Dianabol, Ciba's old brand name for 5mg methandrostenolone tablets, has always been one of the most popular anabolic steroids available. Dianabol's popularity stems from it's almost immediate and very strong anabolic effects. 4-5 tablets a day is enough to give almost anybody dramatic results. Along with strong anabolic effects comes the usual androgen side effects. Dianabol converts to estrogen, so gyno and water retention may be a problem although are usually dose related. Aggression may be increased, and users often report an overall sense of well being. The fact that Dianabol has been off the U.S. market for almost 10 years has not at all stopped its use and remains the most popularly used black market oral steroid in the U.S.. The most popular versions in the U.S. are the Russian tablets coming into the east coast, Anabol from Thailand, Pronabol from India and Refovit from Mexico. The Russian Dianabol, which is vastly and accurately counterfeited, has been losing it's reputation as a safe buy. Users generally will not know if what they have is real until they use it, making for many angry customers. Reforvit is an injectable D, containing 25mg/ml of the substance. A 50 ml bottle contains the equivalent of 250 tablets and sells for a reasonable price. Most users opt to take this orally as it is just as effective as tablets. The pink Thai tablets are also popular and should be the only tablets purchased without paperwork or box. These come in bottles of 1000 tablets only, so they are almost always broken up and sold loose. Be cautious, bogus anabols have already begun to circulate. Methandon is also available in Thailand, but much less popular than the Anabol tabs.
