Proviron is the brand name used for ‘Mesterolone’, which is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS). The medication is primarily used for treating low testosterone levels. Apart from medical use, mesterolone is also used for improving physique and performance. Taken by mouth, it is a controlled substance in many countries; therefore, its non-medical use is generally illegal.

An Introduction to Proviron

Schering AG released the medicine in 1960. During the 1970s and 1980s, bodybuilders began using it as a supplement with anti-aromatase properties. It is known that aromatizable drugs are responsible for fluid retention and gynecomastia. However, when used in combination with an anti-aromatase agent like Proviron, the negative effects decrease.

It has the ability to increase the amount of testosterone in the body while preventing the production of estrogens. On the other hand, Proviron is considered a weak anabolic steroid. This is why it is used in combination with other steroids to increase effectiveness. Additionally, due to its molecular structure, it is not considered to be toxic to the liver. Unlike most oral steroids, it does not contain the c17-alpha-alkylated group, which causes toxicity.

WHAT DOES PROVIRON DO FOR MUSCLES?

It has been noticed that Proviron does not build muscles. Instead, it hardens the existing muscles, which means that it works as a lipolytic or fat-burning steroid. Bodybuilders will discover that gains from Proviron alone are almost non-existent.

As for when to take Privorn, it is used in post-cycle therapy (PCT) in order to keep the increased gains after completing a cycle. It happens due to more free testosterone being released into the bloodstream.

A PROVIRON CYCLE

Bodybuilders use Proviron as part of PCT or as a supplement to enhance a cycle. This is why it becomes a little confusing for some about how to use Proviron. It is more likely to be used as part of the cutting cycle since the body will not aromatize it.

Proviron dosage generally ranges between 50 mg and 100 mg daily. Bodybuilders use it in combination when they are taking more androgen-based compounds in order to build up levels of an anabolic compound. For example, if someone is running a cycle of Winstrol, Anavar, or Primo, they can add Proviron for enhancing the overall look of the muscle.

On the other hand, if a bodybuilder is using it as part of PCT, then a Proviron dosage of 50 mg daily (in combination) is usually enough. For example, it can be combined with Nolvadex or Clomid for promoting natural testosterone production and keeping the negative effects away.

WHY IS PROVIRON PREFERRED?

Proviron is known as a unique compound in the world of anabolic steroids. Many people acknowledge its unique set of traits, which are incomparable to most other compounds used recreationally or by professional bodybuilders.

For as long as people have used anabolic steroids, Proviron has remained one of the favorites. Here are a few Proviron benefits and reasons why many prefer it:

IT DOES NOT AFFECT LIBIDO

Many anabolic compounds are known for causing a libido crash. This is why some people may experience a dampened mood despite the benefits gained from a Proviron cycle. In a similar manner, several other steroids can make a person feel aggressive. On the other hand, if Proviron is used as part of the cycle (50 mg a day), it can prevent the libido from crashing as well as maintain a good mood.

IT ENHANCES ANABOLIC STEROIDS’ EFFECTS

Some people criticize Proviron since it does not help build muscles. This is true as mentioned earlier in this article. However, it has the ability to enhance the mass-building capabilities of the other compounds used in combination with it.

Proviron has a strong affinity for binding with the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). This is why it can increase the amount of bioavailable testosterone in the blood.

IT HARDENS THE MUSCLES

Wet compounds can make the muscles look puffy. Adding Proviron to the stack, you can not only experience your muscles hardening but an aesthetic finish to them as well. It will help you get the look that a fitness model flaunts. This is because mesterolone is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derivative with a strong ability to bind with androgen receptors.

IT IS ANTI-ESTROGENIC

Proviron is among the few compounds that readily bind with aromatase enzymes. This prevents the body from converting testosterone into estrogen. This means that some people may not need a high dose of Arimidex (AI) to counter the estrogen spikes from compounds having an extremely high rate of aromatization.

LOW RISK OF SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS

Proviron is considered to have a low risk of severe side effects even if it is used for weeks. This is favorable given that it is a DHT-derived steroid. However, one must not forget that it is still a steroid and there are some common Proviron side effects. In addition, different people may react to it in varying manners.

It is advisable that if you are planning to take Proviron, then consult a medical professional and a bodybuilding expert. In case you experience side effects of Proviron, talk to your health provider immediately
