Anadrol – oxymetholone – Anapolon
With Anapolon, the athlete will see an unprecedented “pumping effect” in the muscle group during exercise. The body’s blood volume increases significantly, increasing blood flow to the muscles during exercise. Anapolon increases the number of red blood cells in the blood, which leads to better oxygen supply to the muscles. The endurance and performance of the muscles are increased. Even after several games, the lifter will have the original strength level. Some bodybuilders speak of an excessive and even painful “pump effect” that causes them to stop training one muscle group and switch to another muscle group after only a few sets. This effect makes the athlete feel fantastic during the workout.
The strong androgenic effect of Anapolon promotes fast recovery, so there is no need to worry about overtraining when using Anapolon. Often, after an intense workout, an athlete feels like they could train for a few more hours. Even if a weightlifter trains six times a week, they will clearly see their progress.
Although Anapolon is not a competition steroid, it does not resemble any other product that helps maintain muscle mass and allows for intense training while dieting. Many athletes use it in the last week before a competition, solving the problems of water retention in the body with estrogens and diuretics, making them look massive and lean on stage.
Opinions differ about the dosage
The manufacturer of the former Spanish Oxytozone 50 “Syntex Latino” advises 1-5 mg per kg of body weight per day, which means that a 100 kg athlete would take up to 500 mg of the product per day – 10 tablets per day according to the above prescription. This is completely unrealistic: the information is exaggerated and can lead to serious side effects. For any athlete, a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg body weight per day is sufficient. This corresponds to 1 to 4 tablets, i.e. 50 to 200 mg per day. In no case should you take more than 4 tablets. Anyone who wants to use this medication should start with one tablet of 50 mg per day. After a few days (preferably a week), the daily dose can be doubled and taken in the morning and evening with meals. Athletes who are advanced or weigh more than 100 kg can increase the dose to 150 mg per day in the third week, but this dose should not be taken for more than 2 to 3 weeks. Since the receptors are saturated very quickly, it seems reasonable to limit the duration of use to a maximum of 6-10 weeks.
Side effects of Anadrol 50
Anadrol 50 is not an anabolic steroid with very beneficial side effects. This is largely the reason why its use is limited in a therapeutic sense. However, in most cases, the effects can be managed. To understand the side effects of Anadrol, we have divided them into different categories with all the necessary information.
- estrogen
The hormone oxymetholone is not aromatized. It is not affected by the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. In addition, it is not a progestin and has no progestin character, but remains strongly estrogenic. How and why it is so estrogenic remains a mystery. There are several theories, the most convincing of which is that oxymetholone can activate estrogen receptors more than many other steroids.
Because of the estrogenic nature of Anadrol, gynecomastia can be a serious problem, as can excessive water retention. An estrogen medication is required to combat gynecomastia. Antiestrogens also have a positive effect on water retention, but when used with Anadrol, there is an interesting flavor. Estrogen inhibitors commonly used by athletes include selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen citrate (Nolvadex) and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) such as anastrozole (Arimidex).
- androgenic
Anadrol has significant androgenic side effects despite its relatively minor androgenic nature. The androgenic side effects of Anadrol may include acne, accelerated hair loss in individuals prone to male pattern hair loss, and growth of body hair. However, these are side effects that are highly genetically determined. For example, many people who take supplements do not have acne problems, but genetically predisposed people may have acne problems. It should also be noted that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not interfere with steroid androgenicity. It is the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase that causes the reduction of testosterone to DHT, but in this case there is nothing to inhibit since oxymetholone is already a DHT compound. - cardiovascular diseases
The hormone oxymetholone can have a significant negative effect on cholesterol levels, especially HDL levels. Although it does not appear to have a significant effect on LDL levels, it significantly lowers HDL cholesterol. Individuals with high cholesterol levels should absolutely not take this anabolic steroid. In fact, anabolic steroids should generally be avoided if cholesterol levels are not healthy. For those who are healthy enough to take supplements, it is very important to maintain a lifestyle that promotes appropriate levels. A person’s diet is the most important factor. Saturated fats should be avoided in large amounts, as should foods that generally cause unfavorable cholesterol levels. Omega fatty acid supplements are also highly recommended. - testosterone:
The use of anabolic steroids suppresses natural testosterone. How strong the suppression is depends on the steroid, but in the case of oxymetholone it is sufficient to justify the use of exogenous testosterone. Indeed, this is the case with most anabolic steroids. Those who take Anadrol and refuse exogenous testosterone therapy will find themselves in a state of low testosterone. This is not only a condition associated with a plethora of bothersome symptoms, but also a very unhealthy condition. When taking Anadrol, it doesn’t matter what form of testosterone you choose, but you need to make sure that you are taking enough of it to meet your body’s needs.
Once you stop taking Anadrol and all other anabolic steroids and all exogenous hormones have been removed from your body, natural testosterone production will begin again. It is assumed that there was no previous low. It is also assumed that no damage occurred during the use of HPTA supplements due to incorrect practice. Although natural testosterone production will restart on its own, this will not happen quickly. It is generally recommended that a man begin a treatment cycle (SCT) after taking anabolic steroids. This will stimulate natural testosterone production and speed up the healing process. It will not be enough to return you to your previous natural peak levels, this will take some time. However,
- hepatotoxicity
Oxandrolone is definitely a hepatotoxic steroid. Its hepatotoxicity is not the highest among anabolic steroids, but it is more severe than most of them. This is due to the fact that it is a C17-aa anabolic steroid. All C17-aa steroids are hepatotoxic, but their toxicity varies greatly. Due to the severe hepatotoxicity of this steroid, its general use should be restricted (see Usage section).
