What is Oxymetholone?

Oxymetholone, sold under the brand name Anapolon, is one of the most powerful oral steroids ever made. It was originally developed in the 1960s to treat anaemia and muscle-wasting conditions. Bodybuilders have used it for decades to pack on size and strength fast.

Quick Facts

How Does It Work?

Oxymetholone binds to androgen receptors and dramatically boosts protein synthesis inside muscle cells. It also increases red blood cell production, which means more oxygen reaches your muscles during training. The result is rapid muscle growth and a big jump in strength within the first few weeks.

What It's Used For

• Kick-starting a bulking cycle with fast mass gains
• Increasing strength and workout performance quickly
• Supporting recovery from muscle-wasting or low red blood cell conditions

What to Expect

Most users notice significant weight and strength gains within the first two weeks. At 25mg per day this is a milder, more manageable dose than the typical 50mg tablets, making it a good starting point for those new to oxymetholone. Some water retention is common, so scale weight will rise quickly.

Possible Side Effects

• Liver strain — liver support supplements are strongly advised
• Water retention and bloating
• Increased blood pressure
• Suppression of natural testosterone production
• Headaches and appetite changes

Cycle & Dosage Notes

Cycles are typically kept short — 4 to 6 weeks — because of the stress oxymetholone places on the liver. It is almost always stacked with an injectable base such as testosterone to maintain hormone balance. PCT with a SERM like Nolvadex or Clomid should begin shortly after the cycle ends to help restore natural testosterone levels.

Storage

Keep at room temperature (15–25°C), away from light and moisture. Leave in the original packaging.
