Overview and History of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone
Enanthate)
Metenolone enanthate, or methenolone enanthate,
sold under the trade name Primobolan /
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate). Injectable Primobolan is called Methenolone Enanthate, while the oral format is known as Methenolone Acetate. PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is a high-quality
anabolic steroid which is available as
an oil-based injectable form. Together with Trenbolone,
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is the most
popular injectable anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) for cutting cycles.
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is often
compared to a similar anabolic steroid, ANAVAMED 10 (Oxandrolone). Both steroids are considered very ‘mild’ in regards
to potential side effects. But the difference between these two steroids is very big – ANAVAMED
10 (Oxandrolone) possesses a far greater anabolic
strength rating than PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate).
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is considered a
fairly weak steroid, weaker in fact, than Testosterone
itself. It's anabolic/androgenic ratings are very low – it possesses an anabolic rating of 88, and its androgenic
strength rating is approximately 44 – 57. At the same time, PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) has a huge advantage
over most steroids, because that is stronger than testosterone at binding to the
androgen receptor. It is a fantastic steroid
which can be used as the main compound in cutting
cycles and it's a good aid for fat loss. PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate)
is a favorite choice of many competitive bodybuilders.
Primobolan/PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) has always been identified as a European steroid. That was
first released in 1960. Squibb introduced
the drug to the American market in 1962. The product
was marketed under the brand name Nibal Depot (for the
injectable) and Nibal for the oral variant dosed at 20mg per tablet. Later that
year the rights for manufacture of the compound were sold to Schering in West Germany (now Bayer). Schering started to sell it
under the Primobolan trade name. Soon Nibal was
removed from the US market and never returned as a commercial product. Schering
now had exclusive patent rights and consumers had naturally come to identify
this anabolic steroid as a product of Schering.
Although Primobolan/PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone
Enanthate) was never marketed in the United States
after Schering had bought the rights to it, it is still listed as an FDA approved
drug. This fact had enabled American doctors to be able to import it on special
order.
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) can be used within the medical field
by individuals suffering from conditions in which muscle wasting and severe weight
loss is a symptom. This steroid has also been used as an immunostimulant for individuals fighting infections,
wasting conditions, an adjunct to countering the effects of prolonged corticosteroid
therapy, and the treatment of osteoporosis as well as sarcopenia (the loss of muscle
as correlated with aging). The same like ANAVAMED 10 (Oxandrolone), PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is proven to be so mild in its negative effects that
it has also been utilized in children and infants in order to promote weight gain in prematurely born infants without any indications
of ill effects or toxicity. PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is one of the few anabolic steroids that have zero risks of any Estrogenic side effects. Also, its very weak
androgenic strength rating lowers the risk of the potential androgenic side effects.
Chemical Characteristics of PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate)
Primobolan/PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) is a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derivative. It contains one additional double bond between carbons 1 and
2 in the Dihydrotestosterone structure. This helps
to stabilize the 3-keto group and increase the
anabolic strength of the hormone. A 1-methyl group is also added to the hormone,
which protects the steroid against hepatic metabolism and breakdown. The injectable format (Methenolone Enanthate)
in particular is simply Methenolone with the Enanthate ester bound to the Methenolone
chemical structure. ‘Enanthate’ is Enanthoic acid (also known as carboxylic acid),
but once bound to Methenolone it is properly referred to in chemistry as an ester
bond (or ester linkage). Enanthoic acid is attached to the 17-beta-hydroxyl group on the Methenolone structure.
The addition of this ester augments the hormone’s release rate and half-life to
favor a longer window of release. As soon as Methenolone Enanthate enters the bloodstream,
enzymes work to break the bond between the ester and the hormone, which takes a
varying amount of time. This results that when the ester is removed from the hormone
by these enzymes, the pure Methenolone is free to do its work in the body. When
the Enanthate ester is attached
to Methenolone, creating Methenolone Enanthate, the half-life of PRIMOMED
100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is now extended to
10 days, providing a slower release and activity of the hormone.
