Note: Being a steroid, TheBigSleuth does not recommend using Turinabol – however we have been frequently asked about this steroid so we have prepared this guide for informational purposes only.

We’ll answer all your most commonly asked questions on Turinabol, along with other things you should know regarding this oral steroid.

What does the Steroid Turinabol Do?

Turinabol is an oral androgenic anabolic steroid (AAS). It is a synthetic, man-made drug that works the same way as testosterone.

Drugs like Turinabol were originally used for the treatment of delayed puberty in boys, anemia, muscle loss due to HIV and breast cancer.

You can also see these used for replacing testosterone in men diagnosed with low T.

What is Turinabol Good For?

Bodybuilders report that Turinabol is good for building strength and muscle mass.

It’s essentially a form of testosterone and allows you to build muscle and recover at a much faster rate than naturally.

Many bodybuilders also name Tbol as ‘Mild Dianabol’. Turinabol is technically a derivative of Dianabol but not as potent.

People believe it carries less risk than Dianabol – however, there are some still dangers when using Turinabol.

Turinabol Dosage

What are the Effects of Turinabol?
Turinabol is an oral steroid, that means it is hepatoxic. It can cause toxic damage to your liver. Cycle and liver supporting options are advisable alongside Turinabol.

It can also cause cardiovascular problems which can affect blood flow, and may cause blockages in blood vessels.

Turinabol will also stop your body’s natural production of testosterone. You should always run a post cycle theraphy after using steroids to help restart your natural testosterone production after finishing a cycle of Tbol.

On the upside, Turinabol is non-aromatizable, meaning it will not raise your levels of estrogen or cause issues such as water retention, gynecomastia or libido related issues.

How long does Turinabol Stay in Your System?
Turinabol has been traceable for 12 hours up to 18 months. It really depends on your biochemistry.

Unfortunately, as this is a steroid that is not recommended for wide-spread use, this has not been studied enough for us to give you accurate numbers.

If you do not want Turinabol to show up in a drug test – do not take it. That potential 18 month lasting period is no joke.

Turinabol Half Life
Turinabol’s half life is 16 hours. Taking it once a day is more than enough.

This is a considerably long time for an oral steroid, considering after 16 hours it will still be at half potency.

 

Turinabol Gains

You will start seeing Turinabol gains shortly after cycling it. It will boost your muscle mass, strength and general body weight very quickly.

It does this well because it is essentially maximizing the amount of testosterone in your blood to the point that your body stops producing it naturally because there is so much.

You will see gains from using Turinabol.

Turinabol Cycle
You can’t use Turinabol forever, you need to cycle it.

If you’re going to use it, it’s recommended that you use Tbol for a cycle of 1 – 6 weeks.

You should be taking it orally, and daily.

A steroid cycle is essentially a period of time that you use a steroid for, then you stop using it to let your body recover, and then start using it again.

Using it constantly for long periods of time will cause a lot of internal damage.

Turinabol Dosage

Many report that the ideal Turinabol dosage for experienced users should be around 50mg a day.

It’s believed to be the sweet-spot between minor side effects and good results.

If you’re new to oral steroids, it’s recommended that you use 20mg a day for a period of 1 – 4 weeks and assess your tolerance.
