Synthol is liquid substance, usually a mixture of oils, used by a few bodybuilders to increase the apparent size of some muscles. The effects of synthol are purely and solely cosmetic. It is injected either under the skin or between the muscle fibers. There is some anecdotal evidence that it does promote future muscle growth by "making space" between groups of muscle fibers allowing them to fill the space with new muscle while the oil is reabsorbed into the body^{[citation needed]}. These claims, however, are unsubstantiated and not likely true.

Synthol works by filling the muscle up with an oil substance. It is site injected, that is, it is injected directly into the muscle that you want to increase. Synthol is really only used to 'top up' a muscle that is not quite up to standard with the rest of the body, and once the use of Synthol is stopped, all gains are lost, because the oil is soaked up into the muscle.

Synthol is not a testosterone, and does not contain steroids. It is purely oils that puff up a muscle to make it look like it had been trained hard.
