Steroids Detected In Dietary Tablets-Gaspari Halodrol -50

A dietary supplement marketed to fitness and health enthusiasts on the Internet and in body-building shops contains anabolic steroids linked to two of the biggest doping scandals in sports history, including the renowned case involving East German Olympic athletes in the 1960s and '70s, according to a prominent researcher.
The supplement, which is sold under the name Halodrol-50, contains a steroid that closely resembles Oral-Turinabol, the principal steroid used to fuel East Germany's secret, systematic sports doping program, according to Don Catlin of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory
Catlin said it also contains DMT, or madol, a steroid federal authorities say was developed for Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), the California nutritional supplement company at the center of a scheme to provide prominent professional athletes with undetectable performance-enhancing drugs.
Catlin analyzed the makeup of Halodrol-50 for The Washington Post, which purchased the product on the Internet and reimbursed the Los Angeles researcher for the cost of the testing.

Just found some at worldclassnutrition.com...at least there weren't any messages saying it wasn't being sold anymore like at all the other sites I looked at...beware though...just tried to call them & the message I got was that the number was disconnected or not in service.

OK...broke down and ordered some...price wasn't too inflated. Out of the oral AAS I've used I liked d-bol the best with t-bol a close second...so this influenced my decision to try/buy. Used t-bol just over a year ago so hopefully I can 'remember' & accurately compare Halodrol-50 to it, and post my observations.
btw: I'm sure that some will say to use 'real' AAS if you're gonna use this, but, currently, personal factors prevent me from doing so or I would. Also, according to the Washington Post article Halodrol-50 contains: a steroid-substance that "more closely resembles Oral-Turinabol than any other known steroid" and "DMT, or madol, a steroid federal authorities say was developed for Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO)" according to the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory...so, technically it is the real deal.

Got some more info on supps supposedly containing the real deal just in case anybody's interested:
Supplement: Halodrol-50
Steroid: Resembles Oral-Turinabol, which was given to East German athletes without their knowledge in the 1960s and '70s.
Supplement: Ergomax LMG
Steroid: DMT, which Canadian customs officials seized from a sprinter in 2003.
Supplement: Superdrol
Steroid: Resembles an oral version of testosterone.
Supplement: Prostanozol
Steroid: Resembles stanozolol, for which sprinter Ben Johnson and Rafael Palmeiro tested positive.
Supplement: FiniGenX Magnum Liquid
Steroid: Resembles nandrolone and similar drugs that caused many athletes, including shot putter C.J. Hunter, to fail drug tests around the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Supplement: Methyl 1-P
Steroids: Contains two, one resembling androstenedione, the substance Mark McGwire used -- then legally -- in 1998. The other is a progestin, a common ingredient in oral contraceptives.

Interesting....Just took my first one today along with my first serving of Gakic (man does that stuff taste like shit...can't believe they can't do something about the taste).
I'll put my impression of halodrol-50 here...remembering that I'm also taking Gakic & NO2.

Where did you get that info?
According to Don Catlin of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory who tested it for the Washington Post: "The supplement, which is sold under the name Halodrol-50, contains a steroid that closely resembles Oral-Turinabol...Catlin said it also contains DMT, or madol, a steroid federal authorities say was developed for Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO)..."
btw: not sure what "real halodrol" is...do you mean halotestin?

OK...day 7 of halodrol-50. The only other supps I'm taking (besides protein) are a multi-vit, NO2, and glucosamine. I've only been taking the halodrol-50 on weekdays (no weekends) but I def noticed a difference in my workout today. Nothing extreme, but some subtle strength differences on most of my exercises. For the money I paid I def feel that, so far, I've gotten my money's worth. It's hard to say as far as comparison to other orals I've used, but I do think that it is probably comparable to t-bol; in that the benefits that I remember getting from t-bol were also fairly subtle & not as drastic as the gains I got from d-bol.
btw: Although I was taking Gakic, I stopped after using it twice because it did absolutely nothing for me...def a rip-off!
Have taken Haladrol-50 for 20 days (only on week days before I work out) and am quite pleased with the results. Have added about 7 lbs bodyweight (back to where I was during my last dbol/test cycle ~12 months ago) & my lifts have also gone up (again back to where I was on cycle). So, in comparison, I would say that for me Haladrol-50 is comparable to tbol & somewhat comparable to dbol (strength/gains were mildly better on dbol). Again, for what I paid for this supp, I def feel that I've gotten my money's worth so far...and haven't had any sides (no sides on tbol, but had kidney pains on dbol). I know that it is still available on some sites, but the price has gone up dramatically but still seems like a good buy.
Just finished working out after taking my 23rd dose of Halodrol-50 and had the best workout I've had in a long time. Not sure if it was solely due to the Halodrol (also taking NO2 & tried some Instone Leanfire Inferno which I got as a gift) and worked out a little "differently". I work out at a rather well equipped gym at work and usually just mind my own business & concentrate on my workout. For some reason today I got in a rather 'heated political discussion' with a guy I work with about G.W. (guess which way I lean 
...so I spent some time talking in between sets where as I usually just rest long enough to change the weights. Any ways, my poundages were all up & the pump I got was the best pump I've gotten in quite some time. Just to make sure I am going to take the Leanfire with the Halodrol & NO2 tomorrow when I workout...but I definitely like the Halorol-50 & would recommend it to anyone else. Being that I tend to be a low-responder to OTC supps, I consider that a high recommendation.

