the motivation here is completely different. Just in this embodiment, a certain dose of the drug into the blood from the stomach, and the other part – from the mouth; thus, the total concentration of the active substance will be greater, since a smaller amount of it will collapse underthe influence of gastric juice (some loss is always inevitable here). A "hit" on the liver are the same – even swallow, though rasskazyvay.

Another myth similar subject with the first — In accordance with it, the drug need to drink dissolved in vegetable oil. Like then, the methane will enter the blood from the stomach and intestine via the portal vein it will be, therefore, again the liver will suffer less. Debunking the myth similar in the liver will in any case be all that is in the blood. However, vegetable oil may to some extent prevent the destruction of drug by stomach juices is the only slight positive of this method of reception.

Another "tale of Tsar methane": an instruction requires to take the drug before meals; but if you're having abdominal pain, you should use "methane" with food. This is ridiculous and quite dangerous. If a steroid causes pain response, must be renounced; the pain-body warns about the inevitable negative consequences. And the "methane" with food only slows down the process of absorption in the blood and nothing more.

The scheme of the course Methandrostenolone

The scheme of the drug on the basis of the pyramid is extremely inefficient. Since in this case the adaptation of the organism to the presence of the drug and no effects will be observed.

The "methane" should be stable and equal doses. The most favorable hours for taking the drug are 6.00-9.00 and 18.00-21.00. This time, an increase in the levels of testosterone in the blood in men.

Half the methane per day most natural. And the usual 3-4 single method may lead to the same habituation effect.

The optimal duration of 4-6 weeks.

The optimal daily dosage for beginners is 20 mg. More experienced athletes can raise it to 40 mg a day.

At the end of the course to minimize side effects and minimize the "rollback" should be carried out FCT — post-cycle therapy.

Important note: There were given recommendations concerning admission of "methane". This in no way is a guide to action, a call for the use of steroids. The one who is going to use the data information, need to understand that accepts all risks and responsibility for possible consequences.
