4-DHEA is a naturally occurring isomer. 4-DHEA readily converts to 4-androstenediol, rather than 5-androstenediol, boosting its anabolic potency more than 2x over regular.
4-DHEA is also expected to have a higher conversion rate to testosterone compared to regular . The 4-DHEA also lacks the calorie burning thermogenic properties, therefore offering superior calorie retention for a bulking effect. Diese erhöhte anabole Potenz und die verringerte thermogene Wirkung führen zu spürbaren Kraftzuwächsen, Wachstum von magerem Gewebe, und Gewichtszunahme.
4-DHEA wandelt sich zunächst in Androstendiol und Androstendion und dann in Testosteron um. 4-DHEA wird am besten in Phasen des Masseaufbaus und nicht während Diätphasen verwendet, da es als „feuchtes“ Prohormon gilt, das mit Massenzuwächsen verbunden ist, die mit vorübergehenden Blähungen einhergehen.
Die östrogenen Nebenwirkungen von 4-DHEA wurden im Vergleich zu DHEA deutlich reduziert. 4-DHEA kann in Östrogen umgewandelt werden, kann jedoch nicht wie DHEA direkt am Östrogenrezeptor wirken, Daher sind alle östrogenen Nebenwirkungen, die bei der Einnahme von 4-DHEA auftreten, ausschließlich auf erhöhte Östrogenspiegel zurückzuführen. Wie bei den meisten Prohormonen, estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia are a possibility with 4-DHEA. 4-DHEA is not methylated, so liver stress is not a concern.
4-DHEA is a naturally occurring non-methylated (non-17AA) PRO-steroid. Although 4-DHEA can aromatize to estrogen it is probably not enough to cause high estrogen related side-effects.
Overall results will be similar to or the original 4-AD banned back in 2004. Higher doses of this compound will produce fairly lean gains in muscle mass, with moderate improvements in strength. This product may produce some bloat from the estrogen conversion, which could be countered by administering an aromatase inhibitor, but this will largely defeat the purpose of using this compound to begin with.
Since this compound is naturally occurring and non-methylated overall side-effects will be fairly mild. Jedoch, high doses may also lead to oily skin, acne and increased blood pressure. Because this steroid is non-17AA there should be less concern about it negatively affecting the HDL/LDL ratio.
Because this compound can convert to testosterone it can also convert to DHT and other 5A-reduced metabolites. This can serve as a good stack with progestational or relatively non-androgenic compounds that may create problems with libido or gyno because of lacking androgenic potency.
