Oxandrolone was established in 1964 in the depths of an American company, "Searle" (Searle Co) and has been sold under the trademark "Anavar" in the U.S.A. market for over 25 years. July 1, 1989 American Anavar production was discontinued. Now, under the same brand name products are being sold by Chinese company "Hubei Huansi" (Hubei Huangshi); however, in contrast to the progenitor, each tablet contains Chinese Anavar twice the active ingredient - 5 mg. In addition to China, the market is fairly long established drug Oxandrolone SPA Italy S.p.A. Milano Co, each tablet contains the "classic" 2.5 mg of oxandrolone in fact. As acknowledged by the well-known bodybuilder Mike Christian, it was his first Anavar anabolic steroids and gavehim an impressive increases in strength and mass. History is silent about the dosages used by the Mike Christian, but to this day he remains perhaps the only athlete who has gained such a success. In general, oxandrolone is considered a very mild drug, when taken it in reasonable dosages you won`t have particular side effects, but does not lead to any noticeable advances in the recruitment of muscle mass. This is not surprising because oxandrolone was created specifically for women and children.Oxandrolone fairly well stabilizes the androgen receptor, but absolutely does not have NEAR-activity. Due to the structure of its molecules, the steroid does not susceptible to aromatization, regardless of dose, and is not converted into dihydrotestosterone. All this has positive features, but significantly reduces the effectiveness of the drug. The situation has been corrected slightly at higher doses (for men, more or less effective is the dosage of 1 mg per 1 kg of body weight per day, for women - two times smaller), but even 150 mg oxandrolone per day does not give spectacular increases in weight. In any case, the impact of this dose can not be compared with impact of three times lower dose of methandrostenolone or oxymetholone. If we consider the price of oxandrolone, or even feel sad. It should also be remembered that in excess of the daily dosage of 40 mg of the drug may exhibit toxicity to the liver (it is not strange, oxandrolone alkylated 17-alpha). Those who dare to use the drug, remember: a half-life oxandrolone is 8 hours, which means that its daily dose should be divided into three equal parts. Still, oxandrolone has a scope, even a little. First, as has been already mentioned, is an ideal steroid oxandrolone for women and young athletes, only it does not cause virtually no virilization phenomena, in addition, the use of oxandrolone does not lead to premature closure of the so-called "growth areas" in young people. Secondly, the use of steroids between cycles will help to some extent, to preserve the achieved gains. In this case you should take the drug once a day - at about 7-8 hours in the morning. Third, oxandrolone is used to prepare for competitions. The period of detection of the drug does not exceed 10-12 days, in addition, in conjunction with drostanolone (masteron) or fluoxymesterone (halotestin), it increases the stiffness of muscles. Of the other combinations should be noted the combination of oxandrolone with oxymetholone or methandrostenolone - such cycles will like those who does not allow the use of a syringe
