Anavar - Oxandrolone is a steroid which is not only used by sports persons but is also recommended by doctors for the treatment of muscle wasting diseases. It is also given to burns victims. Anavar exhibits reasonable androgenic and little anabolic properties. This drug is known to act steadily on the human body bringing about changes that can easily be maintained later on. Anavar makes muscles harder and the body leaner. It encourages stamina and strength gains and gradually but steadily piles up the muscle mass. It is more suitable for the cutting cycles rather than bulking and is not recommended for bulking at all.
What makes Anavar ideal for body builders and athletes is the fact that no fluid retention occurs in the body with its usage. Fluid retention leads to an undesirable gain in weight and places the sports person (boxer, body builder, wrestlers) in a higher weight class category. Anavar, on the other hand, encourages the development of lean muscles, makes your bones stronger and especially gives the athletes the stamina and speed to compete in events.
Anavar comes without much side affects other steroids show. Firstly, it does not interfere with the natural production of testosterones in the body and secondly it does not cause Virilization. Virilization occurs in women athletes who use steroids. In Virilization, women develop masculine traits like unnecessary facial hair growth, hair on the body etc. Absence of Virilization has made Anavar the first choice of women athletes.
In the field of medicine, Anavar is used in the treatment of patients suffering from burns. It accelerates the activity of the Satellite cells in the body. Satellite cells are found in muscle fibers and perform the functions of healing and reviving skin cells and also help in their development. Anavar promotes their activity and so it is given to people who have suffered burns and also to patients who want to get rid of the scars left by surgery.
Anavar is also known to induce fat loss; studies show that users experienced a loss of abdominal fat with its use. Fat loss is achieved quickly if proper diet and exercise regime is followed with Anavar.
Anavar is not supposed to be liver toxic although like other oral steroids it has been altered to c-17 alpha alkylated compound which lets the drug clear when it first pass through by liver without getting damaged. The long term use of Anavar can however be dangerous to the liver and may lead to liver related problems like hepatitis and jaundice etc. Some side effects of Anavar include a loss of libido, dizziness, headache and diarrhea. But they occur because of unregulated dosage or misuse of the drug.
