in conjunction with anabolic steroids?
<< Frequently Asked Questions

• Tamoxifen Citrate (Nolvadex; Tamoxifen; Tamoxan)

Tamoxifen Citrate acts on preventing gynecomastia (aka "bitch tits") by blocking the receptor sites in the breast area. It is usually used with drugs that are easily converted to Estrogen (i.e. Testosterone and Anadrol). It comes in 10-40 mg tablets.

• Clomiphene Citrate (Clomid; Omifin; Serophene)

Clomid is a drug that is used to normalize the function of the testes. It acts directly on the hypothalamus to produce Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulated Hormone thus increasing the level of Testosterone in the body.

• Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Chorex; Gonic; Pregnyl)

HCG is a drug used to jump start the body's own production of testosterone after the end of a steroid cycle. It act in the body by imitating the action of Luteinizing Hormone (a hormone that regulated testosterone production).

• Ephedrine HCL (Dymetadrine, Theodrine, plus many over the counter expectorants)

Ephedrine is used medically as an expectorant and is found in many over the counter drugs. Strength athletes use Ephedrine for it's thermogenic/anticatabolic effects; many Bodybuilders compare the effect of Ephedrine to those of the much stronger drug Clenbuterol. Ephedrine is usually used in conjunction with Caffeine and Aspirin.

• Clenbuterol Hydrocloride (Clenasma; Navegam; Spiropent)

Clenbuterol is not a steroid compound but its effects are similar to steroids. It is a beta-2-symphatomimetic compound available in various forms of administration, including syrups, drops, liquids, dosing aerosols, injectable solutions, and granules.

Clenbuterol causes muscle growth in tandem with strength gain. Clenbuterol, most importantly, has a strong anti-catabolic effect that decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell. It is because of this effect numerous athletes use Clenbuterol as an after-steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus obtain/retain maximum strength and muscle mass.

• Human Growth Hormone (Genotropin; Humatrope; Saizen)

hGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary (the pea-size organ deep behind your nose). This hormone is used by weight trainers to promote protein anabolism and the release of body fat into the bloodstream.
