Maxteron™ (5-alpha androstanediol) is a prohormone of the androgenic steroid dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the human body DHT is a more active form of testosterone (displaying approximately three to four times its original potency), produced in various target tissues where strong androgenic action is needed. The higher level of activity associated with DHT is due to the fact that this hormone binds more avidly, and with greater stability, to the androgen receptor than testosterone. 

The structure of DHT also gives it some other welcome features; the most notable being that it cannot be aromatized into an estrogen. It therefore will not promote estrogenic side effects such as gynecomastia, fat buildup or water retention. In fact DHT, and its precursor 5-alpha androstanediol, have both been shown in studies to competitively lower aromatase (the enzyme responsible for androgen to estrogen conversion) activity in the body. It will therefore prove some usefulness as an antiaromatase, similar to the way athletes commonly use the steroid Proviron (mesterolone; 1-methyl dihydrotestosterone, an oral DHT form). 

DHT is not highly anabolic in the body, however its strong androgenic potency also make it extremely useful for promoting the loss of body fat. Highly androgenic drugs such as Proviron (mesterolone; 1-methyl DHT), Masteron (drostanolone; 2-methyl DHT) and Halotestin (fluoxymesterone; a non-aromatizable testosterone derivative) for example are often thought of as indispensable to the competitive bodybuilder, as the striking shift in androgen to estrogen ratio caused by such compounds can drastically improve the look of muscle hardness and density. As a DHT precursor Maxteron™ of course is similar in its ability to promote an androgenic metabolism. It is also important to mention that DHT seems to be more closely linked with the buildup of strength (via support of the neuromuscular system) than testosterone. Though it may not promote a significant body weight gain, the user may still notice a drastic increase in lifting ability as a result of its use. The overall trend seen with intake should be the development of a much tighter, harder and stronger physique.

DHT and other Prohormones:

Aside from being a powerful compound when taken alone, the beneficial properties of Maxteron™ also make it a very good addition to an existing prohormone routine. The already discussed ability to act as an aromatase inhibitor for example should prove very useful with aromatizable prohormones such as the testosterone precursors androstenedione, androstenediol. Combined with the inherent androgenic activity of DHT, the mixture should promote a more quality gain in terms of fat buildup and estrogenic side effects. DHT also displays a greater affinity for serum binding proteins (which act to constrain steroid hormones from being active) than testosterone, and may promote a greater level of free hormone due to competition for binding (resulting in an enhanced anabolic state). With the nandrolone precursors norandrostenedione and norandrostenediol we should also see a greater gain of strength, as well as support for libido, two areas often lacking without significant levels of DHT.

How Supplied:

Each capsule of Maxteron™ contains 50mg 5-alpha androstanediol, a naturally occurring steroidal metabolite of the potent androgenic hormone dihydrotestosterone. 60 capsules are packaged per bottle.

Dosage and Administration:

50-100mg 5-alpha androstanediol (1-2 capsules) can be taken per application, which is repeated two to three times daily. For maximum absorption take capsules on an empty stomach with 8 ounces of water. Due to its short span of activity in the body, doses of Maxteron™ should be spaced as evenly as possible throughout the day to ensure the most stable concentration of DHT in the blood.

Side Effects:

This product is a precursor to an active androgenic steroid hormone, and as such is capable of producing steroid related side effects when administered. This includes typical androgenic activity such as oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth, mood changes and aggravated hair loss. Women should be especially cautious with the use of male steroid hormones, as they can potentially cause virilizing or masculinizing effects. A notable incidence of side effect may indicate a need to stop therapy. As with all dietary supplements consult a physician or medical authority before using. 

Recommendations.

To help utilize the effects of MAXTERON, it is recommended that you use it as directed, keep a healthy diet, and maintain a consistent workout regimen. Also stacking it with another IMPACT Nutrition product like DermaGAIN will help enhance its effects.

1. Use as directed: Doses should be spread evenly throughout the day to ensure an evenly elevated level of MAXTERON in your system. 

2. Keep a healthy diet: Adjust your diet according to your personal goals. If you are trying to lose overall weight, keep a diet that is low in fat and useless calories. If you are trying to gain muscle and loose weight, keep a diet high in protein and complex carbohydrates. No matter what your goals are, to maintain your optimum metabolism, it is recommended that you drink a sufficient amount of water, get plenty of sleep (8 hours), and eat six meals daily.

3. Maintain a consistent workout regimen: Being consistent in your strength training is a key element to producing quality muscle or losing weight. Make a schedule and stick to it. It's important to get plenty of rest and separate your strength from your aerobic training. This will help prevent over training. 

MAXTERON is not recommended for people under the age of 21. Do not use MAXTERON if you have any pre-existing medical condition or if you are on any prescription medications unless a physician is consulted first.
