Steroid Hormone Powder Epiandrosterone Trans-Androstetone For Bodybuilding
1. Epiandrosterone is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic
activity.
2. It is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone via the 5α
-reductase enzyme.
3. It was first isolated in 1931, by Adolf Friedrich Johann
Butenandt and Kurt Tscherning.
4. They distilled over 17, 000 litres of male urine, from which
they got 50 milligrams of crystalline Androsterone (most likely
mixed isomers), which was sufficient to find that the chemical
formula was very similar to estrone.
5. Epiandrosterone has been shown to naturally occur in most
mammals including pigs.
6. Epiandrosterone is naturally produced by the enzyme 5α
-reductase from the adrenal hormone.
7. Epiandrosterone can also be converted from the natural steroids
androstanediol via 17β -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase or
fromandrostanedione via 3β -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

Epiandrosterone description:
Epiandrosterone is a prohormone that is completely legal and
available over the counter. It may also appear under the name
3b-hydroxy-etioallocholan-17-one. Epiandrosterone is a precursor to
Stanolone, a powerful steroid hormone. Epiandrosterone can be found
naturally occuring in most mammals and is excreted in urine as a
normal part of human metabolism. One of the reasons that this
prohormone is legal because it has been found to be naturally
occurring in pine pollen. (1) Epiandrosterone and Androsterone are
very closely related. Androsterone is the 3-alpha isomer and
epiandrosterone is the 3-beta isomer of this compound. The actions
of the two isomers in the body are different, but still very
similar. Most epiandrosterone supplements are actually a mix of the
two isomers, meaning that they contain some androsterone as well as
the main ingredient epiandrosterone.
Stanolone, the hormone that epiandrosterone converts to in the
body, is very androgenic. This makes hair loss a possible concern
with epiandrosterone, but anecdotal evidence has shown that it is
not too harsh in this area. Epiandrosterone does not aromatise to
estrogen, so bloating and gyno should not be much of a concern.
This compound will not produce remarkable size gains in comparison
to other prohormones, but it is especially good for strength gains
and muscle density and definition, which makes it great to use
during a cutting cycle or alongside a prohormone that helps build
mass during a bulking phase for a balanced strength and size stack.
One additional benefit of epiandrosterone is that it appears to
have some immediate neurological effects, so having a dose
pre-workout can aid in strength and aggression.
How to use:
Typical dosage is in the range of 300-400 mg/day, though some users
may dose higher than this. This is best used in 4-6 week cycles.
Although Epiandrosterone does not cause severe shut down of
testosterone production like many other prohormones, it is still a
good idea too use a mild over the counter post-cycle therapy. An
over the counter anti-estrogen/test booster will do just fine for
recovery from an epiandrosterone cycle.
As mentioned earlier, epiandrosterone and its 3-alpha isomer
androsterone are completely legal and available over the counter.
LG Sciences MMv3 uses the 3-alpha isomer of this compound because
it is better for the special sublingual delivery system that this
product utilizes. By placing a tablet under the tongue, the
compound is absorbed directly through the tissues in that area and
into the blood stream.
Function:
Epiandrosterone is a naturally occurring steroid synthesized in the
adrenal cortex, gonads, brain, and gastrointestinal tract.
It is less active than androsterone and excreted in small amounts
in normal human urine.
Epiandrosterone is a metabolite of the most abundant adrenal androgenic steroid dehydroepiandrosterone in young adult humans, but is not completely inactive and is considered an effector as well.
Epiandrosterone is a precursor or substrate for cytochrome P450
species and enzymes (EC 1.14.13.100, 25-hydroxycholesterol
7alpha-hydroxylase) that produce 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroxylated
metabolites in the human brain and other organs.
These 7-hydroxylated derivatives exert anti-glucocorticoid and
neuroprotective effect.
