I was wondering if anyone had heard of this or have used it.

The name is: Proviron[/b]
Active Substance names is: Mesterolone
Country: Greece

Below is some of the stuff I had read about on it and just want some input on this product.  Let me know what you all think. 


Proviron is a synthetic, orally effective androgen which does not have any anabolic characteristics. Proviron is used in school medicine to case or cure disturbances caused by a deficiency of male sex hormones. Many athletes, for this reason, often use Proviron at the end of a steroid treatment in order to increase the reduced testosterone production. This, however, is not a good idea since Proviron has no effect on the body's own testosterone production but - as mentioned in the beginning - only reduces or completely eliminates the dysfunctions caused by the testosterone deficiency. These are, in particular, impotence which is mostly caused by an androgen deficiency that can occur after the discontinuance of steroids, and infertility which manifests itself in a reduced sperm count and a reduced sperm quality. Proviron is therefore taken during a steroid administration or after discontinuing the use of the steroids, to eliminate a possible impotency or a reduced sexual interest. This, however, does not contribute to the maintenance of strength and muscle mass after the treatment. There are other better suited compounds for this (like HCG, Clomid). For this reason Proviron is unfortunately considered by many to be a useless and unnecessary compound.

You should be aware that Proviron is also an estrogen antagonist which prevents the aromatization of steroids. Unlike the antiestrogen Nolvadex which only blocks the estrogen receptors Proviron already prevents the aromatizing of steroids. Therefore gynecomastia and increased water retention are successfully blocked. Since Proviron strongly suppresses the forming of estrogens no rebound effect occurs after discontinuation of use of the compound as is the case with, for example, Nolvadex where an aromatization of the steroids is not prevented. One can say that Nolvadex cures the problem of aromatization at its root while Nolvadex simply cures the symptoms. For this reason male athletes should prefer Proviron to Nolvadex. With Proviron the athlete obtains more muscle hardness since the androgen level is increased and the estrogen concentration remains low. This, in particular, is noted positively during the preparation for a competition when used in combination with a diet. Female athletes who naturally have a higher estrogen level often supplement their steroid intake with Proviron resulting in increased muscle hardness.
The side effects of Proviron in men are low at a dosage of 24 tablets/day so that Proviron, taken for example in combination with a steroid cycle, can be used comparatively without risk over several weeks. Since Proviron is well tolerated by the liver, liver dysfunctions do not occur in the given dosages. For athletes who are used to acting under the motto "more is better" the intake of Proviron could have a paradoxical effect. The most common side effect of Proviron is a distinct sexual over stimulation and in some cases continuous penis erection. Since this condition can be painful and lead to possible damages, a lower dosage or discontinuing the compound are the only sensible solutions. Female athletes should use Proviron with caution since possible androgenic side effects cannot be excluded. Women who want to give Proviron a try should not take more than one 25 mg tablet per day. Higher dosages and periods of intake of more than four weeks considerably increase the risk of virilization symptoms. Female athletes who have no difficulties with Proviron obtain good results with 25 mg Proviron/day and 20 mg Nolvadex/day and, in combination with a diet, report an accelerated fat breakdown and continuously harder muscles

Some like it, some don't. I don't. Does absolutely nothing to me or for me. this seems to be one of those compounds from which results vary dramatically from individual to individual. Some claim increased muscle hardness/density, some swear by it for PCT, others state it jacks thier sex drive up a lot.

I agree with MnB on this as Proviron is one of those compounds that work great for some and so so for others. This of course is pretty much the same with any AAS as our genetics differ and as such so do our re-actions to hormones/drugs.

thanks for the advice on this.  I was wondering because they say it works like Nolvadex but also helps in hardening the muscle, and blocks the water retention, and is also a estrogen antagonist which prevents the aromatization of steroids. For the price I found I might just try and see how it works on me.  I guess as long as it doesn't hinder my progress.  I appreciate the input on this since I hadn't really heard of this before.

ive used it pre-contest. it's a great hardening agent, but, being a DHT derivative, it's brutal on hair loss. i have very long hair and always notice some come out in the shower, but using proviron caused a little too much for my liking. the results aren't worth the sides.

Proviron is a hit or miss depending on who you are talking to. Some love it and some could care less for it.

Smugglerr (where are you, bastard!) will swear by it, and highly recommends it.

I have to question it SUPER ability to prevent the aromatization of Testosterone. I think it helps, but does not PREVENT completely.

Also, I have a great profile on Proviron in the "Profiles" section of the Anabolics Forum.
