A Bulgarian company registered as Balkanpharma produced Bionabol; or methandrostenolone as it is medically known as, up until 2005 when it's license to manufacture Bionabol was revoked by the Bulgarian Ministry of Health. The current stocks that are still available can still be taken up until 2009, when this batch will reach it's expiry date.

The most popular oral steroid ever taken up until present day times is dianabol, the generic name for which is methandrostenolone. Dianabol hit the market back in 1955 by an American based company called Ciba Pharmaceuticals. Bionabol is actually a derivative of testosterone, but has been altered to get an increased anabolic effect, which reduces greatly androgenic side effects and it's popularity came about as it is an oral steroid.

Average dose for athletes using Bionabol range from as low as 10mg per day, all the way up to 100mg per day or more for adventurous athletes. With Bionabol, more is not necessarily better. Side effects increase dramatically with increased dosage, which include and are not limited to: water retention, liver toxicity, acne, aggression, and increased blood pressure.

Bionabol is best when used in conjunction with injectable steroids such as deca-durabolin and testosterone. Duration of cycle is generally 6 weeks or less to minimize the side effects and damage to the liver. Best results will come from low dosage cycles for longer periods of time instead of the usual recommended high dosage short term cycle to "jump start" your cycle until injectable steroids accumulate and begin working in your system.

An example of low dose cycles would be by taking a dose of 10-20mg for an 8-10 week cycle period and this will produce permanent muscle gains. Forget about what anybody else does to show off. It just isn't worth it so make sure you get good advice before working out your cycles. You can get all the advice that is required from the steroid-encyclopaedia (listed below), and that way you can train safely.
