ProvironŽ
is a synthetic, orally effective androgen which does not have any anabolic
characteristics. Proviron is used in school medicine to ease or cure
disturbances eased by a deficiency of male sex hormones. Many athletes,
for this reason, often use Proviron at the end of a steroid treatment
in order to increase the reduced testosterone production. This however
is not a good idea since Proviron has no effect on the body's own testosterone
production but-as mentioned in the beginning-only reduces or completely
eliminates the dysfunctions caused by the testosterone deficiency. These are in particular
impotence which is mostly caused by an androgen deficiency that can
occur after the discontinuance of steroids, and infertility which manifests
itself in a reduced sperm count and a reduced sperm quality. ProvironŽ
is therefore taken during a steroid administration or after discontinuing
the use of the steroids, to eliminate a possible impotency or a reduced
sexual interest. This, however does not contribute to the maintainance
of strength and muscle mass after the treatment. There are other better
suited compounds for this (see HCG and Clomid). For this reason Proviron
is unfortunately cunsidered by many to be a useless and unnecessary
compound.
You should be aware that
ProvironŽ is also an estrogen antagonist which
prevents the aromatization of steroids. Unlike the antiestrogen Tamoxifen
which only blocks the estrogen receptors (see Tamoxifen) Proviron already
prevents the aromatizing of steroids. Therefore gynecomastia and increased
water retention are successfully blocked. Since Proviron strongly suppresses
the forming of estrogens no rebound effect occurs after discontinuation
of use of the compound as is the case with, for example,Tamoxifen where
an aromatization of the steroids is not prevented. One can say that
Tamoxifen cures the problem of aromatization at its root while Tamoxifen
simply cures the symptoms. For this reason male athletes should prefer
ProvironŽ to TamoxifenŽ.
With ProvironŽ the
athlete obtains more muscle hardness since the androgen level is increased
and the estrogen concentration remains low. This, in particular, is
noted positively during the preparation for a competition when used
in combination with a diet. Female athletes who naturally have a higher
estrogen level often supplement their steroid intake with ProvironŽ
resulting in an increased muscle hardness. In the past it was common
for bodybuilders to take a daily dose of one 25 mg tablet over several
weeks, sometimes even months, in order to appear hard all year round.
This was especially important
for athletes appearances at guest performances, seminars and photo sessions.
Today Clenbuterol is usually taken over the entire year since possible
virilization symptoms cannot occur which is not yet the case with Proviron.
Since Proviron is very effective male athletes usually need only 50
mg/day which means that the athlete usually takes one 25 mg tablet in
the morning and another 25 mg tablet in the evening. In some cases one
25 mg tablet per day is sufficient. When combining Proviron with Tamoxifen
(50 mg Proviron/day and 20 mg Tamoxifen/day) this will lead to an almost
complete suppression of estrogen.
The side effects of ProvironŽ
in men are low at a dosage of 2-3 tablets/day so that Proviron, taken
for example in combination with a steroid cycle, can be used comparatively
without risk over several weeks. Since ProvironŽ
is well-tolerated by the liver liver dysfunctions do not occur in the
given dosages. For athletes who are used to acting under the motto "more
is better" the intake of ProvironŽ could have a
paradoxical effect.
The most common side effect
of Proviron-or in this case, secondary symptom- is in part a distinct
sexual overstimulation and in some cases continuous penis erection.
Since this condition can be painful and lead to possible damages, a
lower dosage or discontinuing the compound are the only sensible solutions.
Female athletes should use ProvironŽ with caution since possible
androgenic side effects cannot be excluded. Women who want to give
ProvironŽ a try should not take more than one 25 mg tablet
per day. Higher dosages and periods of intake of more than four weeks
considerably increase the risk of virilization symptoms. Female athletes
who have no difficulties with ProvironŽ obtain good results with
25 mg Proviron/day and 20 mg Tamoxifen/day and, in combination with
a diet, report an accelerated fat breakdown and continuously harder
muscles. |
