Epistane (Epi) is a DHT (dihydrotestosterone) derivative that is similar to epitiostanol,it is an oral active anti-estrogenic dry compound that will aid users in adding lean muscle mass as well as cutting fat.Epistane has an additional single methyl group, which helps it give a much stronger anabolic release, but does cause less damage to the liver than most methylated compounds thus allowing for slightly longer cycles (4-6 weeks). As a matter of fact, on paper it has a 1100:91 anabolic to androgenic rating. Thanks to its DHT structure,Epistane does not aromatize and is non-progestagenic, it may also reduce estrogen while on cycle,so you will not need an anti-aromatase while on cycle with Epistane. This basically means that while on Epistane, estrogen related side effects like gyno and progesterone related side effects like sensitive breast tissue are virtually non-existent. Users will experience little to no side effects while on Epistane, making it an ideal beginner prohormone.
Interestingly, epistane is very comparable to winstrol and turinabol in that it will not increase water retention at all. So the user should not expect to put on water weight on it, and if your goal is mass and moving the scale up, you will probably be disappointed with your results when taking epistane. Strength trainers can enjoy strength gains, but it would be wise to stack epi with some other wet compound like dianabol, which would help sustain strength gains.
Furthermore, since oestrogen is the main culprit for water retention, bloat and fat gain the anti-oestrogenic effect from. Epi means it is a prohormone which offers a high quality look to the physique. Thus Epi is a very favourable prohormone to use during cutting phases with a calorie restricted diet. However, Epistane is also noted to greatly increase the rate of protein synthesis and adds to strength gains which means it can equally be used to add lean muscle mass without the addition of unwanted fat and subcutaneous fluid retention. Epistane is an extremely versatile prohormone suitable for both bulking cycles and cutting cycles.Generally Epistane is reserved for cutting cycles but it is strong enough to be used in bulking cycles.
Epistane Side Effects
Epistane is liver toxic, but not as much as other prohormones. Furthermore, assuming that you are getting real epistane, it should not cause any estrogenic or progesterone side effects. Therefore, the main complaints from some individuals are related to its DHT properties that can affect head hair, dry joints, and cause painful pumps.
Epistane Dosage
A starting dosage is 30 milligrams (mg), and it can go up to 60mg per day in split dosages. Epistane has a 6 hour half life, and since it is harsh on the liver, you should limit the cycle duration to 6 weeks.
