Generally, anabolic and androgenic drugs are very strong in nature and action (except for a few ones). But when it comes to the strongest out of these strong drugs, trenbolone is the name that comes out. Sold under the trade name of Parabolan and Finaplix H, it is the most powerful anabolic drug available in market. Due to its extremely strong nature and action, it has never been approved by the Food And Drug Association of the United States for human consumption. Thus, use of this drug by humans is a violation of the Federal Law in the United States.
This drug has remarkable androgenicity. The binding ability of trenbolone to the receptors is five times as that of testosterone. Originally developed as finaplex pellets, it was used as veterinary product for the treatment of cattle. It is classified as a schedule 3 drug by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
