Episode notes
Tren Is Extremely Potent
- Trenbolone is roughly five times stronger than testosterone by anabolic/androgenic comparison and has the highest AR binding affinity.
- Its broad receptor activity partly explains potent effects and diverse side effects.
Tren's Unique Receptor Targets
- Tren binds multiple receptor types (progesterone, estrogen sensitivity, cannabinoid) and lowers dopamine transporter proteins, producing strong neurological effects.
- These receptor interactions explain anxiety, emotional distancing, gyno risk, and other unique Tren side effects.
Neurological And Kidney Risks
- Tren lowers GABA and disrupts neuronal regulation, which can cause anxiety, vivid dreams, and long-term brain changes.
- Repeated acute kidney injuries from Tren metabolites and brain apoptosis have been reported, suggesting cumulative risks.
