Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate is a slow-acting injectable ester of the potent anabolic steroid Trenbolone. Trenbolone appears most commonly as trenbolone acetate, which is a much faster-acting form of the drug. The hexahydrobenzylcarbonate ester used here extends the release of Trenbolone for more than 2 weeks, which has always been thought of as more suitable for human use due to the less frequent injection schedule. The base steroid Trenbolone is roughly three times more androgenic than testosterone, making it a fairly potent androgen. It also displays about 3 times greater tissue-building activity in comparison to its androgenic properties, making its official classification as that of an anabolic steroid. The musclebuilding effect of Trenbolone Acetate is often compared to such popular bulking agents as testosterone or Dianabol, but without the same estrogen related side effects. It is most commonly identified as a lean-mass-building drug, and is extremely popular with athletes for its ability to promote the rapid buildup of strength, muscle size, and definition.
Trenbolone is not what we’d call the most side effect friendly anabolic steroid. Side effects of Trenbolone are undoubtedly possible, but they are often blown way out of proportion. This is a common practice by those who hold to an anti-steroid sentiment, but in the case of the side effects of Trenbolone it’s often steroid users who are the biggest offenders. This steroid will carry some very common possible steroid side effects. However, it will also carry a few that while possible tend to be a bit unique to the Trenbolone hormone. Such effects are highly dependent on response. Dose can play a role but response is the primary factor. Because these effects will be pronounced strongly many have begun to inaccurately assume that their Trenbolone is no good if such effects do not occur. This is an insane way of thinking. Others assume the steroid should not be used unless you have years of anabolic steroid experience. Again, this is insane thinking. If you are a poor responder you’ll be a poor responder in your first year of steroid use or your twentieth. In order to understand the side effects of Parabolan, we have separated them into their respected categories along with everything you need to know.
Estrogenic effects of Trenbolone
Trenbolone does not aromatize and carries no estrogenic activity. However, estrogenic side effects are still possible with this steroid due to a strong progestin nature. Water retention will not be a concern, but gynecomastia will be possible in some men depending on sensitivity. While there is no estrogenic activity, progesterone has the ability to simulate the estrogenic mechanism in the mammary tissue leading to gynecomastia. In order to protect from such action, some men may need an anti-estrogen medication, but many will be fine without it. Again, sensitivity will be the primary issue. Androgenic:
The Trenbolone hormone is highly androgenic, and as a result, the side effects of Parabolan can include strong related effects. Such side effects of Trenbolone include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. Such effects will be linked to genetic predispositions but they are quite possible in many men who use the hormone. To combat such side effects, some will be tempted to use a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. However, the Trenbolone hormone is not metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and related inhibitors will have no notable affect in reducing the androgenicity of the hormone.
Due to the androgenic nature of Trenbolone, virilization symptoms are very possible when women supplement with this steroid. Virilization symptoms can include body hair growth, a deepening of the vocal chords and clitoral enlargement. Most women who use this steroid will experience such symptoms at some level even with low doses. It is very possible to reverse such symptoms if use is discontinued at their onset, but they will often become permanent if allowed to set in. For this reason, most women are encouraged to seek out steroids with lower virilization ratings if anabolic steroids are to be used. Such compounds commonly include Anavar (Oxandrolone) and Primobolan (Methenolone) as well as Winstrol (Stanozolol) and possibly Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) at low doses.
