What is Turinabol?
Turinabol is an oral anabolic steroid used to promote lean muscle gain and increase endurance. Although it has a structure similar to Dianabol, it does not convert to estrogen, preventing water retention and bloating. This makes it a popular choice during cutting cycles.
General Information
Turinabol Retention Time and Half-Life in the Body
Half-life: Approximately 16 hours
Duration of stay in the body: 4-6 days
Discard Time: It may take approximately 6 weeks for tracking to occur.
Effects on Muscle Development
Lean Muscle Mass Gain: It provides lean muscle gain by supporting protein synthesis and makes the muscles more defined.
Does Not Cause Water Retention: Since it does not convert to estrogen, it does not cause water retention or bloating, which makes the muscles look harder.
Increased Stamina: Increases stamina and workout performance by increasing the production of red blood cells.
Side Effects
Liver Toxicity: Since it is an oral steroid, it has a certain toxicity on the liver. Long-term or high-dose use can damage the liver.
Androgenic Side Effects: Turinabol has low androgenic effects, so side effects such as hair loss and acne are rare.
Cardiovascular Effects: May cause cardiovascular side effects such as decreased HDL cholesterol levels and increased LDL cholesterol levels.
Testosterone Suppression: It has a mild testosterone suppressing effect; therefore post-cycle PCT is recommended.
