For a majority of its users Winstrol tablets are noticeably less
effective than the injections. We are, however, unable to give you a
logical explanation or scientific evidence for this fact. Since the
tablets are l7-alpha alkylated it is extremely unlikely that during
the first pass in the liver a part of the substance will be
deactivated, so we can exclude this possibility. One of the reasons
for the lowered effectiveness of the tablets, in our opinion, is
that most athletes do not take a high enough quantity of Winstrol
tablets. Considering the fact that the injectable Winstrol Depot is
usually taken in a dosage of 50 mg/day or at least 50 mg every
second day and when comparing this with the actual daily quantity of
tablets taken by many athletes, our thesis is confirmed. Since, in
the meantime, most athletes only get the 2 mg Winstrol tablets by
Zambon one would have to take at least l2-25 tablets daily to obtain
the quantity of the substance one receives when injecting. For two
reasons, this, however, cannot be realized by must athletes.
On the one hand, at a price of approximately $ 0.70 - $ 1 for one 2 mg tablet on the
black market the cost for this compound is extremely high. On the
other hand, after a longer intake such a high quantity of tablets
can lead to gastrointestinal pain and an undesired increase in the
liver values since the tablets -as already mentioned- are 17-alpha
alkylated and thus are a considerable stress on the liver. Male
athletes who have access to the injectable Winstrol Depot should
therefore prefer this form of administration to the tablets. Women,
however, often prefer the oral Winstrol This, by all means, makes
sense since female athletes have a distinctly lower daily
requirement of stanozolol, usually 10-16 mg/day. Thus the daily
quantity of tablets is reduced to 5-8 so that gastrointestinal pain
and increased liver values occur very rarely. Another reason for the
oral intake in women is that the dosage to be taken can be divided
into equal doses. This has the advantage that unlike the 50 mg
injections - it does not lead to a significant increase in the
androgens and thus the androgenic-caused side effects (virilization
symptoms) can be reduced. Athletes who have opted for the oral
administration of Winstrol usually take their daily dose in two
equal amounts mornings and evenings with some liquid during their
meals. This assures a good absorption of the substance and, at the
same time, minimizes possible gastrointestinal pain.
