One of the first oral drugs to be produced by Raphael Pappo at Searle Laboratories, and classified as a Class-I anabolic steroid, the Anavar is the most side-effect free drug of all times and one of the most preferred among bodybuilders, athletes, recreational steroid users and mass gainers. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone with 2crbon atoms being replaced by an oxygen atom and methylation in position 17. The magazine “Muscle Media 2000” gave this steroid the highest rating based on the fact that it provided outstanding benefits for its low toxic levels (i.e., a good benefit to risk ratio). However, this steroid is often under-appreciated because of its weak impact on the user, especially when used alone. Most bodybuilders and athletes make a wrong comparison of this drug’s effectiveness with the level of intake and its output with that of other anabolic steroids.
A Performance Boosting Drug
The powerful therapeutic properties of this steroid provides a much needed pain relief from various problems but its capabilities to enhance performance levels is worth mentioning. The lean muscle mass that is gained from the use of this steroid is easier to hold on for longer time periods but its effects cannot be compared to that of other drugs like Dianabol or Anadrol. The response of women as compared to men are much more pronounced as regards the use of this drug and hence can be considered as an effective steroid for off-season bulking. Clinical studies have found the superior performance of this drug as compared to testosterone in case of abdominal fat reduction in men when charged with low doses. However, the difference in the results might be possibly due to the dosage level that was used in a cycle with anavar. This supplement is not only known for its soothing feelings but also because of its potency to improve muscular endurance which ultimately leads to the improvement in performance levels.
How to Take It
This drug is best consumed orally but some users prefer to crush the tablet to make a powder out of it and then mix it with a fluid for consumption. But this is generally not recommended as the purity of the steroid will be lost in a fluid base. Some recommend taking it with grapefruit juice which has positive impacts on many medications as such fluid reacts with Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptides (OATPs) and P-glycoprotein to increase the bio-availability of certain drugs. The standard recommended dosage for this steroid is 25-50mg per day for males and 5-20mg daily for females. Since this drug is known to have a half-life it is recommended to take multiple doses of it split in to a morning dose and a pre-workout dose. Blood thinner medicines like warfarin if used in a cycle with anavar can have negative impacts, so it is better to consult a doctor before making such interactions. Scientific research works are being carried out to find out about the detection time of this anabolic steroid.
