In other words, Dianabol was the first performance enhancer created. Over time, more and more bodybuilders started using it. Arnold is perhaps the best-known example of such bodybuilders.
He is known to have used Dianabol to gain both muscle and strength. However, at that time little was known about the side effects of this steroid.
CIBA, the company producing Dianabol stopped all production in early 2000's and whatever Dianabol is available in the market today is actually illegal that does not adhere to any standards or manufacturing guidelines.
Yet, Dianabol is one of the most popular steroids today.
While Dianabol increases both protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in the body to promote muscle building, it can lead to a lot of water retention too.
Much of weight gained during a Dbol cycle is actually water weight and you would lose all this water once you stop taking Dianabol.
Some of the side effects of Dianabol could include:
- gynecomastia
- acne
- hair loss
- testosterone suppression
- low libido
Moreover, it can be toxic to liver and kidneys as well.
Thus, it is important to plan a PCT in advance. You can choose Nolvadex or Clomid for PCT.