Being that I tend to be a low-responder to OTC supps, I consider that a high recommendation.24 days of Halodrol-50 basically taken on workout days (4-5 days per week). Here's my assessment of what I'm experiencing: good strength gains from the Halodrol-50 on all exercises; great pumps from the Halodrol-50 & NO2; and great energy from the Instone Leanfire Inferno. This assessment may be totally accurate or the pumps/energy/strength that I am experiencing may be due to all 3 of these supps working together synergistically...but since this combination of supps is working so well for me, I don't want to mess with it (especially due to the fact that I tend to be a 'low responder' to OTC supps).
My overall assessment is that if you want to try an OTC supp that is as close to 'real' AAS that you can get legally, try Halodrol-50 (since it is, according to the Washington Post, a designer supplement that resembles Oral-Turinabol). Also, if you want a supp that increases energy (and tends to suppress your appetite) try Instone Leanfire Inferno.

12lbs. in 7 weeks? Wow. Aside from Whey and creatine I pretty much wrote off ever taking any natural supplements again thinking they were mostly scams. I started a "best supplement since prohormone ban" thread if anyone gets a chance to take a look. Curious if any of the other ones mentioned gave anyone any noticable strength/size increases. I might have to give it a try.

I'm def gonna have to agree with you...combining Halodrol-50 with Instone Leanfire Inferno really gets me amped up for my workouts. The last few days have been some of the best workouts that I can remember...and I've been at it for ~35 yrs
Would def invest in some more Halodrol.alex2678 said:
See the Washington Post article above for more info on Halodrol, but according to lab tests it should be classified as a 'pro-steroid'...with similar molecular structure to tbol and close enough to make it show positive on a tbol drug test (which is what makes it a pro-steroid vs. a designer steroid).

Finished with my box of 30 tabs of Halodrol-50 and my mind hasn't changed from my above assessment of this product. Towards the end of the cycle, the gains/workouts weren't has good as the previous ones, but were still above average (for me). My overall assessment of this product is that if you can get it at a reasonable price (I would use easypricematching.com & do the price match) then it is definitely worth trying. As mentioned above, I took the Halodrol-50 with MRIs NO2 & Instone's Leanfire Inferno (plus the usual multi-vits & protein) and had great workouts & pumps.
Since I tend to be a low-responder to supplements, I consider this a strong recommendation.
thanks for all your feedback smarestick. I am now on day 24, I have also taken OT so I can make a pretty solid comparison. The gains are pretty much the sameas far as strength is concerned, maybe slightly less than OT but still pretty damn close. Sides are a little worse, only side being oily skin and hands leading to increased acne. Not to bad, I am not prone to acne at all so it is definitely coming from the hdrol. libido increase along with sperm volume, just like OT, shooting gallons at a time ha ha . definitely worth buying for 55 bucks, but not much more than that. you can get ot for less from the right place
If you can try the new sub for halodrol, pro-magnon I would give it a shot. Seems pretty similar

Good news. I liked Halodrol-50 enough to order another box...as of last week it was still available at easypricematching.com & if you do the price matching they'll match the price plus give you another 5% off...works good for me since I'm cheap
Not familiar with pro-magnon...is that a new supp?

The illegality of the substance only came to light by independent testing (contracted by the Washington Post). This so-called bad press caused Gaspari to pull Halodrol-50 but suppliers who still had/have a stock of it are free to sell it since no official government action has been taken yet (to my knowledge). Another supp mentioned in the article was Superdrol which also has since been pulled from the market by Anabolic Xtreme with the same resulting circumstances. IMHO all the article did was (1) make the demand for these prods sky-rocket; (2) result in inflated prices for these supps.

No, my understanding is that they are either pro-steroids (close enough to the AAS they are based on to show up on a drug test for that specific compound) & designer steroids (chemically different enough from the AAS they are based on to NOT show up on an AAS test for that specific compound),

You can get Halodrol 50 and Orastan A (not E) here:
http://www.zupplements.com/store/index.php?manufacturers_id=28
I called them, its the "OLD" formula, not the new, less effective one. And, even though they picture on their site is Orastan E they are actually selling Orastan "A" which is 2x as effective as the "E" version.
