Anavar
(Oxandrolone)
One of the mildest and perhaps the most efficiently
well-tolerated anabolic steroid on the market Oxandrolone has
become very popular among performance enhancers, especially in
the female community but remains a staple in the treatment of
many muscle wasting diseases. Originally developed in 1964 by
Searle Laboratories, (absorbed by Pfizer in 2003)the same
manufacturer who brought us other well-known items such as
Celebrex, Ambien, Dramamine and NutraSweet, Oxandrolone hit the
shelves under the trade name Anavar and has been a favorite of
many ever since. While Anavar is not a very powerful steroid,
milligram for milligram it is one of the weakest ever made, it
holds the distinction as being the most side-effect friendly
with the strong majority of effects being only of a positive
nature.
Anavar 101:
A member of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) family, Anavar is
comprised of the active hormone Oxandrolone and possesses only a
very slight androgenic nature; so slight it is almost
non-existent but it is with its mild anabolic nature that many
find use for this particular hormone. By design Anavar is a C17
alpha-alkylated (17-aa) anabolic steroid simply meaning the 17th
carbon position has been altered in order to allow the
medication to survive the first pass through the liver; without
the 17-aa characteristic the medication would prove to be
useless, as is common with most oral anabolic androgenic
steroids. However, by its design Anavar is able to survive
ingestion and enter into the blood stream where it becomes
active and performs its varying functions within the body. As
the 17-aa alteration is necessary for the hormones survival it
is not without its disadvantages as this slight alteration is
toxic to the liver; however, it is very important to note the
toxicity of a particular 17-aa steroid will vary from one to the
next and in the case of Anavar we have a 17-aa of a very mild
toxic nature. Anavar is so mild in-terms of liver toxicity most
who supplement or medicate with the Oxandrolone hormone
experience little to no increases in liver enzyme readings
during their period of use and any elevation will generally
return to normal once use is discontinued.
As an oral anabolic steroid, once ingested Anavar becomes active
within the blood very rapidly, as is a very common trait among
most oral anabolic steroids and especially those who carry with
them a DHT nature. While initial activity is very fast total
active duration is consequently very short as Anavar only
possesses a half-life of approximately 9 hours making frequent
dosing a necessity. With a 9 hour half-life most will find a
twice daily administration of the hormone to be optimal if peak
levels of the hormone are to be maintained within the blood. No,
twice daily administration is not an outright necessity, once
daily can still provide many benefits and many women whose doses
will be fairly low often opt for this route, as well as many
clinical patients. However, it is when we enter the world of
male performance enhancement that multiple dosing per day proves
to be more efficient, especially when we consider most men
require a large amount to reap any reward.
The Benefits of Anavar:
Perhaps the greatest benefit revolving around the Oxandrolone
hormone is its ability to treat muscle wasting diseases such as
aids as it will greatly stave off muscle disintegration that is
both common with such ailments and often one that causes a
devastating end. Anavar can also be very useful in the treatment
of burn victims enabling them to regain lost tissue but in some
cases it may prove to not be enough and stronger anabolics are
needed. While its medical purposes remain very simple, in the
world of performance enhancement Anavar is not so cut-and-dry;
in-fact, for the male performance enhancer looking to bulk up in
size this is perhaps the last option he should ever consider.
No, Anavar will not provide massive piles of muscle but what
gains in size it does provide will be pure lean tissue and if
you understand anything about performance each pound of lean
tissue is worth its weight in gold. Even so, in the world of
performance enhancement Anavar holds distinct qualities in both
men and women but in many ways it is women who benefit the most,
so much so in many circles it is often referred to as The Girl
Steroid.
Without question the greatest benefit to the Oxandrolone steroid
is within its ability to preserve lean muscle tissue while
simultaneously increasing total metabolic activity. With that in
mind one can easily gather that during dieting or when intense
activity is a regular basis this will be when the hormone proves
to be the most useful. Anavar by its very nature greatly
preserves lean tissue and as hard dieting often risk the loss of
such tissue this trait is invaluable. Further and of equal
importance, the Oxandrolone hormone actively increases metabolic
efficiency, meaning the rate in-which we burn fat will be
increased. These two primary effects prove to be very useful,
especially when we consider them in total conjunction, for
example:
The more muscle tissue we have the greater our metabolism
Dieting risk the loss of muscle tissue
Anavar preserves muscle tissue
We now hold more muscle tissue while dieting, thereby
maintaining greater metabolism
While Anavars metabolic and tissue preserving qualities are
truly great, when we examine the hormone we can hardly say these
are the greatest traits of all. Beyond a shadow of a doubt it is
the hormones function within the female user that is such a
welcomed one; so much so we will discuss it in detail in its own
section below.
