- Primobolan (methenolone) is an anabolic steroid that can interact with natural testosterone levels in complex ways. It may suppress testosterone production via negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. However, by avoiding conversion to estrogen, it can also mitigate side effects like gynecomastia that often accompany testosterone suppression.
- Research on primobolan's effects on testosterone levels is limited and results are mixed. Some studies suggest it has a mild effect while others show more pronounced testosterone suppression. Individual variation also plays a role.
- Factors like dosage, length of cycle, addition of other steroids or medications, genetics and lifestyle also impact testosterone levels before, during and after primobolan use.
- Recovery of natural testosterone production after using primobolan can vary greatly between individuals. Proper post cycle therapy is important to facilitate bounce back.
- Bloodwork monitoring before, during and after use is advisable to track individual hormone levels and adjust protocols accordingly. Estradiol levels are also relevant.
I aimed to summarize current scientific understanding of the complex interplay between primobolan and testosterone without recommending or advertising. Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
