Turinabol: The Top Oral Steroid for Beginners in Sports Pharmacology

Turinabol: The Top Oral Steroid for Beginners in Sports Pharmacology

Turinabol occupies the top spot in popularity among oral steroids for athletes who are venturing into sports pharmacology for the first time. And it’s no coincidence.

According to most reputable forums, including SportWiki, oral Turinabol is considered the best steroid for a solo cycle. It is recommended for beginners under the age of 30.

What is Turinabol?

In terms of its ability to increase muscle mass and strength, "Turik" ranks second after Methandienone, which is considered the most potent oral AAS in terms of impact on the athlete’s body.

Essentially, this steroid is a refined version of "Methane" without the latter's side effects.

Since its release in 1960 for the needs of East Germany's sports medicine, athletes have characterized Turinabol as a "mix" of Methane and Oxandrolone, with moderate anabolic effects and low incidence of "side effects."

Due to the special popularity of the drug, there is plenty of information on how to take Turinabol. However, studying the questions posed by beginner athletes on forums and other internet resources, it becomes clear that no single guide fully covers this topic.

Therefore, in this article, the online store Pharma UA has gathered all the information on how to properly take Turinabol, not only for male bodybuilders but also for women, as well as athletes in disciplines such as track and field, boxing, MMA, and others where increased endurance and strength are required without significant weight gain.

Contraindications to Taking Turinabol

Turinabol is contraindicated for individuals with the following conditions:

• Cardiovascular diseases

• Metabolic disorders, particularly diabetes

• Liver and gallbladder diseases

• Presence of tumors

• Prostate hypertrophy

We recommend, if possible, to undergo medical tests before and after a Turinabol cycle to identify potential health issues and determine if this AAS is suitable for your specific case.

When to Take Turinabol

Various Turinabol intake schemes exist on the internet.

Some advise taking the entire daily dose at once, others recommend taking "Turik" using the "pyramid" method, where the intake starts with one tablet and gradually increases until reaching the "working" dose.

Some suggest taking Turinabol before meals, others after, either swallowing or dissolving it under the tongue.

But which scheme is correct? Let’s find out:

How to Take Turinabol?

The optimal scheme for taking and dosing Turinabol was determined empirically back in the 1960s while preparing the GDR team for the Olympic Games.

It was found that 40-50 mg of the drug is sufficient for muscle mass and strength growth.

For beginners in bodybuilding, regardless of body weight, the "working" dosage will be:

• 40 mg per day, divided into two doses of 20 mg: the first part in the morning after waking up, and the second part after 8 hours.

• Tablets should be swallowed on an empty stomach and washed down with plenty of water. Doses should ideally be taken at the same time every day.

• The Turinabol cycle should last at least 6 weeks. If desired, it can be extended to 8 weeks.

At our store, you can buy a ready-made solo Turinabol cycle with PCT and a 6% discount.

Some internet sources suggest dissolving Turinabol under the tongue, claiming that the active substance directly enters the bloodstream, reducing liver strain...

In my opinion, this method is inconvenient and offers no practical benefit. The active substance of Turinabol will be metabolized in the liver regardless of the intake method. We will discuss this further in the section on mistakes and side effects of Turinabol.

How Much Turinabol is Needed for a Solo Cycle?

By performing simple mathematical calculations, we can determine the amount of "Turik" needed for a cycle depending on the number of weeks.

For a dosage of 4 tablets per day over 6 weeks: 4 tablets x 6 weeks x 7 days = 168 tablets.

Therefore, for a 6-week cycle, 168 tablets are needed, and for an 8-week cycle, 224 tablets.

Benefits of a Turinabol Cycle

For a first cycle, "Turik" is chosen primarily for its "safety."

The drug is not affected by the aromatase enzyme and therefore does not convert into estrogens. As a result, the side effects associated with aromatizing steroids are not a concern during the cycle.

The most feared side effect by beginners is the risk of developing gynecomastia—growth of male breast tissue due to excess estrogen.

So, once again, taking Turinabol does not pose the risk of gynecomastia because Turinabol does not convert into estrogen.

The liver strain during the cycle is moderate. Typically, neither on-cycle nor post-cycle support with hepatoprotectors is necessary.

There is also no need to use Anastrozole or other aromatase inhibitors during the Turinabol cycle.

