Testosterone Cypionate is nearly identical to Testosterone Enanthate but with a slightly longer half-life of approximately 8 days due to the longer cypionate ester chain. It is the most commonly prescribed testosterone ester for TRT in North America, making Canadian physician-monitored protocols frequently TC-based. Twice-weekly injections are preferred for stable blood levels in bodybuilding contexts. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Testosterone Propionate is a short-ester testosterone with a 2–3 day half-life requiring every-other-day or daily injections. It provides faster blood level stabilization than long esters, making it ideal for cutting cycles where stable lean levels are required. Its short half-life also means PCT can begin as soon as 3 days after the last injection, making recovery faster. More frequent injections reduce water retention compared to long esters. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Sustanon 250 is a four-ester testosterone blend: propionate (30mg), phenylpropionate (60mg), isocaproate (60mg), and decanoate (100mg). The design provides both immediate and sustained testosterone release from a single injection. Propionate and phenylpropionate kick in rapidly within 24–48 hours while isocaproate and decanoate provide sustained levels over 2–3 weeks. Due to the mixed esters, injection frequency should be every 3 days or twice weekly to maintain stable blood levels. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Trenbolone Enanthate is the long-ester version of trenbolone, providing the same potent anabolic and androgenic effects (rating 500:500) as Tren Acetate but with a 7–10 day half-life allowing twice-weekly injections instead of every-other-day. The longer ester means slower onset and slower clearance — if side effects occur they take longer to dissipate than with Tren Acetate. Preferred by experienced users who have already confirmed tolerance to trenbolone via shorter-ester trials. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate) is a 19-nortestosterone derivative with a favorable anabolic-to-androgenic ratio of 125:37. Used medically since the 1960s for muscle wasting, anemia, and osteoporosis. Famous in bodybuilding as part of the classic "Arnold Stack" — Testosterone, Deca, and Dianabol. Uniquely provides measurable joint lubrication through increased synovial fluid and collagen synthesis. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

NPP (Nandrolone Phenylpropionate) is the short-ester version of Deca Durabolin, sharing the same active compound nandrolone but with a 4–5 day half-life requiring 2–3 injections per week. The shorter ester provides faster onset of action and faster clearance — making it advantageous for users who want nandrolone's joint-lubricating and anabolic effects with more control over side effects. Preferred by users who have experienced issues with Deca's long detection time or suppression duration. Available from Genetix Pharma and Accel Pharma.

Masteron (Drostanolone Propionate) is an injectable DHT derivative originally developed in 1959 and used clinically as a breast cancer treatment due to its anti-estrogenic properties. Prized for its ability to enhance muscle hardness, density, and vascularity while acting as a mild aromatase inhibitor. Best results are seen at low body fat levels (<12%) where its hardening effects become visually dramatic. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Masteron Enanthate is the long-ester version of drostanolone, offering the same anti-estrogenic, muscle hardening, and vascularity-enhancing properties as Masteron Propionate but with a longer 8–10 day half-life allowing twice-weekly injections instead of every-other-day. Preferred by users on longer cycles who want Masteron's benefits without the injection frequency of propionate. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) was originally developed as a veterinary injectable steroid for horses. It has an anabolic rating equal to testosterone (100) with roughly half the androgenic activity (50), making it notably milder in androgenic side effects. EQ is known for dramatically increasing appetite and stimulating erythropoiesis (red blood cell production), which enhances muscular endurance and vascularity. Its long 14-day half-life requires extended cycles of 12–16 weeks to fully capitalize on its gradual, lean muscle building effects. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Primobolan Depot (Methenolone Enanthate) is a DHT-derived injectable steroid renowned for producing high-quality, keepable lean muscle gains without water retention, estrogenic activity, or liver toxicity. Often called the "gold standard" of mild anabolic steroids, it was reportedly a favourite of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Despite its mild anabolic rating (88), it is highly effective at preserving muscle tissue during caloric deficits. Effective doses are higher than most other compounds, contributing to its relatively expensive cost. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Human Growth Hormone (somatropin) is a 191-amino acid peptide produced naturally by the pituitary gland that regulates body composition, muscle growth, metabolism, and cellular repair. Exogenous HGH stimulates IGF-1 production in the liver, which drives muscle protein synthesis, fat oxidation, and connective tissue repair. Effects are gradual and long-term — full benefits require 3–6+ month protocols. Does not suppress HPTA, requires no PCT, and provides unique anti-aging and injury recovery benefits unavailable from anabolic steroids. Available as 100IU per box from SteroidsCanada.ca.

