| Omnadren 250 is an oil-based injectable containing
a blend of four different testosterone esters: Testosterone
propionate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate and caproate.
Being a four-component testosterone, Omnadren is most
commonly compared to Sustanon. While it does contain
Testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate and
isocaproate in the same strength as Sustanon, the last ester
is different. Please note however, that the older versions
of Omnadren list isohexanoate and hexanoate as the final two
ingredients. Hexanoate is simply another work for caproate,
so the last ester (decanoate) is the only Sustanon
constituent missing from Omnadren.
One of the only noticeable differences between Sustanon
and Omnadren seems to be the speed in which estrogen buildup
occurs. In comparison, the process appears to be slightly
more pronounced with Omnadren. This is of course just a
matter of timing, as the slowest releasing ester in Omnadren
(caproate) is a little faster acting than enanthate. Blood
testosterone levels will therefore peak much faster with
this compound, not having the same gradual release time
imposed by testosterone decanoate. Users likewise report
water retention much earlier into a cycle. While water
retention may lead to a more rapid buildup of size and
strength, it can become pronounced enough to cause a very
smooth and watery look to develop (hiding muscle
definition). In addition, the excess estrogen is likely to
cause the development of gynecomastia. This effect is
especially pronounced with Omnadren, usually presenting
itself quickly after a cycle has been started. Estrogen can
also be responsible for increases in body fat storage during
treatment, resulting in a further loss of definition.
Individuals who are sensitive to the effects of estrogen,
yet still seek the power of a testosterone, would therefore
need to addition an antiestrogen such as Nolvadex and/or
Proviron. Arimidex,Femara, or Aromasin, 3 powerful
antiaromatase, are another option available to us. These
drug works much more efficiently than any other antiestrogen
in use by athletes. They would have great use with such a
strong item as Omnadren, as the standard remedies would not
be quite as effective.
Being a testosterone, one can also expect the typical set
of androgenic side effects. Oily skin, acne, body/facial
hair growth and increase aggression are all very common with
this product. It can also bring out or aggravate a condition
of male pattern baldness. Men with a familial predisposition
for hair loss should probably avoid this item. We do
however, have the option to addition Proscar (finasteride).
This is a drug that can effectively prevent testosterone
from converting into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in certain
androgen target tissues. Since DHT is the primary culprit
with testosterone's androgenic side effects, adding Proscar
to the cycle should allow it to be much more comfortable.
Omnadren is also likely to suppress endogenous testosterone
production rather quickly. It is therefore almost a
necessity to add a testosterone stimulating drug like HCG
and/or Clomid/Nolvadex when concluding therapy. This way we
can prevent a retracted period of unbalanced hormone levels,
hopefully avoiding a "crash" after the
steroids
have been removed.
Being a powerful, long acting testosterone blend, the
effect of Omnadren is of course quite comparable to that of
Sustanon (except that its release time is closer to
cypionate or enanthate). It is similarly a powerful
androgen, capable of providing great gains in mass and
strength. Due of the high level of water retention
associated with testosterone, Omnadren is really only
applicable for bulking purposes. While it is very effective
alone, it is also combined often with a number of other
steroids depending on the desired result. Many athletes
prefer to combine Omnadren with a strong anabolic like
Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise for example, in an attempt to
lower the overall testosterone dosage and run a more quality
mass building cycle. On the other hand, power-lifters and
those looking for dramatic gains in mass and strength
(regardless of quality) may stack Omnadren with heavy orals
such as Anadrol 50 or Dianabol. Here of course the strength
and weight gain should be even more extreme, although
androgenic/estrogenic side effects are expected to be as
well.
Although
Omnadren stays active in the body for about two
weeks, it is generally injected on a weekly basis. A dosage
of 250-750mg (1-3 ampules) per week is more than sufficient
to achieve great results. Some take advantage of the very
low price of Omnadren (Europe) and take excessively large
amounts. Beyond 750mg or 1000mg weekly added side effects
will no doubt be greatly outweighing growth, so there is
usually little need for such excess. With this drug we
really don't want to mistake water bloat for muscle growth.
And while a number of adventurous women do experiment with
testosterone products, Omnadren is probably not a good
choice. The long action of this compound, mixed with the
highly androgenic nature of testosterone, makes a poor
combination. Virilization symptoms can develop quite easily
with a strong androgen, making a long acting product like
Omnadren notably dangerous should problems become evident.
Testosterone propionate is a much better choice should an
androgen like this be absolutely necessary, as it will give
the user much greater control over her blood testosterone
level.
Due to the extremely low price for this drug in Poland,
Omnadren is made readily available on the black market.
Among bodybuilders, Omnadren is generally considered to be
inferior to Sustanon however. Price may have something to do
with this belief, as this drug is generally much cheaper
than Sustanon on the black market. It is likewise usually
pushed when availability of (or money for) Sustanon is
short. At this point counterteits are not a major concern,
so it is considered a trustworthy item. Don't be alarmed if
your Omnadren seems to have a different look than or you
remember from previous experience. The packaging of this
product seems to change quite often. For starters, the
company name changed officially in 1991 from
"Polfa" to "Jelfa", although for years
after the older version boxes could still be found in
circulation. The color of the boxes also varies, and has
included pink & white, green & white, gray, and gray
& blue. What is constant is that each box contains five
ampules, protected in a white paper or plastic holder. The
old ampules are clear glass, and are imprinted with red or
black ink that will rub off easily. The newer version is
identified by a paper ampule label, which currently bears
black print.
