It is not a DHT derivative. It is DHB or dihydroboldenone derivative.
“Primobolan Depot is a Class I steroid working well at the androgen receptor but which apparently is ineffective in non-AR-mediated anabolic effects. It is most closely compared to Deca Durabolin, requiring a higher dosage to achieve the same anabolic effect, but since it is pleasant to use at doses considerably higher than what is pleasant for nandrolone esters, it can achieve higher maximal effectiveness. That is, provided that one can afford it a gram per week of Primobolan Depot can be costly. 400 mg/week should be considered a reasonable minimum dose.
It appears to cause less inhibition than Deca or testosterone for any given degree of anabolic effect, perhaps because of low CNS activity, lack of conversion to DHT, and lack of aromatization to estrogen. Unlike Deca, it is not metabolically deactivated by 5a-reductase and therefore is not as kind to the skin and hair as that drug. However, when used by itself at modest doses, by suppressing natural testosterone and DHT production, it can improve skin relative to using no anabolic steroids at all.
The half-life is probably about 5 days.
The drug is particularly excellent for use as the last injectable used in a cycle, since for any given anabolic effect it gives much less inhibition than other steroids such as testosterone, nandrolone, or trenbolone. Therefore, residual levels of Primobolan can allow recovery in the taper while still offering useful anti-catabolic or even anabolic support”.
Every article I have read about primo always says it is closet to deca in its actions. A milder steroid with out all the sides of heavy andros.
My point it this, if you want to do a less potent drug then cut back current dosage and save you money to spend elsewhere. Primo is one of the weaker Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) out there. It is also one of the most exspensive, even for home brewers. The powder is outrageous. Either deca or eq work just as well and better mg/mg and at a fraction of the cost.
Hope this helps Johnny B. I enjoy your posts BTW.
