Var-Alt

How your physique looks is largely dictated by your effectiveness in the gym, and your efficiency at the table, but it’s the intangibles that distance you from the crowd.  Imagine if you will that all your gym goals (size, strength, definition, endurance, recovery, etc.) are locks, each requiring a different and very specific key.  How well these ‘keys’ fit those locks determines your results.  Steroids.com has scientifically formulated an all natural version of Anavar, the singular anabolic steroid that functions like a master or skeleton key.  We proudly introduce our comprehensive new ANABOLIC AGENT, the remarkably unique VAR-ALT! 
 

What is Anavar and how does it work?   

Anavar (Oxandrolone) is an oral anabolic steroid in the DHT family that provides the user with some of everything.  It won’t make you extremely big or strong, yet it’s one of the most popular anabolics on the market because it possesses the unparalleled ability to simultaneously: build muscle & increase strength; enhance definition by significantly burning fat stores; improve hardness & vascularity; augment endurance & reduce recovery time and; still manage to provide unbelievable training pumps.  It’s so comprehensive that many novice steroid users achieve amazing results by using it in ‘Var-Only’ cycles, although veterans traditionally stack Anavar in a complimentarily fashion with other compounds, in order to augment the effects of their primary steroids.      
 

How does VAR-ALT work? 

VAR-ALT is scientifically formulated to duplicate Anavar’s rare ingenuity and unprecedented versatility.  Its proprietary blend of potent anabolic and fat mobilizing ingredients work synergistically to naturally: 

• INCREASE overall musculoskeletal SIZE & STRENGTH
• Better OXYGENATE WORKING MUSCLES for improved physical stamina
• Spare muscle protein stores via ANTI-CATABOLIC MECHANISMS
• AUGMENT both THERMOGENIC and LIPOLYTIC fat burning processes, INCINERATING STORED FAT DEPOSITS

Steroids.com’s scientists intensively studied and laboratory tested numerous compounds, until they were able to find the correct combinations of those ingredients that would synergistically lend themselves to their goals.  VAR-ALT’s remarkable properties are derived from: 

Cissus quadrangularis, a succulent vine from Africa and Asia. It is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in Thailand, and is a staple in traditional African and Ayurvedic medicine. Cissus has been clinically proven to promote weight reduction, and improve the symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome. It has also shown efficacy in: the control and lowering of triglyceride concentrations, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose; controlling appetite; promoting the increase of lean muscle mass and; improving cardiovascular health. 

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in the fat of beef and other ruminants. CLA has been conclusively shown to: increase lipolysis in adipocytes (visceral, between organs fat); significantly increase overall basal metabolic rate and; reduce via several mechanisms, body fat percentage (particularly abdominal fat) by 15-20 percent. 

5-Methyl-7- Methoxy-Isoflavone, a naturally-derived non-hormonal anabolic & anti-catabolic compound, is a family member of a group known as flavones.  This particular flavone, the 5-Methyl-7 variant, has been clinically demonstrated to:  prevent body fat accumulation in the whole body with an increase in lean body mass and restoration of bone mass; decrease cortisol levels; increase protein synthesis; improve overall recovery from exercise and; reduce high serum cholesterol.

VAR-ALT INGREDIENTS 

Cissus Quandrangulis 

General Uses:

Cissus quadrangularis is a succulent vine from Africa and Asia. It is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in Thailand and is also used in traditional African and Ayurvedic medicine. All parts of the plant are used for medicine. 
 
Cissus quadrangularis is used for obesity, diabetes, a cluster of heart disease risk factors called “metabolic syndrome,” and high cholesterol. It has also been used for bone fractures, weak bones (osteoporosis), scurvy, cancer, upset stomach, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), painful menstrual periods, asthma, malaria, and pain. Cissus quadrangularis is also used in bodybuilding supplements as an alternative to anabolic steroids. 

Anabolic Benefits:

“Our results support the hypothesis that the use of a Cissus quadrangularis formulation has efficacy in the management of weight loss and metabolic syndrome, particularly for central obesity. The use of the formulation (which also contains green tea, soy, chromium, selenium, and B-vitamins) over an 8-week period brought about a significant reduction in many of the anthropomorphic measures: weight, % body fat, BMI and, especially, waist circumference of obese and overweight patients, regardless of calorie-controlled diet (see Table 2)…In sum, Cissus formulation administered twice daily to obese and overweight persons with symptoms of metabolic syndrome results in both weight reduction and an improvement in the symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome. It has also shown efficacy in the control and lowering of triglyceride concentrations, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose. The formulation may also have applications in other metabolic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus.”

“AIM: Obesity is generally linked to complications in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a proprietary extract of Cissus quadrangularis (CQR-300) to that of a proprietary formulation containing CQR-300 (CORE) on weight, blood lipids, and oxidative stress in overweight and obese people. ..The increase in plasma 5-HT and creatinine for both groups hypothesizes a mechanism of controlling appetite and promoting the increase of lean muscle mass by Cissus quadrangularis, thereby supporting the clinical data for weight loss and improving cardiovascular health.”

