Andriol detailed information



Andriol is the mildest oral steroids suitable for beginners. It is a unique oral testosterone product, developed by the international drug firm Organon. One of the more recently developed anabolic steroids, Andriol first became available in the early 1980's. It is the only effective oral testosterone compound. This compound contains 40 mg of testosterone undecanoate, based in oil (oleic acid) and sealed inside a capsule. The design of this steroid is quite different from that of most oral steroids.

How works Andriol

The substance testosterone undecanoate contained in Andriol, however, is reabsorbed from the intestine through the lymphatic system, thus bypassing the liver and becoming effective. The liver function is not affected by this. Testosterone undecanoate is a fatty acid ester of the natural androgen, testosterone, and in the body is for the most part transformed into dihydrotestosterone, a metabolite of testosterone. For this reason Andriol aromatizes only minimally, meaning that only a very small part of the substance can be converted into estrogen, since the dihydrotestosterone does not aromatize. The users of Andriol therefore do not experience feminization symptoms such as gynecomastia or increased body fat.

This makes it a welcome alternative for athletes who have problems with the common injectable testosterone compounds. Due to this, Andriol is also suitable for pre competition workouts. An additional advantage of Andriol is non-aromatizing quality consists of the fact that the body's own hormone production is only affected after a long-term administration of very high dosages.

Andriol has only a low inhibitive effect on the hypothalamus so that the release of LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) is rarely influenced. This is very important since-as we know-LHRH stimulates the hypophysis to release gonadotropine which causes the Ledig's cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Consequently, Andriol should be the perfect steroid; however, this is not the case.

Andriol Side effects

The disadvantage of Andriol is that it becomes effective if taken in high doses. Even if a dose of 200 mg of Andriol/day is taken, the testosterone level in the blood is still too low for a bodybuilder to gain strength and muscle growth www.fitnesspharmaas.com.

The capsules, therefore, are effective for only a few hours so that 6-7 capsules, that is 240-280 mg (minimum), must be taken daily to achieve good results comparable to those of injectable compounds. This, however, puts the athlete in a dosage range which begins to influence the hormone production and the compound now more readily converts into estrogen. Another disadvantage is Andriol's high price.

Andriol Dosages

Another disadvantage is Andriol's high price. For those athletes who would like to try Andriol 8 capsules ( 320 mg daily) should be taken. The capsules should be taken three times daily (approximately every 8 hours) after meals so that the substance can be properly reabsorbed. However, even this high dosage does not guarantee satisfactory results.

Those of you who believe that you need even higher doses should then consider that it might be more sensible to switch to the injectable testosterone. Andriol is often combined with Anavar since Anavar also does not suppress the production of testosterone and, in addition, does not aromatize.

Women and Andriol

Since Andriol is quickly eliminated by the body it should also be considered for use before competitions requiring doping tests. Women should avoid Andriol since the androgenic component common with testosterone is also strongly developed in this compound. Andriol intake can occasionally lead to high blood pressure, retention of fluids, acne, sexual over stimulation, and, in women, the well known virilization symptoms.

The greatest advantage of Andriol lies in its good compatibility medpharmacare.com. It can, for example, be used with

Deca Durabolin in long-term therapy and, in this combination and for health-conscientious athletes, it is an alternative to the famous Dianabol (D-bol)/Deca Durabolin stack.
