Anadrol - Oxymetholone

Steroid Profiles - Anadrol - Oxymetholone

This is an oral, methylated (17-alpha-alkylated) steroid that is both highly androgenic as well as highly anabolic. Some novice users report weight gains of up to a pound per day fpor the first 3 weeks of administration, as well as incredible strength gains. Neither is uncommon among first-time steroid users, and this type of weight gain makes Anadrol one of the most highly coveted drugs for off season mass-building cycles. Aggressiveness often increases dramatically on this compound, and that may be due to the elevation in androgen levels it provides, it's effects on the central nervous system, and it being derived from DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which anecdotally seems to make athletes much more agressive. This last effect is often seen by the media as a negative side effect, but in a hard training (and emotionally stable) athlete, this aggressiveness often manifests itself as a stronger drive in the gym and results in more strength gained, and ultimately, more weight. Unfortunately, users of this drug also experience the negative aspects of DHT which can include excessive water retention, acne, and hairloss.
Anadrol 50 tablets by British Dragon Many people consider Anadrol a dangerous compound, but this isn't necessarily so. Anadrol was originally produced in a whopping 50mg pill, so you don't need to take many of them to get a very high dose of Oxymetholone (the drug in Anadrol). Compare this dose to Anavar which is produced in a 2.5mg pill, or Dianabol which was produced in a 5mg pill, and you'll see why Anadrol has such a reputation for being powerful. One tab is has as many milligrams as 20 of the original Anavar tabs or 20 of the original Dianabol tabs! On a milligram for milligram basis, Anadrol is no more dangerous than most oral steroids out there. You just have to remember that you get 50mgs in each tablet, and adjust your dose accordingly. Occasionally people using Anadrol get flu-like-symptoms or a headache. I personally get both, but the headache is much worse (it is probably from my bloodpressure elevating quickly). Alot of the horror stories you hear about steroids is from people abusing this one in particulat. Chris Duffy ( a now retired IFBB professional) claimed to use ten of them every day. It's no wonder that it has been linked to prostate and liver cancer, liver disease, thyroid dysfunction, leukemia, and heart disorders, and even hepatic comas. Again, this is a powerful drug, and not to be taken lightly, but is no more dangerous than many others. It will also raise your hematocrit, and commesurately your blood pressure. to where clotting time may become an issue. Since Anadrol is derived from DHT, it can cause issues in DHT-sensitivce target tissure like the scalp, prostate, and sebaceous glands. It can also cause suppression of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis, resulting in a low sperm count, and a lowering of Leutenizing hormone, which is what signals your testes to secrete testosterone. Anadrol therapy, therefore, will lower your testosterone levels.

Women generally steer clear of Anadrol, because of it's possible virilizing effects, including clitoral enlargement, facial hair growth, deeper voice, and missed periods..
Oxymetholone is infamous for negatively effecting liver function and increasing markers of that such as SGPT and SGOT enzymes (and others) which are all hepatic indicators (indicators of liver dysfunction). Jaundice (a yellowing of the whites of the eyes and finger nails) can even occur from extended Anadrol use. As previously stated, Anadrol is a derivative of DHT, which is itself a 5-alpha-reduced version of testosterone. Some androl users have reported gyno from its use but this is unlikely to be a result of anadrol (which doesn't convert to estrogen, nor DHT, nor can it stimulate the progesterone receptor). Users of Anadrol who experience gynocomastia (the of breast tissue by males) have probably developed this condition as a result of the concurrent use of another steroid along with their Anadrol. Oxymetholone also causes edema (water retention) which could possibly be due to enhanced retention, which often causes a smoothe appearance to muscles.

Andarol'is medical use is (as with most steroids) to treat low red blood cell production, which often manifests itself as aenemia. Therefore, during administration of Anadrol, red blood cell count is increased greatly. For the hard-training athlete, this is a great benefit bnecause it meant that there is more oxygen transported to the muscles, resulting in both an incredible muscle pump as well as increased ability to do multiple sets with very heavy weights. The time needed between sets, and ability to do more sets per workout are both increased, and a reduced need for off-days from the gym is often seen as well. This increased work capacity contributes to the athlete being able to do a great deal more productive weight training sessions per cycle, and this of course contributes to their gains immeasurably.

