[Lenin]

Is Dianabol good or bad for collagen synthesis ?

For joints, connective tissue, etc.

All AASs build up the joints (ie raise collagen synthesis) but in different ways. For example winstrol doesn't cross-link fibers so the joints becomes weak. Deca is best for joints health.

Dianabol , actually, should be very good for your joints. As with many other 17aa steroids , Dbol is also a very weak binder to the Androgen Receptor, so most of its effects are thought to be non-receptor mediated, and are attributable to other mechanisms (protein synthesis, GH secretion etc…). In fact it would seem that all of it’s anabolic effect may be from GH secretion following administration! This is because when Dbol was administered to rats whose pituitary glands had been removed, it actually demonstrated zero anabolic effects*. Therefore, GH secretion must be the largest mitigating factor in its anabolic activity. Also lending more support to that theory, it only has a modest aromatase activity, yet you retain alot of water on Dbol, so it’s clearly not estrogen that causes water gain on Dbol, but rather GH. And GH has been proven to be very beneficial for joint repair.
