Finaject

Finaject was an injectable steroid of veterinary medicine which was extremely popular in bodybuilding and powerlifting during the 1980's. "Was"?, some of you will wonder. Well, we can easily explain this. All those of you who still do not know, do not believe, do not want to realize the facts, or still let unscrupulous black market dealers convince you to purchase Finaject, should pay attention to the following statement: ORIGINAL FINAJECT HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED IN NINE YEARS! (Finaplix will be discussed at the end of this chapter.) Since 1987 neither Finaject nor hnajet has been manufactured in either France or Great Britain, nor in any other country worldwide. Residual supplies are available at this time; however, in all likelihood they are used up or superposed (past their expiration dates). For this reason, trade with faked Finaject is booming on the black market where the athlete can find a 30 ml or 50 ml vial of dark-brown glass that usually comes with a red cap. The label or sticker is in French and shows the compound as "Finaject 30." The manufacturer is apparently Distrivet s.a., 35 bd des Invalides, 75007 Paris by "Groupe Roussel UCLAF" The expiration date and manufacturing date are either missing or printed in the same type as the rest of the label. In some cases the vial comes in an additional package. The multicolored imprint on the carton can be wiped off with your finger if you wet the label and apply some pressure when rubbing. This would never be the case on an original package. All fakes are lacking traces of the substance "trenbolone acetate." So what does this compound contain? An analysis made in September '93 showed a very small amount of "testosterone enanthate." This finding, however, does not mean much, since the next vial that is analyzed might contain something completely different. The 50 ml oil solution costs $350-400. on the black market, which is a lot of money for a little "Testo." No matter what, the best you can do is stay clear of compounds with the imprint "Finaject." The same is obviously true for the English Finajet.

Although it does not make much sense to describe in detail a compound and its characteristics when it is no longer available (yes, we will talk about Finaplix) we would like to make an exception here. Some day perhaps "Fina" will be produced again, although this seems unlikely. Too many times in Europe it was illicitly abused in the treatment of animals destined for food processing. This shows what a high potential for abuse there is. Finaject is a very strong and androgenic compound which also has a high anabolic effect. It gives its users a fast and powerful strength gain without causing excessive gain in body weight. The reason is that "Fina" does not cause a water retention in the body. This was the reason why it was so popular among powerlifters who had to stay within a certain weight class. The strength gain is comparable to the famous "mass steroids" Dianabol, Anapolon 50, and Testosterone. What is special about Finaject is the substance trenobolone acetate which plays an active role during fatburning. It was a favorite among competing bodybuilders during preparation for championships since it helped athletes whose fat content was already relatively low to obtain a good muscle hardness and density. When the nutrition was right, it was possible that one could obtain with Finaject simultaneously both a high strength gain and a qualitatively high muscle gain; and the entire muscle system continued to get harder.

Since Finaject is the acetate form of trenbolone, its effect lasts only a short time and frequent administration is necessary. Most athletes inject I ml (30 mg) every secQnd day. Higher dosages such as, for example, 30 mg/day or 60 mg every two days, however, were not unusual since an enormous strength gain and also a strong but still high-quality muscle gain was obtained. Finaject does not aromatize since its substance is not changed into estrogens. In combination with Winstrol it has a dramatic effect on the body's appearance. To achieve a gigantic strength gain bodybuilders used to combine 30 mg Finaject every 1-2 days and 50 mg Winstrol Depot every 1-2 days (also known as Strombaject) during preparation for a competition and the buildup phase. No other combination gives the athlete such an incredible hardness and such a defined muscle gain. The possible physical change obtainable in only a few weeks is enormous enough to shock some non-involved observers. Believe us, competing bodybuilders love this combination especially. Finaject was also part of probably the most effective stack for mass buildup. Together with Dianabol or Anadrol 50, and testosterone, "Fina" builds up strength and mass in record time. So much about the positive aspects of Finaject which, unfortunately, are often spoiled by its considerable negative side effects.

