Norbolethone NORB

An extremely strong steroid developed decades ago but never really sold, infamous as the 'undetectable' designer steroid at the center of a major sports doping scandal. There's essentially no legitimate human research on it, and its potency implies real risk consistent with other powerful steroids.

Also known as Genabol, Norbolhetone, 13-EHDPO, U3BZU2241A, RefChem:927894, Norboletone, 797-58-0
