(Redirected from 19-N-Andro)

Bolandione, also known as 19-norandrostenedione, is a steroid that is used as a performance-enhancing drug. It is classified as an anabolic steroid due to its ability to promote muscle growth. However, its use is controversial and it is banned by many sports organizations due to its potential health risks.

History[edit | edit source]

Bolandione was first synthesized in the 1960s. It was initially used in the medical field for the treatment of certain health conditions, but it soon gained popularity among athletes and bodybuilders for its muscle-building properties.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Bolandione works by increasing the levels of testosterone in the body. This hormone is responsible for promoting muscle growth and strength. Bolandione is a precursor to testosterone, meaning it is converted into this hormone in the body.

Health Risks[edit | edit source]

The use of Bolandione carries several health risks. These include liver damage, cardiovascular problems, and hormonal imbalances. In addition, it can lead to psychological effects such as aggression and mood swings.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

Bolandione is banned by many sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency. In many countries, it is also illegal to possess or distribute Bolandione without a prescription.