Advanced bodybuilders and power lifters have reported excellent results with 50-200 mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's very often the drug of choice for athletes attempting to move up a weight class in bodybuilding or powerlifting. Although myself and many others have used Anadrol alone, it's not very common to do so, and it's generally stacked with something like Testosterone, and Deca Durabolin or Equipoise. By stacking it with highly anabolic compounds like them, more high quality gains are generally seen, and less of the watery/bloated look is experienced.

Muscle-bound Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone was fined yesterday for bringing illegal human growth hormones

SYDNEY: Muscle-bound Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone was fined yesterday for bringing illegal human growth hormones that he said made him “feel and look good” into Australia.The 60-year-old star of the blockbuster Rocky boxing movies had faced a maximum fine of A$22,000, but the magistrate ordered him to pay just A$2,975 (US$2,452) because the actor had shown remorse.But Deputy Chief Magistrate Paul Cloran also ordered Stallone, who was not in the Sydney court where he was sentenced, to pay the prosecution costs of A$10,000, taking his total bill to just under A$13,000.Stallone last week apologised to the court for bringing 52 vials of a banned human growth hormone and testosterone, a male hormone used to improve muscle mass, into Australia when he came here to promote his latest Rocky movie.“There is no suggestion that the substances were being used for anything other than cosmetic or therapeutic purposes,” Cloran said.“Mr Stallone made an error of judgment and he has now done all he can to remedy the situation. He has shown contrition. He has expressed his remorse.”But Stallone, in an interview recorded in Hollywood at the weekend, suggested he had only pleaded guilty and accepted a conviction last week in order to make the case go away.“I didn’t do anything illegally but they have rules down there,” Stallone said in an interview with Australia’s Channel Nine. “Literally, I didn’t want to sit around and fight it so sometimes you just go, ‘fine, whatever you say’.”The one-time ‘Italian Stallion’ said earlier in documents he had been taking the substances under medical supervision for years to treat a medical condition, which was not revealed in court, and did not know they were illegal.But the magistrate said Stallone had failed to prove he had a valid prescription for the human growth hormone, Jintropin, which was found in his luggage at Sydney airport.Jintropin is not legally available for retail use in the US and therefore could not have been prescribed, the magistrate said, also referring to an interview the actor had with Australian customs officers.During that encounter, Stallone told officers that as one got older, the pituitary gland slowed, making one feel older. “This stuff gives your body a boost and you feel and look good,” Stallone said. “Doing Rambo is hard work and I am going to be in Burma (Myanmar) for a while. Where do you think I am going to get this stuff in Burma?”“I will not be without these. I cannot be without these.” Human growth hormone occurs naturally but can also be made in synthetic form to boost muscle mass.Stallone last week pleaded guilty to importing the banned growth hormone, but said in a written statement he had made a “terrible mistake.”“Never ever was it my intention to breach the laws and I realise that I should have properly informed myself about your customs,” Stallone said.His lawyer said Stallone, who shot to global fame in the 1976 movie Rocky, had been ignorant of Australian law and was “extremely mortified” over the incident that overshadowed the launch of his latest film here.But prosecutor John Agius told the court that the Hollywood icon had tried to “cover up” the fact that he had not declared four vials of testosterone by throwing them out of his hotel window as police arrived to search his room.Cloran said while Stallone had tried to deceive customs officers about the hormone, he had shown contrition.Stallone was just 29 when he made Rocky, which took in nearly US$450mn at the worldwide box office, but was twice that age last year when he made Rocky Balboa, the sixth film in the series.“Just because people get older doesn’t mean they abandon their dream or their ability to want to do something, so Rocky is symbolic of still wanting to participate,” Stallone told reporters recently. – AFP

Deca-Durabolin® is the Organon brand name for the injectable steroid nandrolone decanoate. This compound came around early in the wave of commercial steroid development, first being made available as a prescription medication in 1962.

