The compound with the generic name
Oxandrolone SPA by S.p.A. Milano
Company (Societa Produtti Antibiotica) from Italy is the only
original anabolic steroid available in Europe which contains the
substance
Oxandrolone. There are 30 tablets in one box with one
push-through strip of 30 tablets.
Oxandrolone is a weak steroid with
only a slight androgenic component. It has been shown that
Oxandrolone, when taken in reasonable dosages, rarely has any side
effects. This is appreciated since
Oxandrolone was developed mostly
for women and children.
Oxandrolone is one of the few steroids which
does not cause an early stunting of growth in children since it
does not prematurely close the epiphysial growth plates. For this
reason
Oxandrolone is mostly used in children to stimulate growth
and in women to prevent osteoporosis.
Oxandrolone causes very light
virilization symptoms, if at all. This characteristic makes
Oxandrolone a favored remedy for female athletes since, at a daily
dose of 10-15 mg, masculinizing symptoms are observed only rarely.
Bodybuilders and powerlifters, in particular, like
Oxandrolone for
three reasons. First, Oxandrolone causes a strong strength gain by
stimulating the phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without
depositing liquid (water) in the joints and the muscles.
Powerlifters and weightlifters who do not want to end up in a higher
weight class take advantage of this since it allows them to get
stronger without gaining body weight at the same time. The
combination of
Oxandrolone and 20 - 30 mg Holotestin daily has
proven to be very effective since the muscles also look harder.
Similarly good results can be achieved by a simultaneous intake of
Oxandrolone and 120-140 mcg
Clenbuterol per day. Although
Oxandrolone itself does not cause a noticeable muscle growth it can
clearly improve the muscle-developing effect of many steroids.
Deca Durabolin,
Dianabol (D-bol), and the various
testosterone compounds,
in particular, combine well with
Oxandrolone to achieve a "mass
buildup" because the strength gain caused by the intake of these
highly tissue-developing and liquid-retaining substances results in
an additional muscle mass. A stack of 200 mg
Deca Durabolin/week,
500 mg
Testoviron Depot (e.g.
Testosterone Enanthate 250)/week, and 25
mg
Oxandrolone/day leads to a good gain in strength and mass in most
athletes.
Deca Durabolin has a distinct anabolic effect and
stimulates the synthesis of protein;
Oxandrolone improves the
strength by a higher phosphocreatine synthesis; and
Testoviron Depot
increases the aggressiveness for the workout and accelerates
regeneration.
The second reason why
Oxandrolone is so popular is that this
compound does not aromatize in any dosage. As already mentioned, a
certain part of the testosterone present in the body is converted
into estrogen. This aromatization process, depending on the
predisposition, can vary distinctly from the athlete to another.
Oxandrolone is one of the few steroids which cannot aromatize to
estrogen. This characteristic has various advantages for the
athlete. With
Oxandrolone the muscle system does not get the typical
watery appearance as with many steroids, thus making it very
interesting during the preparation for a competition. In this phase
it is especially important to keep the estrogen level as low as
possible since estrogen programs the body to store water even if the
diet is calorie-reduced. In combination with a diet,
Oxandrolone
helps to make the muscles hard and ripped. Although
Oxandrolone
itself does not break down fat, it plays an indirect role in this
process because the substance often suppresses the athletes
appetite.
Oxandrolone can also cause some bloating which in several
athletes results in nausea and vomiting when the tablets are taken
with meals. The package insert of the Italian
Oxandrolone notes its
effect on the activity of the gastrointestinal tract. Some athletes
thus report continued diarrhea. Although these symptoms are not very
pleasant they still help the athlete break down fat and become
harder. Those who work out for a competition or are interested in
gaining quality muscles should combine
Oxandrolone with steroids
such as Winstrol, Parabolan, Masteron,
Primobolan Depot, and
Testosterone propionate. A stack of 50 mg
Winstrol every two days,
5O mg
Testosterone propionate every two days, and 25 mg
Oxandrolone
every day has proven effective. Another advantage of
Oxandrolone
nonaromatization is that athletes who suffer from high blood
pressure or develop gynecomastia of the thymus glands when taking
stronger androgenic steroids will not have these side effects with a
this compound. The
Oxandrolone/
Deca Durabolin stack is a welcome
alternative for this group of athletes or for athletes showing signs
of poor health during mass buildup with
testosterone,
Dianaboll (D-bol),
or
Anadrol 50. Athletes over forty should predomi nantly use
Oxandrolone.
The third reason which speaks well for an intake of
Oxandrolone is
that even in a very high dosage this compound does not influence the
body own testosterone production. To make this clear:
Oxandrolone
does not suppress the body own hormone production. The reason is
that it does not have a negative feedback mechanism on the
hypothalamohypophysial testicular axis, meaning that during the
intake of
Oxandrolone, unlike during the intake of most anabolic
steroids, the testes signal the hypothalamus not to reduce or to
stop the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and LHRH (luteinizing
hormon releasing hormone). This special feature of
Oxandrolone can
be explained by the fact that the substance is not converted into.
For this reason
Oxandrolone combines very well with
Andriol, since
Andriol does not aromatize in a dosage of up to 240 mg daily and has
only slight influence on the hormone production. The daily intake of
280 mg
Andriol and 25 mg
Oxandrolone results in a good gain in
strength and, in steroid novices, also in muscle mass without
excessive water retention and without significant influence on
testosterone production. As for the dosage of
Oxandrolone, 8-12
tablets in men and 5-6 tablets in women seems to bring the best
results. The rule of thumb to take 0.125mg/pound of body weight
daily has proven successful in clinical tests. The tablets are
normally taken two to three times daily after meals thus assuring an
optimal absorption of the substance. Those who get the already
discussed gastrointestinal pain when taking
Oxandrolone are better
off taking the tablets one to two hours after a meal or switching to
another compound.
Since
Oxandrolone is only slightly toxic and usually shows few side
effects it is used by several athletes over a prolonged period of
time. However
Oxandrolone should not be taken for several
consecutive months, since, as with almost all oral steroids it is
17-alpha alkylated and thus liver toxic.
Oxandrolone is an all
purpose remedy which, depending on the athlete goal, is very
versatile. Women who react sensitively to the intake of anabolic
steroids achieve good results when combining
Oxandrolone/
Primobolan
Tabs and/or
Clenbuterol, without suffering from the usual
virilization symptoms. Women, however should not take more than 6
tablets daily. Otherwise, androgenic-caused side effects such as
acne, deep voice, clitorial hypertrophy or increased growth of body
hair can occur.
