Boldenone Undecylenate, also known as Equipoise or simply EQ, is a synthetic anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) that is derived from testosterone. It was originally developed for veterinary use, particularly for horses. However, it has gained popularity among bodybuilders and athletes for its performance-enhancing effects.

Boldenone Undecylenate is characterized by its long-acting ester, which allows for a slow and gradual release of the hormone into the body after administration. This results in a sustained and stable blood plasma level, extending the duration of its effects. Typically, the half-life of Boldenone Undecylenate is around 14 days, making it suitable for less frequent injections compared to other steroids.

In terms of its anabolic properties, Boldenone Undecylenate exhibits moderate to high anabolic activity, with a relatively low androgenic effect. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking lean muscle gains without excessive water retention or androgenic side effects. It promotes protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, leading to increased muscle mass, strength, and endurance.

One of the unique characteristics of Boldenone Undecylenate is its ability to increase red blood cell production, known as erythropoiesis. This results in improved oxygen-carrying capacity, enhancing stamina and endurance during physical activities. This quality has made it popular among athletes involved in endurance sports such as cycling, running, and swimming.

Like other AAS, Boldenone Undecylenate is not without potential side effects. These can include androgenic effects such as increased oiliness of the skin, acne, and facial hair growth in women. It can also suppress natural testosterone production, leading to potential hormonal imbalances and libido issues. Other potential side effects include cardiovascular strain, liver toxicity, and negative impacts on cholesterol levels.

It is important to note that the use of Boldenone Undecylenate is prohibited in most competitive sports and organizations due to its performance-enhancing effects. Additionally, its use should always be under the guidance and supervision of a licensed healthcare professional to ensure safe and responsible usage.

In conclusion, Boldenone Undecylenate is a synthetic steroid with anabolic properties that can promote lean muscle growth, endurance, and strength. However, it should be used with caution and under professional supervision due to potential side effects and legal restrictions.

Oral Turinabol is somewhat of a unique anabolic steroid. Specifically, Oral Turinabol is a cross between Methandrostenolone and Clostebol. This provides a steroid with powerful anabolic action while at the same time minimizing androgenic characteristics. Oral Turinabol also carries somewhat of an interesting history behind it. Oral Turinabol was first released by Jenapharm out of East Germany in 1962. The steroid would enjoy a very high safety rating for decades not only among men but in women and even children in a therapeutic setting. This steroid was proven to be very effective in the effort to build or protect lean mass and bone mass without severe complications. However, Oral Turinabol would gain worldwide attention in the 1990’s when the East German steroid scandal became public knowledge. From 1974 to 1989 what would be known as the East German Doping Machine had been successful in administering anabolic steroids to its Olympic athletes. Not only were they cheating but they were getting away with it as steroids like Oral Turinabol were, at the time, undetectable. State Plan Research Theme 14.25 as it was officially known would also make use of epitestosterone during this period in order to skew testosterone readings in drug testing. When Oral Turinabol was discovered as being an integral part of the East German scandal Jenapharm would discontinue the product in 1994. Two years later the pharmaceutical powerhouse out of Germany Schering, makers of such steroids as Primobolan, Testoviron and Proviron would acquire Jenapharm but chose not to bring Oral Turinabol back to the market. Since that time this anabolic steroid has never been manufactured by a true pharmaceutical compounding entity and has become a strictly black market underground anabolic steroid.

Oral Turinabol Functions & Traits: Oral Turinabol, officially known as 4-chlorodehydromethyltestosterone is basically a structurally altered form of Dianabol (Methandrostenolone), which itself is a derivative of testosterone. The structural makeup of Oral Turinabol is very simple. The compound is simply the testosterone hormone with an added double bond at carbon 1 and 2, which alters the anabolic to androgenic ratio in favor of anabolic. It also carries an added Chloro group at carbon 4, which inhibits the hormone from aromatizing and further reduces its androgenic nature. The final change is an added methyl group at the 17th carbon position, which protects the hormone through oral administration. This final change officially classifies Oral Turinabol as a C17-alpha alkylated (C17-aa) anabolic androgenic steroid. On a functional basis the traits of Oral Turinabol are very simple. Like most anabolic steroids it should have a positive impact on protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, as well as in increasing red blood cell count. These traits are all important as they enhance the anabolic atmosphere of the individual. Protein synthesis in that protein is the primary building block of muscle and synthesis representing the rate by which cells build proteins, and nitrogen retention in that it represents an important part of lean tissue composition. A deficiency in nitrogen will lead to a catabolic state, where as a higher amount retained will promote a more favorable anabolic atmosphere. Then we have red blood cells, which are responsible for carrying oxygen to and through the blood. More red blood cells will equate to greater blood oxygenation, which in turn will equate to greater muscular endurance. All of these traits will also be tremendously beneficial in terms of the body’s ability to recover. While the protein, nitrogen and red blood cells traits are present, they are not as pronounced in Oral Turinabol as they might be with many other steroids. But they are still notable and quite beneficial. However, the steroid will promote such traits with a milder nature in that it lacks the ability to aromatize and carries such mild androgenic activity. This can be very beneficial to the individual who while he needs to make progress he needs to keep it as clean as possible. The mild nature of Oral Turinabol makes it very appealing but there is another trait that greatly enhances its worthwhile. This steroid has the ability to significantly reduce Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). It doesn’t carry this ability as strongly as a few other steroids but it is still more than notable. This reduction in SHBG allows for more active and available free testosterone. Perhaps more importantly, it keeps the other steroids you may be using from falling into a bound state. Basically the individual should be able to get more out of the other steroids being used without a need for increasing the dose simply due to the synergy created by Oral Turinabol.

