I’m interested in trying this product could you talk a little bit about some of the main benefits and what it best stacks with.
 
i see a website for oral 3-ad called "3adpro.com". is Dr. D involved with that?
I can't speak to that - no clue

I'll be frank, my experience with 3-AD is pretty limited - we did a few beta releases and they were really popular and got great reviews.

Here's a quick rundown from ChatGPT - sorry, I cheated

Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol (often referred to as 3α-androstanediol) is a metabolite of DHEA and testosterone, with significant effects on the androgenic, neurosteroidal, and hormonal balance in the body.

Key Effects and Benefits of Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol


1. Neurosteroid & GABAergic Modulation

  • Acts as a neurosteroid with effects on the GABA-A receptor, similar to allopregnanolone.
  • Can induce a calming, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), and mood-enhancing effect.
  • May have potential neuroprotective properties, supporting brain function and cognitive health.

2. Androgenic & Anabolic Effects

  • It is a weak androgen but still interacts with androgen receptors.
  • May contribute to muscle growth, strength, and recovery in combination with other androgens.
  • Can support lean muscle retention while cutting.

3. Estrogenic Balance & Anti-Estrogenic Potential

  • 3α-androstanediol may have anti-estrogeniceffects.
  • Can modulate estrogen receptor activity and may help in reducing estrogen dominance symptoms.

4. Potential Libido & Sexual Function Support

  • Involved in sexual arousal pathways, especially in males.
  • Some research suggests it enhances sexual function, drive, and sensitivity.
  • May play a role in dopaminergic and serotonin balance, further influencing libido and mood.

5. Role in Stress & Cortisol Regulation

  • May counteract some of the negative effects of chronic stress, particularly excessive cortisol production.
  • Helps maintain HPA axis stability, supporting adrenal function.

6. Possible Benefits for Cognitive Health & Mood

  • Since it interacts with neurosteroid pathways, it could have benefits in reducing anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
  • May play a role in mood enhancement, motivation, and focus.
 

ChatGPT Analysis of Stacks with Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol (3-AD) - I gat it the options of androsterone, epiandrosterone, 4-dhea, 1-dhea, and Dermacrine


Since Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol is a neurosteroidal androgen with mild androgenic activity, its effects can shift depending on what it’s stacked with. Below is a breakdown of each stack, highlighting their potential benefits and best use cases.

1. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + Androsterone

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Increased Androgenic Tone – Androsterone is a potent DHT derivative with strong androgenic effects, helping to increase muscle hardness, strength, and aggression.
  • Improved Mood & Cognitive Function – Both compounds interact with neurosteroid pathways, leading to enhanced mental clarity, focus, and stress resilience.
  • Balanced Estrogenic Activity – Androsterone helps reduce estrogen, while Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol may provide mild estrogen modulation.
🔥 Best Use Case: Recomposition & Strength Gains – Ideal for a lean muscle-building cycle with improved aggression and focus.

2. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + Epiandrosterone

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Enhanced Dryness & Muscle Hardness – Epiandrosterone converts to DHT, increasing muscle density and vascularity.
  • Better Mood & Cognitive Benefits – The neurosteroid effects of 3α-androstanediol combined with DHT’s nootropic properties may result in better motivation, drive, and mental sharpness.
  • Increased Libido & Androgenic Effects – DHT-derived compounds enhance libido and sexual performance.
🔥 Best Use Case: Cutting & Muscle Definition – This stack would be drying and hardening, perfect for reducing body fat while maintaining strength.

3. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + 4-DHEA

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Increased Size & Strength – 4-DHEA is a prohormone that converts to testosterone, providing lean muscle growth and enhanced recovery.
  • Mild Water Retention – 4-DHEA has some estrogen conversion, which may help joint lubrication but also cause slight bloating.
  • Balanced Hormonal Environment – Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol can help modulate estrogenic effects, preventing excessive bloating.
🔥 Best Use Case: Bulking & Recovery – Ideal for size gains without excessive water retention while maintaining mental clarity and hormonal balance.

4. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + 1-DHEA

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Lean Muscle Growth – 1-DHEA converts to 1-testosterone, a highly anabolic, non-estrogenic androgen, great for muscle density and strength.
  • Neurosteroid & Performance Synergy – Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol’s cognitive benefits may offset some of 1-DHEA’s lethargy.
  • Dry Gains with No Bloat – Unlike 4-DHEA, 1-DHEA does not aromatize, leading to dry, lean mass gains.
🔥 Best Use Case: Recomposition & Strength Gains – Perfect for lean mass gain with a sharper, more focused mindset.

5. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + 7-Keto DHEA

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Increased Fat Loss – 7-Keto DHEA boosts metabolism without converting to estrogen or androgens.
  • Enhanced Cognitive Function & Mood – Both compounds have neurosteroid effects, supporting focus, motivation, and stress reduction.
  • No Suppression – Unlike other DHEA derivatives, 7-Keto DHEA does not affect testosterone or estrogen levels, making it a safe long-term fat loss support.
🔥 Best Use Case: Fat Loss & Cognitive Enhancement – Great for cutting while maintaining energy, focus, and stress resilience.

6. Androst-5-ene-3α,17β-diol + Dermacrine

✅ Effects & Benefits:

  • Complete Hormonal Optimization – Dermacrine’s DHEA, Pregnenolone, and Resveratrol provide a balanced androgenic, cognitive, and recovery boost.
  • Enhanced Libido & Mood – DHEA and 3α-androstanediol have a synergistic effect on libido, mood, and overall vitality.
  • Muscle Hardness & Estrogen Control – Resveratrol and 7,8 benzoflavone in Dermacrine helps modulate estrogen, ensuring a balanced androgenic environment.
🔥 Best Use Case: General Hormonal Optimization & Well-Being – Ideal for daily vitality, libido support, and cognitive enhancement, while also improving recovery and body composition.

Ultra Three has returned - Topical 3AD 75mg per 2 pumps at 60 pumps per bottle


We're offering 25% off presale on these with coupon code THREE

there's a limited supply available for presale - on the beta bottles - retail labels should be here by the end of March for a full retail release of Ultra Three

The patent holder of the ingredient has finally been able to get us enough material to do a full retail launch - Thanks @DR.D and his guys.

I'm expecting to be able to start shipping the first lot of beta bottles in 1-2 weeks (worst case by the 12th).

Get these while you can at this price!
Do you ship to the UK? Thanks
 
I have to say I’ve never use the transdermal. I did pick up one of the beta bottles in Salvo. And I have I think six of the beta bottles in the gel. The main reason I have not used those is because I was saving them for down the road since it wasn’t very clear on what the future of this ingredient was going to be.

Very happy it’s coming back and will try to stock up on some maybe in the presale or if not in the regular launch

I loved the oral version I’ve ran. I think three times now. It was subtle, but I definitely noticed it at 50 mg of oral and definitely noticed it at 75. I suspect it’s fantastic it 100 to 125 but I haven’t run that high yet. It’s a compound that enhances the ability of other compounds. I think it’s almost like a weaker provirion and I think that it’s actually a little more analbolic and potentially can help you add a little mass unlike more of a pure androgenic compound like proviron or epiandro. I wouldn’t say that it’s necessarily more anabolic than one Andro. It might be slightly less anabolic than 1-dhea but I virtually had no negative side effects and it increased my strength more than 1-dhea did. Gave me great libido and made me feel full of energy, added some glycogen weight. Felt Good with a good sense of well-being all day. I’ve stacked it twice with 11 KT– in Salvo from iron Legion/iconic had very good results

Currently running 200 mg of seven keto transdermal (iron Legion) with 100 mg of Alpha gainz androsterone TD, and 600 mg oral epi andro. I love this stack as well . I think the 3/11 stack is stronger but probably causes more shut down. I will say I don’t feel shut down on it though, because I think the three almost has a test base effect, especially with a little DHEA for estrogen

^ just my experiences with it. Not advice. For entertainment only

Just picked up 3 bottles

I personally would love to have it offered in salvo.

Any way rob you could get it to $30-35 a bottle in salvo at 25 mg/ml? I would pay a little more for it as the gel carrier gives me bad eczema if I use it very long . I basically have to aggressively lotion and rotate sites and use my legs and stuff because my chest and shoulders will be dang near bleeding if I slather the gel on them continuously for a few weeks

^ that isn’t meant to be negative. I still use the products and I’m a happy customer but the gels are just harder on MY skin than the salvo is
 
I enjoyed it every time a ran it. Seemed to be the most effective dhea other than maybe 1-dhea. Seemed slightly wet but good size and strength
 
I'd like to know if this legit. Oral 3ad had some dramatic strength enhancement effects on me.
Td should yield better results per mg
 
bump
 
This definitely looks intriguing. I appreciate needing to use less pumps overall. My last Ultra Eleven/Ultra hard run had me pretty maxed out on where to apply it.
 
