Masteron is regarded by the bodybuilding community as being one of the ‘mild’ anabolic steroids when it comes to side effects. This is due in large part to the fact that Masteron is a DHT-derivative. Having been derived from DHT, it therefore possesses all of the same (or similar) attributes and features that DHT does. This includes the inability to interact with the aromatase enzyme, and therefore be completely void of any Estrogen-related side effects.
As previously mentioned, Masteron is totally void of any estrogenic side effects by virtue of the fact that it is a DHT-derivative. Not only does it completely avoid aromatization (conversion into Estrogen), evidence suggests that it behaves as a mild aromatase inhibitor as well. Side effects resultant of Estrogen buildup (such as water retention, bloating, fat retention and gain, and the development of gynecomastia) are completely avoided or reduced with the use of Masteron.
Masteron is even admired for its ability to promote dramatic enhancements in the terms of body strength and muscle function while helping users maintain body fat or even reducing it that is helpful in inhibiting loss of muscles while dieting. Considered a pre-contest drug for bodybuilders, Masteron is best used in dosages of 50-100 mg every day or every other day or 300-350 mg per week though some sportsmen and steroid users even use Masteron in doses of 400-500 mg every week. It is commonly stacked with Equipoise or Deca Durabolin or even Dianabol or an injectable testosterone. Cutting cycle with Masteron may include Winstrol, Primobolan, or Oxandrolone.
Masteron has been demonstrated as being a moderate aromatase inhibitor, as well as possibly acting to block Estrogen at receptor sites on breast tissue. This is the reason for Masteron’s original and primary use as an advanced breast cancer treatment drug. This is also the reason as to why Masteron has been explained by many experienced users as having a ‘hardening’ and ‘chiseling’ effect on the physique when the body is very lean (under 10% body fat). Masteron works to inhibit the aromatase enzyme, thereby eliminating the ability for estrogen to be formed from aromatizable anabolic steroids through the process of aromatization. Essentially, this effectively reduces any water retention as Estrogen levels continue to decline from increasing numbers of disabled aromatase enzymes.
