PharmARC Trenogeron-A 10 ml vial (100 mg/ml)

Trenbolone Acetate

Finaplex (or trenbolone) is a synthetic steroid originally utilized in agriculture to enhance the weight of livestock. This powerful weight stimulant can significantly boost appetite and is an esterified steroid that provides prolonged action.

Although primarily recognized for its anabolic capabilities, Finaplex is also a formidable androgenic agent, administered exclusively through intramuscular injections. Once its anabolic traits were discovered, bodybuilders and athletes began using it extensively to enhance body weight and muscle mass, provided their diet supports their caloric needs.

Pharmacology

Similar to other anabolic steroids, Finaplex promotes protein synthesis and muscle growth while also increasing red blood cell production. This enhancement results in elevated hemoglobin levels and improved oxygen transport capacity, with effects intensifying with dosage increments.

This compound has not received any medical endorsement for treating disorders, and while it exhibits safety at low doses in animals, higher doses may invoke considerable side effects. Currently, Finaplex is no longer produced in North America.

Bodybuilders

Despite its discontinuation in pharmaceutical circles, Finaplex remains prevalent among bodybuilders seeking muscle mass gains. However, due to its lack of manufacturing sources, most products originate from Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, with underground labs often raising concerns about product quality and purity. Upon injection, Finaplex is absorbed slowly, persisting in the system for 3-7 days and promoting protein synthesis with a positive nitrogen balance.

Users frequently report increases in appetite, reduced muscle degradation, and improved recovery following injuries. At lower doses, it remains safe, but high doses can lead to estrogen conversion, causing potential side effects like water retention and gynecomastia.

Over time, Finaplex formulations have diversified, all incorporating ester bonds. Short-acting variants are rapidly absorbed and excreted in 2-5 days, while long-acting versions linger for 6-12 days. Most users administer injections 1-2 times weekly for a duration of 4-6 weeks.

Dosage

Available exclusively as an injection, the initial Finaplex dose begins at 200mg/week, scaling up to 1200mg/week over time. This steroid accrues in fat tissues, releasing gradually due to the ester component.

Although some Finaplex pills are circulating online, they are poorly absorbed and metabolized immediately by the liver; oral forms are thus not advisable.

The preferred injection site is the buttock region; using the arms or abdomen can be excessively painful. As it is suspended in oil, smaller injection volumes are preferable to avoid discomfort. Sites should be rotated to curtail abscess development, with the outer thigh serving as an alternative.

Extraction from Pellets

Historically, Finaplex was produced in pellet form for slow release into livestock via subcutaneous implantation. Some bodybuilders opt to grind these pellets and extract the trenbolone using an organic solvent, such as DMSO, before dissolving it in oil for injection or topical application. However, this method yields unpredictable absorption rates, requiring extensive body application to achieve desired effects, while homemade extraction processes often lack efficacy.

Cycling

Leveraging Finaplex for muscle development is common among users who recommend cycling with other steroids over 3-6 weeks. Common combinations include Dianabol and Anavar, emphasizing a high-calorie diet to support weight gain. Some users advocate pairing Finaplex with hormones like Growth hormone or thyroxin at low doses. Caution is important, as usage beyond 4 weeks may amplify adverse effects and cause testosterone suppression. To mitigate this, starting clomiphene after a 2-week washout period is suggested.

Unlike many other anabolic steroids, Finaplex proves effective for muscle multiplication but does not enhance performance significantly. Experts often recommend beginning this steroid at the sports season’s onset, ideally alongside other anabolic options.

Side effects

As with all anabolic steroids, Finaplex is associated with several side effects. Favorably, it is well tolerated with minimal estrogenic influence, making it a popular choice among bodybuilders. Reported side effects include:

• insomnia
• high blood pressure
• increased aggression
• sweats
• fluctuations in libido
• virilization
• kidney damage
• clitoral enlargement
• persistent cough
• mood swings
• deepened voice

The majority of side effects resolve following discontinuation; however, some virilizing reactions in females may be irreversible.

Users frequently report a dry cough beginning two weeks post-injection, which persists without fever or sputum. While the cough’s root cause remains undetermined, it may relate to product contaminants or interactions with the oily base. Occasionally, this cough lingers for months after cessation, emphasizing the concerns over product purity in unlicensed manufacturing environments.

Warning

Reports indicate that Finaplex may degrade over time, with instances of kidney damage linked to its use. Given the multitude of drugs that bodybuilders often combine, pinpointing specific causes of renal damage is challenging. Regardless, always ensure fresh product for every injection, discarding any that appear brown or clumped.

This steroid can also alter cholesterol levels, presenting potential risks for heart health.

Availability

A multitude of online sources claim to offer genuine Finaplex, yet it is not manufactured by recognized pharmaceutical companies and primarily produced in clandestine labs. While access to the product exists, concerns regarding safety, purity, and legitimacy abound, with widespread instances of fake and contaminated offerings. Many purported anabolic steroids fail due to the absence of authentic ingredients, as indicated by testing of numerous online purchases revealing contaminants instead. The legality of online anabolic steroid sales renders the authenticity of “Finaplex” dubious, and laboratory analysis remains the sole reliable method of verification. Even in veterinary medicine, this drug is stringently regulated.

Cost

The price of Finaplex varies significantly based on the supplier. Both injectable and oral forms can be found, with a 10cc vial reaching prices between $150-200, leaving questions about its purity and quality. Tablets of Finaplex are also available, costing $50-$75 for 45 tablets (300mg).

Detection

As with all anabolic steroids, Finaplex is prohibited in sports. Major sports organizations routinely screen for this hormone in urine samples. Current testing can reliably identify Finaplex or its metabolites 7-30 days post-use.
