Effects
- Lean muscle gain: Promotes lean muscle mass with little water retention, giving a dry, quality look.[7][9]
- Strength & performance: Used by athletes to build muscle and improve strength and endurance without aromatizing side effects.[9]
- No estrogenic effect: Non-aromatizable, so gynecomastia and estrogenic water retention are not expected; an anti-estrogen is generally not needed for estrogen control.[7]
- Low androgenic burden: Lower androgenic rating than testosterone, so androgenic side effects are comparatively mild, though still possible.[10][7]

What it is
Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (CDMT, "Turinabol" or "Tbol") is an oral anabolic–androgenic steroid (AAS), the 4-chloro-substituted derivative of metandienone (Dianabol).[1][2] It was developed by East German company Jenapharm in the early 1960s and was historically used for androgen deficiency and catabolic states, but is now best known for performance-enhancement and was central to a state-sponsored doping program.[2][3]
How it works
CDMT binds to the androgen receptor to drive muscle protein synthesis, shifting the anabolic-to-androgenic balance in favor of anabolic effects.[4] A 17-alpha-methyl (C17-alkyl) group lets it survive first-pass liver metabolism so it can be taken orally, but this same modification makes it hepatotoxic.[5][6] A double bond between carbons 1 and 2 lowers its androgenic strength, and a chlorine atom at carbon 4 blocks aromatization, so it does not convert to estrogen.[4][7] Like all AAS it interacts with the androgen receptor to reduce gonadotropin output, suppressing the body's own testosterone production.[8]
Risks & side effects
Most important: As a 17-alpha-alkylated oral steroid, CDMT is hepatotoxic: it raises liver enzymes (AST/ALT) and stresses the liver, with risk rising at higher doses and longer cycles.[6][11] AAS more broadly can cause drug-induced liver injury presenting with jaundice and pruritus, so liver-function monitoring during any oral cycle is essential.[12][13]
Common
- Elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT) and liver stress from C17-alkylation[6][11]
- Suppression of natural testosterone production, low libido and testicular atrophy[8][14]
- Androgenic effects such as oily skin, acne, body/facial hair, and possible aggravation of male-pattern hair loss[10]
- Adverse lipid changes — raised LDL and lowered HDL[14][15]
Serious
- Drug-induced liver injury presenting with jaundice, pruritus and right-upper-quadrant pain[12][13]
- Cardiovascular strain from worsened cholesterol profile, raising cardiovascular risk[15][14]
- Virilization in women — voice deepening, menstrual irregularities, facial hair and clitoral enlargement[10]
- Need for post-cycle therapy to restore suppressed hormone production[8][16]
Safety & harm reduction
- Women, especially when pregnant or breastfeeding, due to virilization and fetal risk[10]
- People with existing liver disease or impaired liver function, given its hepatotoxicity[6][12]
- Men with known or suspected prostate cancer (standard AAS/androgen contraindication)[26]
- Anyone with significant cardiovascular disease or adverse lipid profile, given its negative effect on cholesterol[15][14]
- Stacking with other 17-alkylated oral steroids compounds liver toxicity[6][18]
- Its androgenicity is not greatly altered by 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) because it is poorly metabolized by 5-alpha-reductase[10][8]
- As an AAS it can interact with other hepatotoxic or cardiovascular-affecting drugs; combine cautiously[14]
Dosage context
Commonly-reported (not a prescription) physique-use ranges cited by community/coaching sources are roughly 15–30 mg/day for around 8–12 weeks; older studies on East German athletes found 15–35 mg/day did not significantly raise AST/ALT, whereas modern users taking 60 mg or more are expected to see negative effects.[11][16] These figures are reported usage, not medical guidance, and higher doses sharply increase liver and cardiovascular risk.[11][18]
