Turinabol, what is it?

These relate primarily to the “methyl” group component in either name, though it is clear that Turinabol’s name is far more complex, and this is mirrored by its advanced structure (when compared to dianabol.)

Without going into extensive detail on dianabol, this product actually provided the original “blueprint” on which “tbol” was later developed.

Eerily, they were both developed for tremendously similar purposes, as we’ll soon discuss when observing the history of this compound.

Dianabol was itself derived from the “base” testosterone formula.

With this in mind, when observing the testosterone “blueprint” and comparing it to the dianabol blueprint  we can see some considerable differences in regards to structural formulation.

Further still, when we observe turinabol’s blueprint  when compared to the structure of dianabol, we can see that whilst the two molecules are certainly similar, they are also noticeably different.

This difference is largely related to the double bond at the carbon one and two positions. This reduces the androgenic qualities of the molecule, whilst simultaneously tipping the scale in favor of anabolism.

As a result, we have one of the most side effect “friendly” steroids on the market (in theory) in relation to androgenic activity – this makes it a seemingly favorable choice for women, though as we’ll soon discuss, this may not be a “great” female steroid choice.

Another very important addition is that of a chloro group at the carbon four position. The addition of this chlorine based group (as proven by this study) actually serves to reduce estrogenic activity, specifically by inhibiting aromatisation.

With this in mind, it’s safe to say that this product can easily be considered as a “tame” compound – most of the “bad” elements (potent estrogenic and androgenic issues) that one would typically worry about before using an anabolic item are simply not present to a magnified degree here.

Look for example at Prime Pharma’s version, that is Turinabol 10: for those looking to be stronger, more performant, and build a hard, muscular body, Turinabol 10 is ideal – and with minimal side effects.

If you’ve got any knowledge in regards to how oral steroids work already, then you’ll know that their molecular structure has to be altered in a certain way to allow them to “survive” in the system; this product is no different.

These steroid types are known as 17-AA steroids; the “AA” referring to the “Alpha Alkylation” modification of the base compound. This simply involves adding an alkyl group to the “alpha” position at the 17th carbon of the “backbone” of the steroid in question (you can observe this modification in more detail here.)

What this does is allow the molecular structure of the hormone to survive what’s known as the “first pass” of the liver, whereas a drug will enter the portal vein (on its way to the liver), and ordinarily its structure would get intricately broken down – thus (in some cases) nullifying its effects on the body. One of the earliest “interventions” in regards to steroid structure, and without it oral steroids as we know it today, simply could not exist in an effective capacity.

It’s on the subject of “early years” that we now turn to the origins of this product, and explore how it came to fruition on the anabolic market so as to give you a wider understanding of its capabilities at large.