World wide "Deca" is one of the most widely used anabolic steroids. Its popularity is due to the simple fact that it exhibits many very favorable properties. Structurally nandrolone is very similar to testosterone, although it lacks a carbon atom at the 19th position (hence its other name 19-nortestosterone). The resulting structure is a steroid that exhibits much weaker androgenic properties than testosterone. Of primary interest is the fact that nandrolone will not break down to a more potent metabolite in androgen target tissues. You may remember this is a significant problem with testosterone. Although nandrolone does undergo reduction via the same (5-alpha reductase) enzyme that produces DHT from testosterone, the result in this case is dihydronandrolone. This metabolite is weaker than the parent nandroloness, and is far less likely to cause unwanted androgenic side effects. Strong occurrences of oily skin, acne, body/facial hair growth and hair loss occur very rarely. It is however possible for androgenic activity to become apparent with this as any steroid, but with nandrolone higher than normal doses are usually responsible.

Nandrolone also show an extremely lower tendency for estrogen conversion. For comparison, the rate has been estimated to be only about 20% of that seen with testosterones. This is because while the liver can convert nandrolone to estradiol, in other more active sites of steroid aromatization such as adipose tissue nandrolone is far less open to this process'. Consequently estrogen related side effects are a much lower concern with this drug. An anti-estrogen is likewise rarely needed with Deca, gynecomastia only a worry among sensitive individuals. At the same time water retention is not a usual concern. This effect can occur however, but is most often related to higher dosages. The addition of Proviron and/or Nolvadex should prove sufficient enough to significantly reduce any occurrence. Clearly Deca is a very safe choice among steroids. Actually, many consider it to be the best overall steroid for a man to use when weighing the side effects and results. It should also be noted that in HIV studies, Deca has been shown not only to be effective at safely bringing up the lean body weight of patient, but also to be beneficial to the immune system.

It is of note however that nandrolone is believed to have some activity as a progestin in the body. Although progesterone is a c-19 steroid, removal of this group as in 19-norprogesterone creates a hormone with greater binding affinity for its corresponding receptor. Sharing this trait, many 19-nor anabolic steroids are shown to have some affinity for the progesterone receptor as well. This can lead to some progestin-like activity in the body, and may intensify related side effects. The side effects associated with progesterone are actually quite similar to those of estrogen, including negative feedback inhibition of testosterone production, enhanced rate of fat storage and possibly gynecomastia. Many believe the progestin activity of Deca notably contributes to suppression of testosterone synthesis, which can be marked despite a low tendency for estrogen conversion.

Deca is not known as a very "fast" builder. The muscle building effect of this drug is quite noticeable, but not dramatic. The slow onset and mild properties of this steroid therefore make it more suited for cycles with a longer duration. In general one can expect to gain muscle weight at about half the rate of that with an equal amount of testosterone. A cycle lasting eight to twelve weeks seems to make the most sense, expecting to elicit a slow, even gain of quality mass. Although active in the body for much longer, Deca is usually injected once or twice per week. The dosage for men is usually in the range of 300-600mg/week. If looking to be specific, it is believed that Deca will exhibit its optimal effect (best gain/side effect ratio) at around 2mg per pound of lean bodyweight/weekly. Deca is also a popular steroid among female bodybuilders. They take a much lower dosage on average than men of course, usually around 50mg weekly. Although only slightly androgenic, women are occasionally confronted with virilization symptoms when taking this compound. Should this become a concern, the shorter acting nandrolone Durabolin would be a safer option. This drug stays active for only a few days, greatly reducing the impact of androgenic buildup if withdrawal were indicated.

