Oxymetholone is the strongest oral steroid compound that is a dihydrotestosterone derivative that is currently only available in Mexico. Clinically, Oxymetholone was often prescribed for the treatment of anemia, which was caused by a deficiency in the production of red blood cells. These high androgenic and anabolic properties that Oxymetholone has acquired thanks to its structure, thanks to it, we gain a large muscle mass and increase in strength. Many athletes claim that they increase strength and mass in a very short period of time. This feature would allow the relationship that is Oxymetholone has become a very popular choice among oral steroid compounds, and gained popularity among many athletes, especially men.
Most athletes have experienced weight increases of around 10 to 15 pounds or more within two weeks of taking this compound. It is obvious that to a large extent we can attribute a huge amount of water retention, which immediately increases the diameter of the muscles, which in turn allowed for a rapid increase in size. Therefore, this preserved amount of water in the muscle and joint cells also additionally affects the smooth appearance, and the increase in size was quantitative and not qualitative. Water retention, however, affects the so-called joint lubrication, this has been appreciated by most athletes, because this feature is not accepted for intense workouts, which were often previously somewhat limited due to pain in the joints.
Oxymetholone is a steroidal, oral compound that causes a further increase in the number of red blood cells, which in turn allowed the muscles to absorb more oxygen. This would generally make the muscles survive the greater physical stress that occurred due to the significant increase in blood volume. The pump effect is often experienced during the training of individual muscles, and even becomes somewhat painful, to the extent that the exercises are often interrupted.
However, this perception of increased strength and power is not universally desired by all athletes who have practiced self-administration of this compound. Several players also boldly claim that another distinctive feature of Oxymetholone was increased duration, because this compound is able to stimulate the regeneration of the body, which often allowed further muscle building, progress, etc.
However, although the substance Oxymetholone is strong, unfortunately, there is also a high risk of severe side effects. Several athletes have experienced excessive water retention, which sometimes resulted in high blood pressure. Oxymetholone had very high levels of DHT, and was very toxic to the liver, due to the properties of this C-17 alphaallrylated steroid.
Although the relationship that is Oxymetholone was known for the rapid increase in strength and mass, it is not a good idea to use it by beginners.
As for advanced competitors, a dosage of 50-100 mg per day is recommended.
The maximum dosing period is 6 weeks.
There are several possible side effects of using Anadrol. Oxymetholon contained in it is not the safest steroid, although its safe use is possible. While maintaining the right rules, it can be used by most healthy and adult men.
Anadrol – estrogenic side effects
Oxymethone is an anabolic androgenic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Although it does not aromatize, it is highly estrogenic, unlike most DHT compounds. This means that the side effects of its use may include gynecomastia and excessive retention of water in the body. The latter is often a side effect of Anadrol.
Many men, in order to compensate for the estrogenic side effects of Anadrol, will turn towards aromatase inhibitors (AI). Unfortunately, in the case of Anadrol, the aromatase process does not occur, which means that there is no appropriate process to inhibit – the inhibitor will not work. It seems that AI may offer some protection, but only in conjunction with SERMs – selective estrogen receptor modulators. Although SERs will not reduce estrogen, they will attach to estrogen receptors, preventing them locally.
To sum up the above, most men will need one of the antiestrogens to fight the estrogenic side effects of Anadrol.
Anadrol – androgenic side effects
Anadrol , like most DHT compounds, can cause intense androgenic side effects. Among them you can mention acne, hair loss of the head and growth of new hair on different parts of the body. However, Anadrol's side effects are strongly dependent on individual genetic predispositions. People with androgen hair loss will lose their hair, and Anadrol will accelerate this process. Men without such predispositions will not feel this undesirable effect. The situation of people susceptible to acne is similar – the use of Anadrol will aggravate this problem. It will help in this situation to maintain a strict hygiene of the whole body.
Important information – androgenic action of Anadrol can not be reduced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Oxymethonol is not metabolized by this enzyme. Inhibitors of similar nature will also not work.
Anadrol – side effects associated with the circulatory system
Anadrol can cause cholesterol to rise and increase blood pressure. People suffering from the above ailments should avoid Anadrol.
In most men with properly controlled water retention, the problem of elevated blood pressure will not occur, although they should often be measured and supervised. It is also necessary to avoid other activities that increase blood pressure, such as smoking, alcohol abuse and excessive sodium intake.
Anadrol may also cause a decrease in the level of good cholesterol (HDL) and an increase in the level of bad cholesterol (LDL). During its use, a low-saturated diet and simple sugars should be used. It is also recommended daily supplementation of omega fatty acids and activity promoting the health of the cardiovascular system.
The effect of Anadrol on testosterone
Using Anadrol may suppress the natural production of testosterone. It should therefore be ensured that it is supplemented, in any exogenous form. Although testosterone levels should return to normal after the withdrawal of Anadrol, most men will need the so-called post-cycle flare, or post-cycle therapy.
Anadrol – hepatotoxicity
Oxymetholon is an anaerobic C17 alpha-alkylated steroid that makes it toxic to the liver. With its use, the values of liver enzymes will increase. People with liver problems should avoid using Anadrol. Healthy people should, however, follow the rules below when taking this steroid:
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption – drinking alcohol alone is detrimental to the liver.
- Avoid taking over-the-counter medications – you should know that some of them may be more hepatotoxic than anabolic steroids.
- You should not take any other C17-aa steroid while using Anadrol and for at least 6 weeks after discontinuation.