"Fina" is quite kidney-toxic and after a certain time of intake, it may cause pain in the kidneys. The first sign of possible kidney damage manifests itself in a very dark-colored urine. Some athlete will probably still remember the day when he excreted blood in his urine for the first time. It is important that Fina not be taken in high dosages over a prolonged period of time. It must also be observed that the amount of fluids is increased to at least one gallon/day so that the kidneys are well flushed. Finaject has considerable androgem caused side effects both in women and men. Athletes often report head-aches, nasal bleeding, high blood pressure, oily skin with acne, and in part an enormous increase in aggressiveness. The high blood pressure is surprising since TMFina" does not cause water and salt retention which are normally the main cause of this condition. The skin can also considerably worsen which again manifests itself in a higher production of the sebaceous gland resulting in severe acne and larger pores. Especially negative is the characteristically high aggressiveness of athletes. "Fina" gets into your brain and can cause considerable mood swings in its users. One is extremely irritable and can "act out" quite abruptly. Daniel Duchaine in his Underground Steroid Handbook 2 hits the nail on the head: "Someone on Finajet is no fun to be with." Women, in short time, can experience most undesirable cosmetic changes which often are irreversible. Despite this, many top female bodybuilders and powerlifters have included "Fina" in their training program for competitions. Finject is no steroid for male/female leisure bodybuilders and, if at all, should only be used by advanced and ambitious competitive athletes. Sensible women refuse to take it. Although "Fina" does not aromatize, its users often report gynecomastia. We believe that the reason for this is that during the late 1980's many athlete and today all users do not inject original but faked "Fina." Since the fake usually turns out to be a common testo this seems to explain the feminization symptoms. Original "Fina" was often recognized by the pain it caused at the point of injection even hours after the injection. Some athletes complained about hot flashes, nausea, and, in the event of veterinary compounds, "steroid fever." The original "Fina"-as mentioned before-has not been manufactured in years and many have been replaced by Parabolon which is made in France and comes from the field of human medicine. Parabolan, as a substance, also contains trenbolone but without the acetate form (see Parabolan).

When we previously talked about Finaject or Finajet, we referred exclusively to the injectable solution dissolved in oil. Finaplix1 however, is a little more difficult because there is no place to insert a needle and draw a solution. Finaplix is a veterinary drug which is not for injection but is to be "shot" into your system. You have read correctly: animals are shot with Finaplix using an implant pistol. Finaplix is only available in this one form of administration, in the form of pellets which are small, cylindrical implants similar to tablets. We hope but do not guarantee that no one will hold such a pistol at his behind and pull the trigger. Athletes who are afraid of injections apparently have even drunk the content of ampules! We can only explicitly warn you not to do so. Back to its form of administration: Two different sizes are available. Finaplix-s stands for 70, Finaplix-h for 100 pellets which are enclosed in a cartridge. These pellets are obviously not intended to be swallowed. Their basic chemical structure is developed in such a way as to break down very slowly; that is, the substance release is delayed. Once implanted, its substance is expected to work for a certain time in a way similar to progesterone or estradiol patches for women. One way of administering the substance found in the pellets consists of first grinding the pellets into powder by use of a mortar and pestle. Then the powder is put into a container, adding 2 ml of distilled water or sesame oil. (Two pellets should be enough, since one pellet contains 20 mg trenbolone acetate.) Then combine powder and liquid and draw up the solution using a syringe. At this point we want to emphasize once more that this procedure has a great number of risks. The injectable solution was not created under sterile lab conditions and an injection could cause infections and many other complications.

Another way of administration which is far less dangerous, can be prepared as follows: the ground pellets are mixed with a mixture of 50% water and 50% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). Then the mixture is put on the skin and allowed to soak in. Dimethyl sulfoxide is used to transport the substance trenbolone through the skin. Using this method approximately 40 mg of the substance can get into the blood without much harm. On the black market a box of 100 pellets costs up to $400. So far we have not seen any fakes.

Finajet: (parabolan acetate) 50cc vial

This is an oil based veterinarian steroid from Europe. It is a derivative of 19-Nortestosterone. Finajet is a high anabolic, moderate androgen compound. It can be toxic to the liver in excessive dosages. Finajet is a fast acting acetate, so shots are usually taken every other day. Athletes report very good strength gains with minimal water retention or weight gains. Some feel it is very effective for hardening up a lean physique, i.e. pre-contest bodybuilders. This drug is too high in androgens for women, even in the smallest dosages. A high number of allergic reactions to this drug have been seen. Almost 10% of the athletes who used Finajet reported very painful injection sites, flu like symptoms, and/or skin rashes. This is the drug’s major drawback. Effective dosages are in the range of half cc to one cc every other day.