Endogenous testosterone levels can be a concern with Deca-Durabolin, especially after long cycles. It is therefore mandatory to incorporate ancillary drugs at the conclusion of therapy. An estrogen antagonist such as Clomid or Nolvadex is therefore commonly used for a few weeks. These both provide a good level of testosterone stimulation, although they may take a couple of weeks to show the best effect. HCG injections could be added for extra reassurance, acting to rapidly restore the normal ability of the testes to respond to the resumed release of gonadotropins. For this purpose one could administer three injections of 2500-50001.U., spaced five days apart. After which point the antagonist is continued alone for a few more weeks in an effort to stabilize the production of testosterone. Remember not to begin post cycle therapy (PCT) until after Deca has been withdrawn for around three weeks. Deca stays active for quite some time so the ancillary drugs will not be able to exhibit their optimal effect when the steroid is still being released into the bloodstream. The major drawback for competitive purposes is that in many cases nandrolone metabolites will be detectable in a drug screen for up to a year (or more) after use. This is clearly due to the form of administration. Esterified compounds have a high affinity to stay stored in fatty tissues. While we can accurately estimate the time frame it will take for a given dose to enter circulation from an injection site, we cannot know for sure that 100% of the steroid will have been metabolized at any given point. Small amounts may indeed be stubborn in leaving fatty tissue, particularly after heavy, longer-term use. Some quantity of nandrolone decanoate may therefore be left to sporadically enter into the blood stream many months after use. This process may be further aggravated when dieting for a show, a time when body fat stores are being actively depleted (possibly freeing more steroid). This has no doubt been the cause for many unexpected positives on a drug screen. The fact that nandrolone has been isolated as the "hands-off" injectable for the drug tested athlete is most likely due to its popularity (and therefore common appearance on drug screens). The same risk would of course hold true for other long chain esterified injectables such as Equipoise, and Primobolan.

Those not worried about drug screens are likely to find the low water retention and good effect of this drug favorable for use in pre-contest cutting stacks. A combination of Deca and Winstrol during the weeks/months leading up to a show for example, is noted to greatly enhance to look of muscularity and definition. A strong non-aromatizing androgen like Halotestin or trenbolone could be further added, providing an enhanced level of hardness and density to the muscles. Being an acceptable anabolic, Deca can also be incorporated into bulk cycles with good results. The classic Deca and Dianabol cycle has been a basic for decades, and always seems to provide excellent muscle growth. A stronger androgen such as Anadrol or testosterone could also be substituted, producing greater results. When mixed with Deca, the androgen dosage can be kept lower than if used alone, hopefully making the cycle more comfortable. Additionally one may choose to continue Deca for a number of few weeks after the androgen has been stopped. This will hopefully harden up some of the bloat produced by the androgen, giving a more quality appearance. Remember that endogenous testosterone production will not resume during Deca therapy, and ancillaries are likewise still needed.

Winstrol (stanozolol)

Winstrol (stanozolol) Winstrol (stanozolol) Quick overview:
Active Life: around 48 hours
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (for injection or oral)
Average Dose: Men 50-100 mg/day.....Women 25-50 mg/week
Acne: Rare
Water Retention: Rare
High Blood Pressure: Rare
Liver Toxic: Yes, it is a 17AA steroid
Aromatization: No, it is a DHT derivative
DHT Conversion: None
Decrease HPTA function: Low Winstrol is a popular brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. This compound is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, although its activity is much milder than this androgen in nature. It is technically classified as an anabolic steroid, shown to exhibit a slightly greater tendency for muscle growth than androgenic activity in early studies. While dihydrotestosterone really only provides androgenic side effects when administered, stanozolol instead provides quality muscle growth. The anabolic properties of this substance are still mild in comparison to many stronger compounds, but it is still a ggod, reliable builder of muscle. Its anabolic properties could even be comparable to Dianabol, but Winstrol does not have the same tendency for water retention. Stanozolol also contains the same c17 methylation we see with Dianabol, an alteration used so that oral administration is possible. To spite this design however, there are many injectable versions of this steroid produced.
Since stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen, an anti-estrogen is not necessary when using this steroid, gynecomastia is not a concern even among the most sensitive individuals. Since estrogen is also the cause of water retention, instead of bulk look, Winstrol produces a lean, quality look with no fear of excess subcutaneous fluid retention. This makes it a great steroid to use during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern. It is also very popular among athletes in combination strength/speed sports such as Track and Field.
The usual dosage for men is 35-75mg per day for the tablets and 25-50mg per day with the injectable version. It is often combined with other steroids depending on the desired result. For bulking purposes, a stronger androgen like testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol is usually added. Here Winstrol will balance out the cycle a bit, giving us good anabolic effect with lower overall estrogenic activity than if taking such steroids alone. The result should be a considerable gain in new muscle mass, with a more comfortable level of water and fat retention. For cutting phases Winstrol can be combined with a non-aromatizing androgen such as trenbolone or Halotestin. Such combinations should help bring about the strongly defined, hard look of muscularity so sought after among bodybuilders. Older, more sensitive individuals can add compounds like Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise when wishing to stack this steroid. Here they should see good results and fewer side effects than with standard androgen therapies. Women usually take around 5-10mg daily. Although female athletes usually find stanozolol very tolerable, the injectable version is usually off limits.
With the structural (c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher level of stress on the liver than the injectable (which avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher dosed cycles, liver values should therefore be watched closely through regular blood work. Although less common, there is still a possibility of liver damage occuring with the injectable form. While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous) level of stress. Such stress would of course be increased with the addition of other c17-AA oral compounds to a cycle of Winstrol. When using such combinations, cautious users would make every effort to limit the length of the cycle (preferably 6 to 8 weeks) and take some form of liver protectants. It should also be noted that both versions of Winstrol have been linked to strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL cholesterol levels. This side effect is common with anabolic steroid therapy, and obviously can become a health concern as the dose/duration of intake increase above normal. The oral version should have a greater impact on cholesterol values than the injectable due to the method of administration, and may therefore be the worse choice of the two for those concerned and this side effect.
The oral use of stanozolol can also have a profound impact on levels of SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). This is a characteristic of all anabolic/androgenic steroids, however its potency and form of administration make Winstrol particularly noteworthy in this regard. Since plasma binding proteins such as SHBG act to temporarily constrain steroid hormones from exerting activity, this effect would provide a greater percentage of free (unbound) steroid hormone in the body. This may amount to an effective mechanism in which stanozolol could increase the potency of a concurrently used steroid. To further this purpose one could also addition Proviron, which has an extremely high affinity for SHBG. This affinity may cause Proviron to displace other weaker substrates for SHBG (such as testosterone), another mechanism in which the free hormone level may be increased. Adding Winstrol and Proviron to your next testosterone cycle may therefore prove very useful,, markedly enhancing the free state of this potent muscle building androgen.

Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate)

Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate)


Quick overview:


Active Life: 14-16 days
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (for injection)
Average Dose: Men 400-600 mg/week......Women 50-150 mg/week
Acne: Rare
Water Retention: Low
High Blood Pressure: Rare
Liver Toxic: No
Aromatization: Some, about 50% less than testosterone

Equipoise® is the popular brand name for the veterinary injectable steroid boldenone undecylenate. It is a derivative of testosterone, which exhibits strong anabolic and moderately androgenic properties. The undecylenate ester greatly extends the activity of the drug (the undecylenate ester is only one carbon atom longer than decanoate), so that clinically injections would need to be repeated every three or four weeks. In the veterinary feild Equipoise is most commonly used on horses, exhibiting a pronounced effect on lean bodyweight, appetite and general disposition of the animal. As with all steroids, this compound shows a marked ability for increasing red blood cell production. In recent years this compound has become a favorite among athletes. Many consider it an ideal replacement to Deca-Durabolin.

The side effects of Equipoise are generally mild. The structure of boldenone does allow it to convert into estrogen, but it does not have an extremely high affinity to do so. If we look at aromatization studies, they suggest that its rate of estrogen conversion should be about half that of testosterone's. Water retention with this drug would therefore be slightly higher than that with Deca-Durabolin (with an estimated 20% conversion), but much less than we would find with a stronger compound as Testosterone. While there is still a chance of encountering an estrogen related side effect as such when using Equipoise, problems are usually not encountered at a moderate dosage level. Gynecomastia might become a problem, but usually only with very sensitive individuals or (again) with those using higher dosages. If estrogenic effects become a problem, the addition of Nolvadex should of course make the cycle more tolerable. An anti-aromatase such as Arimidex, Femara, or Amonasin would be a stronger option, however probably not necessary with such a mild drug.

Although typically dosage related, Equipoise can also produce distinct androgenic side effects. Oily skin, acne, increased aggression and hair loss are all possible with this compound. Women find this drug quite comfortable, virilization symptoms usually unheard of when taken at low doses. Boldenone does reduce to a more potent androgen (dihydroboldenone) via the 5alpha reductase enzyme (which produces DHT from testosterone), however its affinity for this interaction in the human body is low to nonexistent. Therefore the reductase inhibitor Proscar would not be of much use with Equipoise, as it would be blocking what is at best an insignificant path of metabolism for the steroid. Although this drug is relatively mild, it still has a depressive effect on endogenous testosterone levels, therefore a proper post cycle therapy HCG and Clomid/Nolvadex is needed at the conclusion of each cycle to avoid a "crash". A waiting time of around 3 weeks is required before starting PCT, enabling enough of the drug to clear one's system to make PCT effective.

