Compounds Guide
Detailed profiles of the most commonly used anabolic steroids and related compounds. Each profile includes what it is, what it does, typical dosages, side effects, specific risks, and what to watch for.
These are not recommendations
The dosages and information listed here reflect what is commonly reported in harm reduction communities. This is not medical advice and should not be treated as a guide for use. All anabolic steroids carry risk. If you are going to use, do your research, get blood work done, and be honest with yourself about the risks you are taking.
Risk Levels
Risk levels are relative to other anabolic steroids — not to the general population. Even “lower risk” compounds carry significant health risks compared to not using at all.
Injectables
(2)Testosterone
Also known as: Test, Test E, Test C, Sustanon, Test Prop
The base of almost every steroid cycle. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and the most commonly used anabolic steroid.
Trenbolone
Also known as: Tren, Tren A, Tren E, Tren Ace
One of the most powerful and dangerous steroids in common use. Extremely potent but with a severe side effect profile that makes it unsuitable for most users.
Orals
(2)Anavar (Oxandrolone)
Also known as: Var, Oxandrolone
Often considered one of the 'milder' oral steroids. Popular among beginners and women. Still carries real risks, particularly to cholesterol and liver values.
Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)
Also known as: Dbol, Methandrostenolone, Diana
One of the oldest and most popular oral steroids. Known for rapid mass and strength gains, but with significant water retention and liver strain.
Get Blood Work Done
Whatever compound you are considering or using, blood work is non-negotiable. It is the only way to know what is actually happening inside your body.
