Boldenone Undeclynate more known as trade name Equipoise. It
is a favorite veterinary steroid of many athletes. The activity of boldenone is mainly anabolic, with a low androgenic
potency. It has a very long half-life, and can show up on a steroid test
for up to 1.5 years, due to the long undecylenate ester attached to the
parent steroid. Boldenone will increase nitrogen retention, protein
synthesis, increases appetite and stimulates the release of
erythropoietin in the kidneys. The drug is commonly used in doping
within bodybuilding, even though this use is illegal. If intended to
assist in bodybuilding, the drug is taken as part of a steroid stack of
other anabolic steroids, usually with a potent androgen like
testosterone as the base of the stack. Possible Side Effects: Although
commonly compared to nandrolone, boldenone lacks progesterone receptor
interaction and all the associated progestinic side effects. Boldenone
can, however, produce mild androgenic side effects. Oily skin, acne,
increased aggression and hair loss are all possible with this compound
but rare. Boldenone does reduce to a more potent androgen
dihydroboldenone via the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme (analogous to the
conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), however its
affinity for this interaction in the human body is low to nonexistent.
Suppression of the HPTA, water retention, possible increase in acne and
possible conversion to estrogen, high blood pressure are all side
effects associated with Boldenone.Boldenone is also known to cause
anxiety and flu like symptoms which manifest themselves most acutely in
short ester versions like: acetate, and propionate (almost unusable),
but which are also present in the enanthate, cypionate, and
undecyclenate forms.
Boldenone Undeclynate is often used by
bodybuilders in both off-season and pre-contest. Because it has similar
properties to methandienone (methylated boldenone), it is a favorite
for adding strength and size. Another reason Boldenone is so popular
for bulking is because it increases the appetite; this is also a reason
many athletes will stay away from it pre-contest. Boldenone Undeclynate is well known for increasing vascularity while
preparing for a bodybuilding contest.
Common bodybuilding doses range between 200 mg to 400 mg/week but could be as high as 800 mg/week.
