Xanodrol® is not capable of converting into estrogen even when used in high dosage and for long-term. Highly valued is its ability to influence the natural production of testosterone.
Together with PRIMABOL-100 they are generally considered the safest anabolic-androgenic steroids. One study confirmed that even 80 mg of oxandrolone per day did not significantly affect liver function.
For better and faster gains in muscle mass, strength and endurance, it is recommended to be taken with Propionate-100, D-DUBOL and RIPPED-250
OXANDROLONE
CHEMICAL NAME: 17β-hydroxy-17α-methyl-2-oxa-5α-androstane-3-one
HALF-LIFE: 9 hours
ANABOLIC RATING: 322-630
ANDROGENS RATING: 24
Characteristics
Oxandrolone has weak androgenic effects, thus causes a very strong gains in strength without excessive weight gain because the body produces almost no water retention. Oxandrolone itself does not cause a significant qualitative change in muscle mass. But according to recent studies, the resulting material is maintained in the long term. It does not aromatize in long-term use.
Structurally, it is a 17-alkylated derivative of DHT, which is unique among the steroids, unique in its substitution (replacement) of the second carbon on the A-ring oxygen (O). This small chemical change prevents aromatization and generally oxandrolone one of the least androgenic steroids with minimal side effects.
Because Oxandrolone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone it does not aromatizes and therefore does not cause the look of soft muscles, swollen appearance or gynecomastia in men. Also androgenic effects are minimal, even in sensitive individuals.
We can say that in normal doses oxandrolone causes virtually no visible side effects. Because it does not suddenly increase muscle gains, it’s suitable for users with a potential risk of higher blood pressure. Oxandrolone can sometimes cause bloating and vomiting when administered with food. Some users have also reported nausea when taking oxandrolone alone.
Oxandrolone is therefore widely used by power lifters who want to increase strength, but remain in their weight category. It is also a good choice to use in definition period, when the purpose is not gaining weight. It is valued as a very good fat burner. It is often possible to see several bodybuilders taking oxandrolone two months before the competition.
It is also recommended for conditions of catabolism or loss of lean body mass associated with AIDS, cancer, osteoporosis and hepatitis.
Effects and Benefits of the Steroid
- As one of the few steroids that promotes multiplication of muscle myofibrils, especially in long-term cycles of about 2-3 months.
- It is especially good in the second half of the cycle, but it can also be used throughout the entire cycle.
- The effect on a positive nitrogen balance is noticeable even with minimum quantities.
- Promotes the formation of creatine phosphate and increases its stock in the muscle.
- It is particularly suitable in a cutting diet but also in volume.
- Suppresses hunger, and recent studies have even shown fat-burning effects.
Side Effects
- Side effects compared to other substances are quite a bit weaker.
- The most frequently mentioned side effect is acne.
- Oxandrolone has quite a strong influence on the digestive tract, particularly at higher doses; regular diarrhea is often reported.
- It is a 17-alpha-alkylated preparation that is toxic to the liver, but not in extreme amounts.
- Studies where Oxandrolone was administered daily in amounts of 20 mg for 12 weeks showed minimal effects on increases in liver values.
- This substance, when used in short and low doses, does not affect the endogenous production of testosterone.
- In prolonged use, testicular atrophy is quite common.
- A study has shown that over a 12-week period of using 80 mg daily suppresses endogenous testosterone production by 67%.
Dosage
The recommended dosage is 30mg to 100mg daily for 6-12 weeks. The half-life is 9-12 hours. Thus, doses are usually divided into 2 per day, one in the morning and one in the evening. This substance stays in the body for approximately 30 – 35 days.
Although Oxandrolone itself does not produce large increases in muscle, it may increase the effect of other steroids. It can be excellent in conjunction with highly androgenic steroids of Anabol type or testosterone. In combination with other non-aromatizing steroids (stanozolol, methenolon) it is suitable for muscle strength and hardness.
Athletes claim the substance is detectable for 35-40 days.
