Description
What is Blackstone Labs Chosen1?
Blackstone Labs Chosen1 is a 1-DHEA (1-Andro) prohormone supplement sold in 60-tablet bottles. Each tablet delivers a 65 mg 1-DHEA blend that the body converts in two steps into 1-testosterone, a non-aromatizing derivative of testosterone. It is used by experienced adult male lifters for lean, dry muscle gains, strength and recovery during a 4 to 8 week cycle, with no estrogen conversion and no water retention.† One bottle is a 30-day supply at the label dose of 1 tablet twice daily ($84.95 per bottle, about $2.83 per day). Chosen1 is the #1 best seller in Blackstone Labs and DHEA at Tiger Fitness, rated 4.7 out of 5 by 79 verified buyers.

How Chosen1 works
Chosen1 (1-DHEA) is not an anabolic steroid. It is a precursor: 1-DHEA converts first to 1-androstenediol, then to 1-testosterone. 1-testosterone differs from natural testosterone only by a double bond isomer, is considered more potent on a milligram basis, and has an anabolic to androgenic ratio of about 1:2. Because it is a DHT derivative it cannot aromatize into estrogen, which is why users report drier gains, hardness and vascularity instead of the bloat and water retention that come with wet bulking compounds.†
Three things set the Blackstone Labs version apart from a generic 1-Andro:
- Three esters in one tablet. The 65 mg blend uses a free form plus undecanoate and caprylate esters for fast, medium and slow release, so 1-DHEA levels stay elevated between your AM and PM doses.
- Liposomal delivery. Phosphatidylcholine and cyclodextrin protect the compound through digestion so more of it survives first-pass metabolism.
- Non-methylated. Chosen1 is not 17-alpha-alkylated, so it does not carry the liver stress associated with methylated designer compounds. On-cycle organ support is still recommended.
Benefits users report†
- Lean, dry muscle gains with no bloating or water retention
- Increased strength, typically noticed in week two of the cycle
- Faster recovery between hard training sessions
- Muscle hardness and vascularity
- More drive and aggression in the gym
- No estrogen conversion and not liver toxic
- Legal to buy and use in the United States as a dietary supplement
How to take Blackstone Labs Chosen1
Take 1 tablet twice per day with food, one in the morning and one in the afternoon or evening. Do not exceed 2 tablets per day. Run Chosen1 for 4 to 8 weeks, then take at least 4 weeks off. Most users feel strength and hardness changes in the second week, with the most visible results at weeks 4 to 6, so many buy two bottles for a full 8-week cycle. Take the second dose at least 6 hours before bed if you are sensitive to stimulation.
Recommended cycle support
- On cycle: Blackstone Labs Gear Support for liver, heart and blood pressure support while you run Chosen1.
- Post cycle: Blackstone Labs PCT V for 4 weeks after your last dose to restore natural testosterone output and hold on to your gains.
- Stacking: Chosen1 is commonly stacked with Blackstone Labs Abnormal (19-Nor DHEA) for size, or Brutal 4ce (4-DHEA) for strength and mass. See our Prohormones & Andros collection.

Blackstone Labs Chosen1 FAQ
Is Chosen1 a steroid?
No. Chosen1 contains 1-DHEA, a naturally occurring DHEA isomer that is exempt from the Anabolic Steroid Control Act and sold legally as a dietary supplement in the US. It is a prohormone, meaning your body converts it to 1-testosterone; the tablet itself is not a steroid.
How much 1-DHEA is in Chosen1?
65 mg of 1-DHEA blend per tablet, or 130 mg per day at the label dose of 2 tablets. The blend combines three esters of 1-androstene-3b-ol,17-one for extended release.
Do I need a PCT after Chosen1?
Yes. Any prohormone cycle suppresses natural testosterone production to some degree. Run a post cycle therapy product such as Blackstone Labs PCT V for 4 weeks after your last dose. On-cycle support such as Gear Support is also recommended.
How long does it take for Chosen1 to work?
Most reviewers report strength and hardness changes in week 2, with the most visible lean mass changes at weeks 4 to 6. Results depend on training, protein intake and body fat; users above roughly 20% body fat tend to see less from any 1-Andro product.
How long should a Chosen1 cycle be?
4 to 8 weeks, followed by at least 4 weeks off plus PCT. One bottle covers 30 days, so an 8-week cycle requires two bottles.
Does Chosen1 cause water retention or gyno?
No. 1-DHEA does not aromatize to estrogen, so it does not cause the water retention or estrogen-related side effects associated with wet bulking compounds. That is why Chosen1 is used for cutting and lean bulking phases.
Is Chosen1 liver toxic?
Chosen1 is non-methylated, so it does not carry the liver strain of 17-alpha-alkylated compounds. Liver support is still recommended on any hormonal cycle.
Can I stack Chosen1 with Abnormal or Brutal 4ce?
Yes. Chosen1 plus Abnormal (19-Nor DHEA) is Blackstone's Fire & Power stack for mass and strength; Chosen1 plus Brutal 4ce (4-DHEA) is the Fire & Ice lean bulk stack. Follow the label dose on each product and use Gear Support and PCT V with any stack.
Can women take Chosen1?
No. Chosen1 is formulated for adult men only. Women should not use 1-DHEA products.
Will Chosen1 show up on a drug test?
Yes. 1-DHEA and 1-testosterone metabolites are prohibited by WADA, the NCAA and most athletic commissions. Do not use Chosen1 if you are a tested athlete.