Effects of Oral Turinabol:
Without question the effects of Oral Turinabol will be most valuable to the athlete and by athlete we actually mean athlete. We’re not talking about the bodybuilder or gym rat that lives like one but rather someone who competes in a competitive sport of physical skill. The use of Oral Turinabol will significantly promote muscular endurance, they won’t tire out as fast and their overall rate of recovery should be greatly improved. As the season wanes on, they should also find they have taken less of a beating and are closer to the physical peak they enjoyed at the beginning of the season. This would not occur without the anabolic protectant nature. The athlete should also find his strength is noticeably improved upon. Yes, he should be stronger, which can directly translate into physical power and speed. No, it will not create the athlete, it will not create athletic ability, affect coordination or turn a sloth into a star, but it will enhance the existing athlete within. If it wasn’t phenomenal for this purpose you can bet the East Germans wouldn’t have been using it and successfully so for nearly two decades. In a direct physical sense, as an off-season bulking steroid Oral Turinabol is not what we’d label phenomenal. It’s not going to pack a ton of mass on anyone’s frame but it can provide some decent growth. You will definitely grow more when using Dianabol or Anadrol, and it’s not going to build mass like Deca Durabolin, but it should still be notable and clean. Remember, as it doesn’t aromatize all weight gained due to use will be lean mass. Due to its ability to reduce SHBG, this could also make the other steroids you’re taking, such as Deca Durabolin far more valuable during your off-season use. As a cutting agent, Oral Turinabol can be a decent steroid. It’s probably a little more valuable in the cutting phase than in a true off-season cycle. The steroid will provide solid protection against lean tissue loss and a lot of users often report an increase in hardness. How much hardness will it provide? This is a tough question to answer but it’s not going to be near the level of Winstrol or Masteron and most certainly not near the level provided by Trenbolone. However, the lean tissue protection and increases in endurance and recovery can prove invaluable during this phase of training. Many find this is a great steroid to use at the frontend of a long cutting cycle and then once a little leaner to switch over to more powerful hardening agents.

Side Effects of Oral Turinabol:
We can say with confidence that the side effects of Oral Turinabol are some of the mildest of any anabolic steroid on earth. However, we will also find that it can have a strong, negative impact on cardiovascular health. This should be controllable for the healthy adult but it will be something you need to keep an eye on. Both men and women will be able to use this steroid. This is not our first choice in female use, but it is a viable option. In order to help you understand the possible side effects of Oral Turinabol we have broken them down into their separate categories along with all the information you’ll need.

Estrogenic:
The side effects of Oral Turinabol do not include any of an estrogenic nature. This steroid does not aromatize and carries no progestin related traits making side effects like gynecomastia and excess water retention impossible. This should also greatly reduce the risk of high blood pressure as high blood pressure due to steroid use is most commonly linked to severe water retention.

Androgenic:
On a structural basis Oral Turinabol appears to carry no androgenic activity but the total information we have at our disposal is inconclusive. As the steroid is no longer manufactured legitimately and probably never will be again, more than likely its androgenic nature may always remain a slight mystery. However, we do know that it displays very little androgenic activity but we cannot say as some have attempted to say that it doesn’t posses any. Androgenic side effects of Oral Turinabol are possible, although unlikely. Such side effects may include acne, accelerated hair loss in those predisposed to male pattern baldness and body hair growth. Such effects will be highly dependent on genetics but the androgenic effects will not be affected by inhibitors. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors will have little effect on this steroid’s androgenicity as it is not significantly metabolized by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.

When looking at the androgenic side effects of Oral Turinabol, the most concerning will be female virilization symptoms. Women can use this steroid without virilization, but the dose must be kept low or virilization will absolutely occur. Virilization symptoms include a deepening of the vocal chords, body hair growth and clitoral enlargement. If such symptoms begin to show, discontinue use immediately and they will fade away. If such symptoms are ignored it is possible that they may become irreversible.

Cardiovascular:
Oral Turinabol can have a significant impact on cholesterol in increasing LDL levels (bad cholesterol) and suppressing/reducing HDL levels (good cholesterol). This negative effect on cholesterol will carry a stronger probability than with just about any injectable steroid you could use. Further, while we wouldn’t necessarily call it the unfriendliest oral steroid in this category it is far from the friendliest.

If you suffer from high cholesterol you should not use this steroid. If you cannot live a cholesterol friendly lifestyle and actually give it some attention you should not use this steroid. For those who are disciplined enough for use, ensure your diet is low in saturated fats and simple sugars. Also ensure your diet is rich in omega fatty acids. A large amount of fish oils daily is advised. It’s also a good idea to consider a cholesterol antioxidant and always include plenty of cardiovascular training into your routine. If you’re a healthy adult and you do these things, unless there is an underlying issue you shouldn’t run into any problems.

Testosterone:
Oral Turinabol is suppressive to natural testosterone and should be used in conjunction with exogenous testosterone. Men who use Oral Turinabol without exogenous testosterone will risk a low testosterone condition. Such a condition can come with a host of possible symptoms ranging from physical, mental and sexually related. However, while physical related symptoms are unlikely when steroids are being used the others are a very real possibility.