Effects
Parabolan can have a notable adverse effect on cholesterol. It’s not as strong as many anabolic steroids, especially most oral steroids but it is notable enough. High blood pressure is also possible, but cholesterol will be the primary issue. For this reason a healthy lifestyle, one that is cholesterol friendly is imperative when supplementing with the Trenbolone hormone. If you already suffer from high cholesterol or blood pressure you should not use this steroid. If you are healthy enough for use, you should ensure your diet is cholesterol friendly, low in saturated fats and simple sugars and rich in omega fatty acids. You should also ensure you include plenty of cardiovascular training into your routine. Maintaining your health is very important when using anabolic steroids and it is more than possible with this steroid, but it will take some effort on your part. Testosterone:
All anabolic steroids suppress natural testosterone production. However, the rate of suppression varies greatly from one steroid to the next. In the case of Trenbolone the rate of suppression will be extreme. For this reason, all men who supplement with Parabolan are encouraged to include exogenous testosterone in their plan. Failure to include exogenous testosterone will result in a low testosterone condition. Such a condition can come with numerous bothersome symptoms that can affect your physical, mental and sexual wellbeing. Many inaccurately assume if they do not suffer from the sexually related symptoms their levels are not low, but this simply isn’t true. Further, such a condition is extremely unhealthy. Including exogenous testosterone is imperative.
Once all anabolic steroid use comes to an end, your natural testosterone production will begin again. At the conclusion of the cycle, most are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan. This will stimulate natural production to a greater rate and greatly reduce the overall recovery time. It will not bring your levels back to normal on its own. There’s no PCT plan on earth that can do this. However, it will improve the recovery rate and ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.
An important note, natural recovery assumes no prior existing low testosterone condition. It also assumes no severe damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) due to improper use or irresponsible supplementation practices. Hepatotoxic:
The Trenbolone hormone is generally not a hepatotoxic steroid. A level of toxicity is possible but appears to be limited to extremely high doses of the steroid. Most who use Parabolan will not experience any stress or damage to the liver.
Results
The final side effects of Parabolan include four reactions that are predominantly due to a poor response to the hormone. If you are a positive responder, it may be possible to fall prey to such effects with extremely high doses. However, a true negative responder will often find such effects occur regardless of the dose. The response base side effects of Parabolan include anxiety, insomnia, night sweats and rapid heart rate, and they can be very extreme. They can be so pronounced there will be some who cannot use the Trenbolone hormone. While most men will tolerate the hormone fairly well, more men will not be able to use Trenbolone more so than most anabolic steroids.
Due to the response side effect of Parabolan, when you use the Trenbolone hormone for the first time the only one you should use is Trenbolone Acetate. If the response effects occur at a high rate, you can discontinue use and they will fade away in a few days. If you are using Parabolan, due to its large ester you will have to wait a few weeks for the adverse effects to dissipate even after discontinuation. Strongest Anabolic Steroid
You probably are familiar with other mass building products such as testosterone. This hormone is known to be quite effective and helps many athletes, bodybuilders as well as weightlifters bulk up fast and maintains their agility.
But, did you know that Parabolan is much stronger than testosterone? When stacked, its androgenic properties are five times as strong as testosterone while its anabolic scores are four times better than testosterone. Consuming 200mg of Trenbolone will have same effects as consuming 1000mg of testosterone.
Parabolan Functions & Traits:
Parabolan, officially labeled Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate is a structurally altered form of Nandrolone. Deca being the hormone most commonly associated with Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate). For the Trenbolone hormone to exist, the Nandrolone hormone has an added double bond at carbon positions 9 and 11. This greatly increases the hormones androgen binding affinity and inhibits the hormone from aromatizing. Parabolan carries no aromatizing nature. This slight modification also slows down the metabolism of the hormone resulting in a far more potent anabolic and androgenic nature than Nandrolone, far beyond testosterone as well. In order to understand this hormone’s power, consider its anabolic and androgenic ratings. Trenbolone carries an anabolic rating of 500 as well as an androgenic rating of 500. All steroids carry a rating measured against the rating of testosterone, which carries a rating of 100 in both categories. More importantly, the Trenbolone hormone’s ratings match up perfectly to its translating activity. This is not always the case as can be seen in steroids like Halotestin (Fluoxymesterone) and Proviron (Mesterolone) to name a few. You will be hard pressed to find an anabolic steroid that carries the raw anabolic and androgenic power of Parabolan.
