Message: | Halotestin is a good compound for use by athletes because it can greatly increase strength and energy output.
Unfortunately for bodybuilders, its muscle-building attributes are not as effective. Halotestin doesn't convert to estrogen in the body, but it is toxic to the liver, so small doses are recommended.
Structurally Halotestin is a derivative of testosterone, differing from our base androgen by three structural alterations (specifically l7alpha-methyl, 11 beta-hydroxy and 9-fluoro group additions). The result is a potent oral steroid that exhibits extremely strong androgenic properties. This has a lot to due with the fact that it is derived from testosterone, and as such shares important similarities to this hormone. Most importantly, like testosterone, Halotestin appears to be a good substrate for the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This is evidenced by the fact that a large number of its metabolites are found to be 5-alpha reduced androgens, which coupled with its outward androgenic nature, suggests it is converting to a much more active steroid in androgen responsive target tissues such as the skin, scalp and prostate. |
