There is more than enough info on this product right on the HiTech website. This first sentence literally states "Potent Anabolic Compounds and Prohormones"
The Dianabol® formulation contains numerous Potent Anabolic Compounds and Prohormones that make it one of the strongest muscle-building products on the market. The primary prohormone is the revolutionary compound 3β-Hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-17-one — which is gaining popularity rapidly amongst bodybuilders due to its effects and the ability to do long cycles. This compound is also theorized to show a marked ability for increasing red blood cell production. The favorable properties of this amazing compound are greatly appreciated by athletes. The structure of 3β-Hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-17-one does allow it to convert into estrogen, but it does not have an extremely high affinity to do so. 3β-Hydroxy-1,4-androstadien-17-one is not a rapid mass builder, instead this
1,4 ANDRO compound is looked at to provide a slow but steady gain of strength and quality muscle mass. The most positive effects of this product are seen when it is used for longer cycles, usually lasting more than 8-10 weeks in duration. The muscle gained should not be the smooth bulk seen with androgens, but very defined and solid. Since water bloat is not contributing greatly to the diameter of the muscle, much of the size gained on a cycle of Dianabol® can be retained after the product has been discontinued. The "grand daddy" of all structures the -1,4-androstadien-3-one is also structurally almost identical to methandrostenolone, barring that the latter hormone contains an added c-17alpha methyl group to allow for optimal survival during oral administration. The principal achievement with both steroids was again the C1-2 double bond, which markedly increases the ratio of anabolic to androgenic effect in each case.
(2) 3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one will help reduce water retention from under the skin, thus creating a “dry” and hard appearance. This Prohormone also has moderate anabolic properties thus allowing it to help enhance lean muscle gains. Strength gains will also be noticeable with this amazing compound due to its strong androgenic effect which will activate the central nervous system and increase muscular power. This will increase explosive power with minimal bodyweight increase. The increased aggression is typically a welcomed benefit, which manifests as increased confidence and an “alpha male” feeling in sexual and social activities. The strong androgenic action from this compound will also help support libido and erection hardness.
(3) 3β-Acetoxy-5-androsten-17-one is an acetate ester of an adrenal steroid hormone in the body. It is made by the adrenal glands and is then converted to androgens, testosterone and other hormones. These are the hormones that regulate fat and mineral metabolism, sexual and reproductive function, and energy levels. The acetate version has the most milligrams of actual hormone available with an ester attached to it.
(4) 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone (U.S. patent 4,163,746) aka the “Anabolic Silver Bullet” is an oral anabolic agent that can significantly affect protein metabolism in the body. 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone initiates protein synthesis and this effect triggers positive nitrogen stability helping in building up of protein and thus builds up skeletal muscle mass. During the search for new anabolics in the 1970's, researchers strived to develop an anabolic without steroid status. In 1977 a Hungarian company filed a patent for a new and revolutionary flavone 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone. It works by increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in much the same way steroids do, but without the androgenic side-effects. Patented by pharmaceutical experts Chinoin (US Patent # 4,163,746), 5-methyl-7-methoxyisoflavone is designed to promote muscle growth while at the same time increasing fat loss. For various commercial reasons nothing was ever done with this compound when it was first developed. The search for a supplement that would produce the highly anabolic and sought-after effects of faster muscle growth, recovery, and lean muscle increases, yet avoid the androgenic steroid-like side effects has been an impossible task? Many of the flavones studied over the past several decades would show excellent results in animals and even some in humans via non oral routes. This dilemma has been overcome with Hi-Tech's Cyclosome™ Technology that cause 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone to have a 20 fold increase versus regular encapsulated 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone. There have been several products on the market in the past that only got mediocre results. That is why the only catch with this compound is bioavailability. Unfortunately, without an effective system like Hi-Tech's Cyclosome™ Technology, 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone is not well absorbed and therefore could be rendered ineffective. Several of the flavones that held promise were originally discovered and patented by a Hungarian company who held a patent that did not expire until 1997. Two of these compounds were 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone (U.S. patent 4,163,746) and
(5) 7-Isopropoxyisoflavone has been shown to increase protein synthesis and increase lean mass, but they also reduced body fat, promoted endurance, an increased state of vitality, and increased the body's ability to use oxygen! In other words, these are the definition of the ideal anabolic supplements... Scientific studies give evidence to support these results. In a nutshell, methoxyisoflavone and ipriflavone are non-hormonal anabolic / anti-catabolic compounds. These powerful flavones have been shown to decrease cortisol levels, increase protein synthesis, and improve overall recovery from exercise. With livestock, after just 30 days on 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone, gains in weight average 8-15% in calfs, 7-10% in cattle, 8-20% in poultry and 10-20% in rabbits. All gains were mostly lean muscle tissue. With the Cyclosome technology experts now consider 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone as one of the most effective anabolic agents currently available.
