Anavar

Subname: Oxandrolone 10mg

Contents: 10mg/tab of Oxandrolone (100 tablets)

Chemical name: 17?-hydroxy-17?-methyl-2-oxa-5?-androstan-3-one

Side Effects: Because dihydrotestosterone is unable to interact with the aromatase enzyme and is therefore unable to undergo aromatization (conversion) to estrogen, oxandrolone shares this important characteristic. Its inability to aromatize to estrogen translates into the complete elimination of the potential for any and all estrogenic and estrogen-related side effects. Oxandrolone is alkylated at the 17th carbon atom of its steroid structure (properly known as C17-alpha methylation or alkylation) to bypass liver metabolism and allow it to enter the bloodstream to do its job. Unfortunately, C17-alpha alkylation of oral anabolic steroids is known to express varying degrees of liver toxicity, but oxandrolone has demonstrated far less liver toxicity than most other C17-alpha alkylated oral anabolic steroids. It is important, however, to understand that oxandrolone is not free from potential liver toxicity and that caution should still be exercised regarding its use in this regard.

Administration: The original prescribing guidelines for Oxandrolone were between 2.5 mg and 20 mg per day (with 5-10 mg being most common). It was usually recommended for a period of two to four weeks, but was occasionally taken for up to three months. The usual dosage for physique or performance enhancement purposes is in the range of 15-25 mg per day, taken for 6-8 weeks. These protocols are not far removed from those of normal therapeutic situations.

Details: Oxandrolone is an oral anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. It was designed to have a very strong separation of anabolic and androgenic effects, and no significant estrogenic or progestational activity. Oxandrolone is known to be a fairly mild compound compared to other oral steroids. It was designed to promote gains in strength and quality muscle tissue without significant side effects. Milligram for milligram, it exhibits up to six times the anabolic activity of testosterone in assays, with significantly less androgenicity. This drug is a favorite of dieting bodybuilders and competitive athletes in anaerobic speed/performance sports, where its tendency for pure tissue gain (without fat or water retention) lends itself well to their desired goals. Oxandrolone has a modification at carbon number two, where this second carbon is replaced by an oxygen atom, hence the ox prefix in the name Oxandrolone. This replacement of a carbon atom with an oxygen atom is also what is believed to increase the anabolic capabilities of Oxandrolone to great degrees over its parent hormone, Dihydrotestosterone.
