Help on Anavar

Brand Name: Anavar; Generic name: Oxandrolone

Effective dosage: 30mg/day; Active half life (?) : 9 Hours

Anavar is a much safer drug in comparison with other androgenic anabolic steroids. Anavar is a combination of Oxandrolone, with other trace minerals. Basically Oxandrolone is a class I anabolic, mild androgenic steroid that makes it very good to use in many cases, rather than other highly toxic steroids. It is also HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis) safe, which makes it a very mild and safe steroid. As it is an anabolic steroid, it aromatizes but does not convert to DHT.

Anavar, like all other anabolic steroids, is used to cure patients with excessive weight loss, or people suffering from osteoporosis. This drug is helpful for patients with burns and muscular injuries. Oxandrolone is widely used to help cure burns and reduce the amount of time patients are required to stay in hospital. It recovers mass and weight and also replenishes muscles in the body. This drug is good for osteoporosis as well, as it provides calcium to the body, which is good for bone build up. There is one more interesting fact about Anavar, and that concerns “fat loss”. Anavar helps to burn excessive fat in body, and also helps to put on weight through muscle gain. It is the best choice for persons who have been facing body or bone pain due to osteoporosis, and it is also not liver toxic as it does not disturb the hormonal cycle in the body.

Anavar is mild if it is taken as small doses; large doses can cause liver problems and many other issues such as abnormal sex drive, deepening of the voice, bleeding, acne, hair growth and many other sex-hormone related problems. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take smaller doses of Anavar prescribed only by a physician. In some cases it is also observed that Anavar causes mild gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, headache, loose and light colored stools, stomach irritation and pain, and in severe cases, diarrhea.
