Proviron Basics

[h=2][/h]
Generic Name: Mesterolone
Also Known as: Proviron, Mestilon, Provironum, Restore
Manufacturer: Schering
Androgenic / Anabolic Ratio: 30-40/100-150
Mesterolone’s chemical formula is C20H32O2
It’s chemical name is:
1 alpha-methyl-17 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-androstan-3-one
Proviron is an orally active 1-alpha-methylated Dihydrotestosterone derivative and as such is much less liver toxic than most oral steroids.
Proviron Dosage and Indications
Indications (reasons it is normally prescribed):
Typically prescribed to supplement testosterone, usually in cases of infertility or as an anti-aging treatment or as part of a treatment plan for gynecomastasia (male breast growth).
Contraindications (Conditions which cause it to be high risk to take proviron): Proviron Contraindicated in patients with prostate cancer, breast cancer, tumor in liver, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The typical dose for Proviron is 100mg/day, at that dose it does a great job at fending off gyno side effects caused by the aromatization of other more potent anabolics that are stacked alongside it.
DHT Based Proviron
Due to Proviron being based on DHT it is readily reduced to inactive metabolites in muscle tissue, this is why Proviron has such low androgenic function, but also a part of how proviron enhances the effects of other anabolic steroids it is stacked with. Because the enzymes responsible for breaking down excess testosterone are otherwise occupied the other anabolics an athlete is taking are free to act on the muscle.
Proviron Lab Studies
It has been noticed in lab tests that at a dose of 100mgs/day Proviron by itself has no effect on FSH and LH levels in the blood. FSH and LH are the two hormones that instruct your body to produce testosterone. With that property, Proviron is a popular choice for bridging. Bridging is the practice of slowly stepping down dosage of external testosterone while supplementing with something that does not suppress natural testosterone production, it has also been noticed that Proviron actually raises the user’s LH levels. As such Proviron is one of the best bridging supplements that there is.
Prescribed Proviron
When prescribed, Proviron is usually prescribed to treat sexual dysfunction (including low sperm count, impotency, and sexual disintrest) caused by low endogenous (natural) testosterone, in that role Proviron excels and does so with relative safety. Occasionally Proviron will be used as a treatment for gynecomastasia as well.
Androgenic / Anabolic Ratio
With it’s Androgenic / Anabolic Ratio of 30-40/100-150 Proviron is highly androgenic, meaning it has a much more profund effect on sexual traits than it does on muscle building.
Due to it’s highly androgenic (sexual characteristic altering) abilities as well as it’s estrogen blocking capabilities, Proviron is not recommended for women that are not looking for Masculine traits, however, for women attempting to be more masculine, it’s probably a great idea.

Prescribed occasionally to combat gyno, hmmm
 
Great info, rays21, looks like Proviron could be useful for me.

Question: My understanding of DHT is that this is the stuff that causes acne and hair loss and that test converts to it, similar to it converting to estrogen. DHT also "collects" (for lack of a better term) in the prostate, which is what causes the prostate to enlarge. Is my understanding correct? If so, what measures can be taken to mitigate any side effects?

ive used in pct and in cycle with good results both times..25mg during pct and 50mg during cycle
i do think 100mg is a little high and half that dose is enough..but maybe if u use high test u need high proviron as well..
 
I've never gone over 50mg but I've only used it for on cycle and I"m pretty sure I cruised with it before I started HRT
 
I've used 100mg per day starting 4 weeks out pre contest. The stuff doesn't get 1/10 the attention it should.
You'll still hear every gym rat talk about using Winstrol or Anavar to "get ripped" LOL!
You can't fix stupid
