What is Anavar?

Anavar is the brand name for Oxandrolone, a mild oral anabolic steroid first developed in the 1960s. It was originally created to help patients regain muscle lost through illness or surgery. It became popular in fitness circles thanks to its relatively gentle profile compared to other steroids.

Quick Facts

How Does It Work?

Oxandrolone binds to androgen receptors in muscle tissue, signalling the body to increase protein synthesis and retain nitrogen. This helps the body build and preserve lean muscle, especially during a calorie deficit. It does not convert to oestrogen, which keeps water retention very low.

What It's Used For

• Preserving lean muscle during a cutting phase
• Improving muscle hardness and definition
• Boosting strength without significant weight gain

What to Expect

Anavar won't pack on large amounts of mass like heavier compounds will. Instead, expect steady gains in lean muscle, noticeably better muscle definition, and meaningful strength increases over a 6–8 week cycle. Water retention is minimal, so most of what you gain is keepable.

Possible Side Effects

• Suppression of natural testosterone production
• Strain on cholesterol levels (HDL reduction, LDL increase)
• Mild liver stress due to its oral, 17-alpha alkylated structure

Cycle & Dosage Notes

A typical Anavar cycle runs 6–8 weeks at 40–60 mg per day for men and 5–10 mg per day for women. Because it suppresses natural testosterone, men should run a basic PCT after the cycle to help hormone levels recover. It stacks well with testosterone or other cutting compounds for enhanced results.

Storage

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