Arnold Schwarzenegger, widely considered as the greatest bodybuilder of all time, admitted to taking steroids (1). However, just like any other anabolic steroid, it is illegal without a prescription. Almost every JACKED bodybuilder who’s ever lived (and has taken steroids), would’ve been on Dianabol at some point in time. Dianabol promotes muscle hypertrophy, enhances strength, and improves recovery by boosting protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and glycogenolysis. Monitor testosterone, LH, and FSH levels via blood work. A "positive nitrogen balance" refers to the rate of protein synthesis in the body......this means YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIMILATE PROTEIN AT A MORE RAPID RATE. The mechanism of protodioscin's action causes increases the production of serum testosterone. Protodioscin acts by stimulating the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which plays a role in the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (Viktorof et al. 1994).