Properties of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate)
Being a DHT-derivative, PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) holds many of the same
properties as its parent hormone. It is not aromatized by the aromatase enzyme into
Estrogen at any dose, meaning you won't need an aromatase inhibitor (AI)
or SERM with it. Besides, the user should never experience any Estrogen related
side effects while using the PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) alone. This means
that it completely avoids the potential for any of the following side effects: water retention and bloating, elevated blood pressure (as
a result of water retention), possible fat gain/retention, and gynecomastia. Because
of its poor anabolic strength rating, which is lower in strength than TESTOMED E 250 (Testosterone Enanthate), PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is not preferred
by athletes or bodybuilders for bulking cycles, lean mass cycles, or for any measurable
strength gain. That is best to combine
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) with
other anabolic steroids as well, whether utilizing it for a cutting cycle or a bulking
or lean mass cycle. Many anabolic steroid users claim that the use of PRIMOMED
100 (Methenolone Enanthate) alone is a useless
practice because it is useful only at very high doses. Choose PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) if you are looking for increased strength, enhanced muscular endurance,
and recovery in the cutting cycle, where the goal is losing body fat while maintaining
muscle mass.
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) Side
Effects
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is a DHT-derivative and it carries many similar properties
and characteristics, including the inability to convert (aromatize) into Estrogen
at any dose used. This is a very important fact to most users who are worried about
Estrogenic side effects, such as bloating, gynecomastia, high blood pressure as
a result of water retention, etc. PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is often regarded by athletes and bodybuilders as being a ‘mild’ and safe anabolic steroid in comparison to other products.
If used in small clinical doses (20-25 mg daily) PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate)
is described as having a low impact on endogenous testosterone production and HPTA
function, attention should be paid if it is used for physique
or performance-enhancing purposes. In one study, more than half of the patients
receiving only 30-45 mg per day noticed a 15-65% suppression of gonadotropin levels.
It is recommended to perform a proper PCT (Post
Cycle Therapy) following the discontinuation of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate).
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) Cycles
and Use
PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) cycles are commonly in the form of fat loss and/or
cutting cycles. This steroid is almost never used as a bulking or mass-gaining agent,
but it is a great solution to use as a pre-contest drug in the final weeks leading up to a competition show or photo shoot. Many bodybuilders often
combine PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) with other compounds that hold similar qualities, properties, and half-lives.
It is typically cycled with TESTOMED P 100 (Testosterone Propionate)(or TESTOMED E 250 (Testosterone Enanthate)) and use it for the first 8 weeks of a cycle in order to assist in the retention of muscle mass during
periods of low caloric intake. PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) can be run in cycle lengths of 10 – 12 weeks (or longer, depending on the individual’s goals and desires).
Dosages and Administration of PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate)
As mentioned previously, in order to get
good results fairly high doses of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) should be used.
For men, injectable dosages should be 600-800mgs per week or higher. For women,
that is recommended to use only oral Primobolan. Medical prescription dosages of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate)
outline 200mg as a first dosage, followed with
100mg every week for the complete duration of therapy. Depending on the medical
condition of the patient the right dosage of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) is determined. The dosage
can range anywhere from 100mg every one or two weeks to 200mg every two to three
weeks. Beginner dosages of PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) for bodybuilders and athletes normally start at about
400mg per week. Intermediate PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) dosages are usually in the range of 400 – 700mg per
week, which should be adequate enough, and advanced users may venture as high as
800 – 1,000mg per week. Female PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) dosages in terms of safety and minimal virilization
are usually in the range of 50 – 100mg per week. Injectable PRIMOMED 100
(Methenolone Enanthate) tends to be used far less frequently by females than the oral variant,
which is the preferred form for ladies.
Injectable PRIMOMED 100 (Methenolone Enanthate) exhibits a half-life of 7 – 10 days due to the Enanthate
ester and should be administered twice per week, with each injection spaced evenly
apart, in order to maintain stable and steady blood plasma levels.