In order to maintain stable blood levels, Equipoise should be injected at least once per week. It is most commonly used at a dosage of 400-600mg per week for men, 50-150 mg per week for women.

Equipoise is not a rapid mass builder, but will provide a slow but steady gain of strength and quality muscle mass. The most positive effects of this drug are seen when it is used for longer cycles, usually lasting at least 10 weeks in length. The muscle gained should not be the smooth bulk seen with androgens, but instead a very defined and solid look. Since water bloat is not contributing greatly to the diameter of the muscle, much of the size gained on a cycle of Equipoise can be retained after the drug has been discontinued. It is interesting to note that structurally Equipoise and the classic bulking drug Dianabol are almost identical. In the case of Equipoise the compound uses a l7beta ester (undecylenate), while Dianabol is 17 alpha alkylated. Aside from that difference, the drugs are basically the same. Of course they act quite differently in the body, which goes to show the 17-methylation effects more than just the oral efficancy of a steroid.

As discussed earlier, Equipoise is a very versatile compound. We can create a number of drug combinations with it depending on the desired result. For mass, one may want to stack it with Anadrol or an injectable testosterone. The result should be an incredible gain of muscle size and strength, without the same intensity of side effects if using the androgen (at a higher dose) alone. When used in a cutting cycle, muscle hardness and density can be greatly improved when combining Equipoise with a non-aromatizable steroid such as trenbolone acetate, Halotestin, or Winstrol. For some however, even the low buildup of estrogen associated with this compound is enough to relegate its use to bulking cycles only.

Equipoise is not an ideal steroid for the drug tested athlete however. This drug has the tendency to produce detectable metabolites in the urine months after use, a worry most commonly associated with Deca-Durabolin. This is of course due to the high oil solubility of long chain esterified injectable steroids, a property which enables the drug to remain deposited in fatty tissues for extended periods of time. While this will reliably slow the release of steroid into the blood stream, it also allows small residual amounts to remain present in the body far after the initial injection. The release of stubborn stores of hormone would no doubt also be enhanced around contest time, a period when the athlete drastically attempts to mobilize unwanted body fat. If enough were used in the off-season, the athlete may actually fail a drug screen for boldenone although many months may have past since the drug was last injected.

Dianabol

Dianabol is one of the most highly effective mass building steroids ever created. It was, in fact, created specifically for athletes to use to improve performance (although it was claimed to have theraputic ability). It provideds highly impressive weight and strength gains for most users. Experiencing a 2-3kg weight gain per week is not unheard of, especially in novices. It must be noted that alot if this is water weight, and that with higher dosages gynecomastia (bitch tits), high blood pressure, and acne could occur. Dianabol (Methandrostenlone) when taken orally becomes active very rapidly, but only remains active for less than half a day. Often, for this reason, dosages were spread through the day. Ciba, the original makers of Dianabol claimed that 10 mgs of the product was enough for full androgen replacement in a man, and this dose increased androgen anabolic activity roughly 5 times over normal and provided a reduction in natural cortisol activity of between 50-70%. Despite this, many athletes take 50-100mgs daily. It would appear that over 50mgs/day, there is a point of diminishing return.
Dianabol is most commonly found in tablet form Since Dianabol (often called D-bol by athletes) is a 17aa compound, side effects such as increased liver values (toxicity) are to be expected, although they generally return to normal quickly after the athlete stops taking the product. In addition, as previously noted, gyno, heavy water retention (and raised blood pressure as a result), and acne were all commonly reported side effects of D-bol use. Interestingly, some users note a sense of well being during use of this drug, which is quite pronounced. This is the exact opposite of Anadrol, which is noted for an "unwell" feeling in users.
This product is also available in an injectable form from both British Dragon (in oil) as well as under the Reforvit-B name (which has the addition of B vitamins) which is suspended in water and is quite frankly a very painful injection, and not often used for this reason.