TNT 400 is a pre-blended convenience vial containing 200mg/ml Testosterone Enanthate and 200mg/ml Trenbolone Enanthate in a single injection. It provides the benefits of both compounds — testosterone's foundational anabolic base combined with trenbolone's extreme anabolic potency and fat-burning properties — in fewer injections. Strictly for advanced users who have already confirmed tolerance to trenbolone via standalone tren cycles. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Dianabol (Methandienone) was the first oral anabolic steroid to achieve widespread use in sports, developed by Dr. John Ziegler with Ciba Pharmaceuticals in 1958 to aid American Olympic weightlifters. With an anabolic rating of 210 and androgenic rating of 60, it provides rapid and dramatic strength and mass gains within 2–4 weeks. Universally used as a kickstart compound alongside long-ester injectables. Estrogenic management with an AI is essential. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is a potent DHT-derived oral steroid developed in the 1960s for anemia and muscle wasting. It provides the most rapid and dramatic mass and strength gains of any oral steroid — commonly 20–30lbs within 4–6 weeks. Despite being DHT-derived it causes significant estrogenic-like effects through an unknown mechanism requiring gynecomastia management. Due to high liver toxicity, cycles must be kept to a maximum of 4–6 weeks with mandatory liver support. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Winstrol (Stanozolol) is a DHT-derived compound available in both oral and injectable form, famous for promoting muscle hardness, vascularity, and definition without water retention. Developed in 1962 by Winthrop Laboratories, it gained international notoriety when Ben Johnson tested positive at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Does not convert to estrogen. Its SHBG-reducing effect increases free testosterone when stacked with other compounds. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Turinabol (4-chlorodehydromethyltestosterone) is a modified form of Dianabol developed in East Germany in the 1960s and used secretly by the East German Olympic doping program (State Plan 14.25). It combines Dianabol's structure with Clostebol's 4-chloro modification, eliminating estrogenic activity and water retention while providing steady, keepable lean muscle gains. Produces no estrogen-related side effects, making AI unnecessary. Often described as a "cleaner Dianabol." Available from Genetix Pharma and Zionova.

Superdrol (Methasterone / Methyldrostanolone) is an extremely potent oral anabolic steroid with an anabolic rating of 400 and androgenic rating of just 20 — making it gram-for-gram one of the most potent orals available. Originally sold as an "over-the-counter prohormone" in the United States until 2012, it delivers rapid dry gains in lean mass and strength comparable to injectable compounds. It does not aromatize and produces no water retention but carries very high liver toxicity. Max 4-week cycles mandatory with TUDCA liver support essential throughout. Available from Zionova.

Halotestin (Fluoxymesterone) is one of the most androgenic oral steroids ever created with an androgenic rating of 850 and anabolic rating of 1900. Used primarily by powerlifters and fighters for its dramatic aggression-enhancing and raw strength-increasing properties rather than muscle mass. Does not aromatize and produces no water retention. Its extreme toxicity profile — liver, cardiovascular, and psychological — restricts it to very short 2–4 week windows, typically the final weeks before a competition or powerlifting meet. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Proviron (Mesterolone) is an oral DHT-derived androgen used clinically since the 1960s for male hypogonadism, infertility, and libido disorders. In bodybuilding it is used as an on-cycle support compound rather than a primary anabolic — it reduces SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) which increases free testosterone levels, acts as a mild aromatase inhibitor, enhances muscle hardness, and dramatically improves libido. Unlike most oral steroids it is not C17-alpha alkylated, making liver toxicity extremely low even at high doses and extended use. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Metribolone (Methyltrienolone) is the oral version of Trenbolone, created by methylating trenbolone for oral bioavailability. It carries the most extreme anabolic and androgenic ratings of any steroid — anabolic 12,000+ and androgenic 6,000+ vs testosterone's 1:1. Originally used only in research settings and never approved for human use due to its extreme hepatotoxicity. Even at microgram doses (0.5–2mg/day) it produces dramatic strength and muscle effects. Used by experienced powerlifters and bodybuilders for very short 2–4 week windows with mandatory TUDCA. Available from Zionova.

LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) is a nonsteroidal oral SARM developed by Ligand Pharmaceuticals for muscle wasting and osteoporosis. It selectively binds to androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissue with high affinity, producing anabolic effects without significant androgenic activity in non-target tissues. The first SARM to complete a Phase I human clinical trial demonstrating dose-dependent lean body mass increases at doses as low as 1mg/day. Has undergone more human clinical testing than any other SARM except ostarine. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Ostarine (MK-2866, Enobosarm, GTx-024) is the most researched SARM in existence, having completed Phase II human clinical trials. Developed by GTx Inc., it is the mildest and best-studied SARM, making it the ideal starting point for those new to selective androgen receptor modulators. Promotes lean muscle growth, preserves muscle during caloric deficit, and improves bone density with minimal suppression at low doses. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

RAD-140 (Testolone) was developed by Radius Health Inc. as a potential treatment for breast cancer and muscle wasting. It is the most potent SARM available with an anabolic-to-androgenic ratio of 90:1 versus testosterone's 1:1 — delivering near-steroid levels of muscle growth with minimal androgenic side effects. Also demonstrates neuroprotective properties in preclinical research. The 60-hour half-life allows once-daily dosing. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

MK-677 (Ibutamoren) is a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist — it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more natural growth hormone and IGF-1 orally. Unlike injectable HGH, MK-677 is oral, requires no reconstitution, and does not suppress natural GH production. A landmark 2-year RCT published in Annals of Internal Medicine confirmed MK-677 significantly increases lean body mass, reduces fat mass, and restores IGF-1 to youthful levels. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Cardarine (GW-501516) is a PPARδ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta) agonist — it is NOT technically a SARM. It was co-developed by GlaxoSmithKline and Ligand Pharmaceuticals and abandoned in Phase II trials in 2007 after causing rapid cancer development in multiple tissue types in rodents at extended doses. At shorter durations and lower doses it dramatically increases endurance by activating genes involved in fat oxidation and energy expenditure. Health Canada has issued a safety advisory regarding GW501516. Available from Zionova and Genetix Pharma.

YK-11 is unique among SARMs in that it is a steroidal compound derived from DHT that acts as both a partial androgen receptor agonist AND a myostatin inhibitor. Myostatin is the protein that limits muscle growth — inhibiting it theoretically removes the body's natural ceiling on muscle development. It is the only compound known to both activate the androgen receptor and simultaneously inhibit myostatin at the cellular level. Very limited human data exists; available research is primarily in vitro and in vivo animal models. Available from Genetix Pharma.

Andarine (S4) was developed by GTx Inc. as one of the early SARMs. It selectively binds androgen receptors in muscle and bone with high affinity, producing lean muscle gains, improved vascularity, and notable muscle hardening effects similar to Winstrol but without the joint-drying or liver toxicity. Its short half-life of 3–4 hours requires multiple daily doses. The most notable side effect is a reversible yellow/green tint to vision — particularly in low-light environments — caused by binding to retinal androgen receptors. Vision effects reverse upon discontinuation. Available from Genetix Pharma and Zionova.

Albuterol (Salbutamol) is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist originally developed as a bronchodilator for asthma. As a fat loss agent it offers several advantages over clenbuterol: its significantly shorter half-life (3–8 hours vs 35–39 hours) means its effects wear off daily, reducing receptor downregulation without the need for a 2-weeks-on/off protocol, allowing continuous use. Research also confirms it has anabolic properties through beta-2 receptor activation in skeletal muscle. Generally considered better tolerated than clenbuterol with less severe cardiac stimulant effects. Available from Zionova.

Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) developed in the 1960s for breast cancer treatment. In bodybuilding it serves two critical functions: (1) as an on-cycle estrogen blocker in breast tissue to prevent gynecomastia, and (2) as the cornerstone of Post Cycle Therapy to stimulate LH and FSH production and restore natural testosterone. It blocks estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, allowing these glands to resume signaling the testes to produce testosterone. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate) is a SARM that produces stronger LH and FSH stimulation than tamoxifen, making it a more powerful testosterone restorer during PCT. It works by blocking estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, removing estrogenic negative feedback and triggering increased LH and FSH release. Meta-analysis of 19 studies confirms it increases total testosterone by an average of +2.60 nmol/L. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Arimidex (Anastrozole) is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that blocks the aromatase enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to estradiol. Used on-cycle with aromatizing steroids (testosterone, Dianabol, Deca) to prevent estrogen-related side effects. At 1mg/day it reduces circulating estrogen by approximately 50% in men. Dosing must be guided by E2 bloodwork to avoid crashing estrogen — which causes joint pain, low libido, depression, and fatigue. Available from Genetix Pharma and Accel Pharma.

