Primobolan is an almost pure anabolic with an extremely low an-drogenic component. The ratio of the anabolic
to the androgenic effect is indeed very favorable but, since the overall anabolic effect is only moderately
strong, Primobolan tablets have only a limited effect in building up muscle mass and strength. With
Primobolan nei-ther fast weight gains nor explosive strength gains occur. Primobolan is therefore mostly taken
over a prolonged period since it gives only a slow but also a high-quality muscle gain which mostly remains
after use of the compound is discontinued. An effective daily dose observed in athletes is in the range of 50-
150 mg so that the 25 mg tablets are preferred to the 5 mg tablets. As for the recommended dose, the athlete
obtains interesting information from the German package insert by Schering AG for their compound
Primobolan S: "Unless otherwise prescribed the following guidelines apply: The dosage should be I - 1,5 mg
per pound of body weight/day, that is 4-6 tablets for 100 pound of bodyweight." A bodybuilder weighing 100 kg
should therefore take 200-300 mg daily which would corre-spond to a dosage of eight to twelve 25 mg tablets
per day. We believe that this dosage is too high; however, this example shows that a fairly large dosage of the
oral acetate form is necessary. The reason is that the Primobolan acetate tablets are not I 7-alpha alky-lated
and, during the first pass in the liver, a large part of the substance is destroyed and thus deactivated leaving
only a much smaller quantity of the substance to get into the blood.
If Primobolan is the only steroid that is taken, then with respect to strength and muscle buildup, it will usually
lead to success in women and steroid novices. This, however, changes greatly when Primobolan is combined
with steroids that are moderately too highly androgenic but which themselves do not aromatize or retain water.
In such an environment the anabolic effect of Primobolan can develop to its optimum. Masteron, Parabolan,
Equipoise, and Winstrol, are par-ticularly suitable. The effect can be optimized by the additional in-take of
Oxandrolone. Steroid novices and the less advanced achieve a good strength and muscle gain by taking 50-
100 mg Primobolan S/day and 150 mg Winstrol Depot/week, without retaining water. Even competing athletes
report good quality gains with continu-ously "harder" muscles when taking 150 mg Primobolan S/day and 50
mg Winstrol Depot every two days, as well as 76 mg of Parabolan every two days.
The main uses of the Primobolan tablets, however, are in the preparation for a competition and in use by
women. Since the acetate form does not aromatize into estrogens and does not cause water retention, the use
of Primobolan during competitions is widespread. Acetate tablets are special in that they actively help burn fat.
The Primobolan acetate tablets, however, must never be taken as the only steroid during a diet since, due to
its extremely low androgenic effect, significant losses in muscle and strength can occur and there is a risk of
overtraining. The above mentioned common steroid combinations are extremely effective when combined with
a suitable diet during the preparation for a competition. Due to the fact that the acetate tablets burn fat but, at the same time, that in large part they are already deactivated in the liver, it would be most efficient to apply the
compound locally, bringing the substance directly into the blood through the skin in the areas with undesired
fat deposits. At first this seems a little adventurous, but it is possible with the DMSO compound. Dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO) is one of few substances which are fully absorbed through the skin and distributed through
the body It is included in many ointments and gels which are used to treat sport injuries, contusions, swellings,
and effusions in order to transport the casing substance through the skin. ln addi-tion, DMSO makes the skin
permeable to other substances.
Finely grind up one 25 mg Primobolan tablet with the grip of a knife on your kitchen board, mix it with half a
teaspoon of DMSO gel and then apply a thin layer to your skin. It is important that you only apply it; do not rub
it in. One or two applications is usu-ally enough. Another way to avoid the liver and consequent destruction of
the substance is to grind up the Primobolan tablets in a mortar and consume them together with heated
vitamin E oil. The Primobolan/vitamin E mixture reaches the blood similar to Andriol that is the absorption
occurs through the lymph system and the solution does not reach the liver through the portal vessel.
Since the Primobolan tablets are not I 7-alpha alkylated but have a I 7-beta hydroxy group they are almost
non-toxic to the liver. in a high dosage, however, they can influence the liver values resulting in higher
biliburin, GPT, GOT, and alkaline phosphatase. Primobolan generally does not cause any significant side
effects since it does not aromatize, does not cause water retention, is not I 7-alpha alkylated, and is only
slightly androgenic. Blood pressure, liver values, cholesterol level, HDL and LDL values usually remain
unaffected, making Primobolan well-liked by health-conscious older athletes. Primo is often an "entry drug" for
novice users and, due to its rare side effects, encourages many steroid users to switch to "harder" stuff such
as Dianabol, Anadrol 50, and testosterone. Since Primobolan is a precursor of dihydrotestosterone it can
accelerate hair loss if such a predisposition exists.
The availability of Primobolan Acetate tablets on the black market is quite poor both in Europe and the U.S.
The price for one 25 mg tablet on the black market is about $1.00.
