Bolasterone BOL

A very strong steroid pill that drug companies briefly explored in the 1960s before pulling it due to liver damage concerns. Historical use showed it really did build muscle, but it also raised liver-enzyme levels significantly, and it's banned in sports today.

Also known as Myagen, Bolasterona, Bolasteronum, U-19763, 7alpha,17alpha-Dimethyltestosterone, T7ZM08F7FU, 7alpha,17-Dimethyltestosterone, RefChem:569796
