Anadrol Steroid

Anadrol is brand name for oxymetholone, and is one of the strongest androgenic steroids. Presented most commonly as a 50 mg tablet (Anadrol 50), oxymetholone is highly effective in promoting extensive gains in body mass, mostly by greatly improving protein synthesis. For this reason, it is often used by bodybuilders and athletes.

Although oxymetholone has got a very low binding capacity to the androgenic receptors, yet it has impressive effects in adding to body mass through a process of increased protein synthesis. Besides protein synthesis, oxymetholone can also cause increased red blood cells concentration at the muscle tissues. In fact, the effects of Anadrol as steroids can be so dramatic that an Anadrol user can gain an increase in body weight of 10-15 pounds in as less as 14 days. Such dramatic effects of Anadrol are however solely reserved for male bodybuilders because even a small dosage to females can initiate virilization reaction.

Anadrol, being such a high potency androgenic steroid has also got high side effects of estrogen conversion. Other related side effects of this high-powered androgen are gynecomastia and excessive stress on the connective tissue. In order to counterbalance these side effects, Anadrol is taken as a stack with other steroids that act as estrogen-inhibitors. To inhibit the estrogen conversion, common stacking steroids used by steroidal bodybuilders are Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) or Clomid (Clomiphene). Anti aromatase compounds like the Cytadren (Aminoglutethimide) and Arimidex (Anastrozole) are useless to stack with anadrol because anadrol does not act by the usual aromatase pathway. Super steroidal body builders, in order to gain an unbelievable amount of body mass and body weight in a very less time also combine Anadrol with deca durabolin or testosterone. The stacking of anadrol with testosterone producing hormones like Clomid is absolutely essential with Anadrol.

The problem of water retention has been also associated with Anadrol, but as long as the user feels impressed with the muscle bulk, water retention worries generally take a backseat for the bodybuilder. The pleasure of seeing a massive and well defined appearance in front of the mirror overweighs the fact of water retention and other drastic side effects. Anadrol is available in the 50 mg tablets avatar, and it is suggested that the usage range of Anadrol should never exceed 200 mgs or 4 tablets. The number of tablets that a body builder will need depends upon the body weight and the medical history of the body builder.