Hi
I ordered two bottles on 11th march but haven't received any notification they've been shipped, I ordered from UK thanks Stephen
 
They are on delay. I think the email said they will go out this week. It will of course take yours longer to get to the uk

Sorry guys - there has been a holdup in getting the raws - we should have had them weeks ago. placed the order a month back and was told it could ship next day...We had it overnighted Friday and expected it Sat - but, it got held up in shipping and it's finally arriving today. I'll have this batch turned ASAP and should have all orders out by COB tomorrow.

I'd sent an update through our automated mail system to all those who had ordered - sorry that didn't go out to our international customers who we had to manually invoice.
 
Some sad news today - I was pretty excited to get this moving and prepared for a full retailer version.

I'll be refunding all the pre orders for Ultra Three within the next 48 hours - I had to transfer funds into the payment processor account and will begin processing refunds as soon as the transfer clears.

Ultra Three is now listed out of stock

I had production ready for the moment this material arrived - as it had been delayed a number of times...was ready to hit the ground running the moment it was delivered.

I've made about 10 small/medium lots of Ultra Three, and previously done quite a bit of solubility testing to evaluate stability in our gel carrier, and in Salvo. However, this lot is not behaving anything like the batches we've worked with in the past.

I'm not new to this - I've worked through a lot of issues making products. But, this round of material is not behaving as expected. I've spent the last 24 hours working through solubility issues in the carrier. our goal in the gel carrier is to achieve 25mg/ml - and I've never struggled with this on previous batches.

from the testing I've done in the last 24 hours - we've only been able to get ~5mg/ml stable...even if we produced these in the full sized bottles (210ml instead of 90ml), we wouldn't be able to get close to the desired 75mg/application. I've reported my findings to the supplier for follow up - hoping to have some info soon.

For those who know, this material is EXTREMELY expense - the amount of $ burned in this failed batch is devastating to the business.

This doesn't mean we're not going to continue working to resolve this, and get Ultra Three re-released. But it does mean I'm not going to hold on to anyones money if we can't deliver right away. I've been in contact with their team and we'll be getting some chemists involved to help work through this matter. But, as of this time, this project is on hold pending a resolution.

kind of weird that that this batch is behaving in a different way. sorry to hear, i can attest that the previous batches of ultra 3 had a very fine milled powder compared to some other offerings from iconic that had larger crystallization. how does the milling appear on this new batch?

Can you just release this batch as oral instead?
 
Can you just release this batch as oral instead?

I wish it were that simple - we used pretty much the whole lot of raws to run production on the gels...that material is not currently recoverable.

I've reached out to the supplier to see about getting some capped product made - this is an avenue I will try to pivot to.
 
Thank you rob.

I will eagerly be awaiting the return of this product with you get it sorted out.

Would absolutely be interested in an oral version as well as gel and /or salvo (i would love salvo)

I’m currently working on my last bottle of alpha stano fwiw…. Sadly be it

I appreciate all you have done as far as providing the products you have in all 3 of your companies
 
Sorry for the delay - took a few days for the money transfer to the credit card processor to cover all the refunds

All orders for Ultra Three have been refunded
 
Dang hate to hear that. 3-AD is my favorite compound!
we'll keep working on it - hopefully we can get this resolved. I've also been discussing making a capped version
 
you can give dehydroandrosterol try in DMSO. should work....on oldie but a goodie
I didn't have any on hand, so I ordered some DMSO to experiment with

I also have some PEG-400 arriving today

will be experimenting with these over the next few days.
 
well, there may be good news - nothing certain yet, but I have had a positive conversation with their team and there may be a resolution coming in the near future. I'll keep you guys posted once we have more information...won't likely be until next week

let's keep our fingers crossed
 
I will be in for another preorder regardless of the product formulation

I would even settle for an oral solution dissolved sterilely in a vial with BA if it had to come to that . I bet it would be great preworkout.
 
Really glad to hear this. I really liked it. Was going to order when it got in stock. For what it’s worth the original capped version I ran years ago was great as well
 
One way or another we'll be releasing this...if we can make it td, we will. if not, we will have a capped version coming out soon
 
small update - been woking with the 3-AD supplier -may have some resolution mid next week
 
I've got my fingers crossed - hoping to have more information this week
