So! Ive read some threads speaking about testing anabolic steroids at home.. I actually tried it. I got myself some BD Dol, Mexican Vet dianabol - methandrostenolone - while I was in Mexico... and It seemed that all were fake! So I decided to do some research! I found this article! and totally openned my mind towards testing steroids at home = IMPOSSIBLE without the right tools, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I consulted with a very knowledgeable Chemical pharmacist, here is what he had to say about the test;
Firstly, the test is absolute nonsense. You cannot test or get an reaction form a steroid and Sulfuric acid. The only way you could is if there was another compound added into the tablet and this may have nothing to do with the active in the tab.
The only way you can test for the active is to put it trough a process separating the active form the rest of the component in the tablet, and doing a gas spectrometry test if sorts to see the peaks created by the substance. This is the same test used to determine steroid types used by the Olympic drug testing committee. He sits on that committee in SA by the way.
My feeling is that whoever made the tablets used in the test, added something simple that would react with the Sulfuric acid. This may be to identify their tablets or to try and run some else's tablets down.
It is simply not that easy to test for complex chemical structures.
I sent the picture to the pharmacist and he had done some more research, here are some additional comments:
Firstly, the Martindale does not list methandrostelone as soluble in anything close to Sulphuric acid. The next issue that makes this test totally implausible is that if methandrostelone reacted with sulphuric acid in this way, a whole host of things would. By the same token you could go as far as to that you could piss in sulphuric acid if you have been taking dianabol and the metabolites would react. This is simply not the case at all. The Olympic drug testing committee would have figured that out ages ago.
What is more, looking at the picture and reaction the tab on the left is having lead one to two more interesting conclusions. First, there is not a uniform reaction showing. Granted the edges would react faster because they points of solubility, meaning they would break down fast because of their shape and position, but judging by the level of breakdown the other tab has experienced, you would think that an overall browning would have taken place by now. This is speculative, as we have no detail of the experiment, if you can call it that.
The reason for this could lie in the original powder blend that my not have been uniform. When dealing with milligrams, you need a uniform blend in the powder so that every tabled will contain the same amount. This means the active ingredients will be dispersed over the entire tablet in a uniform manner. This would mean the reaction should turn the entire tabled brown judging by the ferocity of the reaction in the picture.
The second point has two component, judging by the above, you are dealing with a potential tab that has not been blended very well and there is very little doubt that another chemical has been added to react with the sulphuric acid. So now ones start leaning toward the conclusion that the tablet that is pitched to be the real thing is in fact the more suspect of the two. This would reinforce the theory that someone has orchestrated the test to work with a specific tablet only.
This test in essence gives no indication of the active component methandrostelone being present or not present. There is a simple way to satisfy yourself send it to a University Chemistry lab and ask then to test a sample tablet.
CONLCUSION:
Dont waste dbol tabs in sulfuric acid! Use them if they work they are legit if not you got scammed.
I hope this helped some people!