Aromasin (Exemestane) is a steroidal, irreversible "suicide" aromatase inhibitor — it permanently deactivates the aromatase enzyme it binds to, making rebound estrogen impossible after stopping. Unlike non-steroidal AIs (Arimidex, Letrozole), Aromasin is derived from androstenedione and has mild androgenic properties that do not reduce IGF-1. Crucially, it does NOT interfere with SERMs like Nolvadex, making it the preferred AI for use during PCT when estrogen control is still needed alongside a SERM. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Letrozole is the most potent aromatase inhibitor available, capable of suppressing estrogen by up to 98% at standard doses. Due to this extreme potency it is generally not the first choice for routine on-cycle AI use — instead it is reserved for: (1) reversing existing gynecomastia, (2) very high-dose cycles where anastrozole is insufficient, and (3) situations where rapid estrogen reduction is needed. Requires careful bloodwork management to avoid severely crashed estrogen. Available from Accel Pharma.

HCG mimics LH (luteinizing hormone), stimulating the Leydig cells of the testes to produce testosterone directly — bypassing the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. During steroid cycles the testes stop receiving LH signals causing testicular atrophy and reduced intratesticular testosterone. Low-dose HCG during the cycle prevents this. A pre-PCT blast of 2 weeks before starting Nolvadex/Clomid jumpstarts testicular function making SERM-based PCT significantly more effective. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Cabergoline is a dopamine D2 receptor agonist used clinically to treat hyperprolactinemia and Parkinson's disease. In bodybuilding it is used to control prolactin elevation caused by 19-nortestosterone derivatives (Trenbolone, Deca Durabolin, NPP). Elevated prolactin from these compounds causes erectile dysfunction ("Deca Dick"), gynecomastia (progesterone-related), and reduced libido. Cabergoline suppresses prolactin production from the pituitary with a long 63-69 hour half-life allowing twice-weekly dosing. Essential on any cycle containing Trenbolone or Nandrolone. Note: Cabergoline products must be sourced or requested — contact us for availability.

Accutane (Isotretinoin) is an oral retinoid (Vitamin A derivative) that is the most effective acne treatment ever developed. It works by shrinking sebaceous glands by up to 90%, dramatically reducing sebum production and eliminating the conditions that allow acne bacteria to proliferate. Steroid-induced acne — particularly from androgenic compounds like testosterone, Trenbolone, and DHT derivatives — is frequently severe and does not respond to topical treatments. Isotretinoin is the definitive solution. Available from Zionova (20mg tablets).

Clenbuterol is a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist originally developed as a bronchodilator for asthma. At therapeutic doses it increases metabolic rate through thermogenesis, promotes lipolysis, suppresses appetite, and has mild anabolic effects in skeletal muscle. It is the most widely used cutting agent in bodybuilding worldwide. The 2-weeks-on, 2-weeks-off protocol is used because beta-2 receptors downregulate with continuous use. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

T3 (Liothyronine sodium / Cytomel) is the active thyroid hormone that directly regulates metabolic rate in virtually every cell in the body. Exogenous T3 dramatically increases basal metabolic rate, accelerating fat oxidation — but also increases protein catabolism, making concurrent use of anabolic steroids or SARMs essential to prevent muscle loss. It suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis during use, requiring a gradual taper off rather than abrupt cessation. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Yohimbine HCL is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist derived from the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree. It blocks alpha-2 receptors that normally prevent fat mobilization in stubborn fat areas (lower abdomen, hips, thighs), allowing norepinephrine to stimulate fat breakdown in these areas. Most effective in a fasted state as insulin blocks its mechanism. It has the most clinical evidence of any natural fat loss compound. Available from Genetix Pharma.

Sildenafil (Viagra) was developed by Pfizer and approved in 1998 as the first oral treatment for erectile dysfunction. It is a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow by blocking the enzyme that breaks down cGMP — allowing smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. In bodybuilding it is used to counteract steroid-induced erectile dysfunction (particularly common with Deca, Trenbolone) and for enhanced training pumps through improved blood flow. Available from Genetix Pharma, Zionova, and Accel Pharma.

Tadalafil (Cialis) is a PDE5 inhibitor with a 36-hour duration of action — dramatically longer than sildenafil's 4–6 hours — earning it the nickname "the weekend pill." Unlike sildenafil, food does not significantly affect its absorption. It is available in a daily low-dose format (2.5–5mg/day) providing continuous erectile readiness and the additional benefit of mild blood pressure reduction through constant vasodilation. Bodybuilding applications include counteracting steroid-induced erectile dysfunction and providing continuous muscle pump enhancement. Available from Zionova and Accel Pharma.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist that mimics the GLP-1 incretin hormone produced naturally after eating. It reduces appetite by acting on GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus, slows gastric emptying, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces glucagon secretion. The landmark STEP 1 Phase III trial demonstrated -14.9% mean body weight reduction vs -2.4% placebo over 68 weeks — the strongest weight loss efficacy data of any pharmaceutical agent in history. Available as SM5 from Accel Pharma.
