Balkan Pharmaceuticals has put an end to counterfeit products with their “Unique Product Identification Code” (UPIC) system. Every product produced at their government inspected, human grade production facility is given a “Unique Product Identification Code” that is never repeated on any other product. The UPIC system allows up-to date statistics on each and every product Balkan Pharmaceuticals puts their name on.

What makes the UPIC feature so special is the code can be entered at Balkan Pharmaceuticals web site to bring up important information about this individual product, such as date of production, batch number and other information about this particular product. So you are thinking a lot of companies offer this or something similar but Balkan Pharmaceuticals takes it a step further by also displaying the number of times that particular unique production identification code has been accessed online. So that means since each and every product code is unique, no one should have ever entered your unique UPIC. By giving the number of times an individual UPIC has been accessed on the company’s system, the end user can guarantee that their product is 100% genuine Balkan Pharmaceuticals.

This extra feature helps make sure counterfeiters do not take a valid product identification code and mass produce it. This is what most of the counterfeit operations do with other brands currently on the market. They take a valid identification code or batch number and mass produce it without anyone being the wiser to this since overall the batch or lot number checks out on as valid. Little do people realize that they are in fact just using a copy of a valid product. With Balkan Pharmaceuticals UPIC system and use of the latest technology on the market, the end user can be sure that their product is 100% genuine and safe to use.

The system is setup to quickly identify and warn of any suspect codes that have been accessed numerous times. So if anyone does try to make a counterfeit, Balkan Pharmaceuticals system can quickly pass along the message about counterfeit product so no one will run the risk of actually taking it.

The end user finally has the power and does not have to worry about ever taking a counterfeit product again thanks to Balkan Pharmaceuticals.

Sachets – Future of Injectables?

Posted on 13 September 2010 by admin

Anabolex Dianabol Dbol D bol Methandrostenolone Steroid

I can remember over half a decade ago, when paper anabolics first burst onto the scene. They originated in Thailand, and were in huge demand- as they still are. This raised a question in everyone.

Now, nearly half a decade later, this product has arrived on the underground scene. Before I get into that, I’m going to tell you what I won’t do. I won’t be helping customs figure out how to stop this product, or helping anyone obtain it. Everybody in the underground scene was done a great disservice a few years back when paper anabolics and a description of them appeared in a very well known steroid book, as well a major bodybuilding magazine, finally having pictures of them appearing in an obnoxious newsletter that somehow everyone in the world ended up on the mailing list for. That’s not going to happen here, I’ll assure you. Thankfully, paper anabolics are still a great way to safely receive oral anabolics; and finally there’s a way to safely receive injectables too!

The main problem with figuring out a way to safely transport injectable anabolics is how to keep them sterile, and yet still transport them in a container that will get through customs. A few manufacturers in the past (kind of) solved this issue by shipping in bottles of dubious quality and sterility, labeling them as something else. And you know what? It worked- kind of. The problem was that the bottles weren’t really sterile and once you had them, you had to transfer the oil into a sterile multi use vial, and filter it, then perhaps bake it- in order to insure that it was sterile. It was a pain in the ass, honestly, and that manufacturer eventually went out of business. So until recently, that was the end of the story.

Now, there’s something new on the underground market, which is good news to everyone who wants their injectable oils guaranteed to arrive safely. I first heard about this product about half a year ago, and now that I have the manufacturer’s permission, I’m going to tell you about it. The product is known by some people (for obvious reasons) as “Stealth Injectables” and is produced by the Natural-Oils company.

Before I go any further, let me state that the products I’m telling you about are clean, sterile, and accurately dosed. And now I’m going to tell you how this has been accomplished…

When you and I go to the store to buy something that is presumably sterile, it often comes in a multi-use container. Think about antiseptic cream (Bacitracin, Neosporin, etc…). It’s sterile, right? And it comes in a little tube, containing the sterile cream. However, when you go to the hospital (or a piercing studio, tattoo parlor, etc…any Hygienic facility), the antiseptic cream comes in single serving containers; to avoid contamination…it comes in single use sterile sachets…that’s actually more safe than the multi use containers, because there’s no risk of opening the container and then resealing it. Amps use the same technology- sealed single use containers of oil. Well, if you combine those two ideas…you’ll have an idea of what this underground manufacturer has done.

