1 AD Side Effects and FAQ
Important Facts About This Supplement

The 1 AD side effects are not serious out of the few that have been reported. Here is a list of the potential side effects connected with using this potent androstenediol supplement.

UPDATE: Purchasing of prohormones is illegal in the U.S. as of January 20, 2005. Click here to check out an awesome prohomone alternative!

Upset Stomach - This one can be relieved by consuming the dose with a meal

Irritation while urinating - This can be avoided by making sure you drink plenty of fluids.

Lowered Libido - Although I have not personally encountered this libido problem, it can be partially avoided by stacking it with 4-Diol prohormone.

Lethargy - This 1 AD side effect can somewhat be avoided by stacking it with a 4-Diol product as well.

Skin Rash - This 1 AD side effect happens to a very small percentage of users and usually during the hot weather months

Increased Appetite - This is one of the good side effects, it’s a response to your body wanting to grow.

Insomnia - This can be partially avoided by taking your last dose earlier in the day.

Acne - this 1 AD side effect is an androgenic result. So, wash well and use a cleanser like Plexion.

Acceleration of male pattern baldness - In susceptible persons this can be a concern. For example, you just might want to be aware if this kind of thing runs in your family (genetics).

The 1 AD side effects described above are basically minimal compared to other top prohormones and anabolic steroids. That is why I cycle this product on a regular basis. Below is a great online store where you can find this product at an exceptionally cheap price.

1 AD Side Effects and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What do you mean specifically when you say that it converts to a hormone that is over 7 times as anabolic as testosterone?

1-Androstenediol converts to an isomer of testosterone known as 1-test. The anabolic potency of 1-test and testosterone were determined by the rat levator ani assay, which is the way that steroids have usually been tested for muscular anabolic activity.

In this study, testosterone was assigned a myotrophic (anabolic) potency of 26, while 1-tesosterone was given a myotrophic (anabolic) potency of 200. These values were determined by measuring the minimal doses from which significant increases in muscle weight were observed. It took over seven times less 1-test than regular test to produce the same increases in muscle weight.

To sum it up, this means that it should take much less 1-androstenediol to stimulate your muscles to grow than with a testosterone precursor like 4-androstenediol and this is without taking into consideration of its oral bioavailability advantage over traditional prohormones.

This sounds good because it doesn’t convert to estrogen, but what about conversion to DHT? Is this going to have the same negative outcome as Andro on my prostate?

While 1-testosterone can convert to DHT through an unusual pathway, the extent of that conversion is unknown. The extent of impact on the human prostate is unknown as well. According to assays on rats, prostate growth is similar to that with an equal dose of testosterone. However, this is in castrate rats that have underdeveloped prostate glands to begin with. This kind of prostate growth (developmental growth) is in no way the same thing as benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), the kind that can be damaging in humans.

Since BPH is estrogen dependent, there is a possibility that it's in fact very prostate friendly. In case you do not know, DHT given by itself can actually reduce BPH because it reduces serum estrogen (US patent# 5,648,350, Dihydrotestosterone for use in androgen therapy). The same may be true for this supplement at this point, we don't really know.

Are you saying that it is as potent as Trenbolone?

I said that its results were qualitatively similar to trenbolone. Unfortunately, I assumed that everyone understood what the term qualitative means. I meant to express that the outcome are of the same type and character as trenbolone (i.e. increased strength, increased hardness, low water retention).

This does not mean that it is just as potent ‘milligram per milligram”. By the way, for those who are not familiar with trenbolone, it is a very potent anabolic steroid primarily used today to beef up cattle. Trenbolone was at one time a popular pre-contest anabolic agent used by bodybuilders.

Would it be a good product to use for losing fat or cutting up?

I assume it would be anabolic enough to counteract some of the catabolic outcome of an aggressive dieting program.

Nevertheless, it can be extremely useful for cutting up, and this is probably its most valuable use. While it will not impart any direct fat burning outcome like those that you would get from a thermogenics product, it can assist in losing fat indirectly. It can minimize the loss of lean body mass (LBM) while dieting, aiding in the maintenance of a high basal metabolic rate.

While all prohormones can help maintain LBM, most of them also convert to estrogens. Estrogens promote fat gain and therefore their elevation is counterproductive while dieting. It does not increase estrogen levels making it a superb prohormone choice for cutting-up.

Furthermore, since it has little associated water retention, your muscle definition will not be adversely affected. You will maintain a lean, hard look to your physique.

What about stacking it with other types of prohormones? Is this advisable? Would this help mass gains?

Stacking it with an 4 Androstenediol prohormone products can be of value. You can get the mass gain benefits of the diol prohormones combined with the strength benefits of 1AD.

In particular, stacking it with one of the topical spray prohormone products should be very effective. Such a stack would include a sustained release component with an oral, fast acting component. This would be pharmacokinetic which would be similar to a traditional injectable / oral stack.

Could you give some dosing and cycling info?

The recommended dosage is one to three capsules (100-300 mg) per day with meals. If three capsules are taken, then these should be spread out over the day (i.e. breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Some Bodybuilders have taken more than 600-900 mg per day and gotten excellent results with no adverse results, but the (conservatively labeled) bottle tells you to limit your intake to 300 mg per day.

How do I cycle it?

A cycle can vary between 2 weeks and 10 weeks. However, most cycles usually last around 4-6 weeks for maximum results. Be advised that the longer you stay on it the more substantial the suppression of endogenous testosterone production will be.

Restoration of endogenous production of testosterone can be accelerated by the use of 6-oxo, however the effectiveness of 6-oxo will become less and less the longer the cycle is prolonged. The off cycle time should be 1-2 times the length of the on cycle.

How should I stack Androstenediol with other prohormones?

The most common cycle is to combine it with the testosterone precursor 4-Diol. This stack will allow for a little extra size due to the water retaining properties of testosterone, and might help minimize any loss of libido from the use of this supplement alone.

What is the recommended dosage?

The recommended dosage is 1 to 3 capsules a day. However, some people have found that greater results can be obtained with as much as 3 to 9 capsules a day.

Can women take This supplement?

This product is significantly androgenic, which means that it will put women at risk for virilism (the appearance of secondary male characteristics in the female) much more so than a low virilizing product such as Norandrodiol®. For that reason, it would probably be advisable for most women to avoid it. Some women may be able to tolerate one capsule a day perhaps, but certainly, for the majority of women it is just a better idea to take a Norandrodiol product.
