My girlfriend is 42 years old.
She's not overweight. She trains regularly for herself. She does not participate in competitions.
I will be very grateful if girls will share their experience of using drugs for general strengthening and for the beauty of skin, hair and figure in general.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Hi Alex!!!
Very very respectfully…
Just want to say this carefully and with respect: with women, hormone-related stuff can go from “I feel a bit better” to a
full-on nightmare surprisingly fast if it’s not handled with real structure, bloodwork, and close monitoring.
Even when a woman isn’t overweight, trains consistently, and has no competitive goals, hormones are still a very delicate system. Small changes can ripple into mood, sleep, anxiety, libido, water retention, skin issues, menstrual disruption, hair shedding, acne, breast tenderness, and sometimes long-lasting changes that are not easy to undo. And it’s not only about “virilization” type effects, it’s also about thyroid, prolactin, insulin sensitivity, and the stress axis. A lot of people underestimate how quickly things can drift when you’re trying to improve “general wellness” or cosmetics with drugs.
That’s why I’d strongly say: if the goal is general strengthening and better skin, hair, and physique, this is not something to crowdsource as “what did you use?” and then copy. The same compound and dose that feels mild for one woman can wreck another one, especially if she has underlying issues like borderline thyroid function, low ferritin, low vitamin D, poor sleep, high stress, or subtle cycle irregularities. Without baseline labs and follow-ups, you’re basically flying blind, and by the time symptoms show up, you’re already behind.
If she is seriously considering anything pharmacological, the minimum responsible approach is,
creating her own account and:
- Baseline bloodwork before touching anything.
- Clear plan and a reason for each intervention.
- Follow-up bloodwork and symptom tracking.
- A hard “stop rule” if markers or symptoms shift.
Because “beauty of skin/hair” is usually driven by fundamentals first: calories not too low, protein adequate, stable carbs, iron and ferritin, thyroid status, sleep quality, stress management, and consistent training with recovery. If those pieces are off, adding drugs often just masks the problem for a few weeks and then creates a new one.
If you want people to give useful feedback (even general, non-prescriptive feedback), it would help a lot if you share a bit more detail about her, because “42, trains, not overweight” can still mean 10 very different profiles.
Could you add:
- Height, weight, estimated body fat
- Training style and frequency (strength, cardio, mixed) and how long she’s trained consistently
- Her specific goals (for example: more muscle in glutes, tighter waist, skin glow, hair density, energy, recovery, libido, etc.)
- Any history of acne, hair thinning, PCOS symptoms, irregular cycles, heavy periods, or menopause/perimenopause signs
- Current contraception or hormone use (if any)
- Any recent bloodwork (even basic panels) and whether she has issues like low ferritin/iron, thyroid abnormalities, high cholesterol, or insulin resistance
- Supplements she already uses and how her diet is structured
Also worth noting: at 42, a lot of women are entering perimenopause territory, even if they feel fine. That alone can change how they respond to “enhancement” approaches, and it’s another reason why having labs and an actual plan matters more than ever.
So yes, it’s totally fair to ask for experiences, but I’d frame it like: “What did you do, what were your baseline labs, what did you monitor, what side effects did you watch for, and what would you never repeat?” That’s the kind of info that actually helps and doesn’t lead someone into trouble.
If you drop her basic stats and her exact goals, people can at least point you toward safer, more sensible directions and what to test before even thinking about anything hormonal.
In case this happens, probably
@BellaMasculine could drop some insights, otherwise (and I would like to finish as I have started), very very respectfully… keep her as safe as possible.

It's very individual, people react very differently to these things, but these are considered quite safe and have a lower androgenic load than others. The good thing is that it's much cheaper for us because we require lower doses.