What we have here is a sachet that contains 5mls of sterile anabolic steroid oil, and can be mailed anywhere without detection:

SO all you have to do is stick a needle into the sachet, and pull out 5mls of oil and either use it, or transfer it to another sterile multi-use container. You can even pull out 1ml into 5 separate syringes, then cap and cover them for later use…whatever’s most convenient for your cycle…

So now, you can get sterile, accurately dosed sachets of anabolic oils mailed to you safely… of Deca, EQ (both at 200mgs/ml), Sustanon, Supertest (a high dosed testosterone blend), Testosterone Propionate (100mg/ml), Enanthate or Cypionate (250mgs/ml), as well as Masteron or Trenbolone Acetate (both dosed at 100mgs).

So it took a long time, but the injectable answer to paper anabolics is finally here. The quality of these products is high, as is their effectiveness- and the risk of customs seizing them is low as is their price. If you can get your hands on them, I highly recommend you try them out!

How much GH should I take and for how long?

How much GH should I take and for how long?

If you are reading this article for beginners, I presume this will be your first time using hGH so I will make all my dosage recommendations based upon that presumption. There are multiple ways to take hGH and most of them are correct, there is no one perfect way to use it. I have done every method of hGH use over the years and have found some of the best ways to use it based upon your current goals.

First recommended use is for people looking for overall health, boosted immune system, fat loss, and general sense of well being. You will also notice small increases in lean muscle mass, as well as healthier skin, hair, etc. For people looking to use hGH for this reason, I recommend 2iu per day take first thing in the morning for no less than 6 month cycles, preferably full time use. You will not need to worry about insulin insensitivity issues or down-regulation of your thyroid.

Second recommended use is for people looking to lose the maximum amount of fat while gaining the most lean mass possible. This type of cycle is great for endomorphs or anyone who generally has a hard time staying lean while bulking. For this type of use, I recommend 4-6iu per day, ½ taken in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast, and the other half dose taken immediately post workout.

The third recommend use of hGH is for athletes off season looking to gain the maximum amount of mass possible. You will gain a lot of lean mass, but also have a lot of water retention due to the dosing schedule. For this type of growth hormone cycle, you will take your weekly hGH dose and split it into three shots taken post workout. For example, a bodybuilder who normally does 4iu per day on a normal schedule, which is 28iu per week, you will take 10iu 3x per week post workout only. When using hGH in this manner you may experience increased insulin sensitivity and it is highly recommended you use exogenous insulin with your hGH. This timing schedule forces the maximum conversion to IGF-1 in the muscle as well as generates hyperplasia. You will have amazing recovery abilities, quick increases in lean mass and can cycle the use on and off in conjunction with your steroid cycles.

The fourth and final method of hGH is for competitors looking to lose the maximum amount of fat, or for any athlete looking to lean up. For this type of use, I recommend taking 4-6iu first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, about ½ hour before doing a morning session of cardio, or before your first morning meal. You will create an optimal environment for burning fat all day long. You will want to use t3/t4 in conjunction with this cycle to further aid in fat loss, as well as the down-regulation of thyroid output.

The Positive Effects of Testosterone on the Heart

Posted on 27 August 2010 by admin

Anabolex Dianabol Dbol D bol Methandrostenolone Steroid

Steroids will cause your kidneys to implode, your heart to blow a ventricle, and your liver to squirt out of your arse, fly across the room, and knock the cat off the futon. We read it on the Internet and saw an after school special about it, so it must be true, right?

Actually, the more you learn about steroids, the more you come to realize that, like all drugs, there’s a difference between their intelligent use and outright abuse. In this article, Doug Kalman takes a look at the effects of Testosterone on the heart. What he found may surprise you.

