since JAMs mdrol came out, i have wondered how people came to the conclusion that it was oral masteron? would you get big gains from masteron?
and i was under the impression that proviron was essentially oral masteron, given that proviron is 1-methyl-dihydrotestosterone and masteron is 2-methyl-dihydrotestosterone?
Superdrol has a chemical stucture of 2a,17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one.
2a,17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one is a derivative of Drostanolone (also called Dromostanolone), which is also known as Masteron (in the commercial AAS). Drostanolon has a chemical structure of 2a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one. Drostanolon is the 2-methylated form of DHT, so it has typically been used for reducing body-fat and water retention, while increasing muscle hardness and density, as it cannot form estrogen.
Now, 2a,17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one is a derivative of Drostanolon, so it is structurally similar, except it is a di-methyl instead of (just) a methyl. It has one methyl in the 17th position, just like M-1-t and M-Dien. But it has a 2nd methyl in the 2nd position, which is un-like the other Methyls which we are familiar with.
So this is how the derivative differs from standard Drostanolon, in that it has another methyl in the 17th position (as standard Drostanolon has one in the 2nd position, and not the 17th like M-1-t).
Also, it is a saturated modified form of anadrol, so you get the best of both worlds without the progesterone, estrogen, bloat, hypertension problems with anadrol.
I think Sldge has one study abouts its positioning effects for estrogen reduction. Zero estrogen conversion with this one, because it's 5-reduced and A-ring alkylated on top of that. Also, the parent compound (masteron) is used exclusively as an anti-neoplastic for metastatic breast cancer, so it's a strong anti-e.
Sldge has named the chem. methasteron and the product Supderdrol.
2a,17a-dimethyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one has an extremely favorable Q (anabolic/androgenic) ratio. Q ratio = 20 (m-1-t is between 5-16, depending on assay). 20% as androgenic as 17a-MT oral (the reference standard); (m-1-t is 100-220% as androgenic as 17a-MT, for comparison). Superdrol is 400-800% as anabolic as the reference standard (17a-MT); (m-1-t is 910-1600% comparatively). i.e. It looks very, very favorable on paper, and the initial tester reports (logs on AM) back this up so far.
Make more sense? The position of the methylation in masteron does not make it bioavailable when taken orally. The additional methylation in a different location on the chemical structure chain in superdrol makes it bioavailable orally.
that's why it is called oral masteron.
