Description
Trenbolone enanthate, known by the nickname Trenabol, is a synthetic and injected anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS) and a derivative of nandrolone which was never marketed. It is the C17β enanthate ester and a long-acting prodrug of trenbolone. Trenbolone enanthate was never approved for medical or veterinary use but is used in scientific research and has been sold on the internet black market as a designer steroid for bodybuilders and athletes.
Uses
Trenbolone Enanthate is an analog of Trenbolone (T719000), a controlled substance (anabolic steroid). This is the labeled analog.
Indications
Testosterone enanthate is classified as an AAS for two reasons. It is both a synthetic drug derived from the testosterone hormone and a testosterone pro-drug. This means it stimulates the body to make its own testosterone.1 With that being said, it has stronger androgenic effects and only moderate anabolic effects.The drug can be used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in cisgender (cis) men with hypogonadism, or the decreased ability to make testosterone.1 Causes of this condition include injury, infection, and cancer of the testes.
Clinical Use
This medication is used in men who do not make enough of a natural substance called testosterone. In males, testosterone is responsible for many normal functions, including growth and development of the genitals, muscles, and bones. It also helps cause normal sexual development (puberty) in boys. Testosterone belongs to a class of drugs known as androgens. It works by affecting many body systems so that the body can develop and function normally.Testosterone may also be used in certain adolescent boys to cause puberty in those with delayed puberty. It may also be used to treat certain types of breast cancer in women.
