Blackstone Chosen1 Prohormone: The Definitive Guide to The Ultimate Lean Muscle & Cutting Prohormone

Everything You Need to Know About Chosen1

Blackstone Labs Chosen1 has a reputation for being one of the driest and most long lasting prohormones on the market, however it's often overlooked as 1-Andros like Hi-Tech 1-Testosterone and 1-AD have often garnered more attention. With Hi-Tech removing 1-Testosterone and 1-AD from the market, it leaves Blackstone Labs Chosen1 as the last solo 1-Andro Prohormone standing and it's been getting a lot more attention from customers who are discovering they love this product. 

If you're looking for lean hard gains without water retention, Chosen1 definitely deserves a look. It's also a great beginner or starter prohormone as it's a single ingredient and moderately dosed. In this post we'll be covering the science behind Blackstone Labs Chosen1, how to properly use it, the benefits, and stacking options. 

What is Chosen1?

Chosen1 is a two step converting prohormone which has been on the market since 2017. It's desiend for bodybuidlers, athletes and fitness enthusiasts who are looking to gain muscle with testosterone like effects but with a significantly drier outcome ie without the water retention or that "wet" or "puffy" look many prohormone users don't like. 

Chosen1 is derived from 1-DHEA (1-Androsterone) and the final conversion results in it being converted into 1-Tesosterone. The result is a compound which is intended to be drier, leaner and harder than standard testosterone. 

How Chosen1 Works

All anabolic compounds are an analog or derivative of one of the four natural androgen hormones. Chosen1's pathway to becoming active is a two step conversion process which occurs primarily in the liver. Step 1, the starting compound, 1-DHEA, enters the body and conerts into 1-Andro or 1-Androstenedione at the liver. Step 2, on its way to the androgen receptor the 1-Andro compound picks up both a ketone and a hdyroxy group forcing it to convert into tis final highly potent form 1-Testosterone. This final 1-Testosterone has an anbolic-androgenic ratio of 200:100

• Anabolic (Muscle Building): This ratio means its twice as likely to lead to muscle gains
• Androgenic (Masculinizing): This ratio means its twice as likely to masculinize features such as hardening of the jawline or deepening of the voice. 

Blackstone Labs Chosen1 Contains a Triple Ester Blend

While Chosen1 is lower dosed than Hi-Tech's 1-Testosterone, its power lies in its use of three different esters attached to the 1-Andro compound which in total comes to 65mg per capsule.

Ester Type	Release Profile	Benefit
No Ester	Rapid Faster Effects	Quickest Initial Benefits
Caproate	Moderate Release Time	Balanced Sustained Effects
Undecanoate	Slow & Sustained Release	Ensures Prolonged Lasting Activity

The synergistic effects of these three esters creates even more and prolonged release into the bloodstream which has an advantage over compounds that only use a single short or medium ester. 

Key Benefits of Using Blackstone Labs Chosen1

Because Chosen1 is a derivative of DHT, it has unique benefits that make it ideal for specific goals

• Not Methylated ie Will Not Place Strain on Liver
• No Estrogenic Side Effects So No Aromatization or Water Retention
• Increased Muscle Mass & Enhanced Strength
• Improved Recovery Time & Energy Levels
• Improved Mind to Muscle Connection
• Increased Aggression in the Gym & Libido Boost

Chosen1 is considered a "dry" prohormone and provides lean hard gains. For this reason its best utilized when striving or lean muscle and strength over size or for those cutting using it when in a calorie deficit. 

Chosen1 Dosing

Chosen1 is taken two capsules daily, one in the morning, most will take it with breakfast and one in the evening, most users will take it with dinner. While 4 or 8 week cycles can be run we recommend 8 week cycles. It normally takes about three weeks for a prohormone to kick in ie for you begin to see and feel the effects so 8 weeks is needed to really get the most out of your cycle. It should be noted some users find taking their second dose two late in the day can interfere with sleep. If you run into this issue try taking your second dose earlier in the day. 

Side Effects

While side effects are generally mild, a few to be aware of are dry joints which is a common side effect anytime DHT levels increase. Another side effect is lethargy and/or anxiety. DHT derivatives are known to cause these central nervous system effects. Some users may experience mild anxiety during their cycle. 

Cycle Support & Post Cycle Therapy

When it comes to cycle support and post cycle therapy every prohormone cycle requires a PCT. Following a cycle of Chosen1, Blackstone Labs PCT V is a popular PCT supplement from Blackstone Labs, however other popular options are available such as Hi-Tech Arimplex or Anarchy Labs Hard Target.

When it comes to on cycle support, this is completely optional, however some users will take liver support and/or cycle support supplements. While today's prohormones are non-methylated and not liver toxic, many users will play it extra safe and take Hi-Tech Liver-RX while on cycle. Blackstone Labs also makes another popular on cycle support supplement called Gear Support which is great for supporting your cycle, but again is optional.
