Propecia is used to tread balding in males as well as prostate enlargement, but it has some very interesting properties that every bodybuilder should know about.

Overview
The drug works by reducing the amount of DHT (di-hydro-testosterone) in the body. Many steroids convert to DHT that is in turn responsible for numerous androgenic side effects. Both balding and prostate enlargement is included here. These two side effects are what most users are most concerned about, if not they should be.

In addition to these positive aspects, one has to also understand that the substance in effct an change the androgenic profile of a given steroid. In effct it can help reduce the androgenic side effects a steroid making it more usable by sensitive or concerned users. Blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT results in as much as a 15% increase in serum testosterone levels! Besides redusing or stopping hair-loss some users report actual reversal of the process.

Side effects
There basically no side effct when this substance is used correctly but there are some precautions. Some users report a reduction in libido. Another obscure consideration is that the substance absorbs readily through the skin, this means that anybody handling a tab will absorb some of the active, this substance is highly detrimental to an unborn foetus and seeing as a dose as low as 1mg is enough for it to effective, pregnant women just handling the tabs will be placing their unborn child at extreme risk so don’t go anywhere near it if you are pregnant and don’t allow anybody else to handle your tabs!

Women should not go anywhere near it, let alone use it.

Dosage
1mg is enough for the drug to work satisfactorily in most cases. This is a potent substance and you have to build dosage up by 1mg at a time over a period of time. Combining it with Kessar/Nolvadex makes a very effective stack to deal with side effects of testosterone conversion.

This is a very effective drug and should be considered by anybody using steroids, males that is. It is expensive but there is nothing else like it.

Price:
R420 for 28 tabs is what you can expect to pay.
