Oxandrolone: Basic chemistry and information

Oxandrolone has a pretty big reputation as an anabolic, that is highly favored and sometimes exclusively used among female recreational and competitive anabolic users.

It is chemically different from conventional testosterone because it has had a carbon atom replaced with an oxygen atom. This blunts a lot of its anabolic potency, but also makes for an extremely user-friendly drug. It doesn’t aromatize into estrogen, it also has a very mild impact on cholesterol levels and, despite its supposedly high androgen effect from its androgenic rating, it has a very mild androgenic impact on the body, particularly when it comes to virilizing effects, which explains why women are big fans of it.

Also, despite being also an oral solution, any effect on the liver has also shown to be relatively mild compared to other anabolics.

Starting off as a therapeutic drug, but soon showing to have a beneficial impact on lean tissue, there is no surprise that it soon made its way into athletic programs.

Commonly used doses

While favored by women, some men also include Oxandrolone into their program. Common amounts used by such recreational and competitive users would be between 10 to 25 milligrams daily for women, and between 20 to 60 milligrams for men.

Common phases and purposes

Due to its efficient but mild nature, male users would commonly only use Oxandrolone during phases where the goal is lean mass maintenance, usually close to a competition or in the off-season maintenance program.

Females, though, would generally use it during periods of mass acquisition, in order to boost lean size and strength.

These phases may last for between 6 to 8 weeks.

Combinations used

It would be uncommon to see both male and female users combine this drug with other, similarly efficient products like Masteron and Primobolan for women, and Trenbolone, Nandrolone or Winstrol for men.

Common outcomes

While thought as a mild agent, Oxandrolone has shown some surprising results when it comes to its anabolic impact on the body, showing over a 400% increase in muscle protein synthesis. This may mean that it is an often underestimated and efficient mass builder for some users, especially those sensitive to anabolics effects.
