Halodrol
Halodrol, also known as 4-chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1,4-diene-3b,17b-diol, is a steroid that was previously included in supplements used by bodybuilders. Halodrol is a derivative of the anabolic steroid testosterone.
History[edit | edit source]
Halodrol was first marketed by Gaspari Nutrition. It was a prohormone that was used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and strength. However, due to the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004, Halodrol was classified as an anabolic steroid and was thus removed from the market.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Halodrol is a prohormone, which means it is a precursor to a hormone. In the body, Halodrol is converted into the active hormone turinabol. Turinabol is an anabolic steroid that was originally developed in the 1960s by East German scientists for their national athletes to use in the Olympics.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like other anabolic steroids, Halodrol can have several side effects. These can include liver damage, increased blood pressure, changes in lipid profiles, and changes in mood and behavior. It is also known to cause a significant reduction in the body's natural testosterone production, which can lead to a condition known as hypogonadism.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
In the United States, Halodrol is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This means it is illegal to possess without a prescription. In addition, it is banned by most sports organizations, including the World Anti-Doping Agency.
