Also known as
Chlorotest
Chlorotest is an alternative designation for chlorodehydromethyltestosterone, a potent oral anabolic agent. It features a 2-chlorine substitution that significantly enhances its binding affinity to the androgen receptor, resulting in pronounced anabolic activity with minimal estrogenic effects. This compound does not convert to estrogen, so it lacks the typical fluid-retaining or gynaecomastia risks associated with other steroids. Users report substantial increases in lean muscle mass and strength. Athletes typically run this protocol for its rapid performance-enhancing properties. It is marketed exclusively by Pharmacom.
Compound Profile
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone is a 17-alpha-alkylated androgenic-anabolic steroid. Its unique structure, with the 4-chlorine atom replacing a hydrogen, contributes to its exceptionally high androgen receptor binding affinity. This results in strong anabolic effects without significant estrogenic or progestogenic activity. It is not converted by aromatase into estradiol, meaning it does not cause water retention or gynecomastia. The compound's primary effect is the stimulation of protein synthesis and nitrogen retention within muscle tissue.
Usage and Dosing
The standard clinical dose for chlorodehydromethyltestosterone is 10 mg per day, which aligns with the 10 mg tablet strength available. Users report that this dosage is sufficient to achieve significant performance and body composition changes. It has a short half-life, requiring daily oral administration to maintain stable plasma levels. The absence of estrogenic side effects simplifies its use, as no anti-estrogenic co-therapy is typically needed. Blood work should be monitored for any potential hepatic strain. It is contraindicated in individuals under 21 or with pre-existing liver conditions.
