Spoting Fake Anabolic Steriods

Keep in mind fake does not always means it's no substance inside
of suspected Underground steroid product. It could me
underdose, overdose, non-sterilization and metals or nothing in
it at all. Most will say Overdose is good? But for those who
are trying to be as safe as they can be. Overdose can cause a
host of issues, thicken blood, estrogen conversion ect. Older or
wise gents don't want this. Some undergrounds overdose thinking
their customers would get such a kick. They will return. But
when one tells me the kick their getting out of a primo tab or
primo injections. I have to look at them twice. For 13 years
I've used nothing but Bayer amps from Turkey and Thailand amps.
Primo provides muscle pumps and fullness. I never seen or heard
anyone say primo has a kick. When you read the info below
published by Anabolic Review. Keep in mind. This is just a way
to trouble shoot. I don't believe none of this info is not
written in gold. As I believe the Underground has come along
was as shabby as some products may look.

TOP 5 TRICKS TO IDENTIFY A FAKE STEROID
Q: What are the top 5 tricks to identify a fake steroid?
A: I want to start by pointing out that fifteen years ago,
things were a bit different than they are today. Counterfeit
drugs were generally much easier to spot back then. They were
often very crude looking in appearance, missing key elements or
having a “homemade” look to the components. They usually just
didn’t look “right,” even to the untrained eye. Simple checks
for legitimacy were easily done, and products often quickly
verified. The number of what I consider “sophisticated fakes”
was generally small and thus not nearly a major problem.
Counterfeits were usually purchased by those with little
experience, while the “vets” generally had access to ample
amounts of real pharmaceuticals.
Fast-forward to today. Legitimate drug channels are much tighter
than they were 15–20 years ago. Large-scale diversion is much
less common. Steroid counterfeiting has become a huge
international business, necessary to fill the huge gaps in
supply. Counterfeiting labs usually have the same type of highly
sophisticated printing and packaging equipment that the real
drug companies are using. The fakes often look very good (too
good). Unfortunately, this can make spotting them extremely
difficult. Therefore, I do need to preface these methods with
the basic fact that counterfeiting is getting harder and harder
to deal with every day. Simple at-home detection methods will
not protect you 100 percent of the time.
Nevertheless, these five checks can help you spot a great many
counterfeits, especially the more basic (cheaply put-together)
ones.
1. Check the company.
Today, a great many products are made by known underground labs.
They often use very “pharmaceutical sounding” names for these
companies. Often, however, the name doesn’t correlate to an
actual real company. If you can’t find the website and office
location for the manufacturer of a steroid product, it probably
means it isn’t legitimate.
2. Check the dates.
Lot number and expiration dates remain a common place where
counterfeiters mess up. They often print these dates with the
rest of the box and don’t stamp or computer label the boxes
individually (it costs extra money and takes time). If you
examine the lot number and expiration date under a microscope (a
small handheld microscope is usually fine), it should be clear
that it was added to the box later, not at the time of printing.
The latest (10th) edition of ANABOLICS has a nice section on
this with detailed pictures.
3. Check the seals.
Real pharmaceutical products are well sealed to keep out air and
bacteria. Underground and counterfeit products sometimes use
handheld sealing equipment. Vials closed in this manner are
often not properly sealed. The top and stopper may turn easily
with a little pressure, sometimes even to the point of being
worked off the vial by hand. If the top seems loose at all, you
probably don’t have a real product.
4. Check the format.
Most legitimate drug products come in push-through plastic
blisters (tablets) and sealed single-use glass ampules
(injections). Counterfeiters often make multi-dose vials and
bottles of loose pills, because they are much cheaper to make
and take up less room when storing or shipping. You should be
very suspicious of any container that holds multiple doses.
5. Do your research.
The most important thing to do is know exactly what the real
drug product in question should look like. Try to locate a
picture of a known legitimate steroid product of the same name.
We have over 3,000 pictures in the ANABOLICS 10th edition. The
main purpose is to give readers a baseline to compare their
products to. If something looks “off” with your product when you
hold it next to the picture in the book, it probably is.
Most importantly of all, you should be prepared to walk away
from any steroid purchase. I talk to many guys who are so
anxious to find “anything” in the AAS realm that they wind up
taking big risks with uncertain products. Look at this as if it
were one big game, but one with serious consequences. The
counterfeiters are everywhere. They want to take your money, and
offer unsterile (potentially dangerous) products in return. Let
this be someone else’s problem, not yours. If something just
doesn’t seem right to you, there is probably a good reason for
it. Your subconscious may be noticing things that don’t
immediately stand out to your conscious mind. It’s much better
to walk away from a few good steroid products in the name of
caution than it is to take chances with fakes. Be safe.
