Furazabol
Also known as: Miotolan, Furazabol THP
Furazabol is an anabolic steroid structurally related to stanozolol, with a furazan ring replacing the pyrazole ring. It was briefly marketed in Japan under the brand name Miotolan for treating hyperlipidemia. It is notable for reportedly having a favorable effect on lipid profiles, which is unusual among oral steroids, though this claim is disputed.

Advanced| CAS Number | 1239-29-8 |
| Molecular Formula | C20H30N2O2 |
| Class | Steroid |
| Category | Underground Steroids |
Mechanism of Action
A DHT-derived steroid with a furazan (1,2,5-oxadiazole) ring fused to the A-ring. Binds androgen receptors similarly to stanozolol. Reportedly has lipid-lowering properties, possibly through effects on hepatic lipase or cholesterol metabolism, though evidence is limited. Does not aromatize. Has moderate anabolic and low androgenic activity.
Dosing Research
Japanese medical dosing was 1-2 mg per day for lipid management. Performance enhancement doses in underground use ranged from 5-20 mg per day. Cycles of 4-8 weeks. Available in THP ether prodrug form in the supplement market. Limited dosing guidance available.
Side Effects & Risks
Hepatotoxicity expected for the methylated version, though potentially less than stanozolol. Reports of favorable lipid effects are unconfirmed and should not be assumed. HPTA suppression. Androgenic side effects possible. Joint dryness similar to stanozolol. Very limited modern safety data.

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.
