Methandriol (Methostan)

Home >> Steroid Profiles >> Methandriol

by Bill Roberts - This substance, used in some Australian veterinary products, is to be avoided by male bodybuilders. It is highly estrogenic, and has no redeeming properties. It is a poor anabolic and the mythical "receptor-cleaning" properties that have been claimed for it are pure fantasy.

An anti-aromatase would not correct the estrogenic problems of this drug, since it is directly estrogenic, not requiring conversion by aromatase. An anti-estrogen such as Clomid would probably help, but since methandriol is a poor anabolic anyway, there is no point to a methandriol/Clomid stack.

Methandriol is the chemical name of active ingredient in Methastan. Methastan was a registered trademark of Schering in the United States and/or other countries.
