Tren Xtreme, Extreme Tren, Tren 250 and Trenbolen are the most popular brands under which a progestin steroid called 19-nor-4,9(10)-androstadienedione (aka 19-norandrosta-4,9(10)-diene-3,17-dione and esta-4,9,(10)-diene-3,17-dione) is sold. This synthetic steroid (commonly known as "Tren") imitates the effects of testosterone in the male body including the testosterone-suppression effects which excess testosterone levels produce. Thus although ingestion of Tren can result in dramatic muscle gain, it can also produce the same "roid rage" and testicular degeneration associated with testosterone ingestion.
The marketing for these Tren brands highlight and repeatedly stress the fact that because, unlike testosterone and testosterone prehormones, Tren cannot convert to estrogen, and therefore Tren will not produce estogen-associated side effects such as bloating or gynecomastia (commonly known as gyno, which consists of a hard and painful mass in the breast). Unfortunately this is not correct. Use of Tren can, and in many has resulted in gynecomastia, a condition which usually requires surgery to remedy. This may be due to Tren's suppression of estrogen or its progesterone-like effects or a combination of those effects. Whatever the mechanism, Tren is a powerful anabolic steroid and will soon be controlled as such by the FDA.
Unfortunately, because Tren has not been under FDA control, this powerful steroid has been marketed as a safe alternative to controlled anabolic steroids such as testosterone and its prohormones. Unsuspecting consumers of this powerful steroid, marketed as a "dietary supplement", have been surprised to experience all of the classic symptoms of an anabolic steroid such as the welcomed muscle gain but also the unwelcomed anger, aggression and gynecomastia. The gynecomastia comes as a particularly unpleasant surprise since these brands specifically advertise that the "supplement" does not cause gynecomastia.
