Description
DHB usually refers to Dihydroboldenone, also known as 1-testosterone
What DHB (Dihydroboldenone) Is
- Chemical name: 1-Testosterone or 1-Dehydroandrostenolone.
- Origin: It’s a derivative of boldenone (Equipoise), a well-known anabolic steroid originally developed for veterinary use.
- Form: It’s often found in the injectable form DHB cypionate or enanthate.
Mechanism
- DHB binds strongly to androgen receptors, promoting muscle protein synthesis and nitrogen retention.
- It does not aromatize to estrogen, meaning it doesn’t convert to estradiol — so users don’t usually experience estrogenic side effects like water retention or gynecomastia.
- It’s considered more anabolic than boldenone and somewhat comparable to trenbolone in its muscle-building potential, but with fewer androgenic side effects.
Typical (unofficial) DHB Usage Patterns
1. Cycle Length
- Usually 8–12 weeks.
- Because of the compound’s strong suppression and injection pain, users rarely extend beyond 12 weeks.
2. Dosage (reported by bodybuilders)
- Beginner: 200–300 mg per week
- Intermediate: 300–500 mg per week
- Advanced: up to 600 mg per week
- Often split into 2–3 injections per week (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri) due to the cypionate ester’s half-life (~6–8 days).
3. Stacking (non-medical practice)
- Frequently combined with testosterone base (e.g., 200–300 mg/wk) to prevent testosterone suppression symptoms.
- Some add Primobolan or Masteron for a “dry” aesthetic stack.
- Never mix multiple untested or high-dose steroids without medical supervision — risks increase dramatically.
4. PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy)
Since DHB strongly suppresses endogenous testosterone, a PCT is essential to restore natural hormone balance.
Common unofficial approach (again: not a medical recommendation):
- Start: 2 weeks after last DHB injection (to allow clearance of cypionate ester).
- Duration: ~4 weeks.
- Typical drugs used:
- Clomiphene citrate (Clomid): 50 mg/day for 2 weeks, then 25 mg/day for 2 weeks.
- Tamoxifen (Nolvadex): 40 mg/day for 2 weeks, then 20 mg/day for 2 weeks.
- Some users add HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) during or before PCT to re-stimulate testicular activity.
⚠️ Major Health Risks
- Liver and kidney strain (especially if combined with oral compounds).
- Thickened blood / high hematocrit.
- Cholesterol imbalance (lower HDL, higher LDL).
- Possible heart enlargement with long-term use.
- Severe suppression of natural testosterone.
- Legal consequences (possession or distribution).
