Boldenone Undecylenate

Boldenone Undecylenate, also known as Equipoise, is an anabolic androgenic steroid. It is commonly used for enhancing physical performance in athletes and racehorses. Analytical reference standards for forensic drug analysis often include anabolic androgenic steroids like Boldenone Undecylenate to ensure accurate detection and identification.

History of Boldenone Undecylenate

Ciba reportedly patented Boldenone in 1949. It subsequently developed several experimental esters of the anabolic androgenic drug in the 1950s and 1960s.

One drug was boldenone undecylenate, sold as Parenabol. It was used in the late 1960s and early 1970s for medical purposes. However, it was discontinued before the end of the 1970s.

Subsequently, boldenone undecylenate was introduced by Squibb under the brand name Equipose for veterinary use, most commonly in horses. (Wikipedia)

The steroid industry began its development initially in the military direction for the tasks of increasing the aggressiveness of soldiers. Then she migrated to veterinary medicine and sports, firmly entrenched in it. Initially, there were no prerequisites for using it for a “download”. This is only later, the athletes borrowed these drugs for themselves, for their quality.

Brand Names

Boldenone Undecylenate is sold or manufactured under several trademarks, including Boldan, Equipoise, Parenabol and Webonol and others. (Wikipedia)

Boldenone is a very interesting steroid.

In its structure, it is very similar to Methandienone.

The differences between Methandienone and Boldenone are in the absence of a methyl group in the 17th position and the presence of only one double bond. This unique structure contributes to its anabolic properties and role in bodybuilding.

In terms of effectiveness, it is similar to Nandrolone Decanoate.

Similarly, Nandrolone Decanoate has a somewhat delayed period of inclusion in the hormonal system.

This is something between all this and Testosterone. It is slightly weaker in terms of its effect on hormones because it has a lower androgenic index.

Therefore, it can be argued that the drug is the safest of those that can be found on the market. Its cost is slightly higher than Testosterone and it is applied a little differently. As mentioned above, Boldenon is similar in its effect to Deca, which means that it is included in the work much later. But, and the “effect” from it is much larger, which makes it a drug of prolonged action.

Effects that Boldenone as an Anabolic Androgenic Steroid has

Muscle growth. The effect, however, will be somewhat delayed (see above).

It can be felt at 3-4 weeks, in the form of changes in measurement indicators. It grows gradually and gives a long “effect” after the cancelation of Boldenone. Boldenone significantly stimulates protein synthesis, contributing to muscle growth.

Anticatabolic effect. The effect of Boldenone is pronounced to a fairly high degree. If the dosage of the steroid is less than 400 mg per week, then the result of such a “course” will only be an anti-catabolic effect.

Fat reduction. The cycle of Boldenone is due to its properties to enhance the absorption of all nutrients. At the same time, the rate of this assimilation increases, which in turn raises the basal metabolic rate. As a result, you more easily create a state of calorie deficiency.

Thus, you also get a drying effect. Of course, subject to all the conditions that the diet suggests.

That is, regardless of which of these three effects you choose, it will work. Boldenone is a very versatile drug.

In drying tasks, it will, of course, be secondary, like any anabolic steroid. This means that when it is taken, the fat will not “burn” by itself.

Increase in Red Blood Cells

An increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood. – This is his next property.

Red blood cells are a component of the blood that is responsible for transporting oxygen to all body tissues.

Boldenone interacts with the androgen receptor, which plays a crucial role in erythropoiesis, the process of increasing red blood cells. The binding of Boldenone to the androgen receptor also regulates gene transcription, which is essential for its anabolic effects.

This property is most pronounced in Nandrolones, long esters of Testosterone and Boldenone.

This process is called erythropoiesis. Boldenone is the only steroid that can significantly increase it, as shown by all tests.

This process is called erythropoiesis. Boldenone is the only steroid that can significantly increase it.

All tests have shown this. A doctor who sees your test results may mistakenly think you have a serious illness, such as cancer or a bone marrow issue. This may lead them to believe you need a transplant.

Hemoglobin Levels

The norm of hemoglobin in a man: from 120 to 170 grams per liter.

Anabolic steroids can increase red blood cell counts. Anabolic steroids can raise red blood cell counts.

Nandrolone Decanoate increases it from 180 to 210 grams per liter. Testosterone Enanthate raises it from 160 to 190 grams per liter. Boldenone increases it from 190 to 240 grams per liter.

Endurance and Muscle Strength

In terms of endurance, the drug did not strongly recommend itself. In any case, in those experiments that we conducted on CrossFit, this was not shown. But in terms of muscle strength and muscle hypertrophy, at CrossFit, after 2 – 3 months of admission, there were certain results.

Boldenone with Other Steroids

It depends on what you mix it with. What course you will conduct – Boldenone Solo, or with Testosterone Enanthate + Oxymethalone, or with Winstrol – this will depend on what tasks you set for yourself.

In the above case, it was Winstrol and people felt on it the muscle growth and endurance that Winstrol actually gave.

From Boldenone “Solo” there was no such effect.

Bodybuilders often combine boldenone with a potent androgen like testosterone to enhance its effects.

Side Effects of Boldenone

Boldenone has low androgenic potency. This means that using it correctly can help avoid side effects like gynecomastia, enlarged prostate, and acne.

Dosage Effects

200 mg per week:

  • unproductive dosage;
  • causes increased libido at the 3rd week.

400 mg per week:

  • minimum dosage;
  • may cause irritability, redness of the face, possibly more frequent urination.

600 – 800 mg per week:

  • standard dose;
  • arrhythmias may occur, possibly a drop in blood pressure in the evening;
  • from 4 to 5 weeks, mood jumps and unexpressed fluid retention can be observed.

Oral Bioavailability

Although Boldenone is not typically orally active, certain structural modifications can enhance its bioavailability when taken orally.

Common Side Effects

Taking 400 to 800 mg per week of this steroid may cause metabolic disorders. Some possible side effects include flushing, red face, stuffy nose, high blood pressure, migraines, and other conditions. This is simply a violation of the tone of the vessels, as a result of the fact that the hormonal background changes. This is comparable to menopause in women.

Side Effects at Higher Dosages

1000 – 1200 mg per week:

  • high dosage;
  • from the 2nd week fluid retention;
  • from 4 – 5 weeks, itching was observed in the nipples;
  • facial swelling;
  • high blood pressure in training;
  • increase / decrease in appetite;
  • manifestation of depression;
  • from 4 to 5 weeks, a manifestation of acne is possible.

No serious side effects were observed when following recommended dosages of 400-800 mg/week for a “solo” cycle. And with combined courses, it already depends on which option to stay, then we can discuss several side effects. But we will talk about this in cycles about combined courses of anabolic steroids.

Summary

In general, the drug is very good. Although many do not feel it. Especially those who already had experience taking anabolic steroids. For example, after Testosterone Enanthate, in dosages of 1 gr per week, you are 400 to 600 mg Boldenone “Solo”, do not fully feel in any way, especially if you are going to do a mixed cycle.

That is, switch from one drug to another. Athletes often combine boldenone with other anabolic steroids to enhance its effectiveness in performance-enhancing regimens.

You can see the effects of Boldenone best after finishing a Deca course, especially when used with other steroids. If you finished taking Deca-Durabolin, you can switch to Boldenone after a month. The results should be similar in terms of how you feel.
