Desoxymethyltestosterone
Also known as: Madol, DMT, Pheraplex
Desoxymethyltestosterone (Madol/DMT) is a designer steroid that first gained attention when it was discovered in the BALCO scandal. It was never approved for medical use and was specifically designed to evade detection in anti-doping tests. It is a potent androgen with significant health risks.
Risk Level
Very High RiskDifficulty
Advanced| CAS Number | 5173-46-6 |
| Molecular Formula | C20H32O |
| Class | Steroid |
| Category | Underground Steroids |
Mechanism of Action
A methylated anabolic steroid that binds directly to androgen receptors without requiring metabolic activation. Does not aromatize to estrogen. Has strong androgenic and anabolic properties. Its unique structure was designed to avoid detection by standard anti-doping assays at the time of its creation.
Dosing Research
No clinically established dosing. Underground use typically ranged from 2-10 mg per day in oral form. Cycle lengths were usually 3-4 weeks due to hepatotoxicity concerns. Requires thorough PCT. Extremely limited dosing information available due to its illicit nature.
Side Effects & Risks
Severe hepatotoxicity as a methylated oral steroid. Complete HPTA suppression. Cardiovascular strain including negative lipid profile changes. Androgenic side effects including hair loss and acne. No long-term safety data exists. Cases of serious liver injury have been reported in association with its use.

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.
