Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) is an anabolic steroid that is based on the testosterone hormone with only a slight variation to the chemical structure, but one that it makes unique.
The attached ester, Undecylenate, is a slow-release ester that causes Equipoise to continue being released into the body for up to three weeks after an injection. It also takes several days for the maximum blood level to be reached after you inject Boldenone.
EQ is one of the few steroids that is used solely for veterinary purposes. The “equi” portion of the name indicates that this product is intended for use in horses. But like a lot of steroids, the effects of Equipoise are appealing for bodybuilders and it’s not too surprising to know that EQ shares a lot of similarities with testosterone; after all it’s only a slightly modified version of that original hormone.
These similar functions include the enhancement of both protein synthesis and muscle nitrogen retention, as well as increasing red blood cell count. EQ can also increase the output of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and reduce stress hormones.
Equipoise has an anabolic to androgenic ratio of 100:50, compared with testosterone having an even 100:100 ratio.
Most steroid users are familiar with the legendary compound Dianabol which EQ shares a virtually identical chemical structure with, but a slight modification allows each one to have a very different effect on the body. This makes it possible to use these very similar yet completely different acting steroids together in a cycle with great benefits.
