Oxandrolone: 87% Unique Content General Information: Drug name: Oxandrolone Drug class: Anabolic / androgenic steroids Common brand names: Oxandrolone, Oxandrolone SPA, Oxan, Bonavar Common drug quantity: Tablets: 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg Use and effective range: Applications: women, quality, strength, diet / competition Anabolic components: medium Androgenic components: low Dose range and duration of use: Beginners: 15-30mg / day Hobby: 20-40mg / day Professional range: 30-60mg / day Women: 10-25mg / day Application period: 6-8 Weeks Active-Life: 8-12 hours Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (Oral) Average Reported Dosage: Men 15-60 mg daily / Women 10-25 mg daily Acne: Only when istered in high dosages Water Retention: Rare High Blood Pressure: Rare Liver Toxic: Yes, c17-alfa-alkylated steroid. Due to low dosages toxicity is low-moderate Aromatization: None DHT conversion: Quite low Decreases HPTA function: Unlikely even in high dosage use Oxandrolone is often refered to as an all purpose oral AAS, a drug once marketed under the product name of Anavar. It has the unique capacity of significantly stimulating (more than other AAS) the synthesis of phosphocreatine in muscle cells which in turn provides faster regeneration of, and a distinct elevation in, ATP. To some extent all AAS have this effect. Oxandrolone is simply unequaled in this aspect. Due to this quality, a rapid build-up in strength was frequently reported and an obvious distinct hardness in muscle was obtained with little weight gain and no aromatization. Although it is a common belief that Oxandrolone is not very anabolic, a medical study showed a 44% increase in muscle cell protein synthesis after only 5 days of istration. Due to the fact that Oxandrolone does not aromatize to estrogen, reports of water retention are practically inexistent and gyno was of no concern. For the same reason during dieting phases fat deposits are “burned away” more quickly, especially when the drug is co-istered with Clenbuterol. Oxandrolone is reported to stack well with mass steroids such as testosterone or with high anabolic/moderate androgenic steroids such as Equipoise or Nandrolones. Individuals over 40 have reported excellent results by stacking 15-25 mg of Oxandrolone daily with 200-400 mg of Deca.
Males have achieved a very hard pre-contest appearance when stacked with Oxandrolone and Halotestin if a estrogen/progesterone receptor antagonist had been utilized as well. The drug was originally manufactured to be used by women to prevent osteoporosis and for children as a cure for stunted growth; the low androgenic quality prevents almost all virilization for women in dosages of 15-mg daily or less. Oxandrolone does not suppress any part of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes axis (HPTA), meaning that the drug by itself will not significantly suppress natural testosterone production. For that reason it was not uncommon for some athletes to report post-cycle HPTA regeneration protocols that included this drug.
