For Women

Women who use PEDs or other forms of pharmacology know they have to be a bit more careful due to the severity of the side effects they may experience. For this reason, they tend to only use certain compounds and only for a certain period of time. That said, there are methods to lessen the sides or avoid them completely. 

Key Takeaways

Female endocrinology is dismally complex, and if you’ve ever taken a look at how hormones change during the menstrual cycle you would not doubt that statement at all. That said, females obviously still want to use PEDs to get the best results. Unfortunately, they are at risk of three major factors: 

1. The duration of time they use a particular compound 
2. The dosage of the compound used
3. The very nature of the compound used 

You might be reading this and think “Well, that’s just about everything isn’t it?” and you would not be wrong. Because we stock such a variety of products, we need to discuss each grouping in general to find out which ones are going to be good or bad for female use. 

Androgens (Steroids) are going to be the biggest culprit when it comes to female side effects. Unfortunately, females are quite sensitive to Androgenic side effects – this is actually the reason why SARMs were invented in the medical field. Steroids will bind to androgen receptors in muscle, bone, and other tissues in the body, leading to transcription and eventually, biological changes. 

Because most androgens are based on Testosterone, there are going to be some androgenic side effects in women. These are often apparent when men take the substances too, however, because females are quite a lot loss “male” to begin with, the side effects seem quite severe. Such side effects include deepening of the voice, body hair growth, enlargement of the clitoris, nipple growth, etc. 

Luckily, not all Steroids cause such severe side effects. Granted you don’t totally abuse the compound in question, you could get away with Anavar, Primobolan, Deca Durabolin, and perhaps Masteron – but Primobolan would be better. These are the androgens known to be relatively safe for female usage – granted you follow rules 1 & 2: restrict time and dosage. 

SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators) are a great alternative to pure steroids. Developed in the late 1900s to replace androgens in the medical field due to androgens having severe androgenic side effects – especially in women and children. Unlike steroids that will bind to every single androgen receptor it comes across, SARMs were designed to be selective – hence the name. They tend to only bind to receptors in muscle and bone tissue, but some of the stronger ones are a tad more aggressive. 

SARMs that will work well with females include Cardarine, Ibutamoren, Ostarine, and Stenabolic. These are some of the best SARMs on the market currently, and they can help you gain muscle mass, lose fat, or even improve cardiovascular fitness. 

While the side effects of SARMs are far fewer compared to Steroids, keep in mind using stupid doses will still lead to some nasty sides, so, don’t go crazy. 

Peptides are simply amino acid chains that were designed in a certain pattern and ratio to have a certain purpose. Most Peptides are fine to use for females, however, some that were specifically designed to boost male sexual function should be avoided.
