pill vs injection

[babylon]

my research tells me injection is better than pills,
1. less harsh on your organs
2. higher % take in

your first sentence should answer your question.

While you shouldn't drink much on any cycle, it's particularly bad on your liver with orals so you shouldn't drink at all.

Pills are more convenient but I'd only use them for very light cycles due to their toxicity.

I prefer injectibles. Always use a new needle and always aspirate.

Most pills/oral tabs/oral liquids tend to be 17 alpha-alkylated steroids. They have a methyl group located at the 17th carbon location. This is done so the steroid can stay active through first-pass metabolism by the liver. As a result, oral steroids are harder on your liver than injectibles. That is why people advise limiting there use to 4-6 weeks on average. Injectibles, in contrast, don't have nearly the same influence on your liver function (the steroid bypasses first pass metabolism by the liver when injected, but is still eventually processed there to a lesser degree). For this reason, injectibles are typically considered safer, and can be used for much longer peroids of time than orals - like months as compared to weeks.

BTW, examples of 17-aa oral steroids are dianabol (dbol), anadrol (abombs), winstrol tabs, anavar, halotestin, and methyltestosterone.

hope this helps,

Very informative post. I concur this opinion.

How about anavar? It's light on the liver.

[drgoodbody]

From an article by Bill Roberts:

"Oxandrolone shares the liver toxicity problems common to 17-alkylated steroids. At one time it was thought that it did not, but both clinical and practical experience with Oxandrin has shown that at doses of 40 mg/day and higher, liver toxicity is indeed an issue with prolonged use.

Primobolan, I believe, should be considered a superior compound, offering the same activity at (usually) a lower price and without the alkylated-toxicity issue."

Dbol is probably the only oral that I have ever run alone. (I still injected it BTW) The results are OK to good if you do it right. Still adding as little as 150mg test prop EOD would make it a great cycle. Bang for the buck the smart thing to do is inject.

Dude. You will HAVE to get use to the needles if you want ANY type of a good cycle. Doing an all oral cycle is VERY stupid. Pointless. And NOT safe at all.

Cheers!

i prefer a mixture of both..majority of injects with only few tabs..dont be a puss go for the pain:D

[darkcloud]

injections dont really hurt(of course it depends on the gear:) its just a mental thing for the most part

i'd say if anyone isnt willing to inject maybe just maybe they arent ready for gear and should wait until they are ready to inject

[JUICE]

injections of course. So i dont have to be popping pills everyday and forgetting sometimes. I prefer the needle.

[lestatgear]

Prefer both stacked together. Another issue you can run into w/ oral only cycles, depending on the compound you use, is complete loss of gains when you come off. Especially w/ dbol and drol.