Once the use of Oral Turinabol comes to an end natural testosterone production will begin again on its own. However, natural levels will still be very low and it will take a large amount of time to recover proper or healthy levels. For this reason most men are encouraged to implement a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan once the use of anabolic steroids is discontinued. This will greatly speed up the recovery process and protect your lean tissue. Without a PCT plan it is possible for cortisol to become dominant for a period of time, destroy muscle tissue and promote fat gain. While a PCT plan will promote recovery, it will not return you to normal on its own. There is no PCT plan on earth that has this ability. However, a well planned PCT will speed up the process and ensure you have enough testosterone for proper bodily function while your levels continue to naturally rise.

There are a few important notes on natural recovery, the primary being that no low testosterone condition existed prior to anabolic steroid use. Further, natural recovery assumes no severe damage was done to the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis (HPTA) through improper anabolic steroid use. As a final note, women have no need to supplement with exogenous testosterone when using Oral Turinabol.

Hepatotoxic:
As a C17-aa anabolic steroid, Oral Turinabol is hepatotoxic. Liver enzyme values will increase with use due to the stress it will place on the liver. However, it’s important to remember an increase in enzyme values does not automatically equate to damage, but it is an indicator of stress. This is not the most hepatotoxic C17-aa steroid at our disposal but it is far from the mildest. With proper use it is more than possible to avoid any liver damage, but this will require responsible use.

If you already suffer from any liver related issues, you should not supplement with Oral Turinabol. If you are healthy enough for use, you should ensure you do all you can to promote a healthy liver. First and foremost, avoid all excess alcohol consumption when using this steroid. Heavy consumption will present even more stress to the liver and greatly increase the potential for damage. In fact, avoiding all alcohol during use isn’t the worst idea. Always keep in mind alcohol is perhaps the most anti-performance substance on earth and your very reason for supplementing with Oral Turinabol is to promote performance.

Beyond alcohol regulation, avoiding all over the counter medications when possible is highly advised. Many over the counter medications are quite hepatotoxic and should be limited to when only absolutely necessary. The use of a liver detoxification supplement is also advised when using Oral Turinabol.

If the individual does these things and had a healthy liver to begin with, although enzyme values will rise during use they should return to normal shortly after use is discontinued. The liver carries some of the most remarkable rejuvenation characteristics of any organ in the body and if proper steps are followed and no underlying issues exist no damage should be done.

Chemical Characteristics and Properties

Anavar is based on the DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone, with some small modifications that make a big difference in its effects.

Oxandrolone (Anavar) Structure

It’s an oral steroid that comes with its own pros and cons. Anavar comes with many benefits and potential uses, but without a doubt is it most famous for its use as a fat-burning steroid, and it has very specific and unique effects in that area which we’ll see below.

Most importantly, Anavar has strong anabolic properties (in fact, three times that of testosterone), and weak androgenic effects – which is what makes it potentially suitable for use by women, unlike most other steroids which are far too androgenic for females.

Anavar is known as a C-17 alpha alkylated steroid, and this allows it to be taken as an oral steroid. There are no Anavar injections – it is purely an oral compound.

The seemingly very insignificant single atom swap of oxygen in place of its second carbon atom gives Anavar a substantial increase in anabolic strength compared with regular DHT. At the least, Anavar is three times more anabolic than testosterone. It has an androgenic rating of just 24, compared to 100 for testosterone.

This tells us automatically that we’re unlikely to be dealing with many of those androgenic-related side effects that are so prevalent with a lot of other compounds.

Effects of Anavar (Anavar Benefits)

Most people will want to use Anavar for a cutting cycle, and this is where its benefits are most well known.

In fact, it’s known as possibly the best cutting steroid out of all the options we have. And this is for two main reasons:

• Anavar can directly promote fat burning
• Anavar is a powerful preserver of existing muscle tissue

So while these are two critical benefits of Anavar, they definitely aren’t the only ones. Even if cutting is your number one reason for wanting to use Anavar, you’ll get a host of other positive effects that will only add to your gains and overall results.

Strength, endurance, stamina, and recovery are all enhanced with Anavar. So no matter what type of workouts you’re doing, you are going to see a noticeable difference in your performance and your capacity to work out beyond your normal level; whether that be endurance cardio work or lifting weights (or both).

With Anavar’s ability to enhance recovery, you will notice an ability to increase the frequency of your workouts, while the intensity and duration of your training are substantially improved because your body is recovering more efficiently. In the end, all this means better, faster results thanks to the wide-ranging effects of Anavar.

At the most basic level, you can expect to see some nice fat loss and some moderate muscle gains when you use Anavar. Obviously, the type of your workouts is going to steer the direction of your results, so whether that includes mostly cardio or only moderate resistance training, this is really going to be the biggest factor in how much fat you’ll be able to burn.

In any case, the hardness and dryness of Anavar gains and fat loss are one of its strongest and most desirable benefits. Not having to deal with water retention is a relief for anyone wanting to achieve a shredded, hard, and vascular physique.

One of the less spoken-about benefits of Anavar is a possible boost to your overall mood. Not everyone will notice this, but some guys definitely notice a positive change in mood and mental energy, translating into a more positive mindset and even better sleep – all of this is going to contribute to better workouts and better recovery. The same can’t be said for a lot of other steroids which can potentially cause anxiety and increased anger instead.

