1-DHEA (1-Androstene-3b-ol,17-one)

Steroid Supplements Prohormone Powder 1-DHEA (1-Androstene-3b-ol,17-one) Raws

Description:

1-Dehydroepiandrosterone (1-DHEA) is a hormone alternative to standard DHEA supplements

that is more geared for men who wish to look and feel their best. According to scientific

information 1-ene hormones like 1-DHEA may in fact be preferred to standard DHEA (5-DHEA)

for men who wish to use the anti-aging benefits. Standard 5-DHEA found on many store shelves

can have estrogenic side effects that men do not need nor want.

1-Androsterone, or 1-DHEA, may appear under the nomenclature 1-androsten-3b-ol-17-one. 1-

Androsterone is currently available over the counter, and is contained in Iron Mag Labs 1-Andro-

Rx, Advanced Muscle Science 1-Androsterone RD, and Primordial Performance 1-T. 1-

Androsterone is a true prohormone, converting to 1-testosterone (dihydroboldenone). Orally, 1-

Androsterone has about a 10% conversion rate to 1-testosterone. Using this prohormone as a

sublingual (absorbed through the tissues under the tongue) or as a transdermal (absorbed

through the skin) may improve boiavailability, yielding more total 1-testosterone delivered to the

body. 1-Androsterone is great for gains in both strength and size. It does not convert to estrogen

so it is great for cutting cycles or for stacking with compounds that do have estrogenic activity

during a bulking phase. Because 1-Androsterone is non-methylated, it can be stacked with

methylated steroids or prohormones without putting additional stress on the liver.

Application:

1- Androsteronetm (1-DHEA) is a non-methylated (non 17aa) pro-steroid that must convert to 1-

androstenediol (1-AD), 1-androstenedione (original 1-AD) and/or 1-testosterone to be active.

The double bond in the 1st position seems to slightly enhance its ability to resist excretion by the

liver.

1-Androsterone occurs naturally in the body, and is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA. (2)

The 17b-HSD enzyme converts 1-Androsterone to 1-Androstenediol, and the 3b-HSD converts it

to 1-Androstenedione. Both of these 1-AD metabolites can then be converted to 1-Testosterone.

Although the 1-AD metabolites are known to have some anabolic and androgenic effects on their

own, 1-Testosterone is probably where most of the effects come from with this steroid.

There is no conversion to estrogen so users will not experience bloat with this compound, nor will

it have a dramatic effect on blood pressure. However one unique side effect that users have

reported with this compound is a feeling of lethargy. (It appears that stacking 1-Androsterone with

a nuero-active hormone such as DHEA can help reverse this effect).

1-Androsterone (and primarily its metabolites) have relatively potent androgenic effects, therefore

gyno is almost never an issue. However, because of the androgenic potency, this compound

could pose a mild hair loss risk for those prone to MPB. Because this steroid is non-17aa there

should be less concern about it negatively affecting the HDL/LDL ratio.

Results from this compound generally take a couple weeks to be realized. Moderate gains of

lean muscle mass and strength can be expected, but users should not expect rapid increases in

size or weight with this compound since extra-cellular and intra-cellular water retention are very

minimal. This makes the gains from this steroid fairly easy to maintain post cycle.

1-Androsterone will stack well with almost any compound. For more dramatic gains in size and

strength it is recommended to stack this compound with an aromatizing steroid or possibly one of

the progestational compounds listed elsewhere.

Dosage:

The dosing one chooses to work with varies greatly on whether they are stacking this compound

with other anabolics or running it solo. Generally with 1-DHEA 300-600mg a day is the most

popular dosage, however experienced users with past pro-hormone or designer steroid

experience can experiment with dosages in upwards of 700-1000mg. The added benefit may be

negligible at this dosage and the likely-hood of side effects sharply increases..

Since this compound is not as hard on your body cycles can be extended up to 8 weeks in length

with 6 weeks being the most common. Most users will begin to notice the effects by the third

week in the form of muscle hardness/increased strength. Novice users should always stay within

the general dosing amounts and not exceed 6 weeks in cycle length, although more experienced

users can safely run 1-DHEA for 8 weeks.

You should split up your dosages into 2-3 different times throughout the day, ideally separated by

5-6 hours (or 8 hours if two daily dosages). For the ideal results, take your largest dosage 45

minutes to one hour before your workout session.
