Description
Anavar, also known as Oxandrolone, is an oral anabolic steroid. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), known for its mild nature and is considered to be one of the safest anabolic steroids available.
It is commonly used during cutting cycles to help preserve muscle mass while promoting fat loss. Additionally, it can dramatically increase strength and muscle mass.
Unlike Dianabol or Anadrol, other oral anabolic steroids, Anavar’s primary goal is strength improvement, and not muscle mass growth.
Anavar works by binding to androgen receptors in muscle tissue, promoting protein synthesis and muscle growth. It also has a mild effect on the body's natural production of testosterone, which can help to preserve muscle mass during periods of calorie restriction.
On the benefits list, in short, you may expect:
- Muscle mass growth;
- Drop in body fat, especially notable if you already have a lean physique;
- Significant strength improvement.
The primary benefit of Anavar is its mildness. Aside from the unavoidable effects on the liver, it’s one of the safest — if not the safest — AAS on the market.
A typical Apoxar Anavar cycle for bodybuilding can vary depending on the individual's goals, though generally, it can last from 6 to 8 weeks.
Effective dosage range is between 20mg and 80mg per day. It is recommended to start with a low dosage of 20mg per day and gradually increase it over time.
Anavar can be stacked with other AAS such as Testosterone, Trenbolone, or Winstrol for increased muscle mass and strength.
It’s important to run PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) and cycle properly to minimize negative side effects and to ensure that the benefits of Anavar are maximized while minimizing the risks.
Anavar by Apoxar is one of the very few anabolic steroids that is suitable for female athletes (in doses significantly lower than those of male athletes).
Anavar, regardless of the manufacturer, in higher doses requires a testosterone base — an addition of injectable testosterone to the cycle alongside the oral compound. It’s crucial for those who take high doses of Anavar to avoid natural testosterone production shutdown.
Aside from its use in bodybuilding and medicine, Anavar also had a practical application during the Vietnam War. It was used by soldiers to help maintain muscle mass and strength during long periods of physical activity and limited food availability.