Let’s sum up the most important and attractive benefits of Anavar, especially when you’re wanting to compare it to other steroids:

• Anavar won’t produce estrogenic side effects when used on its own.
• Anavar is superb for retaining muscle when you’re on a cutting cycle and eating a diet that’s calorie deficient.
• Promotes muscle hardness and dryness, with no water retention.
• Improves pumps and vascularity, especially if you’re nice and lean already.
• Boosts endurance and stamina, and speeds up your recovery time. Your muscles should feel less fatigued during workouts.
• Anavar poses less risk to your liver health than many other oral compounds, so you can usually comfortably use it for an 8 or 12-week cycle with reduced risk of liver toxicity.
• It’s an oral steroid but you can easily and effectively stack it with injectable steroids.

Anavar really is one of the few compounds I can confidently say is suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced users.

Some of the most powerful steroids should never be touched by a new user, but Anavar isn’t one. And even the most advanced users can find a place for Anavar in their cycle when cutting.

This makes it a really versatile steroid and one that I have certainly felt more confident using than a host of other compounds that might have much stronger effects, but way too many side effect risks that require constant monitoring and mitigation throughout your cycle – for the most part, Anavar doesn’t have you focused on side effect prevention and allows us to fully focus on our results.

Anavar Cycles and Stacks

Anavar is very often stacked with one or more other steroids. If Anavar is the main steroid you want to use, you’re still almost certainly going to stack it with at least a form of testosterone as a testosterone replacement during your cycle.

Many more advanced users will go further than this though, making use of one or more other compounds at performance-enhancing doses alongside Anavar. This is a useful strategy particularly for cutting and shredding (which is where Anavar excels), although it is not likely to be used in pure bulking cycles because there’s a limit on just how high your dose of Anavar should be before health risks kick in.

Below I will reveal some of the best examples of beginner, intermediate, and advanced Anavar cycles and stacks.

Beginner Anavar Cycle

Anavar is a great choice for your first steroid cycle, and at a low dose, you’ll still get excellent results and might even be able to avoid side effects completely.

Starting as low as 15mg daily for 6-8 weeks will give powerful results, but you can consider raising this to 30mg or even 40mg daily depending on your reaction to the steroid. Anavar can either be the main compound in your beginner cycle, or you can stack it with a testosterone steroid if you want a more powerful anabolic effect.

If your primary goal is cutting, testosterone can be included at a replacement dose only as it’s possible that Anavar can still suppress your natural testosterone at this lower dosage. The addition of 100mg weekly of Testosterone Enanthate will provide that hormone replacement to stop you from falling into a low testosterone state.

Intermediate Anavar Cycle

Once you’ve already done a few cycles of Anavar and Test and are comfortable with the experience, it’s time to increase the dosage to a level that is much more likely to bring about side effects but will also substantially improve your results and performance.

Intermediate users will often push Anavar to around the 70mg daily level, and you will almost certainly want to split this higher dose into two administrations throughout the day.

Unless bulking is the main goal, we are still only including Testosterone here for hormone replacement purposes and Testosterone Enanthate is a great choice at 100mg weekly. Your Anavar cycle should end at 8 weeks, but many users will choose to continue the testosterone for another 4 weeks. This cycle should still result in nice dry gains and excellent fat loss, as your testosterone dose is not high enough to cause any notable amount of estrogen conversion.

Advanced Anavar Cycle

Once you’re comfortable enough to consider yourself an advanced steroid user, your goals are most likely going to be pretty extreme when it comes to cutting, as well as putting on lean mass if that’s part of your requirement for this cycle. With this comes the addition of more steroids into the cycle, with Anavar just being one compound that works in synergy with the others, rather than it being the main workhorse as it is with a beginner and even intermediate cycle.

Adding a compound like Trenbolone Acetate at a low dose will provide a very powerful kick to this cycle, and it will be a fast-acting cycle full of compounds that start working quickly. Like Anavar, Trenbolone doesn’t cause any estrogenic side effects so it’s the perfect combination for dry gains and shredding. In fact, this is a cycle that can be used for various goals, and your workouts and diet will steer it in the direction you want to go.

For an 8 week advanced Anavar cycle:

• Anavar 80-100mg daily
• Trenbolone Acetate 400mg weekly
• Testosterone Propionate 100mg weekly

Again I use testosterone for hormone replacement purposes at a low dose, with the chosen ester being the faster-acting Testosterone Propionate.

Stacking Anavar

Stacking Anavar with other steroids is the ultimate way to combine the benefits of multiple compounds to maximize your results.

You can add other powerful cutting steroids like Winstrol if your ultimate goal is a shredded physique, or you can go the other way and ramp up your testosterone dosage or add other bulking steroids if gaining mass is your main aim. The great thing about Anavar is that it can be tailored for multiple purposes, and is not just strictly a cutting steroid.

An important thing for you to consider when planning your Anavar stack is the big benefit of its lack of water retention because it doesn’t convert to estrogen. You can take advantage of this by stacking it with other compounds that also don’t aromatize like Trenbolone and Masteron.