Over the years we’ve all heard the repeated mantra that anabolic steroids are bad for the heart. Some physicians will tell you that gear raises your risk of heart disease by lowering your good cholesterol (HDL) and raising your bad cholesterol (LDL). In fact, as some docs will tell you, steroids are known to even induce cardiac hypertrophy (enlargement of the heart). And since you can’t flex your heart in an effort to woo women, who’d want that?

But, as in every story, there’s more than one side. In fact, let it be said, the dangers of steroids are overstated and, hold onto your seats, may even be good for the heart. Let’s examine some of the scientific studies on the positive effects of Testosterone on the heart.

What are the cardiovascular effects of steroids?

Cardiologists at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Australia recruited both juicing and non-juicing bodybuilders for a study. Each bodybuilder had various aspects of the heart measured (carotid intima-media thickness, arterial reactivity, left ventricular dimensions, etc.). These measurements indicate whether bodybuilding, steroid usage or both affect the function, size, shape and activity of the heart.

The doctors found some obvious and not so obvious results. Predictably, those bodybuilders who used steroids were physically stronger than those who didn’t. What was surprising was that the use of steroids was not found to cause any significant changes or abnormalities of arterial structure or function.

In essence, when the bodybuilders (both groups) were compared with sedentary controls, any changes in heart function were common to bodybuilders. The take home message from this study is that bodybuilding itself can alter (not impair) arterial structure/function and that steroids do not appear to impair cardiac function. [nbcite author="Sader MA, Griffiths KA, McCredie RJ" title="Androgenic anabolic steroids and arterial structure and function in male bodybuilders" year="2001" pages="224-230" booktitle="J Am Coll Cardiol" type="booksection" ]

Does MRFIT need a T boost?

A famous cardiac study was published about 10 years ago. It soon became on ongoing study known as the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT). The present study examined changes in Testosterone over 13 years in 66 men aged 41 to 61 years. The researchers determined if changes in total Testosterone are related to cardiovascular disease risk factors.

The average Testosterone levels at the beginning of the study were 751 ng/dl and decreased by 41 ng/dl. Men who smoked or exhibited Type A behavior were found to have even greater decreases in T levels. The change in Testosterone was also associated with an increase in triglyceride levels and a decrease in the good cholesterol (HDL).

The authors concluded that decreases in Testosterone levels as observed in men over time are associated with unfavorable heart disease risk. [nbcite author="Zmuda JM, Cauley JA, Kriska A" title="Longitudinal relation between endogenous testosterone and cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle aged men" year="1997" pages="609-617" booktitle="Am J Epidemiol" type="booksection" ] Sounds to me like a good reason to get T support/replacement therapy in the middle age years!

In a similar study, researchers in Poland examined if Testosterone replacement therapy in aging men positively effected heart disease risk factors. Twenty-two men with low T levels received 200 mg of Testosterone enanthate every other week for one year. Throughout treatment, Testosterone, estradiol, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL were measured.

The researchers determined that T replacement returned both Testosterone and estradiol levels back to normal and acceptable levels. They also found that T replacement lowered cholesterol and LDL (the bad cholesterol) without altering HDL (the good cholesterol). Furthermore, there was no change in prostate function or size.

The take home message from this study is that T replacement doesn’t appear to raise heart disease risk and it may actually lower your risk. [nbcite author="Zgliczynski S, Ossowski M, Slowinska-Srednicka J" title="Effect of testosterone replacement therapy on lipids and lipoproteins in hypogonadal and elderly men" year="1996" pages="35-43" booktitle="Atherosclerosis" type="booksection" ] It appears that more physicians should be prescribing low dose Testosterone to middle age and aging men for both libido, muscle tone and for cardiac reasons.

What about younger men?

It’s been long established that men have a higher risk of heart disease. One of the risk factors implicated is Testosterone. Reportedly, the recreational use of Testosterone can alter lipoprotein levels and, in fact, case reports exist describing bodybuilders who’ve abused steroids and have experienced heart disease or even sudden death. But the question remains, is the causal association one of truth or just an association?

To answer this, researchers at the University of North Texas recruited twelve competitive bodybuilders for a comprehensive evaluation of the cardiovascular effects of steroids. Six heavyweight steroid-using bodybuilders were compared with six heavyweight drug-free bodybuilders.

