Winstrol, of the generic compound stanozolol, is available both as an oral and injectable anabolic steroid. Its injectable version, Winstrol Depot, has a remarkable difference over other injectable steroids because it does not have an ester and it is sold as an aqueous suspension.

A stand-alone Winstrol cycle can yield impressive gains. The effective dosage for oral Winny is 50mg-100mg per day. For Winstrol Depot dosage is 300-500mg per week.

This anabolic steroid displays high affinity the sex hormone-binding globulin, or SHBG. This property, in effect, results to synergistic effects of anabolic steroids that are stacked in a cycle. When Winstrol binds with the SHBG, it allows other steroid hormones to be in ‘free’ state thereby increasing anabolism in the body. Winstrol, however, does not have strong affinity with androgen receptors, thus it is known more of an anabolic steroid for strength gains rather than mass gains. For impressive muscle mass gains, this anabolic steroid is better stacked with testosterone esters, Anadrol or Dianabol.

Both versions of this anabolic steroid are alpha-alkylated which means that they can be hepatotoxic, especially if taken in high dosages and prolonged cycles. The legal compound milk thistle is commonly used to prevent liver damage when taking anabolic steroids. Milk thistle reportedly has protective effects on the liver.
