CHEM NAME:
Quinbolone
ORIGIN:
Italy
FORM:
Oral
ALSO KNOWN AS:
Anabolicum Vister
USES:
This is Italy’s human rendition of Equipoise. All of the muscle without the hooves, err, something like that. There are a few differences, however, and the major one is this: Anabolicum Vister is esterfied to increase oral bio-availability. Remember, an ester of any sort is formed, along with water, by the reaction of acids and alcohols. So it’s an oil-dissolved steroid that is formed into an oral tablet intended for oral use.
THE GOOD NEWS:
The ester protects the drug through the digestion process, by preventing chemical breakdown in the presence of stomach acids. The good news about this drug is that it doesn’t appear to aromatize and it is not 17-alpha alkylated, so it is not as toxic to the liver as some orals. If you ask us, it’s a great drug to stack in preparing for competition because it isn’t going to put on muscle, but will help you keep what you have without creating unnecessary water retention or other side effects. If you do well with EQ, you’ll do well with this drug too.
THE BAD NEWS:
Sadly, though this AS sounds wonderful and seems like it would be on anyone’s “must have” list, it’s actually much less effective than EQ in the injectable form. In other words, it was a good idea in concept, but not in practice.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
This is a great drug for women. It’s still great for guys, too, but just not as effective as injectable EQ. Still, if you are unable to get EQ but can get this drug, we wouldn’t shun it. Capsules come in 10mg doses, and the minimum you should take is about 8 and the maximum (in the sense that any more would be a waste because it isn’t exponentially better) is 20 capsules. Women can take 40-80 mg daily and it’s a safe amount that gives great returns. It has chick drug written all over it. It’s also cost-effective for women, much more than for men.
SIDE EFFECTS:
A little water retention
FAKES:
None we know of.
EXPENSE RATING:
Expensive
EFFECTIVENESS:
(Scale of 1-10)
For it’s non-aromatizing effects, it gets an 8 as an oral, but for its effectiveness in putting on muscle, A.V. gets a 3 or 4. If a woman is using it, the effectiveness rating, overall, goes up to a 7.
LAST WORDS:
You may want to use this like you would Anavar as a light segue in between cycles or when you are experiencing muscle soreness coming off a big cycle.