Effects of Turinabol

• Slow gain of muscle mass, but the mass will be of high quality, without fat and excess water retention

• Protects the cardiovascular system from thrombus formation

• Moderate fat-burning effect

• Accelerates the regeneration of muscle fibers damaged by workouts

• Speeds up glycogen synthesis, increasing muscle productivity and endurance

• Virtually no estrogenic or androgenic side effects

• Significant increase in strength indicators

• Minimal suppression of endogenous testosterone production, no need for HCG during the cycle

• Muscle gains of 4 to 8 kg during the cycle

Turinabol - Combined Cycles

Turinabol is frequently used in combined mass-gain cycles as an anabolic agent alongside an androgenic drug. The possible combinations are almost endless.

Combined Cycle Options with Turinabol for Beginners:

• Turinabol 40 mg + Boldenone from 400 mg per week – a safe cycle for very high-quality muscle mass. Such a cycle should last no less than 8 weeks since Boldenone takes a long time to "kick in." HCG and a transition to a "short" testosterone ester three weeks before the end of the cycle with subsequent anti-estrogen therapy are necessary.

• Turinabol 40 mg + Testosterone (Sustanon, Testosterone Enanthate, Cypionate) from 250 mg per week. Duration from 6 weeks.

• Turinabol 40 mg + Nandrolone (Deca) from 200 mg per week.

• Turinabol 40 mg + Testosterone Propionate from 100 mg every other day. Duration 6 weeks – an option for cutting.

There are numerous possible combinations with Turinabol. Listing them all in this article is impractical.

We will present all possible combinations in the "Ready-made cycles" section.

Turinabol Cycle for Fighters, Boxers, MMA, and Track Athletes

Due to its ability to significantly enhance speed-strength performance and cardiorespiratory endurance (provided that training is aimed at developing these qualities), "Turik" is very popular among athletes in disciplines requiring these improvements without weight gain.

For track athletes, fighters, and other profile athletes, short Turinabol cycles of 4 to 6 weeks at a dosage of 10-20 mg per day are recommended. PCT is not required after such a cycle since endogenous testosterone suppression will be minimal. Testosterone levels will normalize on their own within a few weeks after discontinuing the AAS.

However, competitive athletes should remember that Turinabol is easily detected in doping tests.

With appropriate testing equipment and new chromatography-mass spectrometry methods, long-lasting metabolites of the steroid can be detected up to 250 days after the cycle ends.

Turinabol Cycle for Women and Girls

Despite Turinabol being the main steroid prescribed by East German sports doctors to women and girls for achieving athletic results, we do not recommend its use in amateur sports and fitness for women. There are other steroids that women can use without the risk of side effects. However, if you are an ambitious athlete and other steroids for women have already exhausted their potential in your body, you may try a Turinabol cycle.

The maximum dosage should not exceed 10-15 mg per day, divided into two doses. Increasing the dosage may trigger virilization—manifestation of male traits such as deepening of the voice, clitoral hypertrophy, menstrual irregularities, and hair growth.

Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT) After Turinabol

As mentioned earlier, if Turinabol is used at relatively low dosages and for a short period, it moderately suppresses testicular function, and there is no need to use HCG during short cycles.

The preferred PCT medication is Clomid—a selective estrogen receptor modulator that does not have toxic effects on the body. Tamoxifen can also be used.

Clomid therapy after the cycle should begin 24 hours after the last dose of Turinabol. The PCT duration is 25 days:

• First two weeks: 50 mg of Clomid per day

• Following 10 days: 25 mg of Clomid per day

This duration and dosage are sufficient to restore endogenous testosterone levels to pre-cycle values.

Interestingly, endogenous testosterone levels after PCT often become higher than before the cycle.

Common Mistakes When Taking Turinabol

Using Turinabol at Very Low or High Dosages

Many users taking this steroid for muscle gain do not achieve the desired effect due to using extremely low dosages.

We have already discussed the recommended dosage, which is 40 mg per day. However, there is a category of people who "want to and are afraid to," taking 10-20 mg and then complaining about the drug's ineffectiveness.

On the other hand, using high dosages above 50 mg does not lead to better results but increases the risk of side effects.

Combining Turinabol with Other Oral Steroids

In online stores, I have come across ready-made steroid cycle schemes that simultaneously use Turinabol and Stanozolol, with a total oral steroid dosage reaching 80 mg per day.

This should not be done. Taking more than 50 mg of oral steroids per day creates excessive liver toxicity, and in such conditions, neither good health nor progress in muscle gain can be expected.

Improper Diet During the Cycle

Improper diet refers to the lack of a diet aimed at muscle gain or cutting.

Those starting AAS often do not adjust their diet, eating irregularly and indiscriminately. The result is no progress in muscle gain.

