Turinabol is somewhat of a unique anabolic steroid. This is a steroid with powerful anabolic action while at the same time minimizing androgenic characteristics.

Turinabol was first released by Jenapharm out of East Germany in 1962.

The steroid would enjoy a very high safety rating for decades not only among men but in women and even children in a therapeutic setting. This steroid was proven to be very effective in the effort to build or protect lean mass and bone mass without severe complications.

In 1996 the pharmaceutical powerhouse out of Germany Schering, makers of such steroids as Methenolone Enanthate (Primobolan), Testosterone and Mesterolone (Proviron) would acquire Jenapharm but choose not to bring Oral Turinabol back to the market.
