Alpha-One
Nomenclature: Methyl-1-Etiocholenolol-Epietiocholanolone, or 17a-methyl-1-androstene-3b,17b-diol
Originally marketed by Legal Gear as Methyl-1-Alpha, this is 17a-methylated version of 1-AD, so whereas 1-AD converted to 1-Test, M1AD converts to M1T (aka Methyl 1-Testosterone). While M1T is banned in the US, there is currently no legislation against this "prohormone" to it.
According to Vida, it's roughly as androgenic as methyl test, but around four times as anabolic (M1T is roughly twice as strong as M1A on both counts, according to the same source). The conversion rate to M1T should be fairly high, plus in its unchanged diol configuration I would expect some receptor affinity. Methyl 1-Test is highly hepatotoxic (more so than most methylated orals), and I don't see why this would be markedly less so, since they are both 17a-methylated (which prevents deactivation through metabolism of the 17b-OH), and the covalent bond structure is the same. This concerns me, as people typically run M1A at several times the dosage of M1T. I guess blood work will tell.
I would not recommend this compound to beginners. Strength and size gains should be rapid and profound, with some of that being due to increased water retention. Side effects may include (but are not limited to) high blood pressure, lethargy, back and shin pumps, loss of sex-drive, and adverse shifts in lipoprotein subfractions. While on paper neither this compound nor its metabolites aromatise, plenty of M1T users have reported on-cycle gyno so it would be prudent to assume a degree of risk with this compound as well.
Cycle lengths should be short and relatively low dosed IMO, two to four weeks at 20 - 40mg (some users will choose to go up to 60mg), followed by an appropriate SERM PCT protocol.
