What is Proviron
Proviron is a great anabolic steroid for improving the androgen-to-estrogen ratio, especially during bulking cycles with aromatizable compounds. It’s not that useful in increasing muscle mass on its own, but it can enhance the effects of Deca, Test, and Anavar (or every other compound there’s on the market).
Proviron can also be beneficial for those who want to achieve a shredded, dry, vascular look, as it can increase your muscle hardness and density.
Proviron Benefits
- Enhanced androgen-to-estrogen ratio: Proviron can aid in increasing free testosterone and lowering SHBG levels. Moreover, Proviron has some anti-estrogen activity, not like an aromatase inhibitor, but noticeable;
- Improved libido: the compound can increase your libido, sensitivity, and sexual performance, especially if you’re on Deca-Durabolin and experience issues with maintaining an erection;
- Increased energy: it can increase your confidence, enhance your mood and overall feeling of well-being, improve your stamina, and help with post-workout fatigue.
Low Proviron doses can help improve your sexual life, libido, and energy levels. Those effects can be beneficial for patients on TRT.
If you’re interested in more prominent results, you’ll need to stack Proviron with other compounds. It will amplify their action, whether you’re on a bulking or cutting cycle.
Proviron Side Effects
Some of the side effects may include:
- Low Testosterone suppression;
- Oily skin;
- Hair thinning;
- Virilization effects;
- Increased cholesterol levels;
- Mood swings.
Contraindications
Proviron can be contraindicated for women, people with severe cardiovascular or hepatic disorders, and prostate cancer.
Proviron Dosage
The recommended Proviron dosage varies between 25 and 100 mg/day, with a cycle length of 6–12 weeks. The starting dosage is 25–40 mg/day. Dosages below 50 mg/day can be great for boosting your energy levels and libido.
Everything above 50 mg/day is commonly used for performance-enhancing purposes.
How to Take Proviron
Proviron half-life is estimated at 12–24 hours. It’s better to split the dosage and take it twice a day. You can take it with or without a meal; no food interactions have been reported.

Common Questions About Proviron
Does Proviron Increase Libido?
Yes, Proviron is popular for increasing desire, improving sexual performance, and aiding in getting and maintaining an erection. If you struggle with ED, whether it’s compound-induced or not, Proviron can be a great choice.
Can Proviron Be Used as PCT?
No, Proviron can’t be used as a PCT. It is still an anabolic steroid that can cause testosterone suppression. Moreover, you’ll need PCT after the Proviron cycle.
However, it’s not aromatized and can mitigate some of the estrogen-related side effects when combined with an aromatizable compound.
Is Proviron Liver Toxic?
Proviron is an oral steroid, but it isn’t that hard on your liver function. If you have severe liver dysfunction, you might want to stay away, but otherwise, everything should be fine.
Proviron is a stable compound, no surprises here. It does three things lowers SHBG, decreases estrogen, and increases sex drive. Best addition to most wet cycles, in my opinion.
