Can winstrol seal growth plates?

[Gman1]

someone asked me and im not sure of the answer, just checking if anyone knows here...i know that when your on more androgenic compounds that the elevated estrogen in your body is what contributes towards closing growth plates...and info would be cool.... thanks...

No... It doesnt aromatize.

i wouldnt say no indefinitely.

I may be mislead, but don't all Anabolic steriods close growth plates?

 

[Roc86]

Only compounds that aromatize, EX, test, dbol, drol, etc. Things like winstrol and anavar do not. Var is actually given to kids slow to enter puberty and has been reported in some cases to be more effective than GH. However, youll still have test shutdown so youd best run a good pct neverless. ps, how old are you

Actually, Drol is also derived from DHT and is therefore structurally incapable of conversion to estrogen for the same reason Winstrol is.

By your logic trenbolone would not close growth plates.

 

[Roc86]

ok ok, my bad ....

ANAVAR and WINSTROL do not aromatize and do NOT stunt growth.

thanks fellas!

Aromitization of androgen to estrogen receptors induce periosteal formation and growth plate closure. The Roc is right.
