DHB, also known as
Dihydroboldenone/DHB powder supplier
or 1-Testosterone, has gotten a lot of hype in the past few years in
the bodybuilding community.Guys are always looking for the new exotic
steroid to try.It's almost like a form of shiny object syndrome.
Juice heads are looking for the next best thing, and as soon as a
hormone they haven't tried starts getting some traction in the
community, they jump on the bandwagon assuming that this new hormone
must hold the key to unlocking their true bodybuilding potential.
The fact of the matter is that 1-Testosterone has been around for
quite some time, however, it just was never seen as efficacious enough
to pursue in a therapeutic context.
What Is DHB?
DHB is a synthetic androstane steroid and a derivative of
dihydrotestosterone (DHT).It is more commonly known as the 5-alpha
reduced metabolite of Boldenone (Equipoise).Just like how Testosterone
interacts with 5-alpha reductase to produce dihydrotestosterone (DHT),
Boldenone 5-alpha reduces into DHB (Dihydroboldenone).
Among many using this hormone in a performance enhancing context, it
is reported to be formidable to Trenbolone in regards to muscle
building potential, but with a more favorable side-effect profile.
Advocates of the dihydroboldenone claim that it is twice as strong
as Testosterone.This claim is typically based on the premise that DHB
features an anabolic to androgenic ratio of 200/100.Thus, it is implied
to be twice as tissue selective as Testosterone, milligram for
milligram.Unlike its parent hormone, DHB features no estrogenic effects,
which is seen as a desirable trait among those seeking efficacious
steroids to use in conjunction with Testosterone.
Boldenone (Equipoise) Vs DHB (Dihydroboldenone)
Boldenone (Equipoise) is a derivative of Testosterone that was
created by adding a double-bond between carbon atoms one and two.This
bond dramatically slows aromatization and makes the steroid a poor
substrate for 5-alpha reductase.While Boldenone is a substrate for
5-alpha reductase and can be converted into DHB, the amount converted by
even a high dose of Boldenone is not substantial.
Although Boldenone inherently has strong anabolic effects and
moderate androgenic effects, DHB is perceived by many in the
bodybuilding community as the superior hormone in a muscle building
context.Mega-dosing EQ in order to try and achieve moderate serum
concentrations of DHB is a strategy that has been deployed by many
bodybuilders in the past.
Due to the parent hormone Equipoise being such a poor substrate for
5-alpha reductase, an increasing number of bodybuilders have started to
simply opt to use straight DHB instead.