Finajet:

This is a French veterinary drug that comes in 50 cc bottles in 50 mg per cc. This stuff is rather fast acting even though it is oil based product. So the you have to take a shot every three days. It is less androgenic and gives you that "hard" look and cuts you up more. Though ir sucks to get a shoot every three days may cause painful injection sites. There are other and better injectables.

Finaplix:

Finaplix is a veterinary cattle implant, which contains the potent androgenic steroid trenbolone acetate. This is the same drug which was once available as an injectable in the U.S, labeled Finaject, although it's production has been discontinued here and worldwide for about a decade. Finaplix was the last remaining pure trenbolone acetate, however it too has now been discontinued and replaced with Revalor, trenbolone acetate with a small amount of estradiol, an estrogen (see Revalor). Trenbolone acetate is a potent androgen, which will not readily convert to estrogen. Since in this case it is in the form of a cattle implant, administration is a bit difficult. Most commonly, these implant pellets are ground up and mixed with a 50/50 water/DMSO mix and applied to the skin daily. This home-brew transdermal mix is very effective, as seen in Finaplix's popularity. Some a little more daring have mixed their own BI-weekly (or more frequent) injections, although I couldn't see this being a very sanitary practice. Both when applied to the skin, or injected, users report great strength and mass gains with no gyno or water retention. Along with being a strong muscle building steroid, it is also noted as being very effective at burning fat. This has made it very appealing for competitive athletes looking to shed fat, while at the same time trying to avoid water retention and keep a the hard physique which a strong androgen helps bring about. It should also be noted that this is not a beginners steroid. Finaplix can be very toxic, especially to the kidneys. Since this is a strong androgen, related side effects such as ance and increased aggression are also very common. To be cautious, users will commonly will limit their use of this drug to 4 or 6 weeks. Old lots of Finaplix are still available through some veterinary suppliers, and being an implant are not being controlled as a steroid. It will not be long though before old lots are exhausted and pure trenbolone acetate will once again disappear.

Finaplix:

Known Name Brands: Finaplix-S, Finaplix-H,

Description: Finaplix is another of the cattle implants that continues to gain popularity with bodybuilders since steroids are becoming harder and harder to get for some people. Each Finaplix pellet contains 20 mg. of trenbolone acetate apiece. This is the same compound that was found in Finajet that was pulled off the market in 1987. Finaplix is a very strong and androgenic steroid that also has a high anabolic effect. It will give you a very fast and powerful strength gain without a lot of added bodyweight since finaplix does not cause water retention in the body. Fina helps to accelerate fat burning which made it a popular product with competitive bodybuilders because it helps to add to muscle hardness and density. It is also very popular with powerlifters that have to stay within a certain weight class. Finaplix has many side effects as well besides the fact that it is not the most sterile since it is a vet drug. Finaplix is a very kidney toxic steroid. Finaplix, unlike the other cattle implants, does not contain any estradiol which is hazardous to a bodybuilders health unless he really wants to get gyno. Finaplix comes in two types. Finaplix-S cartridges contain 70 pellets whereas Finaplix-H cartridges contain 100 pellets per cartridge. You can't eat the cartridges either. They must be administered one of two ways:

One way is to use DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to make the steroid transdermal meaning that it will now pass through the skin. There are a variety of forms that DMSO is available but the gel version works the best and is the easiest to use. What you want to do is grind up about two of the pellets into as fine of a powder as you can and then mix it with one teaspoonful of DMSO and one of water and apply to the skin every 2 days as that is the effective time span for trenbolone acetate. This will give you about a 40 mg. dose of trenbolone acetate. You can then rub this compound into your skin and wrap the area with a piece of saran wrap to help get the compound to absorb into the skin easier since it will heat it between the saran wrap and your body to aid in absorption.

The other way to take this compound is through injection. You can do this by mixing the compound with about 2 cc of oil or sterile water and injecting it that way. Even grinding up the particles as fine as you can you will have to use about an 18 gauge needle to inject

Parabolan

Parabolan is the only injectable form of trenbolone available world-wide. It is produced by Negma in France and sold in 1.5ml amps, one to a box. Each amp contains 76mg of trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate. This product is very difficult to get on the black market, whereas good looking counterfeits are quite easy to obtain. Make note that the real version comes with a clear plastic tray (not white). Parabolan exerts strong anabolic and androgenic qualities and does not readily convert to estrogen. Gynocomastia is usually of no concern while using this product. However, very strong androgenic side effects will still be present. Most importantly, kidney functions and blood pressure should be watched closely. Parabolan is generally considered an advanced users drug, too strong and harsh to recommend to a beginner or non-competitive bodybuilder. For competition purposes, it produces a very hard and vascular physique..

