Overview
Methylstenbolone is a type of chemical known as an anabolic androgenic steroid. It is purchased over the internet for body building.
Because methylstenbolone is an anabolic androgenic steroid, it is believed to have muscle building effects.
People use methylstenbolone for athletic performance, muscle strength, obesity, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. Using methylstenbolone might also be unsafe.
In the US, it is illegal to include anabolic steroids, including methylstenbolone, in supplement products. But it is still found in some supplement products. These chemicals are also banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
