Characteristics
Promestanolone is a 17aa pro-steroid which converts to the illegal anabolic steroid methyl-DHT (mestanolone).
There is no human clinical data on promestanolone, but it is most likely exerting its effects by converting to methyl-DHT. The acidic environment in the stomach would be responsible for converting the 3-hydroxyimine group to a 3-one — thus rapidly changing it to methyl DHT. Therefore results and side-effects would be considered to be very similar to methyl-DHT.
Although DHT can be deactivated in skeletal muscle tissue by 3b-HSD it is likely that this enzyme pathway can be overwhelmed if this compound is taken at a high enough dose. Methyl-DHT has some activity on the progestin receptor, but not to a high degree. It has moderate anabolic but high androgenic effects. It binds strongly to SHBG, therefore free testosterone and estrogen can be expected to rise by displacement from SHBG.
Since this is a 17aa compound, liver toxicity will be an issue with high doses or long term use. For this reason users should consider priming the liver with a liver supporting supplement before and during a Promestanolone cycle. Users will also experience minimal subcutaneous water retention since there is no conversion to estrogen. However, intracellular water and sodium retention will increase by inhibition of 11-beta hydroxylase and mineralocorticoid build up.
Users may also experience an increase in aggression and mood swings which is a common side effect of many steroids with high androgenic value. This makes this compound an excellent pre-lifting or pre-competition steroid.
Promestanolone should produce solid lean gains in muscle as a standalone. However for those looking to add additional bulk to their cycle, promestanolone would stack with with virtually any other non-17aa oral.
