Chlormethylandrostenediol
Also known as: CDMA, 4-chloro-17a-methyl-androst-4-ene-3b,17b-diol
Chlormethylandrostenediol (CDMA) is a designer prohormone closely related to Halodrol. It is a chlorinated, methylated androstenediol that converts to an active steroid in the body. It was marketed as a dietary supplement before being classified as an anabolic steroid. Very little is known about this compound.

Advanced| Molecular Formula | C20H33ClO2 |
| Class | Steroid |
| Category | Underground Steroids |
Mechanism of Action
Functions as a prohormone that converts to an active chlorinated methyltestosterone derivative via hepatic oxidation of the 3-beta-hydroxyl group. The chloro substitution at C-4 reduces aromatization. Once converted, it provides moderate androgenic and anabolic activity through androgen receptor binding.
Dosing Research
No clinically established dosing. Underground use typically 25-75 mg per day in oral form. Cycles limited to 4-6 weeks due to methylation and associated hepatotoxicity. PCT required. Liver support recommended.
Side Effects & Risks
Hepatotoxicity from 17-alpha-methylation. Negative lipid profile changes. HPTA suppression. Unknown long-term effects of chlorinated steroid metabolites. Androgenic side effects possible. No formal safety evaluation has been conducted. Risk profile is largely speculative based on structural similarity to known compounds.

Testosterone Enanthate
SteroidTestosterone Enanthate is one of the most widely used testosterone esters for hormone replacement therapy and performance enhancement. It features a long-acting enanthate ester that provides sustained release over approximately 1-2 weeks, making it one of the most convenient injectable testosterone formulations.
Testosterone Cypionate
SteroidTestosterone Cypionate is a long-acting testosterone ester very similar in pharmacokinetics to Testosterone Enanthate. It is the most commonly prescribed form of testosterone in the United States for hormone replacement therapy and is widely used in performance enhancement contexts.
Testosterone Propionate
SteroidTestosterone Propionate is a short-acting testosterone ester that requires more frequent injections than longer-estered variants. It provides faster onset and clearance, making it preferred for shorter cycles, contest preparation, or situations where rapid clearance is desired.
Oxandrolone
SteroidOxandrolone (Anavar) is one of the mildest and most well-studied oral anabolic steroids. Originally developed for medical use in burn patients, muscle wasting, and osteoporosis, it is valued in performance enhancement for producing lean, dry gains with minimal side effects. It is one of the few steroids prescribed to women and children in clinical settings.
