Dihydroboldenone (Dihydroboldenone (1-Testosterone / DHB))
A potent anabolic steroid (1-testosterone / DHB) that is the dihydro form of boldenone, known for strong lean mass gains with a reputation for painful injections and no estrogen conversion. Educational reference only.
How it works
DHB is boldenone with the double bond reduced, giving a highly anabolic, non-aromatizing steroid that does not convert to estrogen or DHT. It has strong androgen-receptor binding and promotes dry, lean gains.
Key facts
- Molecular weight: 288.4 Da (base)
- Half-life: Varies by ester
- Bioavailability: Intramuscular injection
- Storage: Room temperature; protect from light.
Dosing overview
- Typical dose: Lean-gain cycles (non-medical)
- Frequency: Per ester
- Duration: Cycled
- Route: Intramuscular injection
Protocol notes
- Sold in various esters (e.g. cypionate) determining injection frequency.
- Known for strong lean gains but notoriously painful injections.
- Does not aromatize, so no estrogenic bloat.
Reported benefits
- Strong lean mass gains
- No estrogen conversion
- No DHT conversion
- Dry, hard appearance
Possible side effects
- Painful injections
