What is Turinabol?
Turinabol (Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone) is an oral anabolic steroid developed in East Germany during the 1960s. It was originally created to help athletes build strength and performance without the bulk. It became famous after being used in state-sponsored sports doping programmes for decades.
Quick Facts
| Active Ingredient | Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (4-Chloro-17α-methyl-testosterone) |
| Half-life | 16 hours |
| Form | Oral tablet |
| Dose (Men) | 20–50mg per day |
| Dose (Women) | 5–10mg per day (low dose only) |
| Detection Time | Up to 12 months (long-term metabolites) |
| Anabolic Rating | 54 |
| Androgenic Rating | 6 |
How Does It Work?
Turinabol binds to androgen receptors and promotes nitrogen retention and protein synthesis in muscle tissue. It also reduces sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which means more free testosterone is available in the body. Crucially, it does not convert to oestrogen, so water retention is not a concern.
What It's Used For
- Building lean, quality muscle without excess water weight
- Improving strength and athletic performance
- Cutting cycles where a dry, hard physique is the goal
What to Expect
Results with Turinabol are steady and gradual rather than dramatic. You can expect clean muscle gains, improved strength, and better recovery over a 6–8 week cycle. Because there is no water retention, the muscle you gain tends to be easier to keep after the cycle ends.
Possible Side Effects
- Liver strain due to 17-alpha alkylation — liver support is essential
- Suppression of natural testosterone production
- Mild androgenic effects such as oily skin or hair thinning in sensitive individuals
Cycle & Dosage Notes
A typical cycle runs 6–8 weeks at 20–50mg per day, split into two doses due to the 16-hour half-life. Post-cycle therapy (PCT) with Nolvadex or Clomid is recommended after the cycle to restore natural testosterone levels. Turinabol stacks well with testosterone base compounds for added size, or with Anavar for a leaner cutting approach.
Storage
Keep at room temperature (15–25°C), away from light and moisture. Leave in the original packaging.
