What exactly is Epistane?
Epistane, also known via RPN Havoc, is an anti-estrogen and prohormone in a single active ingredient. The chemical structural formula is 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstane, or also methyl-epitiostanol. In medicine, Epistane is actually used in liquid form in breast cancer therapy. Epistane became an international bestseller, primarily due to Havoc. The special properties of Epistane are its anti-estrogenic effect and its alpha-methylation.
How does Epistane affect the body?
Epistane is best classified as a mild muscle-building supplement. This means it has a very low side effect profile with a moderate effect. Due to its action as an anti-estrogen, it can reduce water retention and suppress gynecomastia. At the same time, it increases lean muscle mass (lean bulk) and supports clean muscle building. In addition, it also has a fat-reducing effect. Overall, Epistane provides for dry muscle gains.
How do I take Epistane?
Epistane is generally taken for 4 weeks and should be used with liver support and a PCT during the cycle. In rare cases, users take Epistane for 6-8 weeks. The half-life is approximately 6-8 hours, which is why the daily dosage of 30-40 mg should be spread throughout the day.
