Drostanolone

Drostanolone, commonly known as Masteron, is an anabolic androgenic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is widely used by bodybuilders and athletes for muscle hardening, fat loss, and improving physical appearance, especially during cutting cycles. Drostanolone has strong anti-estrogenic properties, making it effective in reducing water retention and creating a lean, dry look. It is typically injected and works by enhancing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, promoting muscle preservation while reducing fat. Originally developed to treat breast cancer, it is now more popular for performance enhancement. Side effects may include hair loss, acne, mood changes, and hormonal imbalances, especially with misuse. Proper dosage, cycle planning, and post-cycle therapy are important for safety and effectiveness.
