Parabolan

Quick info about Parabolan

Parabolan is neither affected by aromatase or 5alpha-reductase. This means it becomes neither weaker nor stronger in androgen responsive target tissues, a trait usually shared by DHT (DyhydroTestosterone) derived steroids; since Parabolan is of course a trenbolone, it is not actually DHT derived but rather is derived from 19-Nor­testosterone.

Parabolan has no estrogenic activity (it may actually reduce serum estradiol levels in the body), is a very strong anabolic and androgenic compound (5x stronger than testosterone in both categories!) and binds well to the androgen receptor. Some steroids even increase the numbers of AR in muscle and fat, leading me to speculate that the fat losing effect would be amplified with the concurrent use of other compounds, such as injectable testosterone. Parabolan also happens to bind quite strongly to the glucocorticoid receptor as well, and this in turn imparts a nice anti-catabolic effect. This, in part, may help to explain why low(ish) doses of it seem to work nicely, as well as why it aids fat loss.

This drug stacks well with mostly everything, especially testosterone (actually, if you want to avoid sexual dysfunction, stacking it with test is necessary). It could be a great addition to a stack containing Eq as well, unfortunately the insomnia the Parabolan gives added to the appetite the Eq gives makes midnight snacking almost inevitable.

Parabolan is most often used in cutting stacks when "quality muscle" gain is favored over bloat and water retention. Really, I think Parabolan (or any Tren) is a great "cutting " anabolic, although it has been used successfully by many in both Cutting and Bulking cycles.

Some users of Para report sexual dysfunction (Tren-Dick) and symptoms of gyno (probably progesterone related, as Trenbolone acts on progesterone receptor but not the estrogen receptor). Ironically, even though Para is an excellent cutting drug, it will lower your thyroid level.

The worst effect of any sort of Tren is "Tren cough" which some people get for the first 2 weeks of a cycle including this compound. Tren Acetate gives a crippling Tren-cough for the first week or so. Also, any kind of Tren causes a bit of insomnia, which is common for many users. The most noticeable side effect of Parabolan is that it increases sweating dramatically, even causing vicious "night sweats" that go nicely with the insomnia.