(6) The Dianabol® formulation also contains various compounds to increase anabolic properties and protein synthesis. The first compound is ((25 R)-5alpha-spirostan-2alpha,3beta, 5alpha-triol-6-OH) which show potent anabolic properties and produce an accelerated gain of weight. The increased anabolism and growth in subjects receiving this amazing compound was almost 2 times as high as the control group, yielding astounding anabolic potential. Dianabol® also contains, 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin which helps with a balanced cortisol response, which is the major cornerstone to healthy recovery and reduction of muscle wasting. 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin which tests have shown that protein synthesis increased by over 200%, the key to lean muscle growth and accelerated repair. Dianabol® contains the Russian herbal extract Rhaponticum Carthamoides containing 25R, spirostan-5a-diol-6-one-3-one (Ecdybolin™) with a 33:1 anabolic/androgenic ratio, which has been used by Russian Olympic athletes since the late 1970s. This herb is another hidden jewel. Rhaponticum carthamoides extract (RCE) has demonstrated a normalizing effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. RCE improves sleep, appetite, mood, mental and physical state, and the functional ability of humans under working conditions. It is a classic adaptogen, possessing a wide spectrum of anabolic activities, acting on the contractile proteins of the skeletal muscles. It builds lean muscle, reduces body fat, improves work and/or athletic performance, improves mental acuity, and delays the effects of aging. Extracts of this potent plant have been approved by the Ministry of Public Health in the former Soviet Union over 20 years ago to be used for “raising the mental and physical working ability” and to increase protein synthesis as a pharmacological preparation
(7) Dianbol® contains a new proprietary extract called Diosterol™ from Dioscorea Nipponica Makino has been released in the United States. Diosterol™ is a Precision Anabolic & Androgenic extract designed for hard-training athletes who want to get more out of their workout by boosting Testosterone levels. This potent plant anabolic is a concentrated (Drug to extract ratio: 50-66.7:1) equal to 10-13.4 grams of the whole plant. Diosterol™ is standardized to contain bioactive fractions rich in steroidal furostanolic saponins and glycosides: Progenin III, Pseudoprotodioscin, Methyl Protodioscin, Dioscin, Protodioscin, Iridoid Glycosides, Diosgenin and 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin. Due to the complicated purifying process to identify the active ingredients it takes 2000 lbs of raw Dioscorea to make just 40 lbs of Diosterol™! Diosterol™ has been clinically HPLC tested to be the strongest Dioscorea extract for boosting testosterone levels extract in the world with an average content of over 100 mg of protodioscin per suggested 250mg dose. The total Furostanol Saponins (active ingredients) with up to 60%. Diosterol™ is the only science-based Dioscorea Nipponica Makino extract, standardized to a minimum of 40% Protodioscin, 60% Total furostanolic saponins, and 90% total saponins including Diosgenin and 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin. Protodioscin acts by stimulating the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which plays a role in the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (Viktorof et al. 1994). In addition, protodioscin also stimulates the hypothalamus secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), but not of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The mechanism of protodioscin's action causes increases the production of serum testosterone. Protodioscin has been shown in clinical studies to cause a dramatic increase of Natural Testosterone (up to 40% in 1 week)! Protodioscin causes the body to release luteinizing hormone, which sends a signal to the testes to produce high levels of testosterone. Protodioscin has also been shown to increase muscle mass and strength, and increases libido and aggression. Protodioscin also affects Protein Synthesis, the use of proteins by the body to increase muscle density and lean mass, and a positive nitrogen balance have been attributed to the effects of testosterone. A “positive nitrogen balance” refers to the rate of protein synthesis in the body......this means YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIMILATE PROTEIN AT A MORE RAPID RATE. And since muscle is comprised of and built with protein — the more you can utilize the greater the possibility for growth. So you should eat more protein for faster gains in lean mass.
(8) Last, but not least, is the revolutionary compound Androsterone is a powerful naturally occurring hormone that cannot convert to testosterone, but instead converts to the dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Similar to testosterone, DHT is responsible for masculine traits such as aggression, sex drive, and physical strength. However, because DHT cannot convert to estrogen, it also helps reduce fat storage and water retention, making it an excellent Prohormone for increasing hardness and vascularity.
