If you mean the HM Gear product, it's just M4ohn.. Never used it, trying to get some.. I heard it's the best of the methyls out now that are legal.. Here's abit on Methyl HydroxyNandrolone by Pogue..
Methyl Hydroxy Nandrolone
by pogue
Hydroxy Nandrolone, like its counterpart, Hydroxy Testosterone, is a steroid which is quite obscure and not much is written about it in medical literature. Hydroxy Nandrolone was produced commercially in Italy under the name Steranabol. It was chemically known as oxabolone.
Like Hydroxy Testosterone, Hydroxy Nandrolone also has a hydroxyl group at the 4 position on the molecule. This makes it incapable of interacting with the aromatese and 5 alpha reductase enzymes. However, since nandrolone typically reduces into a much weaker androgen, DHN, this would make Hydroxy Nandrolone more androgenic. In the body nandrolone reduces to DHN through the same pathway that testosterone reduces to DHT. But, in this case, DHN is weaker and less androgenic than DHT. So, with Hydroxy Nandrolone, we are left with a more potent androgen since it cannot convert through the same pathway. [1]
Nandrolone is the base steroid of Hydroxy Nandrolone. Nandrolone deconate is a popular illegal anabolic steroid, commonly known as Deca Durabolin. Deca is well known for being a strong anabolic, with fewer androgenic properties. This is due to the fact that nandrolone is missing a carbon atom at the 19 position, giving it overall more affinity for the androgen receptor than testosterone. [2] However, unlike Hydroxy Nandrolone, base nandrolone can aromatize into estrogen.
When we look at the information on Steranabol, we see that it is overall less potent than its parent, nandrolone. [3] It is probably closer in action to another popular steroid, oxandrolone. Oxandrolone is well known for its ability to act as a hardening agent to use on cutting or lean mass cycles. Since it does not aromatize, it is of good use for this regards. Oxandrolone, commonly known for its trade name, Anavar, is a very mild steroid.
However, since oxandrolone is a DHT derivative, can be somewhat androgenic, and this will probably not be as pronounced with Hydroxy Nandrolone. This is because the hydroxyl group reduces androgen receptor binding affinity. There is also a question of progestional activity with this compound. It is well known that nandrolone and its derivatives can bind to the progesterone receptor. However, those concerned with gynecomastia can rest assured that progesterone is not the cause of it. Progesterone requires the presence of estrogen in order to cause gyno. Those prone to gyno, may not want use Hydroxy Nandrolone with another aromatizing compound like 4AD, while others might simply just use an anti-estrogen like tamoxifen citrate while on a cycle. However, it is unknown what affinity Hydroxy Nandrolone has for the progesterone receptor, so taking precaution is not unwarranted.
With Methyl Hydroxy Nandrolone, or MOHN, we end up with a very interesting compound. With MOHN, one would expect increases in lean muscle mass, as well as a noticeable increase in strength. Since MOHN doesn’t aromatize, you would not notice water retention, or other estrogenic side effects typically associated with Deca. MOHN would work well during bulking cycles with the addition of 4AD and 1-testosterone, and probably work even better on cutting cycles used alone. MOHN would be well tolerated by people concerned about side effects, and women. Being a methylated compound, it will raise liver enzymes, so it would be best not to stack it with other methylated substances. As with MOHT, R-Ala, NAC and milk thistle would work as good additions for those concerned about liver related issues.
