The statement below was taken from Designer Supplements and Anabolic Extreme.
While both 2-ene™ and 3-ene are as equally unfriendly to the
liver, milligram for milligram, 2-ene™ is also roughly twice as anabolic, therefore efficiency favours 2-ene™. In a nutshell,
there is little need to include 3-ene in your cycle or stack, when 2-ene™ is the compound causing the Page 1 significant effects.
Don’t be naive to expect this product to be without side effects. The most common and greatest side effect is oily
skin, and consequence, increased acne.
Gynecomastia or “gyno” is the side effect users are most afraid of when using prohormones or androgens. As stated,
there is a chance of very mild indirect aromatisation with 2-ene™ (from a metabolite, as it cannot aromatise directly
itself), and thus the chances of developing gyno are certainly there, but for the most part this effect is highly unlikely,
unless stacking with other aromatising compounds that may increase the potential or using doses above what has
been recommended.
An effect present with all 17aa compounds is the usual unfriendly acquaintance with the liver. The negative side affects
ranges from increased “bad” cholesterol formation (low density lipoprotein – “LDL”), reduced “good” cholesterol
formation (high density lipoprotein - “HDL”), distorted liver enzymes and poor blood profiles. For this reason, and for
the fact that 2-ene™ will cause HPTA shutdown despite being a pheromone, we strongly advice that all users cycle
the product.
Suggested Dosing
Fora 200lb bodybuilder, the ideal
starting dose is approximately 20mg per day.
The dose can be adjusted after several days of use if the effects are too strong (and thus reduced) or the user wishes
to try higher doses. For the most part, it is generally considered that no one user will have to exceed a dose of 30mg
per day, with doses split as evenly as is practical throughout the day.
While “on”…
During your cycle, with methylated compounds, liver protection should be paramount. Anabolic Xtreme Perfect Cycle
is a very good idea for this, despite the claims that use “on-cycle” may affect absorption. Red yeast rice has also
recently became quite a popular addition to cycle ancillaries, due it’s small lovastatin content – an agent that helps
lower LDL levels (“bad” cholesterol).
Prohormone and androgen use that affects the liver negatively also tends to increase free radicals within the body.
Good contenders to combat this are Glucophase XR™, which, as well as being a very potent nutrient partitioner, also
happens to be a very strong anti-oxidant due to it’s k-r-alpha lipoic acid content; and NAC (N-acetylcysteine) which
is also very effective at achieving this.
Of course the Anabolic Xtreme liver protecting product Perfect Cycle™ caters for milk thistle, NAC and r-alpha lipoic
acid in one easy to take capsule.
It is also a very sensible idea to always have an anti-estrogenic compound on hand. The popular SERM (selective
estrogen receptor modulator) tamoxifen citrate (“Nolvadex”) is usually the drug most will suggest, however this is
a prescription drug, therefore obtaining any quantity of it is a grey-area indeed. There are available supplementary
compounds that can block the process of testosterone-to-estrogen conversion (called “aromatisation”) that can be
substituted for Nolvadex if obtaining an Rx drug is not within your ethical stance. In fact, many consider the aromatase-
inhibiting product Rebound XT™ to be superior to Nolvadex for prevention of gyno and ensuring that estrogenbloat
is minimal.
When “off”…
Upon cessation of your prohormone, androgen or stack should follow several weeks of what is commonly referred to
as “PCT” – post-cycle therapy (or treatment). This period of time usually reflects the length of time you spent “on” the
cycle and is when you attempt to re-establish your own natural testosterone production which has been reduced due
to the intake of the prohormone or androgen. This period of time should be more than simply taking a product to aid
you. It should be a well regimented practice including avoiding ultra-high volume training, avoiding training beyond
failure, ensuring calories and carbs stay high, increasing zinc intake and avoiding drugs such as alcohol that have
detrimental effects on the objective we are aiming to achieve.
The first port of call is to have a tool that will control estrogen while boosting your own testosterone production to
ensure you retain as many of your on-cycle gains as possible. This is where a product such as Rebound XT™ really
excels.
When testosterone levels are low, levels of cortisol tend to be high, which is incredibly detrimental to the objective
of retaining muscle tissue. A product such as Lean Xtreme™ can prove to be invaluable in this respect as it helps
antagonize the catabolic effects as well as reduce cortisol within the body, and is not just constrained in the liver like
other cortisol blockers available.
Liver protection during this period is also still of concern, so continuation of the intake of milk thistle and red yeast rice
is still recommended, as is a good anti-oxidant like Glucophase XR™. Fenugreek has also recently become popular
for recovering testicle volume and size.
