Meldonium steroid

Meldonium is a substance originally developed in Eastern Europe for the treatment of certain cardiovascular diseases. It affects cellular energy metabolism, especially the oxidation of fatty acids. Since 2016, it has been on the doping list in performance sports. 

Possible effects in sports 

• better endurance 

• more efficient use of oxygen 

• faster regeneration 

• less fatigue during intense training 

• support of energy metabolism during high loads 

It is not anabolic, does not directly increase testosterone, or build muscle like steroids or SARMs. Its importance is more related to endurance and recovery. 

Typical users 

• strength athletes looking for better recovery 

• bodybuilders in demanding training periods 

• endurance athletes 

• people trying to increase training capacity 

The goal is faster recovery between workouts, better endurance, and support for the cardiovascular system during exercise. 

Side effects 

• headaches 

• dizziness 

• indigestion 

• heart palpitations 

• blood pressure changes 

• restlessness or sleep disturbances 

• possible interactions with heart medications 

The effects of long-term use by healthy athletes without indication have not been sufficiently studied. 

Combinations 

• testosterone 

• nandrolone 

• trenbolone 

• stanozolol 

• various SARMs 

In practice, it is combined with anabolic agents for muscle effect and with meldonium for regeneration or endurance. Such a combination can increase cardiovascular load. 

Summary 

Meldonium is a prescription drug in many countries and a banned substance in competitive sports. Its use without a medical reason carries health risks.
