This is Jeff with Supplement Warehouse and we sell a lot of prohormones. One question we get quite a bit is "What is 1,4 Androstenalone?"
This is a popular compound in many of our prohormones including Dianabol, Equipoise and Helladrol. These prohormones are all blends, but they all have something in common, the ingredient, 1,4 Androstenalone.
What is 1,4 Androstenalone?
This is sometimes labeled as 1,4 Androstene-3b-ol,17-one, but it's the same exact thing, just a different name. 1,4 Androstenalone is a very popular mass and size ingredient because it converts into Boldonone.
1,4-Androstenalone relies on your body's enzymes to convert a portion of the dose into boldenone. The conversion is not 100%, so the effects are generally milder than administering boldenone directly. But still, it's extremely anabolic, so very popular for those athletes looking to run a bulking cycle.
One positive or negative (depending on the individual) thing about 1,4 Androstenalone is the appetite aggression it causes. You are going to get hungrier. I've personally tried prohormones with this compound and I felt I ate constantly throughout the day. Which is of course perfect for those looking to put on more weight.
What are the Benefits of Using Prohormones with 1,4-Androstenalone?
- Lean muscle gains: Typically produces slower, steadier muscle growth compared to more androgenic prohormones.
- Increased appetite: Many users report a noticeable increase in hunger, which can be helpful during a bulking phase.
- Improved endurance: Some users experience better work capacity and muscular endurance, similar to what boldenone is known for.
- Lower water retention: Compared to compounds that convert to testosterone, 1,4-Androstenalone is generally marketed as providing leaner gains with less bloating.
- Longer cycles: Because gains tend to come more gradually, users often run it for 8 weeks (or longer if the product labeling and regulations permit).
What Prohormones have This Compound?
Who Should Take 1,4-Androstenalone?
The athletes that are looking to take a prohormone with this compound should be in search of:
- Lean, quality muscle instead of rapid weight gain.
- A gradual bulk with less water retention.
- Increased appetite to support higher calorie intake.
- Better training endurance.
Final Thoughts
If you made it this far, you are probably really interested in taking this compound. I have personally only taken it a few times. I would only recommend 1,4-Androstenalone to those looking for bulk up, not lean down. Otherwise, look at other ingredients like 1-Andro, Epi-Andro or 19Nor. But if you are wanting more size and strength and add some serious mass to your frame, this compound is for you!