Such a stack can effectively have you not have to think about fluid retention at all unless you decide to take a higher dose of testosterone in the stack. When stacking Anavar primarily for cutting purposes, your best options are:

• Masteron
• Trenbolone
• Primobolan
• Equipoise
• Winstrol

For hardcore bulking cycles, men are very unlikely to want to include Anavar in a stack because it would need to be used at unsustainably high doses, and there are simply much more powerful compounds to use instead. It is however useful as a moderate lean mass gainer for men, and one that is effective for women when stacked with Primobolan or Winstrol.

Regardless of what you’re stacking Anavar with, the cycle length of this steroid should still be no longer than 8 weeks.

Anavar Dosages and Administration

Your goals, experience, health status, age, gender, and body type are all considerations when planning your Anavar dosage.

Anavar has a short half-life and leaves the body fairly quickly, so if you experience adverse effects from a dose that’s too high, you should overcome the symptoms within a short time and you can adjust your dosage lower for the remaining cycle.

Medical Anavar Dosage

When used medically, Anavar doses have always been at the very low end compared to performance enhancement and bodybuilding use. Usually, this is between 5mg and 10mg per day, though it can be as low as 2.5mg daily – depending on the patient and their condition. Importantly, the length of time that Anavar is usually taken medically is much shorter than when used for bodybuilding or, with a 2 to 4 week period being the most common, and only in rare circumstances will Anavar be used for several months at a time for medical purposes.

Bodybuilding Anavar Dosage

Considering that you’re likely to be stacking Anavar with one or more other steroids, this will influence what your bodybuilding Anavar dosage will be. Your particular goals and your past experience with steroids are also important factors. Thankfully Anavar is a pretty simple steroid to determine dosages for, and having a short half-life means that if you think you’ve got it wrong, it quickly exits the body and you can adjust your dose up or down accordingly.

Most guys will find a nice balance at 50mg of Anavar daily, split into two doses. You can even get away with no or just very mild side effects at that dose.

Even beginners can start at 50mg, but don’t discount taking just 30mg daily if it’s your first cycle so you can gauge your body’s response. If muscle gains are your main priority rather than fat loss, it’s not too uncommon for 80mg to 100mg to be used – but beware of your lipid profile at doses that high as well as a much higher risk of other side effects rearing their head.

Female Anavar Dosage

Anavar is one of the very few anabolic steroids that can be considered “female-friendly“. That is, at lower doses many women can use Anavar without any side effects at all. Higher doses are certain to bring on the development of masculine features though, but these will disappear once you stop using Anavar. Women should use no more than 10mg of Anavar daily, but 5mg is often more than enough. To avoid the onset of androgenic effects, female users should limit an Anavar cycle to 4 weeks, and no longer than 6 weeks at the maximum.

Proper Administration and Timing

Compared to injectable steroids, Anavar’s half-life is short at between 9 and 10 hours. This puts you in the position of choosing between administering your chosen dosage either once or twice each day. Some factors to consider here are how long the days are where you live, and what time of day you work out. The goal is to keep your blood levels of Anavar at the optimal level as much as possible. A twice-daily administration is as simple as cutting your total dose into two equal amounts. A common schedule is to take half the dose in the morning at breakfast, and the second half about an hour before your workout (if you workout later in the day).

Anavar Risks and Side Effects

All steroids come with great risks, both during the time you’re using them and on your long-term health. Everyone who uses steroids knows there are risks, and most of us have seen some tragic stories of people who’ve taken steroids use to extremes and severely damaged their health or even lost their lives.

Anavar certainly comes with risks and side effects, although it’s considered to be one of the more mild steroids in this regard. Some people can even use Anavar and experience no immediate side effects, but your individual reaction and your dosage (as well as cycle lengths and the effects of any other steroids being used) will determine your own unique experience when it comes to possible Anavar side effects.

Here are the main side effect possibilities to look out for during your Anavar cycle:

• Androgenic: Anavar comes with a low androgenic rating, but it can still cause some of those familiar androgenic side effects, especially if you’re genetically prone to these things already. Acne is one issue some Anavar users have to deal with (while others won’t have any acne at all). Some users note that acne appears immediately after starting Anavar – these are people who have very likely suffered from acne during their teenage years. Possible growth of body hair and loss of hair on the head is also very individualistic side effects. If you don’t have the genes for male pattern baldness (check if your father or grandfathers went bald), you are very unlikely to see any issues in that department.
• Estrogenic: One of the big benefits of Anavar is that it doesn’t aromatize, so you won’t be dealing with those well known estrogenic effects like gyno, water retention, or high blood pressure (of course, if you’re stacking Anavar with an aromatizing steroid, these things will become an issue during your cycle). The lack of fluid retention is one of the main aspects that makes Anavar so appealing for cutting, improving body composition and physique shaping as well as you’ll more easily be able to achieve that highly desirable dry appearance.
• Testosterone suppression: Anavar will cause some suppression of your normal testosterone production, but it won’t be anywhere near as severe as some other steroids. It’s still highly recommended that you include exogenous testosterone in your Anavar cycle to combat any suppression and avoid low testosterone symptoms. You will almost certainly want to do PCT after using Anavar to get your testosterone back to normal.
• Cholesterol: If you’re healthy, Anavar is not likely to pose a risk to your cholesterol levels. But if you already have cholesterol problems, you will as always want to take extra precautions with Anavar or any steroids. Anavar can certainly, for any user, cause a decrease in good cholesterol levels (HDL) while raising bad cholesterol (LDL). This particular side effect is always very individualistic and dose/cycle length dependent. It can never hurt to monitor your cholesterol levels while using Anavar.
• Liver toxicity: Oral steroids are well known for their risks to your liver, otherwise known as hepatotoxic. Anavar is considered a milder risk of causing liver damage compared to other oral steroids, but the possibility is still there. This is the main reason why you should limit your use of Anavar to no more than 8 weeks per cycle, with a suitable gap in between cycles to allow the liver to recover. Anavar is still going to be harder on the liver than any injectable steroid so it’s critical that you don’t get complacent about the risks here. Some users will want to use a liver support supplement during an Anavar cycle.
• Female Anavar side effects: This is one of the few steroids that women can use without the severe masculinizing effects of most steroids. At low doses of Anavar, most females can avoid side effects completely, but at higher doses virilization effects like hair growth and deepening of the voice can develop. Some females will report severe acne while using Anavar, as well as other issues like reduced libido.

