Dianabol, one of the most previous and the most famous anabolic steroids, was originally developed by Dr. John Ziegler with the help of Ciba Pharmaceutical Company. Ciba released dianabol in the United States in 1956.

Dianabol was perhaps the first anabolic steroid in sports history. It became immensely popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It became common dietary intake of power jocks. The anabolic steroid is said to be used by almost every Mr.Olympia from Scott to Zane. It is believed that Dr. Zeigler's little blue dianabol pills helped Arnold Schwarzenegger to win his first of seven Mr. Olympia titles. Until banned by the FDA under the Controlled Substances Act, dianabol was widely used anabolic steroid by bodybuilders.

Dianabol is chemically structured as ?17 beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1, 4-androstadien-3-one?. Its main ingredients include Hydroxy Propylmethylcellulose, Dextrose, Triacetin,Starch, FD&C Yellow #10, Stearic Acid, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silica, Magnesium Stearate, and Titanium Dioxide. The ingredients of dianabol work as constructive-metabolic factors that intensify protein synthesis and nitrogen preservation in the body. These elements have adaptogenic properties, which help body to become accustomed to increased workloads and fight fatigue. Thus, dianabol has great has the power to provide remarkable increase in muscle size with lowest fluid retention.

Several studies on dianabol have proved that dianabol users have great benefits, taking two capsules daily. Additionally, those taking higher quantities of dianabol, like four to eight capsules each day, have reported significant muscle mass and strength benefits. Bodybuilders often use dianabol to increase their muscle mass, raise protein synthesis process, and increase glycogenolysis. The effective dosage of dianabol include 15-50 mg / day orally or 50-150 mg / week by injection. Dianabol is usually used in cycles, and an average cycle of dianabol is usually structured as 25-40mg split throughout each day for 4-6 weeks, either alone or stacked with other steroids.

Dianabol is the most effective anabolic steroid that gives the most advantageous results when stacked with other anabolic steroids. It is most commonly stacked with Deca-Durabolin or Primobolan, perhaps even Equipoise.

However, there are some side effects associated with dianabol, which include acne, gynecomastia, liver infections, increased body weight, excess fluid retention, high blood pressure, faster heart beat and early hair loss. It is often used by men, but in women it often develops strong masculinization features and has other effects on their bodies.

Presently, dianabol is in the FDA's list of the Controlled Substances. The production of dianabol in most of Western Europe and the United States has been ceased. However, despite this, dianabol is being produced in countries, such as Mexico under the trade name Reforvit-b, Russia, and Thailand. It is widely available on the U.S. black market.