The Side-Effects of Anavar:
Anabolic Androgenic Steroids carry with them the potential for
negative or adverse side-effects, this much is true but when it
comes to Anavar the potential is low, very low. It is important
to understand, Potential does not mean guaranteed, it does not
mean the likelihood is great; it simply means a possibility
exists and this is the case with all medications of every
nature; when you buy anything at your local RX, from cough syrup
to Aspirin and everything in between there is a potential for
negative side-effects.
As it pertains to Anavar not only is this steroidal hormone very
side-effect friendly, as is with most anabolic steroids
side-effects are largely avoidable when responsible use is
implored. As abuse or mega dosing often increases risk ones
sensitivity to the hormone also plays a large role and this is
true with all things in life; some people cant take Tylenol
because it makes them sick, other take it every day; some people
cant eat eggs or they become deathly ill, while others eat eggs
every single day.
When we look at the side-effects of anabolic steroids in general
the first thing we notice is most are estrogenic in nature and
this is due to the conversion of estrogen in the body brought on
by the presence of the active hormone. If youre supplementing
with Anavar there is good news, Anavar does not possess this
trait, meaning, there is no estrogen conversion and such related
side-effects are non-existent. Why is this important? Because
there is no conversion process or what is better known as the
aromatase process there is no risk in Gynecomastia, water
retention, there are fewer risk in-terms of blood pressure and
cholesterol and to top it off only a mild suppression of natural
testosterone production. As we understand anabolic steroids
suppress natural testosterone production, many suppress it to
such a strong degree that its non-existent when the hormones are
being used. Keep in mind, while Anavar does not suppress
testosterone greatly it still suppresses it and if a man were to
supplement with Anavar for the purpose of performance
enhancement he will necessarily supplement with quite a bit
thereby decreasing natural testosterone production quite
handedly.
Anavar and Women:
The Girl Steroid is this really a true or fair name? Sure, men
can supplement with Anavar and do so successfully but when we
consider the limited nature of anabolic steroids women can use
and how well they tolerate and respond to Anavar then absolutely
The Girl Steroid is the perfect name. The majority of anabolic
androgenic steroids have strong virilization effects when taken
by women that can range from deepened vocal chords, body-hair
growth and clitoral enlargement to name a few. Obviously these
are not welcomed traits as they are in the face of a womans very
femininity but with Anavar these traits simply do not exist when
responsible use is implored; in-fact, most all women will find
the steroid to be side-effect free.
As it is so well-tolerated many female athletes around the world
supplement with the hormone but unlike men many women have found
a very suitable bulking agent in the Anavar hormone; while mild
most women simply require a lessened boost if you will to see
phenomenal gains. However, it is in the world of competitive
physique sports that is perhaps this particular steroids
greatest and most welcomed home, as it is not only a favorite
but in many cases an outright necessity to the majority of
bodybuilding, figure, fitness and even many bikini competitors.
Anavar Cycles and Doses:
While Anavar will never be our primary recommended steroid for
most men they can use it successfully and it can be quite useful
especially when dieting; however, due to its mild nature most
men will require a large amount and as it is one of the more
expensive steroids on the market this can prove to be often
inefficient. In any case, most men will find 50mg per day to be
the perfect starting point and in most cases this should be
viewed as a minimum dosing but the majority of men will reap
very little reward until they approach 80mg per day. Keep in
mind, Anavar normally comes in 10mg tablets and often $2 per
tablet is considered a good deal; as you can see, this can get
very expensive.
As we have discussed women are far more sensitive to the
steroids attributes and therefore require far less; most women
will find 10mg per day to be the perfect dose and often all the
Anavar they ever need with 20mg being a good rule of thumb
in-terms of maximal dose. While 20mg can be used safely we do
not recommend you start there as while side-effects may indeed
be very mild its always best to play it safe; besides, if you
can get all you need out of 10mg then upping the dose proves to
be pointless and simply a waste.
In either case, both men and women, Anavar can be used for far
longer than most oral anabolic steroids due to its low liver
toxicity rating and further as it does not appear to taper off
in benefit as fast as many other oral anabolic steroids. The
majority of Anavar users will supplement for 6-8 weeks but
longer durations of 12 weeks are not uncommon, especially during
female contest preparation time. Keep in mind, the leaner you
are the greater the results will be, meaning, they will be far
more pronounced; for this reason most women will choose Anavar
during the latter half of their diet to reap the greatest re