Parabolan: (trenbolone) 76 mg per 1.5 ampule

The French steroid has a number of things going for it. It is a derivative of the 19-nortestosterone molecule, which is the same parent drug as Deca-Durabolin. This similarity does not end there, these two drugs act very much alike. In fact Parabolan can be mistaken for Deca on a drug test. Parabolan is a favourite to thousands of athletes. This injectable steroid has higher anabolic and lower androgenic properties than testosterone, also reminiscent to Deca. It was originally thought to be non aromatising, but it will aromatise at a high dosage in some users. Parabolan is a great pre-contest steroid. The relatively high androgenic properties can promote substantial "hardness" in a lifter who is already lean. This androgenic effect can also result in greater vascularity and fuller muscles. Parabolan has been effective on a limited calorie diet, if protein intake is still high. It need not be regarded as a cutting drug only. It can be used quite successfully to build quality muscle and strength, without the bloat of a D-Bol or Testosterones. In a stack with Anavar, Parabolan becomes part of a super strength building cycle for powerlifters who do not wish to go over their weight class limit. Side effects seen with the use of Parabolan are minimal. The drug aromatises very little if at all, so water retention and hynecomastia are rarely seen. Hepatototoxicity (liver stress) is minimal with dosages of 152 mg per week, and if used for eight weeks or less, it exhibits very little suppression of the body’s own hormone production. Blood pressure readings are unlikely to rise due to the fact that Parabolan does not cause the blood to hold excessive electrolytes. Each person reacts differently to every drug, but the majority of athletes find this item to be safe when used properly. Parabolan has a lot to offer. It is good for pre-contest cycles. When stacked with another androgen it becomes part of an effective weight and strength cycle; but remember Parabolan used by itself will not result in dramatic weight gains. Quality muscle gains are to be expected. Parabolan comes out to look like another "all purpose" anabolic, DecaParabolan is a little more androgenic than Deca. Many are using this drug in place of Equipoise or Deca, which have become very hard to get. Parabolan is quite available on the market for about $18 an ampule. Average dosages are 76 mg to 152 mg a week.

Parabolan: (trenbolone)

76 mg in 1,5 cc ampule. This is a French steroid wich is a derivate of 19-Nortestosterone. Parabolan is a non-aromatizing androgen. For this reason, it has become a favorite of pre-contest bodybuilders who claim it produces dramatic hardness in the lifter who is already lean. This androgenic effect also contibutes to strength increases wich are reportedly noticeable within weeks after instigating its use. Parabolan can be stacked with Deca or Primobolan on a cutting cycle or testosterones for bulking. It is fairly toxic.

Parabolan:

Description: 76 mgs. / 1.5 cc. vial. Parabolan is a non-aromatizing androgen. For this reason, it has become a favorite of pre-contest bodybuilders who claim it produces dramatic hardness in the lifter who is already lean. This androgenic effect also crontibutes to strength increases which are reportedly noticeable within weeks after instigating its use. It is fairly toxic. This is one of my favorites if you can find it.

Effective Dose: 76 - 152 mgs. / week

Street Price: I have never been able to get ahold of it

Stacking Info: Can be stacked with Deca-Durabolan or Anavar for a cutting cycle or some form of testosterone for a bulking cycle.

Parabolan:

Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate is an androgen which is highly praised by strength athletes. Parabolan causes a tremendous increase in muscle hardness and muscle strength. It comes in a 76mg ampule and it last 2-4 days in the body. Parabolan works very well when stacked with a low androgen steroid (i.e. Anavar) during a cutting cycle . Parabolan does not aromtize!. Parabolan is generally considered an advanced users drug, too strong and harsh to recommend to a beginner or non-competitive bodybuilder. For competition purposes, it produces a very hard and vascular physique.

Permastril: (dromostanolone) 100 mg/ampule

This steroid is an, oil based injectable fro France. It is the same as Masteron, which is made in Spain. As with some other derivatives of DHT, it is a valuable pre-contest drug. Dramatic increases in muscularity are often reported among users. This does not mean that if a person takes Permastril it will make their body lean and muscular. When a report indicates a steroid will "harden" the muscles.

