Anavar Side-Effects


When supplementing with anabolic steroids one of the primary concerns is adverse side-effects and necessarily so; after all, if you fall prey to serious problems this can make the benefits you receive rather pointless. Of course as there are hundreds of various anabolic steroids and there are significant differences with each and every one we cannot simply say steroids carry these side-effects; in actuality we must go even deeper. Each anabolic steroid will carry its own list of possible side-effects and while there will often be strong similarities there can also be a level of uniqueness. Further, it is important to understand possible means possible, not guaranteed and moreover we must consider the total rate of probability. We cannot say if you supplement with XYZ steroid youll suffer from 123 side-effects; there are issues to consider such as total dosing, individual response and even the potency of the steroid at hand. With all of this in mind we want to discuss Anavar side-effects.

Oxandrolone is a very popular DHT derived anabolic steroid commonly sold under the trade name Anavar. A mild steroid but one that can be very beneficial, Anavar side-effects are also very mild and it is for this reason the steroid remains so popular. When examining Anavar side-effects we will find this is perhaps one of the friendliest anabolic steroids of all; perhaps the friendliest of all time; in-fact, even women can supplement with this steroid very safely and effectively. Lets take a look and see what we can find.

Aromatase Anavar Side-Effects:

Many anabolic steroids aromatize causing a buildup in estrogen throughout the body. This increase in estrogen is often responsible for many of the most common anabolic steroid related problems but in regards to the Oxandrolone hormone there is some very good news. Anavar side-effects of an aromatase nature are non-existent as this steroid will not aromatize at all. As it will not aromatize this makes Gynecomastia and water retention, two commonly feared side-effects impossible when the Oxandrolone hormone is in play. As aromatase will not occur protection that is often needed when other steroids are in play is not needed here; of course if youre supplementing with other steroids with your Anavar this can change things; here we are only concerned with the Oxandrolone hormone.

Possible Anavar Side-Effects:

As aromatase cannot occur this factor is moot but there are possible Anavar side-effects we must be aware of in order to protect ourselves. The good news is as a mild steroid most who supplement will have very little concern but as with all things we put into our body there is a possibility. While there is a possibility the probability of adverse Anavar side-effects is very low with responsible use; in-fact, the rate of probability is so low that most men who take high doses will not have any problems. Possible Anavar side-effects include:

  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Hair-Loss
  • Acne

Almost all who live a healthy lifestyle will never see their blood pressure or cholesterol change, not even slightly. As for hair-loss, only those who are genetically predisposed will carry this risk but as the hormone is so mild the odds will be in their favor. The same can be said of acne; only those who are predisposed to acne will have any problems and as a mild hormone its still a long shot.

Female Anavar Side-Effects:

The same Anavar side-effects discussed above are a possibility in women but in the case of the female athlete we must add to the list. The overall concern regarding females and anabolic steroid use is virilization as virilization can destroy a womans femininity. However, Oxandrolone in reasonable and responsible amounts will almost never cause this; in-fact, we can almost guarantee it. While this is true it must be stated; those who take large amounts do increase their risk. Further, there will be those who are simply extra sensitive and even at a low dose problems may arise. If you find you are one of the unlucky few you should discontinue use immediately. If you discontinue use at the very onset of virilization symptoms they will fade away quickly and no damage will be done. It is when the symptoms are ignored that problems will arise.

The End Game:

As you can see this is a very mild steroid and while there are some Anavar side-effects worthy of note the list is rather simple and easy to control. Of course it is also important to note that while a mild steroid Oxandrolone will suppress your natural testosterone; for some reason over the years a myth has started stating this isnt so. Rest assured, while a mild steroid and one that does not suppress greatly, natural testosterone production will be suppressed none the less. In the end responsible use will always be our best friend and if you can hold to this we can assure you youll more than likely enjoy your experience.
