Description
Danabol (Methandienone) is an anabolic steroid popular among bodybuilders and athletes for its powerful anabolic properties. It is the trade name for the active compound Methandienone (methandrostenolone), first developed in 1958 by Ciba Pharmaceuticals.

Key Characteristics

• Form: Danabol is commonly available as oral tablets.
• Dosage: Standard dosages range from 10 to 50 mg daily, with athletes often following varied dosing schedules.
• Effects: Danabol significantly enhances protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in muscles, leading to rapid gains in muscle mass and strength. It also improves glycogen retention in muscles, supporting training sessions.
• Duration of Action: Danabol’s active period is approximately 4–6 hours, requiring regular dosing to maintain stable levels in the body.
• Androgenic Properties: While primarily an anabolic steroid, Danabol also has notable androgenic effects, which can cause side effects like acne, hair loss, and increased aggression.

Side Effects

• Liver Toxicity: As an oral steroid, Danabol is liver-toxic, especially with prolonged use or high doses.
• Water Retention: One common side effect is water retention, which can result in bloating and elevated blood pressure.
• Gynecomastia: Elevated estrogen levels due to Danabol’s aromatization can lead to gynecomastia (breast tissue development in men).
