Masteron Enanthate, which should be more properly known as Drostanolone Enanthate, is a long estered variant of Drostanolone. Drostanolone was originally marketed on the prescription drug market under the brand name Masteron, which was Drostanolone Propionate (a short estered variant of Drostalonone. The trade name of Masteron caught on very quickly across bodybuilding circles, and the two should really be referred to as “Drostanolone Propionate” and “Drostanolone Enanthate” due to the fact that the brand name Masteron is really a descriptor for Drostanolone Propionate, and only Drostanolone Propionate. However, the Masteron trade name has stuck permanently onto the lips of bodybuilders and athletes everywhere, and so the Enanthate variant of Drostanolone is now referred to all the time as Masteron Enanthate. Chemically, the difference between Masteron Propionate and Masteron Enanthate is very much the exact same as the difference between Testosterone Propionate and Testosterone Enanthate. The base hormone, which in this case is Drostanolone, is affixed with an Enanthate ester on its 17-beta hydroxyl group.
The origins of Masteron Enanthate are not very clear at all. It is completely clear, however, that this is not and never ever was a pharmaceutical human grade product at all. Unlike similar products such as Trenbolone Enanthate that can be traced back to its first manufacture under specific underground labs (British Dragon), Masteron Enanthate has a far more shrouded history. It is currently unknown which underground labs, if any, originally introduced this product into the black market. There is some rumor that an underground lab by the name of Dpharm originally brought it into the market, but there is very little factual evidence to support these small rumors. Furthermore, it is not even entirely known when Masteron Enanthate hit the black market, though it was most likely during the early 2000s. This might make logical sense, considering the early 2000s was a period where a handful of underground laboratories (UGLs) were attempting to make headway into developing anabolic steroids that are beyond the scope of pharmaceutical application. Obviously the very first Masteron product (Masteron Propionate) entered the bodybuilding and athletic world by way of trickle-down from the pharmaceutical environment, but Masteron Enanthate seems to be a derivative resultant of the black market and underground world.
The benefits of Masteron-Enanthate can largely be summed up in three words, lean and hard. For the performance enhancer and outside of a breast cancer patient largely it will only be performance enhancers of a bodybuilding nature who supplement with Masteron in the first place as it is an excellent physique transforming steroid but it is not a miracle in a bottle. Even though it has a rather mildly low androgenic rating the story it tells is rather different as it will harden one up quite decently. Further, as is by its nature Masteron-Enanthate effects overall metabolic activity by directly stimulating lipolysis; no, it is not the only steroid that presents such benefits nor is it the strongest one but these are largely the traits.
As stated, this is not a miracle steroid; a good steroid absolutely but it holds nowhere near the power of say Trenbolone that also greatly promotes hardness and lipolysis among many other traits. However, Masteron-Enanthate is far milder than Trenbolone but before you get too excited you need to understand an important fact. If you’re sitting there at 20% body-fat Masteron-Enanthate is not going to do a lot for you; to benefit from this steroid you need to be fairly lean to begin with as the effects won’t be all that noticeable unless you are. Yes, it may indeed help you lose a little fat if you are at a high percentage of body-fat but there are other things you can use and other things you can do that will be far more beneficial and far more worth your time and money. To truly benefit from the Masteron-Enanthate hormone we need to be below 8% and most will find below 6% to be even better. If we are this lean when we begin using the steroid the hardening affect brought on by both its androgenic nature and ability to have an anti-aromatase effect will be pretty close to amazing. Further, for the competitive bodybuilder looking to drop that last little bit of fat this hormone can be even more useful as Masteron may be the final ingredient missing to do just that.
From the perspective of performance enhancement, Masteron’s anti-aromatase effects are of great use. It affects other steroids in the body that undergo aromatization. This anti-aromatase property of Masteron enanthate is significant in many ways. The anabolic steroid also possess androgenic traits that couple with its anti-aromatase nature to improve performance in the gym.
Masteron enanthate is one of the few exceptions in steroids that cannot be used in both primary and secondary roles. For instance, testosterone can be used to serve bulking, cutting or any other cycle. Masteron does not share these characteristics.
