Ortrexyl (Methyltrienolone)

Ortrexyl (Methyltrienolone) is one of the strongest oral anabolic steroids ever produced. This agent is a derivative of trenbolone (trienolone), which has been c-17 alpha alkylated to allow for oral administration. This modification has created a steroid that is significantly stronger than its nonmethylated cousin. Its potency has been measured to be anywhere from 120-300 times greater than that of methyltestosterone, with greater dissociation between anabolic and androgenic effects. Milligram for milligram methyltrienolone is a more active steroid than any agent sold on the commercial market, requiring doses as little as .5-1 milligram per day to notice a strong anabolic effect. Its potency is only matched by its relative toxicity, however, which has limited its modern use to that of laboratory research only. Methyltrienolone is a modified form of nandrolone. It differs by: 1) the addition of a methyl group at carbon 17- alpha to protect the hormone during oral administration and 2) the introduction of double bonds at carbons 9 and 11, which increases its binding affinity and slows its metabolism. The resulting steroid is significantly more potent than its nandrolone base, and displays a much longer half-life and lower affinity for serum-binding proteins in comparison. Methyltrienolone chemically differs from trenbolone only by the addition of a methyl group at c-17. This alteration changes the activity of methyltrienolone considerably, however, such that this agent should not simply be considered an oral form of trenbolone.

Administration (General):

Studies have shown that taking an oral anabolic steroid with food may decrease its bioavailability.This is caused by the fat-soluble nature of steroid hormones, which can allow some of the drug to dissolve with undigested dietary fat, reducing its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. For maximum utilization, methyltrienolone should be taken on an empty stomach.

Administration (Men):

Methyltrienolone is no longer used in clinical medicine due to an unacceptable level of hepatotoxicity. This agent is generally not recommended for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes for the same reason. Those absolutely insisting on its use need to take its level of liver toxicity very seriously. At the very least, routine blood tests should be conducted to ensure the agent is not imparting damage. Drug duration should also be very limited, preferably to 4 weeks of use or less. The relative potency of methyltrienolone is extremely high, requiring doses as little as .5 milligram per day. Its effective and tolerable range is usually considered to be .5 to 2mg per day. Dianabol-type doses of 20-30 mg daily are completely unthinkable, and should never be attempted. Again, this is an extremely toxic steroid, and all good advice would say to avoid it. Any one of the many commercially available steroids would be much safer choices.

Administration (Women):

Methyltrienolone is no longer used in clinical medicine due to an unacceptable level of hepatotoxicity. This agent is not recommended for women for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes due to its extremely strong toxicity and tendency to produce virilizing side effects. Availability: Methyltrienolone is not produced as a prescription steroid product in any part of the world. With the rapid expansion of underground steroid manufacturers, this agent has been released as a black market designer compound. Those contemplating the use of underground forms of methyltrienolone should consider that such agents are being released for human use without any government approval or consideration to its safety.
