What is Furaguno?

Furaguno is a Japanese-Designed prosteroid (meaning it's an AAS not yet classified as a controlled substance) to Furazabol(Miotolan). What this means, is that it is the demethylated (removal of mythal-group(CH3)) chemical analog of the steroidal aromatase inhibitor Furazabol. It was released by Spectra Force. This substance is represented as 5alpha- androstano[2,3-c]furazan-17beta-tetrahydropyranol. Furaguno is the same compound as Orastan-A by Gaspari Nutrition but in a cap size of 33mg instead of Orastan's 50mg.

What can you expect?

Furazabol and Furaguno have similar effect, and possible side-effects to a compound like Winstrol (stanozolol). Furaguno and Furazabol have a high ratio of anabolic to androgenic effect. Due to it being only mildly androgenic chances of the negative side effects often seen with compounds such as Testosterone, Dianabol, or Anadrol are rare. There is also no estrogenic effect to worry about with either Furaguno or Furazabol, as aromatization is not possible in both cases. The marketing for Furaguno does mention: “FURAGUNO may be helpful in reducing cholesterol levels and could possibly play a preventive role with certain cardiovascular issues”. This is not true, the statement is based on research done in the 1970's which showed a drop in serum cholesterol. This was usually the result of suppressed HDL cholesterol as shown by later studies. When it comes down to it Furazabol use is expected to increase cardiovascular disease risk, not improve it. The shifting of the HDL/LDL ratio is in the wrong direction for it to have a positive effect on cardiovascular issues.

Due to the lack of a conversion to estrogen a user most likely will not experience water retention, thus making it beneficial for a cutting cycle. The compound in question has the ability to show mild to medium mass gain with lack of water retention or high levels of liver and kidney toxicity.

Dose:

Many people have used Furaguno at doses of 100mg or less for 8 to 12 weeks (180 pound man) with good results where as others have ran it at a dose as high as 150mg for 3 weeks, then 200mg for 2 weeks for a total of 5 weeks for a 250 pound man.

What needs to be taken with Furaguno?

Furaguno may be taken on its own or as part of a stack. Research has shown that some users have noticed great results when stacking it with compounds like halodrol (H-Drol), M-Drol and even Pro-Turinabol depending on your goals.

Milk thistle: It is recommended that milk thistle should be taken throughout the cycle for extra liver support, but may in fact inhibit your gains. This is because the milk thistle is cleaning out some of the extra substance passing through you liver. therefore making milk thistle best taken in the Preload and PCT.

Preload: 750-1200mg/day for 1 week
PCT: 1000 mgs a day 2 weeks.

Hawthorne Berry: This can play and important role in keeping your blood-pressure down throughout the cycle.
DOSAGE: 565-1500mg/day  Throughout Cycle.

Celery Seed: Also very beneficial on cycle as an antioxidant and also helps lower blood pressure.

Saw Palmetto: Can be very important to add in to your cycle as you probably do not want prostate troubles down the road.

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)

Since Furaguno is not capable of converting into estrogen (in theory), an anti-estrogen should not be necessary while using this steroid. However reality has taught many of us you can never be too careful. So having a SERM on hand at all times throughout the cycle should be considered.

After using any hormonal substance there is a a period in which you need to give your natural hormones a time to recover, and this needs to be done with the help of a proper SERM or Anti-Aromatase. I would recommend using Nolvadex to help you restore your natural testosterone and eliminate any extra estrogen buildup you may have recieved from this substance. You could also use Clomid in place of Nolvadex, but I'm my honest opinion Nolvadex(Tamoxifen) is the better choice because it does not have all the nasty sides Clomid does.

Proper Nolvadex dosing would be as follows:

40/40/20/20

Which would be:

40 mg's first week
40 mg's second week
20 mg's third week
20 mgs's fourth week.

If you are still experiencing estrogenic side effects when done I would suggest running 10 mgs until they dissipate.

Conclusion:

This compound seems like a promising one. The result of this compund should be good if using/stacking this in a cutting cycle, as you will gain lean muscle mass without any extra bloat. It is non-methylated so risk of toxicity is fairly low. Overall we do recommend this compound to those who are looking for a legal cutting compound either standalone or for stacking purposes.
