Dan Duchaine would argue with you but he's dead.
Duchaine said it was fine for women at a low dose, in fact people thought he was nuts to even put woman and Anadrol in the same sentence.
It's not as highly androgenic like tren or whatever.
Drugs of today are not as strong as the pharma of yesterday or even today, but they are cheap and widely available so dosages are far higher. I personally think 1 amp of Testoviron is better than the same mg in chinese test, but one costs $15 ml the other $3 so the modern bodybuilder takes it 3 times to 1 times higher. The end result guys today are on higher amounts of IUS and MGS as they look like they are. They are bigger but not necessarily better as the combination makes all things bigger including waists guts etc. IMO
I have used a lot of pharma test but I couldn't really tell a difference. One dude gave me 50 amps of a few pharma brands for free, he was going to buy UG. Now I think he was nuts, I mean pharma is always preferred for the quality guarantee. This same dude said Ciba Dianabol didn't impress him much, that's how long he has juiced. Strange.
Another dude sells me his scripted Nebido for about 90 bucks. Why does he sell it? Well, he can buy that 1g of test for 5 bucks from UG labs and make a few bucks. I don't mind paying premium prices for assured quality, and I just like to try different products.
The base ingredient from China may be ok (or maybe not, recall other crap made in China) but how do you even know what's in that syringe or bottle you buy from your local drug pusher? You don't know. Maybe that Chinese supplier mixed it up in the same beaker he last used for insect killer. Do you think he cares about your health? Does your local pusher care deeply for quality, say more than when he cuts dope?
There are many problems with the China underground scene, the stuff could be 98% pure vs 99% for pharma. The brewers may also cut the products and sometimes they may have a bad batch or even the wrong compound altogether, they may not know themselves. However, real hormones are being made in China, it's not all just watered down test.
Someone made the point a few years ago is that UGs often ocerdosed their products to make them appear extra strong, nothing was gained by cutting the product, since the hormones themselves were so cheap.
But yes, pharma would always be preferred, but strangely pharma stuff is sometimes off too, legally many drugs can be 10% off.
At the start of this year China promised to crack down on illegal hormone market and put the sellers to death. I don't know what came of that, but who was pressuring China? It was WADA, all hormones used by athletes come from China pretty much. Many years ago Stallone was also using Chinese Jintropin and US government pressured China to crack down on this specific growth hormone.
