What Turinabol is

Class and mechanism

Turinabol is an oral anabolic-androgenic steroid. A chlorinated derivative of methandrostenolone. The 4-chloro substitution prevents aromatisation.

Where it sits

Oral compounds are tablets, and the structural feature that makes a compound orally active is usually 17-alpha-alkylation, which resists first-pass hepatic metabolism. That same feature is why oral compounds are discussed differently from injectables.

Other names

Turinabol is also written as Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone and Tbol. The same molecule appears under more than one name, which is worth knowing when comparing listings between suppliers.

Others in the oral compounds range

Turinabol sits in the oral compounds group. The compounds below share that grouping, which is the useful starting point when comparing one against another: same group means the comparison is like for like, different group usually means it is not.
