Overview
and History of HALOMED 5 (Fluoxymesterone)
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is a synthetic derivative of Testosterone
hormone, in particular, that is a derivative of Methyltestosterone
(Testosterone that has been Methylated). HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is a very strong oral anabolic steroid that is unable
to aromatize into Estrogen. This compound also exhibits very strong androgenic
strength, it possesses an anabolic strength rating of 1900 and an androgenic
strength rating of 850. That is very important to understand that
Methyltestosterone is slightly stronger than Testosterone itself.
In comparison
with Testosterone, which anabolic and androgenic strength ratings are 100
respectively, HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is 19 times stronger. At the very beginning, HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) was used in the
medical field for the maintenance and gaining
of lean mass and tissue repair following various conditions of trauma (burns,
bone fractures, malnutrition, muscle-wasting diseases, treatment of
paraplegics, and as an adjunct to chronic administration of corticosteroids). HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) was approved
for the treatment for androgen deficiency in
men, breast cancer treatment in females, and for the treatment for osteoporosis
in postmenopausal women. Because of its high degree of hepatotoxicity, today
the lists of approved medical uses for HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) have been changed, leaving only the treatment of
male androgen deficiency and female breast cancer treatment.
Chemical
Characteristics of HALOMED 5 (Fluoxymesterone)
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) possesses an added methyl group on the 17th carbon
(known as carbon 17-alpha). It is also halogenated at carbon 9-alpha. Halogenation is the replacement
of one or more hydrogen atoms in an organic compound (in
this case, Testosterone) by a halogen,
usually resulting in said halogen becoming bound to the compound. A halogen
refers to a specific category of 5 related elements on the periodic table
(Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine). If we are talking about HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone), that is Testosterone that has been
halogenated with Fluorine (as a fluoro group) whereby the Fluorine atom has
been bound to carbon 9-alpha. The final modification that HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) possesses is its addition of a hydroxyl group (an
oxygen atom bound to a hydrogen atom) at carbon 11-beta on the Testosterone
molecule. The halogenation is also responsible for the major increase in
androgenic and anabolic strength in comparison to Testosterone and
Methyltestosterone. The addition of the hydroxyl group at carbon 11-beta is
what is responsible for restricting the ability for HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) to interact with the aromatase enzyme, and
therefore become unable to convert into Estrogen in the body.
Properties
of HALOMED 5 (Fluoxymesterone)
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) gives a vast increase in strength
and lean muscle growth. Athletes and bodybuilders can enjoy those qualities.
The methylation of the 17th carbon is the reason why the use of
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) causes a degree of hepatotoxicity in the body. Meanwhile, the big advantage with HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is that because of its inability to
interact with the aromatase enzyme and thereby avoid any Estrogen conversion,
there is no risk of any Estrogen-related side effects.
HALOMED 5
(Fluoxymesterone) Side Effects
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) contains two main characteristics to worry about: it is regarded as a very androgenic compound,
stronger than Trenbolone which is
regarded as the strongest androgen, and its higher risk of hepatotoxicity. HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) side effects do not include any Estrogen-related
side effects, no matter what the dose is.
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is a very strong androgen, meaning that there is a very
high risk of potential androgenic side effects. Many bodybuilders and athletes
even wish to experience such androgenic side effects like the increase in
competitive drive and aggression.
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is an anabolic steroid that
possesses a very high affinity for interaction with the 5-alpha-reductase (5AR)
enzyme, which is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens into
(normally) much stronger androgenic metabolites. Studies have shown HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) can convert into a very large
amount of stronger androgens by way of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. Therefore,
it may be possible to reduce the intensity of androgenic side effects through
the use of a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, such as Finasteride, Dutasteride, or
Propecia, which all serve to inhibit the 5AR enzyme and prevent a reduction of
androgens into their stronger androgenic metabolites. Still, attention should
be paid because the use of these 5AR inhibitors may not decrease the androgenic
strength of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) because HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) itself is a very androgenic hormone
as it is.
Possible
androgenic side effects include increased sebum secretion (oily skin),
increased bouts of acne (linked to increased sebum secretion), bodily and
facial hair growth, benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), and the increased risk
of triggering Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). The same like all other anabolic
steroids, the use of HALOMED 5
(Fluoxymesterone) can result in HPTA and
Endogenous Testosterone Production Side Effects. The administration of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) will suppress and/or shut down natural endogenous
Testosterone production for the duration of its use. The negative cardiovascular risks and cholesterol
changes can occur during the use of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone).
