One of the major
reasons that we publish these online articles about different
anabolic steroids
that are available today is to inform people about the potential ups
and downs of steroid use. The fact is, there are many
side
effects of steroids from oral anabolics such as dianabol and
anevar to some of the more classic stand-bys such as
sustanon,
all steroids have different efficacies and create different results in
everyone.
Anavar
(
oxandrolone)
is everyone’s favorite oral cutting anabolic steroid. It produces
clean, high quality gains in strength, and a very distinct hardening
effect on the physique of the user. Really, I have to say, I love this
stuff, although I’ve only used it twice. The only drawback is that it’s
a very expensive chemical to produce. It’s also not overly toxic
despite being an oral steroid, it doesn’t produce many side effects at
all, and is relatively mild on the natural endocrine system (for a
steroid, that is). You’re not going to gain much, if any bodyweight
from Anavar, but what you do gain will be very nice looking muscle, and
little if any weight gain in the way of water.

Anavar
Unfortunately, it needs to be dosed rather highly if it’s being used
alone (which I don’t recommend). Even daily doses of up to 80mgs/day
don’t cause many side effects. (1) This makes it very popular, and I
suspect we would barely see a cycle without it, if it were less
expensive. For precontest bodybuilding preparation and athletes looking
to remain in a particular weight class while still moving up in
strength, Anavar is typically drug of choice. Despite the need for
relatively high doses, it would seem that gains from Anavar hang around
for awhile, or at for at least 6 months after you stop taking it(2).
It’s used clinically for AIDS related wasting(1) and even in recovery
routines for burn victims (2). It’s often the only drug used precontest
for female figure and fitness competitors. This is due to the fact that
virilization is not much of a concern with it, as it is only very
mildly androgenic (3), and highly anabolic. Men almost never report
side effects from it, and in women, the most commonly reported side
effect is a temporarily enlarged clitoris (called “var-clit” in locker
room slang).
Since it is an orally modified version of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it
has been modified in such a way to allow it to survive first pass
metabolism through the liver. Despite this fact, it is very rare that
hepatotoxic (liver toxic) side effects are ever noticed and/or
reported. Also, since it is a derivative of DHT, it is structurally
incapable of converting to estrogen, so users who may be sensitive to
gynocomastia or water retention don’t really have to worry about that
problem arising.
With regards to its use in a precontest phase or a cutting cycle, it
seems to have profound effects on both abdominal and visceral fat
elimination. (4) This certainly makes it very useful for anyone
interested in competing in bodybuilding, staying in a weight class, or
even just looking good for beach season. It’s certainly got a well
deserved reputation for helping people achieve all of those goals.
Anavar is widely available on the black market, but prices fluctuate
widely, as does presentation. Several pharmaceutical houses produce it
in tablet form, as do a couple of veterinary companies. In the
underground, it’s available mostly in liquid oral form and capsules,
and of course as a high quality paper anabolic.