The reason is simple: you need to compensate for the energy the body uses for daily needs and create a surplus of quality calories and protein—at least 1.5 grams per kg of body weight—so that the body has the building blocks for new muscle cells. Simply put, you need to consume more calories than you burn. In the case of cutting, you should consume fewer calories to create a calorie deficit.

Consuming Alcohol During the Cycle

Our consultants are often asked if they can drink alcohol on a Turinabol cycle—wine, beer, etc. Our answer is: we do not recommend it.

Besides negatively affecting protein synthesis and the cardiovascular system, alcohol creates significant liver toxicity. (Refer to point 2)

Not Conducting PCT

There is often misinformation on the internet claiming that PCT after a Turinabol cycle is unnecessary.

This is a dangerous misconception. PCT must be conducted.

Turinabol, though moderately, still suppresses testicular function. After 3-4 weeks on a Turinabol cycle, endogenous testosterone production drops to near-zero levels. Therefore, conducting PCT is crucial for quick recovery. The extent of post-cycle muscle loss depends on whether you conduct PCT.

Answers to Popular Questions About Turinabol

How to Take Turinabol Solo?

Solo means that Turinabol will be the only drug in your cycle, with no other steroids taken alongside it.

The optimal dosage for taking Turinabol solo is 30-40 mg—3-4 tablets per day. It can be divided into two doses: two tablets in the morning and two in the afternoon. The drug can be taken before, during, or after meals, with no significant difference. The optimal cycle duration is 6 weeks. PCT should start the day after discontinuing Turinabol.

How Much Turinabol is Needed for a Cycle?

The amount of Turinabol needed for a cycle depends on the cycle duration.

For beginners, a 6-week cycle (42 days) is considered optimal, with a dosage of 40 mg per day or 4 tablets of 10 mg each.

Based on these data, we perform simple calculations: Number of days in the cycle multiplied by the number of tablets per day: 42 days x 4 tablets = 168 tablets.

You can buy Turinabol in blister packs at our store, in the quantity you need for the cycle.

How Does Turinabol Affect the Stomach (Gastrointestinal Tract, Liver)?

Like any oral (tablet form) steroid, Turinabol has some liver toxicity. (Regular alcohol consumption has far more negative consequences than a Turinabol cycle.) However, negative effects from the drug are extremely rare. Usually, all negative manifestations during a Turinabol cycle are associated with bile stagnation. Bile stagnation can cause a pulling pain in the right hypochondrium, which may lead you to think your liver is affected. But rest assured, your liver is fine. The liver cannot physiologically cause pain because it lacks pain receptors. If you experience pain in the right hypochondrium while on Turinabol, start taking some choleretic agents: Allochol, Artichoke, Holosas.

Usually, liver support (hepatoprotectors) is unnecessary during the cycle. It can even be harmful! After the cycle, there is no need for hepatoprotectors either. Liver indicators will recover on their own in a fairly short time.

Taking Turinabol on an empty stomach can cause heartburn, especially for people with high acidity. Internet myths about someone "ruining" or "damaging" their stomach with Turinabol have no basis in fact.

How Does Turinabol Affect the Heart and Blood Pressure?

One of Turinabol’s effects is protecting the cardiovascular system during the cycle. Turinabol prevents thrombus formation in the blood vessels and heart. Cardiorespiratory endurance significantly increases during the cycle. So, it can be confidently stated that Turinabol positively affects the heart.

Turinabol does not cause fluid retention in the body, so it does not affect blood pressure.

How Does Turinabol Affect Potency?

During the cycle, Turinabol positively impacts libido. At one time, in the USA, Turinabol was colloquially called the "sex drug." During a Turinabol cycle, a significant increase in libido is possible.

Athletes who took Turinabol for up to 6 weeks did not report decreased libido compared to pre-cycle levels. For cycles longer than 8 weeks, a slight decrease in libido is possible after discontinuing the drug. Therefore, for long cycles, HCG should be used and PCT conducted 3 weeks before the end of the cycle.

Turinabol significantly suppresses endogenous testosterone production during long cycles. Therefore, a full PCT is necessary after discontinuing this steroid.

If you are concerned about your libido post-cycle, consider buying Cialis (EskuLava).

Conclusions

Turinabol is the best oral drug for a first steroid cycle for those under 30. It is suitable for both muscle gain and body cutting.

The risk of side effects with proper use is minimal, primarily relating to liver strain. Liver indicators usually normalize within a couple of weeks after discontinuing the drug.

The drug has no estrogenic side effects. Androgenic side effects are extremely rare.

During the cycle, you can gain 4 to 8 kg of muscle mass. The muscle gain will be slow but of high quality, without fat deposits. Conducting PCT and continuing training will help retain all the mass gained during the cycle.
