Epistane

Why Do People Take It?

[Disclaimer: These are the claimed effects, not recommendations]

• Dry, Hard Muscle Gains: Because it inhibits the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, users typically experience muscle growth without the 'bloat' or water retention common with other compounds.
• Increased Strength: Users often report rapid increases in lifting numbers and workout endurance due to enhanced protein synthesis.
• Fat Loss Support: While not a fat burner itself, the increase in lean muscle tissue can slightly boost metabolic rate, and the 'hard' look is often associated with lower body fat percentages.

How It Works (The Science)

Epistane is a DHT-derivative (Dihydrotestosterone). Once ingested, it survives the liver (it is 17-alpha alkylated) and travels to your muscles. There, it binds to androgen receptors, telling your cells to build more protein. Crucially, it does not convert to estrogen (aromatize), which is why it avoids 'gynecomastia' (male breast tissue growth) but also dries out the joints, leading to potential aches.

Natural Food Sources

There are no natural food sources of Epistane. It is a laboratory-synthesized molecule. You cannot eat fruits, vegetables, or meats to increase Epistane levels in your body. If you are looking for natural ways to support muscle growth and hormonal health, focus on Zinc, Magnesium, and Whole Protein sources (see the food table below for those natural alternatives).

Supplementation & Dosage

Epistane is strictly for advanced bodybuilders and is typically run in cycles of 4 to 6 weeks. Because it is hepatotoxic (liver stressing), it requires strict adherence to dosage (usually 10mg-30mg daily).

Who should take it? Honestly, very few people. It is a potent hormone modifier intended for competitive physique athletes, not general health.