As an anabolic steroid, Parabolan carries with it numerous common steroidal traits associated with anabolic power. Many of these traits are shared by many other anabolic steroids, but in the case of the Trenbolone hormone it carries them with a far greater rate of power. This steroid has the ability to enhance protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in the muscles far more so than most steroids. This is important as protein synthesis refers to the rate by-which cells build proteins. As proteins are the building blocks of muscle, this promotes a potent anabolic atmosphere. The enhanced rate of nitrogen retention again promotes this atmosphere and protects the body from catabolism. All lean muscle tissue is comprised of approximately 16% nitrogen and a deficiency will lead to a catabolic state.
Parabolan also has the ability to greatly increase red blood cell count and IGF-1 output. The increased red blood cell count is important as red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. This not only promotes greater muscular endurance, but again revs up the total anabolic activity. When it comes to anabolic activity, this is precisely why the increased presence of IGF-1 is important. IGF-1 is a powerfully potent anabolic hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body. This simple hormone also plays a tremendous role on our body’s recovery process.
The Trenbolone hormone is also well noted for being one of the best inhibitors of glucocorticoid hormones or stress hormones like cortisol. These hormones are in many ways the complete opposite of anabolic steroids in that they destroy muscle tissue and promote fat storage. With this trait, along with the insanely potent anabolic atmosphere, the individual should find a greatly enhanced metabolic rate. However, he should also find steroids like Parabolan also have the ability to directly promote lipolysis due to its tremendous binding affinity for the androgen receptor. Most all anabolic steroids can promote an enhanced metabolic rate, but very few tend to support direct fat loss and Parabolan tends to promote it at a notable rate.
All of the mentioned traits make Parabolan a remarkable anabolic steroid, but it carries another that truly separates the Trenbolone hormone from the rest of the pack. This anabolic steroid has the ability to remarkably increase feed efficiency or nutrient efficiency. This is the very reason Fina pellets are administered to cattle shortly before slaughter in order to beef them up for a higher return on the market. By increasing feed efficiency, this makes every last nutrient more valuable than it would be otherwise. Every gram of protein, fats and carbohydrates we consume is utilized at a higher rate, less is wasted and a greater benefit is gained. A good way to look at it is as you would the money in your pocket. Imagine being able to buy ten dollars worth of goods and services with every one-dollar you have. Perhaps a slight oversimplification, but it’s not that far off.
Administration
Men
Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate was generally administered in a clinical dosage of 3 ampules per month. Therapy was initiated the first month with all 3 ampules given over the first 15 days. During the subsequent 3 months, one injection (76 mg) was given every 10 days. For physique- or performance-enhancing purposes, trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate is most often administered at a dosage of 152-220 mg per week. The drug would be taken in cycles ranging from 6 to 12 weeks. Although a weekly administration schedule would be more than sufficient, athletes usually injected a single ampule (76mg) at a time, and the total amount would be spread evenly throughout the week. Although not necessary, this type of schedule helps to reduce injection volume per application. The results with the use of trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate should be a visibly more muscular physique (larger, leaner), and, if body fat levels are low enough, that hard ripped look most valued by dieting and competitive bodybuilders. While this drug is quite potent when used alone, it is sometimes 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 of density and hardness to the build, often proving dramatic for a stage appearance. We could also look for bulk with this drug, 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.
Women
Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate was generally administered in a clinical dosage of 3 ampules per month. Therapy was initiated the first month with all 3 ampules given over the first 15 days. During the subsequent 3 months, one injection (76mg) was given every 10 days. Given the risk of virilization, lower doses were likely used by physicians with many female patients. This agent is generally not recommended for women for physique- or performanceenhancing purposes due to strong androgenic nature and tendency to produce virilizing side effects.
FINAL DECISION: Highly Effective!
Very few hormones come close to Parabolan when it comes to muscular gains, improved performance and effectiveness. Coming with half-life of about 8 days, the hormone will remain in the system for a longer period compared to other varieties such as Tren Acetate (3 days) meaning that you will continue to experience the effects for a longer time.
