    best way to absorb havoc?


    i heard a long time ago that orals are absorbed when taken on an empty stomach, but then in a couple forums i have seen people say it is better to take havoc with food. Is this true? and if so should it be high carb or protein meals, or does it not matter?

    You are thinking of orals that are non 17a-alkylated, those are best absorbed with fats, as steroid hormones are fat-soluble.

    I believe I read an article or study a while back that food actually lowers 17aa steriod absorption (slightly). I believe it had to do with 17aa using a different absorption path.

    I would take Havoc on an empty stomach, if possible.

    I am currently on week 4 of a havoc cycle. As suggested above I believe the best benefits come with taking it on an empty stomach and/or with fish/flax oils.

    I never said he was wrong, but does he give any numbers? I would bet absorption goes from 99% on an empty stomach to 95% with food.

    Results I've gotten from doing it both ways. It just like splitting dianabol up into several doses a day, most users agree it doesn't make much of a difference.

    I believe the issue is the difference between the c-17a and the 17a hormones. From what I am reading the 17aa steroids are lymphatic and not effected by food consumption. The c-17a steroids are lipophilic and are effected by food consumption.

    So in this case being that Havoc is lymphatic and not lipophilic then it would be uneffected by food consumption.

    No, at the end of the day I believe it is not much in terms of a difference. But indeed if it is effected, it is effected. What it is , is what it is.
