Sterling Knight Trenbol-100 10 ml vial (100 mg/ml)

Trenbolone Acetate

Trenbolone Acetate, known by the brand name Finaplex, is a powerful synthetic anabolic steroid initially developed for livestock to enhance growth and weight gain. This esterified steroid acts over an extended duration and significantly boosts appetite.

Although originally an anabolic agent, Finaplex also carries strong androgenic properties and is administered solely through intramuscular injection. Once its anabolic advantages became apparent, it was quickly adopted by bodybuilders and athletes seeking to increase muscle weight and mass, especially when combined with a calorie-rich diet.

Pharmacology

Finaplex exhibits several anabolic effects akin to other steroids, such as promoting protein synthesis and augmenting muscle mass. Additionally, it stimulates red blood cell production, enhancing hemoglobin levels and improving oxygen transport. The effects intensify with increased dosage.

The steroid has not received any medical approval for treating conditions, and while it may be relatively safe for animals at low doses, higher doses can trigger significant adverse effects. Notably, it is no longer produced in North America.

Bodybuilders

Despite its discontinuation in pharmaceutical manufacturing, bodybuilders still misuse Finaplex to significantly enhance muscle mass. However, the source and purity of the product often raise concerns since most production occurs in Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Eastern Europe. Many underground labs provide varying quality levels of the drug. Upon injection, Finaplex is absorbed over 3-7 days, promoting increased protein synthesis and a favorable nitrogen balance.

Various users claim that the steroid boosts appetite, mitigates muscle breakdown, and aids injury recovery.

At lower doses, it appears safe; however, at elevated levels, it may convert to estrogen, leading to side effects like water retention and gynecomastia.

Over the years, diverse formulations of Finaplex injections have surfaced, modified by the ester bonds’ aliphatic chain length, which influences the drug’s duration of action. Short-acting variants are rapidly absorbed and processed within 2-5 days, while longer-acting versions remain effective for 6-12 days. Most bodybuilders typically inject 1-2 times weekly over a span of 4-6 weeks.

Dosage

Finaplex is exclusively available as an injectable product. Standard doses begin at 200mg/week, potentially escalating to 1200mg/week, as the ester deposits in fat tissues allow gradual release.

Some online vendors claim to sell Finaplex pills, but absorption via oral ingestion is poor due to rapid liver metabolism, underscoring the inadequacy of oral supplementation.

Recommended injection sites include the gluteal muscles; injections in the arms or abdomen may yield discomfort. To avoid pain, small volumes are advised, and injection sites should be alternated to reduce abscess risks. The outer thigh is also a popular injection area.

Extraction from Pellets

Historically, Finaplex was presented as pellets for subcutaneous implantation in livestock. Some bodybuilders have taken to crushing these pellets and extracting the active ingredient using solvents like DMSO, subsequently mixing it with oil for injection or topical application. However, this homemade extraction method is crude, often ineffective, and prone to variable absorption rates, necessitating comprehensive application for adequate drug uptake.

Cycling

For muscle development, users generally recommend cycling Finaplex with other steroids over 3-6 weeks, with commonly paired steroids such as Dianabol and Anavar. A high-calorie diet is crucial for muscle gain. Low-dose combinations with Growth hormone or thyroxine can also be beneficial. It’s vital to limit Finaplex usage to no more than 4 weeks to mitigate side effects and testosterone suppression, with some users suggesting starting clomiphene therapy after a brief washout period.

While Finaplex can elevate muscle mass, it lacks the substantial performance increase associated with other anabolic steroids, leading many experts to advise its usage at the beginning of competitive seasons in conjunction with other steroid regimens.

Side Effects

As is typical with anabolic steroids, Finaplex is linked to various side effects. Generally, the drug is well-tolerated, with minimal estrogenic effects, making it a preferred choice among bodybuilders. Potential side effects include:

• Insomnia
• High blood pressure
• Increased aggression
• Night sweats
• Libido fluctuations
• Virilization
• Kidney damage
• Clitoral enlargement
• Cough
• Mood swings
• Deepened voice

Most side effects tend to reverse once the steroid is discontinued, although some virilizing effects in females may be permanent.

A peculiar and frequently reported side effect is a persistent dry cough that emerges approximately two weeks post-injection, devoid of fever or sputum. This cough’s origin remains ambiguous but may relate to product contaminants or reactions to the injection’s oily nature, occasionally lasting months even after drug cessation. The unsterilized production environments for many anabolic steroids leave the quality and purity open to skepticism.

Warning

There are indications that Finaplex can degrade over time, with reported kidney damage linked to steroid use. Identifying the exact cause of renal issues can be challenging due to concurrent use of multiple substances. Always utilize fresh products for injections—discard any brownish, clumpy oily suspensions.

Additionally, Finaplex may alter cholesterol levels, posing long-term cardiovascular risks.

Availability

Numerous online platforms assert they offer genuine Finaplex. Yet, the drug is absent from legitimate pharmaceutical production, favoring clandestine laboratories instead. Although products may be accessible, genuine purity and quality remain issues, with many reports highlighting counterfeit or tainted products. Often, the efficacy of anabolic steroids is compromised due to the inconsistent ingredient presence. Online purchases lack guarantees of real Finaplex. The safest validation of the substance is through laboratory analysis.

Even in veterinary practices, Finaplex is under rigorous regulation.

Cost

Finaplex pricing can vary widely, influenced by the seller. Available as both injection and oral forms, a 10cc vial can cost between $150-200, with quality being uncertain. Tablets may also be sold, priced around $50-$75 for 45 tablets (300mg).

Detection

Similar to other anabolic steroids, Finaplex is banned in professional sports. Most sports organizations now conduct testing to measure this hormone in urine, with reliable detection for 7-30 days post-discontinuation.