It really means that if you are already maintaining low body fat, like a pre-contest bodybuilder, the drug will sharpen the muscles, appearance. Often a bodybuilder will endure weeks of torturous dieting along with long hard workouts only to find their physique flat or smooth. The body fat is low enough, but often high estrogen levels and low androgens will leave the muscles looking subpar. This is where a steroid like Permastril acts like a dramatic "hardening drug". Bodybuilders do seem to favour using this drug for the last four or five weeks before a show, often in a stack with Primobolan or Winstrol. Novaldex is usually not used with Permastril because it does not aromatise at any dosage. The hepatotoxicity of this drug is very minimal, as it’s gonadotropic suppression. This steroid exhibits high anabolic and lower androgenic properties than testosterone. Although we have outlined its use as being mainly for pre-contest bodybuilders, it is also used on cycles where the athlete wishes to avoid water retention and aromatisation. In this case athletes have reported fair strength increases and denser looking muscle. Of course athletes do not experience the type of rapid strength increases they would with testosterone because this is a function of water retention more than anything else. Reportedly Permastril is a popular drug with endurance athletes as well. It is quick in and out of the system. Injections average one ampule, every four or five, days. This drug has been hard to detect on any steroid test. The present availability of Permastril is slow, but reportedly improving due to high demand. It costs $15 per ampule.

The multicolored imprint on the carton can be wiped off with your finger if you wet the label and apply some pressure when rubbing. This would never be the case on an original package.

This finding, however, does not mean much, since the next vial that is analyzed might contain something completely different. The 50 ml oil solution costs $350 -400 on the black market, which is a lot of money for a little "Testo." No matter what, the best you can do is stay clear of compounds with the imprint "Finaject." The same is obviously true for the En-glish Finajet.

Although it does not make much sense to describe in detail a com-pound and its characteristics when it is no longer available (yes, we will talk about Finaplix) we would like to make an exception here. Some day perhaps "Fina" will be produced again, although this seems unlikely. Too many times in Europe it was illicitly abused in the treatment of animals destined for food processing.

As promised we conclude by discussing Finaplix which has be-come increasingly popular in recent years. When we previously talked about Finaject or Finajet, we referred exclusively to the injectable solution dissolved in oil. Finaplix, however, is a little more difficult because there is no place to insert a needle and draw a solution.

We can only explicitly warn you not to do so. Back to its form of administration: Two different sizes are available. Finaplix-s stands for 70, Finaplix-h for 100 pellets which are en-closed in a cartridge. These pellets are obviously not intended to be swallowed. Their basic chemical structure is developed in such a way as to break down very slowly; that is, the substance re-lease is delayed.

This is the same drug which was once available as an injectable in the U.S., labeled Finaject, although it's production has been discontinued here and worldwide for about a decade.

Since this is a strong androgen, related side effects such as acne and increased aggression are also very common. To be cautious, users will commonly limit their use of this drug to 4 or 6 weeks. Old lots of Finaplix are still available through some veterinary suppliers, and being an implant is not being controlled as a steroid. It will not be long before old lots are exhausted and pure trenbolone acetate will once again disappear.

Parabolan is a strong, androgenic steroid which also has a high ana-bolic effect. Whether a novice, hard gainer, power lifter, or pro body-builder, everyone who uses Parabolan is enthusiastic about the re-sults: a fast gain in solid, high-quality muscle mass accompanied by a considerable strength increase in the basic exercises. in addition, the regular application over a number of weeks results in a well visible increased muscle hardness over the entire body without diet-ing at the same time. Frequently the following scenario takes place: bodybuilders who use steroids and for some time have been stag-nate in their development suddenly make new progress with Parabolan. Another characteristic is that Parabolan, unlike most highly-androgenic steroids, does not aromatize. The substance trenbolone does not convert into estrogens so that the athlete does not have to fight a higher estrogen level or feminization symptoms. Those who use Parabolan will also notice that there is no water retention in the tissue. To say it very clearly: Parbolan is the number one competition steroid. When a low fat content has been achieved by a low-calorie diet, Parabolan gives a dramatic increase in muscle hardness. In combination with a protein-rich diet it becomes espe-cially effective in this phase since Parabolan speeds up the metabo-lism and accelerates the burning of fat. The high androgenic effect prevents a possible overtraining syndrome, accelerates the regen-eration, and gives the muscles a full, vascular appearance but, at the same time, a ripped and shredded look.

