Description
Parabolan, known generically as trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate, is an anabolic steroid (AAS) primarily used in veterinary medicine to promote muscle growth and appetite in livestock. It is also utilized by bodybuilders and athletes for its potent anabolic properties, which can enhance muscle mass, strength, and overall physical performance. Parabolan is typically administered via intramuscular injection.
Side effects of Parabolan may include symptoms of masculinization such as acne, increased body hair, voice changes, and alterations in libido. The drug acts as a powerful androgen and is a strong agonist of the androgen receptor (AR), the biological target of androgens like testosterone. Parabolan is known for its significant anabolic effects, which make it effective for muscle building, while also having a relatively low tendency to convert to estrogen.
Parabolan was first introduced for veterinary use in the 1980s and has since gained popularity among athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote lean muscle gains and improve physical conditioning. Its unique properties allow for a favorable muscle-to-fat ratio, making it a sought-after compound in the realm of performance enhancement.
Medical uses
While Parabolan is primarily used in veterinary medicine, it has been explored for potential applications in human medicine, particularly in the context of muscle-wasting conditions and severe weight loss. However, it is not approved for human use by regulatory agencies and is often used off-label in bodybuilding and athletic circles. Its effectiveness in promoting muscle growth and enhancing performance has made it a controversial substance, often subject to scrutiny in competitive sports.