Dosages and
Administration of HALOMED 5 (Fluoxymesterone)
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) is not a very popular anabolic
steroid, which is fairly difficult to find. It is also very specific in terms
of its uses and purposes. HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) dosages are very odd or very different from the
doses of most other anabolic steroids.
HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) exhibits considerable increases in strength without the very dramatic
increases in muscle size. That is the reason why it is very popular among
athletes in sports in which increases in weight is not needed (such as
wrestling, sprinting, boxing, etc.).
The medical dosage
of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) for the treatment of male androgen
deficiency (andropause or hypogonadism): the original prescription doses are
utilized in a range of 2 – 10mg daily. Anyway, nowadays HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) modern doses will be in the range
of 5 – 20mg daily. During the treatment for female breast cancer patients, the
dose is often much higher, in the range of 10 – 40mg daily.
If
separate HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) doses can be provided for the three
separate types of users, it should be beginner, intermediate and advanced
users. The dose for beginners should be in the range of 10 – 20mg daily,
providing some solid increases in drive, aggression, and strength. Intermediate
users will be happy to find greater strength and drive increases with doses of
20 – 30mg per day. While, advanced users dosage should be up to 30 – 40mg
daily, although this should be done with the utmost caution.
Female
athletes are not recommended to use HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) due to their possession of an
extremely strong androgenic strength rating. HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) holds a higher chance and incidence
of the manifestation of virilization in female users. Proper administration and
timing are very important during the use of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone). HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) half-life is just short enough to allow splitting
up the doses throughout the day – should be, no more than usually twice per
day. Steady blood plasma levels should be kept at all times for optimal
results.
HALOMED 5 (Fluoxymesterone) Cycles and Uses
Because of the
lack of popularity of this compound, there is very limited information about HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) cycles available. HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) cycles will usually include HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) to provide an extra androgenic effect in cycles where weaker androgens
are used (such as DECAMED
250 (Nandrolone Decanoate) or EQUIMED
250 (Boldenone undecylenate)), ‘hardening' the physique during cutting or pre-contest phases, and
for the benefits of increased aggression and strength.
HALOMED5
(Fluoxymesterone) cycles are limited because HALOMED5
(Fluoxymesterone)can only be utilized for 6 – 8 weeks, and often even less.
•
Example of the Beginner HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) Cycle, where mass gaining is the primary concern. 12 weeks of total
cycle time:
- Weeks 1 – 12: TESTOMED
E 250 (Testosterone Enanthate) Enanthate at 300 – 500mg/week.
- Weeks 1 – 6: HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) at 20mg/day.
•
Example of the Intermediate HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) Cycle. 12 weeks of total cycle time:
•
Weeks 1 – 12: TESTOMED
E 250 (Testosterone Enanthate) at 100mg/week. DECAMED
250 (Nandrolone Decanoate) at 400mg/week.
•
Weeks 1 – 6: HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) at 30mg/day. Such cycles provide the ability to utilize ‘mild’ anabolic
steroids (such as DECAMED
250 (Nandrolone Decanoate) or EQUIMED
250 (Boldenone undecylenate)) with the addition of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) to provide a very satisfying anabolic effect on the
user with a lack of Estrogen in the body.
•
Example of the Advanced HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) Cycle. 10 weeks of total cycle time:
•
Weeks 1 – 10: TESTOMED
P 100 (Testosterone Propionate) at 100mg/week (25mg every other day).TRENBOMED
A 100 (Trenbolone Acetate) at 400mg/week (100mg every other day).
•
Weeks 6 – 10: HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) at 40mg/day. This is also a great example for
pre-contest cycle stack with the inclusion of HALOMED
5 (Fluoxymesterone) in the final 6 weeks of the cycle hypothetically leading up to the
contest show. This is considered an extremely androgenic cycle, perfect for
users who wish to come out at the end of the cycle during the show with the
extremely hard and defined 3D look to the physique due to the presence of two
of the strongest androgens available: Trenbolone and Halotestin.