Most athletes inject Parabolan at least twice a week; some bodybuilders inject 1-2 ampules per day during the last three to four weeks be-fore a competition. Normally a dosage of 228 mg/week is used, corresponding to a weekly amount of three ampules. It is our expe-rience that good results can be achieved by injecting a 76 mg am-pule every 2-3 days. Parabolan combined with Winstrol Depot works especially well and gives the athlete a distinct gain in solid and high quality muscles together with an enormous strength gain. A very effective stack is 76 mg Parabolan every 2 days combined with 50 mg Winstrol every 2 days. Athletes who are interested in a fast mass gain often also use 30 mg Dianabol/day while those who are more interested in quality and strength like to add 25 mg+ Oxandrolone/ day. Probably the most effective Parabolan combination consists of 228 mg Parabolan/week, 200 mg Winstrol Depot/week, and 40-50 mg Oral-Turinabol/day and usually results in a drastic gain in high quality muscle mass together with a gigantic strength gain. Parabolan also seems to bring extraordinarily good results when used in combination with growth hormones.

Parabolan is not a steroid suitable for year-round treatment since it is quite toxic. The duration of intake should be limited to a maxi-mum of 8 weeks. It has been proven that Parabolan, above all, puts stress on the kidneys, rather than the liver. Athletes who have taken it in high dosages over several weeks often report an unusually dark colored urine. In extreme cases blood can be excreted through the urine, a clear sign of kidney damage. Those who use Parabolan should drink an additional gallon of fluid daily since it helps flush the kidneys. Since Parabolan does not cause water and salt retention the blood pressure rarely rises. Similar to Finaject, many athletes show an aggressive attitude which is attributed to the distinct an-drogenic effect. It is interesting that acne and hair loss only occur rarely which might be due to the fact that the substance is not con-verted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Some athletes report nau-sea, headaches, and loss of appetite when they inject more than one ampule (76 mg) per week. Since Parabolan considerably reduces the endogenic testosterone production, the use of testosterone-stimu-lating compounds at the end of intake is suggested. In older athletes there is an increased risk that Parabolan could induce growth of the male prostate gland. We recommend that male bodybuilders, dur-ing and after a treatment with Parabolan, have their physician check their prostate to be sure it is still small in size.

Steroid novices should not (yet) use Parabolan. The same is true for women; however, there are enough female athletes who do not care since the female organism reacts to the androgenic charge and the strong anabolic effect of Parabolan with distinct gains in muscles and strength, especially from a female point of view. Thus the entire body has a harder and more athletic look. Parabolan without a doubt is an enticing product for ambitious female athletes. In the end everything depends on your personal willingness to take risks, ladies. The fact is that the standards on the national and interna-tional competition scenes in female bodybuilding have achieved lev-els which cannot be reached without the administration of strongly androgenic steroid compounds. A combination well-liked by female bodybuilders consists of 76 mg Parabolan/week, 20 mg Winstrol tablets/day, and 100 mcg Clenbuterol/day Women who do not in-ject more than one ampule of Parabolan per week and who limit the period of intake to 4-5 weeks can mostly avoid or minimize virilization symptoms. Female athletes who are overdoing it or who are sensitive to the androgenic part of trenbolone hexahydrobencylcarbonate can be confronted with some unpleas-ant surprises after several weeks of use: acne, androgenically-caused hair loss on the scalp, irregular menstrual cycles, missed periods, much higher libido, aggressiveness, deep voice, chtorial hypertro-phy, and increased hair growth on face and on the legs. The last three side effects are mostly irreversible changes.

The chance of finding real Parabolan on the black market is around 5%. That is the reason why we take a chance and claim that only very few of you who read this book will have ever held an original Parabolan in your hand, let alone injected one. Those who have not tried the originals simply cannot take part in this discussion. As to the effect, the difference between the real French Parabolan and the fakes circulating on the black market is gigantic.

An individual package with a 76-mg/1.5 ml ampule costs between $25 and $35 on the American black market. Those who would like to purchase Parabolan on the black market should be very careful and skeptical toward the authenticity of the product offered.
