Anavar was the old U.S. brand name for the oral steroid oxandrolone, first
produced in 1964 by the drug manufacturer Searle. Anavar
was designed as an extremely mild anabolic, one that could even be safely
used as a growth stimulant in children. One immediately thinks of the
standard worry, "steroids will stunt growth". But it is actually the
excess estrogen produced by most steroids that is the culprit, just as it
is the reason why women stop growing sooner and have a shorter average
stature than men. Oxandrolone will not aromatize, and therefore the
anabolic effect of the Anavar
can actually promote linear growth. Women usually
tolerate
Anavar
well at low doses, and at one time
Anavar
was prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Anavar is a mild anabolic with low androgenic activity.
Anavar
reduced androgenic activity has much to due with the fact that it is a
derivative of dihydrotestosterone. Although you might think at first
glance this would make it a more androgenic steroid, it in fact creates a
steroid that is less androgenic because it is already "5-alpha reduced".
In other words, it lacks the capacity to interact with the 5-alpha
reductase enzyme and convert to a more potent "dihydro" form. It is a
simply matter of where a steroid is capable of being potentiated in the
body, and with oxandrolone we do not have the same potential as
testosterone, which is several times more active in androgen responsive
tissues compared to muscle tissue due to its conversion to DHT. It essence
oxandrolone has a balanced level of potency in both muscle and androgenic
target tissues such as the scalp, skin and prostate. This is a similar
situation as is noted with Primobolan and
Winstrol, which are also derived from dihydrotestosterone yet not
known to be very androgenic substances.
Anavar
is known as a good agent for the promotion of strength and duality muscle
mass gains, although the mild nature of this compound makes it less than
ideal for bulking purposes. Among bodybuilders
Anavar
is most commonly used during cutting phases of training when water
retention is a concern. The standard dosage for men is in the range of
15-25mg (6-10 tablets) per day, a level that should produce noticeable
results. It can be further combined with anabolics like
Primobolan and Winstrol to elicit a harder,
more defined look without added water retention. Such combinations are
very popular and can dramatically enhance the show physique. One can also
add strong non-aromatizing androgens like Proviron.
In this case the androgen really helps to harden up the muscles, while at
the same time making conditions more favorable for fat reduction. Some
athletes do choose to incorporate oxandrolone into bulking stacks. but
usually with standard bulking drugs like testosterone or
Dianabol. The usual goal in this instance is an additional gain of
strength, as well as more quality look to the androgen bulk. Women who
fear the masculinizing effects of many steroids would be quite comfortable
using this drug, as this is very rarely seen with low doses. Here a daily
dosage of 5mg should illicit considerable growth without the noticeable
androgenic side effects of other drugs. Eager females may wish to addition
mild anabolics like Winstrol or
Primobolan. When combined with such anabolics, the user should notice
faster, more pronounced muscle-building effects, but may also increase the
likelihood of androgenic buildup.
Studies using low dosages
Anavar
note minimal interferences with natural testosterone production. Likewise
when
Anavar
is used alone in small amounts there is typically no need for ancillary
drugs like Clomid/Nolvadex.
This has a lot to do with the fact that
Anavar
does not convert to estrogen, which we know has an extremely profound
effect on endogenous hormone production. Without estrogen to trigger
negative feedback, we seem to note a higher threshold before inhibition is
noted. But at higher dosages of course, a suppression of natural
testosterone levels will still occur with this drug as with any
anabolic/androgenic steroid.
This makes clear that while estrogen is important in this regard, androgen
action triggers feedback inhibition as well. In the context of the average
bodybuilder using this steroid at a level to promote growth, we would
probably expect that maintaining a normal level of endogenous testosterone
release would likewise be very difficult.
