Turinabol (oral-turinabol, official name 4-chlorodehydromethyltestosterone) is a tablet anabolic steroid, invented as an alternative to methandrostenolone, differing from it in that it has no aromatization. It is a 17-alpha-alkylated steroid, which leads to its high liver toxicity. In contrast to methane, it has a longer elimination half-life of 16 hours, for this reason, it can be taken once a day, and the steroid background in the blood will be relatively even, if compared to methane.
The drug was developed in the GDR. It was the most popular oral steroid tablet, used as an alternative to methandrostenalone, which was used in the USSR. In fact, turinabol is an improved form of methandrostenalone, in which the chlorine atom was introduced, removing the aromatization. By doing so, turinabol retained almost all of the positive effects of methandrostenalone, while getting rid of a serious side effect in the form of aromatization to estradiol.

Recommended working doses
For amateurs, 20-30 mg per day. Turinabol is the drug of choice for amateurs, relative to methandrostenalone, even though it has similar liver toxicity, but has fewer side effects.
For professionals, 40-50 mg per day. A dosage of more than 50 mg per week negatively affects the liver, thereby negating the effectiveness of the higher dosage, so it is necessary to limit the dosage of turinabolol 50 mg per day.