As expected, the heavy steroid users had lower total cholesterol and HDL levels as compared to the drug-free athletes. What was unexpected was that the steroid users also had significantly lower LDL (the bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels as compared to the non-steroid users. In addition, the juicers also had lower apolipoprotein B levels (a marker for heart disease risk). Thus, the authors concluded that androgens do not appear to raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. [nbcite author="Diekerman RD, McConathy WJ, Zachariah NY" title="Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, lipoproteins and vascular disease risk" year="1997" pages="363-366" booktitle="J Cardiovasc Risk" type="booksection" ] The take home message from this study is that the negative cardiac side effects of steroids are most likely overstated.

In a little more progressive study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Boogie Down Bronx (the BDB to those in the know) examined Testosterone as a possible therapy for cardiovascular disease. [nbcite author="Shapiro J, Christiana J, Frishman WH" title="Testosterone and other anabolic steroids as cardiovascular drugs" year="1999" pages="167-174" booktitle="Am J Ther" type="book" ] The researchers note that T can be given in oral, injectable, pellet and transdermal delivery forms. It’s noted that injections of Testosterone (100 to 200 mg every two weeks) in men with low levels of T will decrease total cholesterol and LDL while raising the HDL.

In fact, Testosterone therapy has been found to have antianginal effects (reduces chest pain). Low levels of Testosterone are also correlated with high blood pressure, specifically high systolic pressure. The researchers determined that returning T levels back to normal and even high-normal levels have positive cardiovascular effects and should be considered as an adjunctive treatment for maintaining muscle mass when someone has congestive heart failure.

Putting it all together

Strong research demonstrates that the risks of negative cardiovascular effects of steroids are overstated. In fact, a recent paper published in the Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology questioned the whole risk of using steroids. [nbcite author="Antonio J, Street C" title="Androgen use by athletes: A reevaluation of the health risks" year="1996" pages="421-440" booktitle="Can J Appl Physiol" type="book" ]Joey Antonio, Ph.D. and Chris Street MS, CSCS published strong data showing that the risks of steroid use are largely exaggerated, much like scare tactics used by your parents while you were a kid. Of course, it goes unsaid that abuse of anything will lead to unwanted consequences.

We know that as we age, circulating Testosterone levels naturally decrease. For most people the Testosterone decrease goes from high-normal to mid to low normal. Data shows that there’s an inverse relationship between T levels and blood pressure as well as abdominal obesity (that paunch we see on so many middle age males).

Testosterone replacement lowers abdominal obesity and restores Testosterone back to normal levels. Restored Testosterone is correlated with better mood, better muscle tone, stronger sex drive, lower cardiovascular disease risks, stronger bones and better memory. It’s important to note that while conservative use gives a pronounced positive health benefit, higher doses may not necessarily lead to further health benefits.

What to do

If you see your body composition changing (your gut starts looking like your Uncle Lester’s), your strength or muscle tone diminishing despite your hard training and good diet, and your sex drive not matching up to TC’s columns, have your Testosterone levels checked. The acceptable normal range for Testosterone to physicians is 300 mg/dl to 1100 mg/dl. Yes, that’s a pretty wide range.

In the clinic, we see people with the complaints consistent with “andropause” (a term for male menopause) and/or increased cardiovascular risk having Testosterone levels between 300 mg/dl and 550 mg/dl. Bringing it up to the mid to high-normal level is what gives the health and “youthful” benefits. Traditionally 200 mg/dl of supplemental Testosterone given every one to two weeks improves body composition, lowers total cholesterol and LDL, while raising HDL.

It appears that supplemental T is a healthier and safer way to go than many of the drugs used to treat poor lipid profiles. The data presented in this article applies for males over 35, not those who are 18. If you think that you can benefit from Testosterone therapy look for physicians who market themselves as “anti-aging” or “longevity physicians” as well as the more progressive endocrinologists or cardiologists.

Long story short, used intelligently, Testosterone is good medicine!