Most guys using Anavar at 50mg or less daily will see minimal or even no side effects at all. Many worries that they’ll have a loss of appetite (you still want SOME appetite if you’re cutting, and some users do want some muscle gains on Anavar as well). Other concerns like changes in lipid profiles concerning cholesterol levels, and liver toxicity, are often unfounded at moderate doses. With that said, if you’ve got existing high cholesterol, you MUST keep track of your cholesterol health throughout an Anavar cycle.

After all, this isn’t something that you can just walk into a store and buy off the shelf with confidence that you’re purchasing a high-quality, pure, regulated product.

You also won’t be able to legally get pharmaceutical-grade Anavar sold for medical use unless you have a prescription.

Most users will source their Oxandrolone on the underground market, or through personal contacts at the local gym; and these people themselves would have purchased Anavar on the black market, so there’s still no guarantee you’ll be getting a safe, quality product no matter how much you trust your gym buddies.

This is simply one of the risks we face when choosing to use steroids and there’s no way around it. It’s one of the big reasons many of us go looking for legal Anavar alternatives.

What Alternatives Are Available?

So we know that Anavar is insanely effective at delivering outstanding results, but at the end of the day steroids simply aren’t for everyone. Sure, we all want the results but a lot of guys still won’t take the plunge into actually using a steroid like Anavar.

There are many good reasons to avoid using steroids, and the good news is that we now have legitimate alternative options that are both safe and legal while still providing most (if not all!) of the benefits of Anavar itself.

Personally, I’ve stopped believing it’s worth taking the risk with steroids.

There are a great number of risks to long-term health, some of which we might not notice until much later in life. I’m not willing to take that risk anymore, and that’s how I came across what I believe is the number one legal substitute for Anavar – Anvarol.

The benefits and effects of Anvarol essentially mirror Anavar:

• You can lose fat fast
• Gain and retain lean muscle
• Increase energy and endurance
• Boosts strength

Of course, there is no water retention to worry about with Anvarol either, because there are no hormones in the formula. It’s a totally natural formula of safe ingredients that are proven to be effective, especially in the process of regenerating ATP to boost your energy and pumps while working out. It also won’t shut down your testosterone, not even a little bit so you won’t be wasting any money or time on PCT.

Anvarol comes with no side effects, can be bought over the counter, and is completely legal to purchase and use. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting in the bottle, and no chance of contamination or low-quality product as is a high risk with steroids bought on the black market.

Anavar FAQs

Does Oxandrolone increase strength?

Anavar can definitely give you a boost in strength thanks to its high anabolic rating. One of its original medical uses was to increase muscle strength in patients with muscle-wasting conditions, so at higher bodybuilding doses it is likely to give you a fairly significant strength improvement. Anavar is not widely known as a strength-enhancing steroid, but it actually excels in this regard and one reason is that the ATP uptake in muscle cells is increased. You’re likely to see a great improvement in the amount of weight you can lift when using Anavar.

How long should I cycle Anavar?

A standard Anavar cycle will run for 6-8 weeks only. You might choose to add another compound to extend the cycle for several more weeks after stopping Anavar, depending on your goals. It’s strongly recommended that Anavar not be used for longer than 8 weeks due to its potential for causing stress to the liver as an oral steroid. Even though it’s not as potent in this area compared with other orals, you will still want to exercise caution when using Anavar when it comes to liver health and the main way to do that is by limiting your Anavar cycle length to 8 weeks or less.

What does Anavar do to your body?

Anavar is about three times more powerful than testosterone when it comes to anabolic effects so it’s possible to see significant gains in strength, as well as some lean muscle gains. Anavar will help you lose fat, without gaining any water because it does not convert to estrogen. It has powerful anabolic effects on the body, but it has much reduced androgenic effects when compared to testosterone.

Does Anavar convert to DHT?

Anavar itself is derived from DHT (dihydrotestosterone), with some slight alterations to the structure of the hormone. This means that Anavar can not convert to DHT, because it essentially already is DHT. Because it is a DHT steroid, it can bring about head hair loss in male users who are already genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness.

What’s the half-life of Anavar?

Anavar’s half-life is around 9 to 10 hours. This makes it a fast-acting steroid which is to be expected for an oral steroid. It also means you’ll most likely want to split your daily dosage into two administrations to maintain optimal blood levels, although it is possible to maintain a once-daily dosage schedule with no negative issues.

How much Anavar should I take a day?

Your Anavar dosage will depend on many things: mostly, your personal goals, and what other steroids you plan to stack it with. Beginners often start with up to 50mg daily, and the most experienced users can often take up to 100mg per day – but such a high dose is not recommended for the novice.

