DHB and estrogen
ad
Those who have used DHB, have you found it lowered your estrogen? How much? What dose? How did you like the compound in general compared to primo for example? I know it’s probably hard to compare, but I’ve heard dhb is primo on steroids

I found DHB to be similar to masteron’s SERM-like e2 properties. It’s very androgenic, and that probably lessened high e2 symptoms without reducing total estradiol.
My boyfriend @Aggieguy might have some better insights tho. He loves DHB
You may have heard that it is chemically similar to primo which is true. But superdrol is chemically even closer to Masteron and those drugs behave quite differently.
Not chemically I meant in terms of effects (dhb being more potent per mg obviously) Of course superdrol is methylated masteron and are vastly different.
DHB isn't an estrogen-lowering drug and isn't an estrogen receptor blocker. I have not used it yet, I have a good stockpile and will incorporate it into my next cycle. From what ive read, I do not plan or running too high of a dose, 200- 300 mg alongside 500-ish mg of Test.
Comparing the 2, DHB: More aggressive and generally regarded as the more potent muscle/strength builder. Produces relatively dry, dense-looking gains, but tends to come with a rougher side-effect/tolerability profile.
Primo: Milder and slower-building. Known for gradual, lean gains with relatively little water retention and generally better tolerability.
The two are not comparable. Like Mast, DHB MIGHT lower e2 for SOME users but its not universal.
I am currently on 300mg of DHB weekly, just started week 9. My cycle consists of Test, DHB, and Primo. I am liking the results. The cycle started a zero pip but slowly got worse over time. Currently I sit on ice packs to ease the PIP, although it hasn't gotten bad enough to want to quit.
If you plan on using DHB as an AI, like one would for Primo, then you are going to be disappointed and going to have an high e2.
Appreciate it bro. Only reason I ask about the AI effect is because I DONT want it to lower my e2 because primo already does plenty of that for me, a bit too much. I’ve heard anecdotally it can in some, but probably not as reliably as primo. Would you say it’s comparable to masteron moreso just more potent? I thinking of swapping my mast for it and save mast for my cut. On test primo mast atm growth phase. Can you compare the look?
I would say both DHB and Mast are cutting compounds, most DHTs are. If you looking to put on some mass, add some NPP to your Test/Primo stack. NPP is relatively cheap and every source here has it.
DHB is testosterone-derived tho, but I get your point. I’ve used npp but even at like 150-200 a week it makes me insanely bloated and watery just completely throws off visuals and makes it hard to see if I’m getting fat or not. Also the mental.. no go for me after 8 weeks.
"DHB is testosterone-derived tho"... no, its not.
DHB is a 5α-reduced derivative of boldenone not Test (hence the "B" in DHB, -boldenone), structurally analogous to how DHT is the 5α-reduced derivative of testosterone. DHB is generally classified as a DHT-derived anabolic steroid. It can be used for cutting or bulking but by my experience, and many others say its more for cutting/recomp.
Despite the name “1-testosterone,” it isn't testosterone and doesn't convert to testosterone.
Take a look at this.. this dude has way more experience than I. I've had the same experience since stating it.

Also I forgot to ask, any sleep disturbances? This is big for me
I always have sleep disturbances.. cycle or not, so I have no idea if DHB would affect your sleep. I noticed no change in my already fuck up sleep patterns.
I have recently added Epitaleon to my nightly routine and have gotten really good results. I sleep 8 hours now, I still get up 1-2 throughout the night however, I used to only sleep 4-5 hours.
Ive got Epitaleon along with dsip coming tomorrow whats your dosage you taking.
I have the same problem. I will add epitaleon to my list of things to try.
I stand corrected. I just assumed since boldenone was testosterone derived, and dhb is derived from boldenone, that it must be testosterone derived. Thank you for this
