International PharmaceuticalsInternational Pharmaceuticals is probably the world’s oldest running underground steroid manufacturing operation, going back well over a decade. It makes a full line of top-quality orals and injectables, including stanozolol (oral and injectable), methandrostenolone (oral and injectable), oxymetholone, testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, nandrolone decanoate, trenbolone (base), boldenone undecylenate and a Sustanon clone. IP has always had an excellent reputation with bodybuilders. Be careful though, as counterfeiters have been trying to cash in on the IP name for years. The boxes that carry their injectable products can be checked for authenticity by tearing them open and looking at the interior glue line. Each has its own specific number here. IP trenbolone has the number 151 for example, while their stanozolol has 150.
JenakaJenaka was a popular underground lab in Canada for some time, making a full line of products including oxymetholone, testosterone propionate, testosterone cypionate, nandrolone decanoate and nandrolone phenylpropionate. Jenaka was highly regarded on the black market, however it discontinued operation very recently.
L-F-CL-F-C is supposedly a veterinary manufacturer in Canada, but is in reality an underground steroid manufacturer. It makes several injectable products and has a pretty good reputation at this time.
Mexi-PharmThis is an underground maker that’s supposedly based in Mexico. It makes a full line of injectables including nandrolone decanoate, trenbolone acetate, stanozolol, testosterone propionate, testosterone enanthate and testosterone cypionate. It seems to have a good reputation at this time.
Peru Tech LabsThis is an underground manufacturer that’s supposedly based in Peru, although this is unlikely. It makes both orals and injectables, including trenbolone acetate, stanozolol, methandrostenolone and Clomid. There has been a lot of good talk about this company as of late— mostly good feedback.
ProlineThis is another underground manufacturer that focuses on getting high concentrations of steroid into its injectable products. Among other things, it makes testosterone propionate, boldenone undecylenate, trenbolone acetate, a testosterone suspension/trenbolone mixture, injectable stanozolol and testosterone enanthate. Some of the products are in a concentration as high as 500mg/ml.
PV LabsPV makes a full line of injectables including testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, testosterone propionate, trenbolone acetate, nandrolone decanoate, stanozolol and a Sustanon close. All come in 10ml vials, except for the 100mg/ml stanozolol, which is in a 20ml bottle. Newer labels have the letters PVL embossed in the paper in an effort to deter counterfeiting of the line. PV makes oral products in addition, including a 25mg oxymetholone product (Oxytol-25).
QFS
QFS is another underground Canadian company that’s highly regarded for the quality of its products. The name stands for “Quest For Size.” Its line of injectables includes Enlarge (200mg/ml 10ml testosterone enanthate), Prop Rx (testosterone propionate 100mg/ml 10ml), Androtren (trenbolone acetate 100mg/ml 10ml), Aqua-Test (testosterone suspension 100mg/ml 20ml), Stanozolol 50mg/ml 20ml and Equibolic (boldenone undecylenate 200mg/ml 10ml).
QuestThis is another new underground company. It’s the maker of Masteron 75, a drostanolone propionate injectable that supposedly contains 75mg/ml of this steroid in a 20ml vial. Since drostanolone is an extremely rare find, I wound be hesitant to trust it without an independent lab test. Feedback seems extremely good on this company thus far, however, so you never know.
SpectroFor a period of time, Spectro was one of the most reputable underground labs in operation. This Canadian firm made a full line of oral and injectable steroid products, including testosterone cypionate, testosterone propionate, nandrolone decanoate, methandrostenolone, stanozolol, oxymetholone and testosterone suspension. The products were highly regarded on the black market, so much so, that there was quite a stir when Spectro finally closed down. A new company is now using the abandoned Spectro name, but unfortunately, I have no information about the quality of its products.
ValopharmValopharm has been around for a couple of years and has a small line with a good reputation. Products include Valotest (400mg/ml testosterone enanthate), WiniJet (100mg/ml stanozolol), Finaplix Gold (100mg/ml trenbolone acetate) and Pronadrol (50mg oxymetholone).
World ProductsThis is another Canadian underground manufacturer. It began operating in the spring of 2002 and makes several injectable and oral steroid products. The lab claims to do all their manufacturing in a sterile air-filter environment. Obviously, this cannot be verified.
Making the Purchase?The underground labs are out there. The question now is, should you buy from them? Ultimately, this is not an easy question to answer. It’s a decision you will have to make for yourself. I have always avoided underground products myself for a number of reasons, the least of which is not safety. You need to remember that when a legitimate pharmaceutical company makes a steroid, it is done in what is known as a “clean room.” These assembly rooms are kept perfectly sterile. You can’t even go near a clean room without a sealed body suit and respirator. What do you think the chances are that an underground manufacturing operation is assembling its products in such a room? Granted, if you add enough benzyl alcohol to an injectable solution you’ll probably be okay, but personally speaking, I prefer not to take those chances. With orals, of course, this is not such an important issue. Another thing to consider is that you never know what is truly going on behind the scenes. I trust that Upjohn is not messing up the ingredients in my Depo-Testosterone, but know that I am at the full mercy of the unknown people running the underground operation. What if someone there is having a really bad day and decides to take it out on me? I simply feel that there are enough trusted legitimate steroid manufacturers in the world not to be forced to buy underground drugs. But then again, many of the above companies have very loyal followers. Sometimes, it’s hard to argue with results.
