Turanabol (Oral Turinabol) is the trade name for the active substance **Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone** (CDMT). It is an anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) that originated in the 1960s by combining Dianabol (Methandienone) and Clostebol, with the goal of creating a highly anabolic compound with low risk of side effects.

Turanabol in Sports History:

This substance gained notoriety through the **GDR** (East Germany), which used it in its state doping program in the 1960s, administering it to athletes (including women and children) without their knowledge, primarily to achieve better results at the Olympic Games. During that period, CDMT was undetectable.

Turanabol is a testosterone derivative, but it has a unique profile that makes it one of the most valued AAS for athletes:

• Low Androgenic Level: Achieved through a change in the chemical structure of testosterone, which minimizes typical side effects.
• No Water Retention: Turanabol does not aromatize, meaning muscle mass gain is **high-quality** (dry mass) and is not accompanied by excessive water retention.
• Strength Increase: Rapid, even sudden, increase in maximum strength and endurance, which is crucial in sports where maximizing strength relative to body weight is important.
• Fat Burning: Accelerates the burning of body fat.

Due to the lack of water retention, Turanabol is particularly valued during **cutting and definition phases**.

Turanabol is considered one of the **weaker steroids** (less potent than Methandienone), but its effect is balanced by the ability to take higher doses, which are well tolerated.

Recommended Oral Dosing:

• Beginners: 10–20 mg daily.
• Intermediate Users: 30–40 mg daily.
• Advanced Users: up to 50 mg daily.
• Women: Doses should strictly **not exceed 5–10 mg** daily to avoid masculinization.

Half-Life: Turanabol's half-life reaches **up to 16 hours**. Therefore, to maintain stable substance levels, it is recommended to divide the daily dose into two portions (morning and evening). Turanabol should be taken **with a meal** to minimize the burden on the liver (it is a 17-alpha alkylated steroid).

In addition to positive effects, Turanabol carries risks. Although it has a low androgenic level, it leads to **decreased natural testosterone production** in the testicles. Therefore, the decision to use Turanabol requires consideration of a mandatory **Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)** program.

Important Note: Turanabol is a banned substance in sports and is not legally available in many countries. The decision regarding its eventual use is made by the individual at their own risk.
