EQUIPOSE (Boldenone Undecylenate) Steroid Profile

Equipoise is the brand/trade name for the anabolic steroid Boldenone, which obtain an oil-based injectable anabolic steroid with the Undecylenate ester attached to it for a prolonged release rate and half-life.

Boldenone Undecylenate is a testosterone-derived anabolic androgenic steroid that is best known by the trade name Equipoise given to it by Squibb in the 1970s. While Equipoise is officially classified as a veterinarian grade anabolic steroid, the first batches of Boldenone were introduced on the human grade pharmaceutical market by Ciba in the early 1950s under the brand name Parenabol.

Human grade Boldenone would mark some success in human medicine through the 1960s and 70s but would ultimately be discontinued by the end of the decade. Since that time, the steroid has only been available through veterinarian medicine and underground labs with the Equipoise name dominating the market. Fort Dodge Animal Health presently possesses the Equipoise name.

Many users enjoy comparing it to that of Nandrolone (Deca Durabolin), however, this comparison is a very poor one seeing as though Nandrolone exhibits different properties than Equipoise and is also a different class of compounds. (a 19-nor, also known as a progestin).

It would have been considered an oral form of Equipoise, but the methylation at the 17th carbon atom changed enough of the properties of the compound that it was considered a different anabolic steroid analog and named Methandrostenolone (Dianabol). Squibb would subsequently pick up the patents for this anabolic steroid and re-release Boldenone under the name Equipoise as a veterinary anabolic steroid meant primarily for application in horses but is also intended for use in other animals.

Equipoise is completely known for its lean mass increases as well as its appetite-stimulant effects, which is an effect common among nearly all anabolic steroids. However, Equipoise tends to stimulate the appetite to far more considerable degrees than any other anabolic steroid.

Equipoise is a structurally altered form of testosterone. It is then attached to the very large or long Undecylenate ester, which is responsible for regulating the release of the hormone once administered into the body. The Undecylenate ester allows for a peak release in Boldenone approximately 3-4 days after injection, with a gradual continuous release of the hormone to follow for approximately 21 days.

Equipoise exhibits many similarities regarding direct enhancement properties with testosterone. Equipoise is moreover properly-known for increasing red blood cell count, a trait shared by most all anabolic steroids. However, issues of concern have been noted regarding how much Equipoise can increase red blood cell count. In many ways, the increase in red blood cells provided by Equipoise can be fast and rapid, but may not present a significant advantage or disadvantage compared to most anabolic steroids when used responsibly.
