Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (Turinabol / Tbol))
An oral anabolic steroid (Turinabol) originally developed in East Germany, known for steady, lean gains with no water retention and a smoother profile than Dianabol. Educational reference only.
How it works
A structural blend of Dianabol and clostebol, this 17aa oral does not aromatize, so it produces dry, lean gains without estrogenic water retention. It has moderate anabolic and low androgenic activity.

Community reviews of Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone
- protocol_planner rated it 4/5 - Solid gains with manageable sides: Ran Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone for about 2 months at a moderate dose with proper support (AI, liver support, PCT planned). Strength went up noticeably by week 3-4 and body composition improved steadily. Side effects were present but manageable at the dose I ran. Some acne on shoulders, slight mood elevation (positive), and lipids shifted but stayed within an acceptable range per bloodwork. Did not push the dose and I think that made the difference. This is not something to approach without bloodwork, proper cycle support, and a real PCT plan. But used responsibly, the results are undeni
- cycle_sage rated it 5/5 - Bloodwork stayed reasonable throughout: Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone delivered on its reputation. Used at a conservative dose because I value health markers over maximum gains. Still got impressive results: strength up across all lifts, muscle fullness noticeably improved, recovery between sessions dramatically better. Side effect management was key. Had my protocols dialed in before starting. Minor androgenic sides (slightly oily skin) that resolved post-cycle. No significant mood issues at my dose. Would I run again? Yes, but with the same conservative approach and mandatory bloodwork. These compounds demand respect and respo
- loading_phase_lucy rated it 5/5 - Results matched expectations at moderate dose: Moderate dose of Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone for 4 months. Added about 8-12 lbs of lean tissue while body fat stayed stable or dropped slightly. Strength gains were progressive and consistent. Bloodwork at mid-cycle showed suppressed natural production as expected, lipids shifted but not dramatically. Liver values stayed fine. Ran proper cycle support throughout. The compound does what it says. It is not magic and it does not replace hard training and diet, but it amplifies everything you are already doing correctly. PCT brought things back to baseline within 4-6 weeks.