Does Anavar cause kidney problems?

Using any anabolic steroids can put the kidneys at risk of damage. Your kidneys can become stressed when using Anavar. If you have no existing kidney problems, using low doses and short cycles of Anavar is unlikely to cause kidney damage, but if you use excessive doses and long cycles you will be putting your kidneys – and other organs – at great risk of harm.

Does Anavar give you anxiety?

Some users have reported experiencing anxiety-type symptoms when using Anavar. This is likely to be an individual response to the steroid and not something that impacts everyone. Any steroids can possibly cause a change in moods, after all, you’re putting hormones into your body so it’s more than possible that fluctuations occur which can cause symptoms like anxiety – especially if you’re someone who is already to anxiety and other mood disorders.

What happens when you stop taking Anavar?

There are two main things to watch out for when you stop taking Anavar: one is withdrawal symptoms, although these are not known to be common with performance use where cycles are short. The second is much more likely: a suppression of your natural testosterone. Anavar is not the most suppressive steroid, but your natural testosterone production is likely to have taken a hit. This can cause symptoms of low testosterone when your cycle ends, including loss of muscle and fat gain. You can avoid this by doing PCT after your Anavar cycle.

How do you eat in Anavar?

You’re most likely using Anavar for cutting, so your diet is going to contain fewer calories than you’d normally eat because you want to burn fat. This will greatly depend on your goals and body type, and how extreme you want your cutting cycle to be. But it’s a good start to measure your personal BMR by using an online calculator. This will provide you with a recommended daily caloric intake; when using Anavar for cutting, reduce your intake by about 500 calories under the recommended amount and this should consist of high-quality protein and carbs (not refined or white carbohydrates).

My Conclusion and Recommendation

I’m not going to deny that Anavar works amazingly well. It might be “mild” as a steroid – but it’s still a steroid. We know that steroids can cause long-term health issues, especially if you want to maintain your physique for many years and want to use steroids regularly.

I’m very happy that there are now legitimate Anavar alternatives out there that are total substitutes and come without side effects and health risks.

Anavar’s pros and cons are clear:

• Superb muscle retention while burning fat
• Fantastic energy and strength
• Enhanced mood and recovery
• Can still cause problems with cholesterol
• Can be liver toxic and is not suitable for use for long periods

For me, it’s a no-brainer to switch to Anvarol and do away with the high risks of Anavar. I can use Anvarol for the rest of my life and know that won’t be putting my liver, kidneys, cholesterol, and who knows what else at risk of long-term damage – but I can still reap the same benefits.

Frag (176-191) is a peptide derived from the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Specifically, it is a fragment of the GHRH molecule, consisting of amino acids 176 to 191. This peptide is also known as AOD-9604.

Frag (176-191) is renowned for its potential fat-burning properties and its ability to promote weight loss. It works by targeting adipose (fat) tissues and stimulating the breakdown of stored fat, leading to increased fat metabolism. This selective action makes it a popular choice for those looking to reduce body fat and improve body composition.

One of the key advantages of Frag (176-191) is its specificity for fat cells. It has been shown to have minimal impact on glucose metabolism or insulin sensitivity, making it safer than other weight loss compounds. This means that it can help individuals shed fat without negatively affecting their blood sugar levels or causing insulin resistance.

Moreover, Frag (176-191) has been found to have potential anti-aging effects. It is believed to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, making it appealing to those seeking to maintain a youthful appearance.

When it comes to dosing, Frag (176-191) is typically administered in the form of subcutaneous injections. The recommended dosage is around 2 milligrams (mg) per day, divided into multiple injections. It is important to note that dosage requirements may vary depending on individual factors such as weight, body composition goals, and overall health.

As with any peptide or medication, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting Frag (176-191) or any other weight loss regimen. They can provide personalized advice, monitor your progress, and ensure it is safe and appropriate for your specific needs.

Please keep in mind that Frag (176-191) is a research chemical and is not approved by regulatory bodies for human use. Its use should be approached with caution, and any decision to use it should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare professional.

Etho-Trenbolone – injectable steroid that is used mainly in bodybuilding and weightlifting to achieve maximum growth of compacted muscle mass and a significant increase in power capacity.

Etho-Trenbolone ester is characterized by a long period of exposure into the body (about six weeks).

Etho-Trenbolone Effects

significant increase in muscle mass (average 10 kg per 8 weeks);
increasing the degree of endurance and power performance;
200% increase in the level of insulin-like growth factor stimulation and hyperplasia of the muscle;
fat burning effect (including the influence due to the release of growth hormone);
lowering cortisol levels (a hormone which facilitates the destruction of proteins, increased fat accumulation and glucose).

How to Use Etho-Trenbolone: Dosage, Cycle, PCT

To create a cycle for Etho-Trenbolone, which also would be effective and safe for the body, stick to a few rules:

Do not exceed the dosage of the drug and duration of the cycle (the optimal dose of Etho-Trenbolone per week – 300 mg, cycle length – 6-8 weeks).
Always start with a minimum rate of injection to fix the body’s response to anabolic effects.
Take Gonadotropins, if the steroid cycle is designed for 5 weeks and more.
Do not neglect the power of sports complex and a special diet for weight gain.
Always consult a doctor before starting the cycle.

