Trenbolone An Overview of the Powerful Anabolic Steroid.pdf

In veterinary medicine, trenbolone is approved in some countries for use in cattle to boost muscle
growth, appetite, and overall weight gain before slaughter. It is implanted subcutaneously in the ear
as pellets, where it slowly releases over several months. For humans, trenbolone has no approved
medical uses due to its high risk profile. However, it is widely misused as a performance-enhancing
drug (PED) in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and other sports. Users often stack it with other steroids
like testosterone for bulking or cutting cycles, aiming for increased strength, vascularity, and fat
loss.
