Pharmacodynamics · 1 item
Boldenone has primarily anabolic activity with low androgenic potency. The drug is commonly used in doping within bodybuilding, even though this use is illegal. If intended to assist in bodybuilding, the drug is taken as part of a steroid stack of other anabolic steroids, usually with a potent androgen like testosterone as the 'base' of the stack. Boldenone is an androgen that differs from 17b-testosterone (17b-T) by only one double bond at the 1-position, and the removal of the methyl group protecting the 17-OH group allows it to be orally active.
Mechanism of ActionBoldenone is a steroid hormone which has androgenic activity. Androgens bind to the androgen receptor, which regulates gene transcription.
Biological Half-Life14 days
MeSH Pharmacological ClassificationThese compounds stimulate anabolism and inhibit catabolism. They stimulate the development of muscle mass, strength, and power.

Applications · 4 items
DescriptionBoldenone is the chemical precursor of its endecylenate ester prodrug boldenone undecylenate – which is used extensively as a steroid for animals, mainly horses and cattle, under the brand name Equipoise, among others. For this application, it is injected to improve the weight, hair coat, appetite, and general physical condition of horses affected by disease, anorexia, or overwork. It is also used as an illegal doping agent for human athletes. As a derivative of testosterone, it retains its anabolic strength, but exhibits reduced androgenic effects.
DescriptionBoldenone (Item No. 15432) is an analytical reference standard categorized as an anabolic androgenic steroid. Anabolic steroids, including boldenone, have been used to enhance physical performance in athletes. Boldenone is regulated as a Schedule III compound in the United States. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
