Classification: non 17aa Steroid

Administration: Orally taken as a capsule, or in drops (this form is not used by athletes)

Description: Anabolicum vister is an oral steroid produced only in Italy. It is used primarily in treating of the elderly, in particular women after menopause, and for the treatment of general diseases and symptoms of old age. However, all these positive characteristics make Anabolicum vister a very weak steroid which does not help athletes achieve significant improvements. Women, older athletes, and steroid novices may gain some advantages while the more advanced will be disappointed by its effect.

Side effects: Since Anabolicum vister is a very weak androgenic steroid it is well-tolerated. It has mainly an anabolic effect which stimulates the protein synthesis and has the welcome characteristic that it does not aromatize. It also causes only a low retention of water and salt. In addition, the substance is not 17-alpha alkylated so it is not liver-toxic. The side effects are minimal and usually occur in persons taking high doses and showing a sensitivity to the androgenic residual effect.

Dosage: Men usually need very high doses in the range of 80-120 mg/day to feel anything at all, while some women react with a small muscle gain and a nice strength gain by taking only 30-40 mg/day.

Packaging: 30 capsules come in a glass bottle with a screw cap, packaged in a matching box.

Availability: Produced in Italy. Rarely found on the black market since there are very few requests from athletes.

Counterfeits: None known
