Masteron is a powerful anabolic/androgenic steroid derived from DHT that was designed to fight certain forms of breast cancer. It is used by bodybuilders as a bulking and cutting agent, as well as an ancillary drug to combat estrogenic side effects like water-retention. Its toxicity to the liver is very low, although side effects such as acne, hair loss and prostrate enlargement are common. Masteron is one of those steroids that has a bit of mystique behind it as it is both commonly overrated as well as underrated depending on the circle in-which you travel. Drostanolone-Propionate or better known by its trade name “Masteron” is a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derived anabolic steroid with the Propionate ester attached made existing by the addition of the 2a-methyl group (2a-methyl-dihydro-testosterone propionate.) Developed to treat breast cancer Masteron-Propionate is one of the more effective medications for this purpose, especially when coupled with Tamoxifen-Citrate (Nolvadex) and this alone gives the steroid a bit of a unique nature.
