Superdrol (Methasterone)

Superdrol (Methasterone) is arguably the most potent oral anabolic steroid available on the market. Originally sold as a "dietary supplement" or prohormone in the mid-2000s, it is actually a C-17aa steroid derived from Drostanolone (Masteron).

Essentially, Superdrol is oral Masteron, but the methylation changes its activity profile drastically, turning a mild hardener into a mass-building monster.

Quick Specs

Mechanism of Action

Superdrol is methyldrostanolone. It possesses the 2-alpha methyl group of Masteron (which increases anabolic potency) AND a 17-alpha methyl group (which allows oral bioavailability).

These two modifications make it incredibly resistant to metabolic breakdown, resulting in extremely high anabolic activity but also extreme stress on the liver. It does not aromatize.

Pharmacokinetics & Dosing

Half-Life: 8-9 Hours

• Dosing: Typically taken twice daily.
• Dosage: Due to its extreme potency, doses are very low. 10mg to 20mg per day is standard. Going above 20mg/day exponentially increases side effects.

Primary Effects

1. Extreme Glycogen Retention

Superdrol forces muscles to hold massive amounts of glycogen. Users report a "full," pumped look almost 24/7. Muscles feel hard and dense.

2. Rapid Mass & Strength

Gains are comparable to Dianabol or Anadrol but without the water retention (bloat). A user might gain 10-15 lbs of "dry" weight in a 4-week cycle. Strength goes through the roof very quickly.

Side Effects & Harm Reduction

1. Lethargy

A very common side effect is extreme fatigue or lethargy. Users often report feeling "flu-like" symptoms or just wanting to sleep all day, despite looking huge. This is likely linked to liver stress and adrenal strain.

2. Loss of Appetite

Crucial for a bulking drug, Superdrol often kills appetite, making it hard to eat enough to support the growth it stimulates.

3. Lipid Crash

It destroys HDL levels faster than almost any other compound.

4. Shin Splints / Back Pumps

Debilitating pumps that can make cardio or walking difficult.

• Management:
  • Cycle Length: Maximum 3-4 weeks. Do not run for 6-8 weeks.
  • Support: Max dose NAC (1200mg+) and TUDCA (500mg+) are mandatory.
  • Hydration: Critical to manage pumps and kidney stress.

Tracking Superdrol

Using the Anabolic Tracker app:

1. Inventory: Add Superdrol.
2. Scheduling: Set strictly. Do not miss doses or double up.
3. Metrics: Track Energy Levels (1-10) and Appetite. A drop in these often signals that the body is becoming too stressed and the cycle might need to end early.
4. Notes: Log any signs of jaundice (yellowing eyes/skin) or upper abdominal pain immediately.