AIM: To evaluate the effects of two formulations, Cissus quadrangularis-only and a Cissus quadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination, on weight loss in overweight and obese human subjects. METHODS: The study was a 10 week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design involving 72 obese or overweight participants (45.8% male; 54.2% female; ages 21-44; mean age = 29.3). The participants were randomly divided into three equal (n = 24) groups: placebo, Cissus quadrangularis-only, and Cissus quadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination. Capsules containing the placebo or active formulations were administered twice daily before meals; no major dietary changes nor exercises were suggested during the study. A total of six anthropomorphic and serological measurements (body weight, body fat, waist size; total plasma cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, fasting blood glucose level) were taken at baseline and at 4, 8 and 10 weeks. RESULTS: Compared to the placebo group, the two active groups showed a statistically significant difference on all six variables by week 10. The magnitude of the differences was noticeable by week 4 and continued to increase over the trial period. CONCLUSION: Although the Cissus quadrangularis-only group showed significant reductions on all variables compared to the placebo group, the Cissus quadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination resulted in even larger reductions. This apparently synergistic formulation should prove helpful in the management of obesity and its related complications.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) 

General Uses:

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) comprises a group of unsaturated fatty acid isomers with a variety of biological effects such as the facilitation of numerous chemical processes and lubrication of the skin and scalp.  It is a fatty acid that has been shown to reduce body fat and promote muscle tone in laboratory studies.  CLA is traditionally found in beef and dairy products and is naturally produced in grazing animals.  Cattle and other ruminants have a unique enzyme in their digestive systems that convert the linoleic acid readily found in green plants to conjugated linoleic acid.  

Anabolic Benefits:

“Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in the fat of beef and other ruminants. CLA is reported to have effects on both tumor development and body fat in animal models. CLA significantly increased metabolic rate and decreased the nighttime respiratory quotient. These findings demonstrate that CLA reduces body fat by several mechanisms, including a reduced energy intake, increased metabolic rate, and a shift in the nocturnal fuel mix.”

“A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial on 20 healthy people lasted three months. Researchers measured subjects' body weight and percent body fat at baseline and then every four weeks. Each day, the treatment group took slightly more than 1 g of CLA at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The other half took a placebo. The average weight of the 10 who took CLA dropped by about five pounds (not enough to reach statistical significance), but the body-fat percentage dropped by 15 to 20 percent, or from 21.3 percent of average body fat to 17 percent of body fat (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the group taking a placebo had little change.”

“Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to reduce body fat mass (BFM) in animals. To investigate the dose-response relationships of conjugated linoleic acid with regard to BFM in humans, a randomized, double-blind study including 60 overweight or obese volunteers (body mass index 25–35 kg/m²) was performed…The data suggest that conjugated linoleic acid may reduce BFM in humans and that no additional effect on BFM is achieved with doses > 3.4 g CLA/d.”

 “The effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on body composition were investigated…Total carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity was increased by dietary CLA supplementation in both fat pad and skeletal muscle; the differences were significant for fat pad of fed mice and skeletal muscle of fasted mice. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes CLA treatment (1 x 10(-4)M) significantly reduced heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase activity (-66%) and the intracellular concentrations of triacylglyceride (-8%) and glycerol (-15%), but significantly increased free glycerol in the culture medium (+22%) compared to control (P < 0.05). The effects of CLA on body composition appear to be due in part to reduced fat deposition and increased lipolysis in adipocytes, possibly coupled with enhanced fatty acid oxidation in both muscle cells and adipocytes.”

“Isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) are found in beef, lamb and dairy products. Diets containing CLA reduce adipose mass in various depots of experimental animals. In addition, CLA delays the onset of diabetes in the ZDF rat model for obesity-linked type 2 diabetes mellitus. We hypothesize that there would be an inverse association of CLA with body weight and serum leptin in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus…These findings strongly suggest that the t10c12-CLA isomer may be the bioactive isomer of CLA to influence the body weight changes observed in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Future studies are needed to determine a causal relationship, if any, of t10c12-CLA or c9t11-CLA to modulate body weight and composition in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, determining the ability of CLA isomers to influence glucose and lipid metabolism as well as markers of insulin sensitivity is imperative to understanding the role of CLA to aid in the management of type 2 diabetes and other related conditions of insulin resistance.

5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone

General Uses:

5-Methyl-7- Methoxy-Isoflavone, a.k.a. Methoxyisoflavone and Methoxy Methoxyflavone, is a naturally-derived, non-hormonal anabolic and anti-catabolic compound more commonly known as a flavone.  It has been shown to decrease cortisol levels, increase protein synthesis, and improve overall recovery from exercise.  5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone is suitable for anyone wanting to gain muscle size and strength without adversely affecting their hormone levels or health. Strength and power athletes (such as rugby players or sprinters), bodybuilders, or those interested in improving their physical appearance will likely benefit from supplementation with 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone. 

Anabolic Benefits:

“Body fat accumulation and bone loss are both often associated with estrogen deficiency following menopause…These results demonstrate that combined intervention of soybean isoflavone and exercise prevented body fat accumulation in the whole body with an increase in lean body mass and restoration of bone mass, and reduced high serum cholesterol in OVX mice.” 

Combined intervention of soy isoflavone and moderate exercise prevents body fat elevation and bone loss in ovariectomized mice.

“OBJECTIVE: Menopause-induced estrogen deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is related to a shift in regional fat distribution. We tested the hypothesis that estrogen-like isoflavones in soy protein isolate (SPI+) would lessen both regional fat gain and lean loss compared with isoflavone-poor soy (SPI-)…CONCLUSIONS: Gain in hip lean mass was greater (P = 0.014) in SPI+ than other groups, but SPI+ did not reduce the disease-promoting menopausal shift in regional fat mass.” 

Isoflavone-rich soy protein prevents loss of hip lean mass but does not prevent the shift in regional fat distribution in perimenopausal women.
