pharmaceutical companies add ingredients to increase the bioavailablilty of orals, which they don't have to list on the label. With the right ingredients blood plasma levels can be 10 times as much compared to taking only the pure substance. It also varies in individuals how much of the compound is taken up in the intestinal track.mr.cuts said:This makes absolutely no sense! 5mg of Methandrostenolone equals 5mg of Methandrostenolone! The differences you experienced must have been due to some sort of placebo effect.
This is only a problem of orals, injectibles only need preservatives.
in a '76 scientific study in The Lancet they used 100mg dbol per day on their subjects. this was considered a low and safe dosage and liver values did not change over the whole course which took some 3 months. one could guess that bodybuilders in that era used that 100mg/d mark as the lower end of dbol dosage range.
