Side Effects of Super Mastervol
Super Mastervol is marketed at Paramount Supplements as a muscle-building dietary supplement typically used by bodybuilders to build lean muscle bulk. Containing 10 mg Methasterone, also referred to as Superdrol by Super Bodybuilding Web, Super Mastervol is an oral, nonprescription supplement that functions like an anabolic steroid in the body. It subsequently produces many of the same results and side effects.

Function
-
Testosterone produces lean muscles in both men and women. Listed by Wiley Online as a designer anabolic steroid, the main ingredient in Super Mastervol, known as Methasterone, functions as a steroid. Steroids are simply synthetic versions of the male hormone testosterone, notes Watton. These testosterone substitutes are produced to help the body increase the growth of muscle, and to make that new growth leaner and stronger.
Physical Side Effects
-
Moderate or severe acne can be a side effect of steroid use. Since Super Mastervol's key ingredient Methasterone functions as an anabolic steroid, the possible physical side effects can be similar. Watton lists the possible physical side effects of steroids as trembling of the extremities, fluid retention or bloating, liver tumors, severe acne on the face, back and chest, and even jaundice. In men it can reduce sperm count, cause breast tissue growth, shrink testicles or cause baldness. Women using steroids can experience the growth of facial hair and deepening of the voice, irregular menstrual cycles and enlarging of the clitoris.

Psychological Warnings
-
Mood swings ranging from anger to depression can be a side effect of steroid use. Chief psychological side effects of steroids and designer steroids can include mood swings, aggression and depression, cautions Watton. Nervous paranoia and anxiety can increase when the steroids elevate your blood pressure and put an added strain on your heart. While experts at Watton indicate that users typically feel good while on the steroid substance, when they cycle off the product, the psychological side effects can occur.
Expert Insight
-
Similar to the stimulation of caffeine in coffee, steroids can disturb regular sleep patterns. Physical symptoms of someone who may be using an anabolic steroid or designer steroid can include aggression, bad breath, bloating, acne, trouble sleeping and a yellowing of the skin or eyes, indicates Watton. Users who display mood swings or noticeable aggression can be at risk for episodes of extreme violence or suicidal depression, and may require medical intervention.
Athletic Implications
-
Methosterone users can fail drug tests required by many professional athletic associations. In a June 2008 article on Wiley's Online library, experts caution supplement users and, more specifically, sport-related supplement users about possible cross-contamination of stimulant substances, prohibited in many sports, in many supplements. The article notes that Methasterone is considered a designer steroid and can appear in athlete drug testing as a possible "doping" substance. Regardless of the product labeling, athletes taking a supplement containing Methasterone can fail mandatory drug testing.