Etho-Trenbolone Combination Cycles

Etho-Trenbolone, to gain muscle mass, is often taken solo, because of its efficiency. In professional cycles at a dosage of 250 mg per week, can be stacked with Testosterone Enanthate, but this combination is only valid for the experienced athletes, and after a medical advice.

For drying period one can buy Winstrol, or Anavar without anti-estrogens, using half of the dosage.

As PCT on Trenbolone cycle is used Toremifene or Clomid.

Etho-Trenbolone Reviews

After analyzing published on Etho-Trenbolone reviews, it is easy to draw a conclusion about the quality of weight and severity of the effect: more than 90% of athletes and bodybuilders were satisfied with the results of the cycle. The absence of the phenomenon of rollback and flavoring also played a significant role in relation of athletes with this steroid.

Warnings: Keep out of reach of children. For adults only.

MK-2866, also known as Ostarine, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that is gaining popularity in the fitness and bodybuilding community. It is primarily used for its potential to promote muscle growth, enhance strength, and improve physical performance.

Ostarine was initially developed to combat muscle wasting diseases and osteoporosis, but its anabolic properties have made it a sought-after compound for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It works by selectively binding to androgen receptors in the body, specifically targeting muscle and bone tissues, while minimizing the side effects commonly associated with traditional anabolic steroids.

One of the key benefits of MK-2866 is its ability to stimulate protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth. By activating androgen receptors in muscle cells, Ostarine promotes the synthesis of new proteins, leading to increased muscle mass and strength. This makes it an attractive option for individuals looking to improve their athletic performance or undergo body recomposition.

Additionally, Ostarine has been found to have positive effects on bone density and strength. It can enhance the mineralization process, leading to stronger bones and potentially reducing the risk of fractures or injuries. This makes it beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions like osteoporosis or recovering from bone-related injuries.

Another advantage of MK-2866 is its potential to aid in fat loss. By increasing muscle mass and metabolic rate, Ostarine can contribute to a more efficient calorie burn. This means that users may experience improved body composition and reduced body fat percentage while maintaining or even gaining muscle mass.

When it comes to dosing, a typical recommended dosage for MK-2866 is around 15mg per day. However, it's important to note that dosage recommendations may vary depending on individual goals, experience level, and tolerance. It's always advisable to start with a lower dosage and gradually increase it if needed, while closely monitoring any potential side effects.

Speaking of side effects, MK-2866 is generally well-tolerated and has a lower risk of causing negative effects compared to traditional anabolic steroids. However, some users have reported mild testosterone suppression, which can be mitigated with appropriate post-cycle therapy (PCT) if necessary. Other potential side effects may include slight suppression of natural hormone production, fatigue, and mild acne.

It's important to emphasize that the use of MK-2866 is still a subject of ongoing research, and its long-term effects on human health are not fully understood. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplementation regimen, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.

In conclusion, MK-2866 (Ostarine) is a popular SARM known for its anabolic properties, muscle-building potential, and potential benefits for bone health and fat loss. However, it's crucial to use it responsibly, follow recommended dosages, and prioritize overall health and well-being.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate – anabolic steroid, used by weightlifters and bodybuilders to achieve effective results in the weight gain process and power capabilities, strengthen ligaments, bone, and immune system.

Androgenic activity of the substance is reduced, compared with testosterone, and the anabolic properties of the drug also appear quite moderately. This steroid is compared with the classic Deca with the difference that the Phenylpropionate’s ester chain is shortened. Therefore, the substance is acting in the body faster, but less, and for a short period (1-2 days, which requires frequent injection).

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate Effects

•     steady, moderate growth of quality muscle mass with minimal rollback phenomenon;
•     strengthening the immune system and anti-inflammatory effect;
•     stimulation for use as an additional energy source – body fat stores (fat-burning effect);
•     strengthening of bone due to enhanced synthesis of collagen.

How to Use Nandrolone Phenylpropionate: Dosage, Cycle, PCT

On forums dedicated to sports pharmacology, until now there is a debate about the frequency of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate injection and dose. Examining the issue, we have prepared for you a few recommendations to ensure the efficiency and safety of the drug at the same time:

•     For men, the optimal dose is 100-200 mg (every other day).
•     Women should limit the dosage by 50-100 mg once every three days.
•     Sufficient duration of the cycle to achieve tangible results: 6-8 weeks. Lengthening the cycle does not guarantee greater effectiveness, but promises a lot of side effects.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate Combination Cycles

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate is rarely used by experienced athletes on the cycle solo. For a combined cycle, it is a good idea to buy Turanabol, Winstrol, and Dianabol. Depending on your goals, also you can buy Boldenone, Masteron, and other anabolic steroids. For maximum efficiency, during the process of formation of high-quality muscle relief and mass, also are used triple combination. Pay attention that before you buy anabolic steroids for such a powerful cycle, you should consult your doctor. Also when taking the drugs, it's necessarily a must be seen by a doctor.

Do not forget to use on-cycle antiestrogens (for example, you can buy Clomid or Nolvadex). They will help to neutralize the risk of undesirable side effects (gynecomastia, water retention, etc.).

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate Reviews

As practice shows, Rx anabolics, including Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, happy are athletes, bodybuilders, and swimmers not only by the results of weight gain and power capabilities but also by profitable bids. About the Nandrolone Phenylpropionate reviews: in most cases, are positive reviews.
