Anadrol

Anadrol (commonly called by athletes “A-bombs”) was initially developed as a compound to help people with anemia, and has since been used very successfully to aid people who are suffering from many other diseases where weight loss is a concern. Thus, it is clearly an effective agent for promoting weight gain, increasing appetite, gaining strength, and increasing Red Blood Cell count. And, as with most Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids (AAS), it has its downsides as well. Anadrol  will inhibit your body’s natural production of hormones (testosterone, etc ), will negatively affect your blood lipid profile, can cause water retention, is notorious for causing headaches, and is also highly liver toxic (in fact, it has the worst reputation for hepatoxicity out of all steroids). Paradoxically, although one the benefits touted by its original manufacturer is that it can be used to stimulate weight gain through increasing appetite, taking too much may actually inhibit your appetite!

Anadrol Effects on Body

I think, in order to gain a complete understanding of the Anadrol effects on body, we need to take a look at its advantages contrasted with its disadvantages. Anadrol is a DHT-derived compound, and is 17-Alpha-Alkylated steroid, meaning that it has been altered at the 17th carbon position to survive oral ingestion. Most oral steroids are 17aa, and this helps them make it through your liver in a useful form. Sounds great, right? Lets 17alpha-alkylate everything! Well as you can imagine, there’s a down side.

Anadrol Side Effects

This 17aa alteration, which makes it possible for Anadrol to survive its first pass through your liver, also makes it very taxing on your liver. How taxing is Anadrol and how much weight can you gain from its use? Well, there was a 30 week study done on Anadrol and, as you can expect, a reasonable amount of side effects were noted. The fact that Anadrol causes some side effects has really never been in debate. But how effective was the drug? Well, first it should be mentioned that this study was done on people with AIDS related wasting, and they actually gained weight (8+kg) while the control group lost weight, and had increased mortality rates. (1). I suppose, if you’re in a study because you have a wasting disease which is also a terminal illness, you don’t want to end up in the control group. Anyway, weight gain in this study peaked at 19-20 weeks, though, so the  last 10 weeks weren’t very productive in this respect. Clearly, you wouldn’t want to run Anadrol 50 for 20 weeks, given its toxicity, but after that, any effect in terms of weight and strength gains would be negligible. So, with regards to sides from Anadrol, and the sheer fact that this study lasted so long (30 weeks), it should be apparent that they can be kept under control and the drug can be used safely. People are commonly told to limit their intake of Anadrol to 4 weeks or less I’m a bit less conservative and think you can easily run Anadrol for 6 weeks or more.

Anadrol— also known as oxymetholone—is an anabolic steroid that increases red blood cell formation, improving protein synthesis in the process.

It’s a substance that many bodybuilders use to help them bulk up rapidly. Oxymetholone works by boosting levels of erythropoietin, the hormone responsible for the production of red blood cells.

It’s often described as the ‘wonder steroid’ as it’s used to develop size and strength quickly. But, what are the pros and cons of using Anadrol and is it worth it?

Let’s find out.

IS ANADROL LEGAL?

Anadrol is an anabolic steroid. Without a prescription from a doctor, using Anadrol is illegal.

This controlled substance was originally developed to help patients suffering from anemia, but it’s only since bodybuilders started using it illegally that its muscle growth benefits were truly discovered.

What was described as a side effect for anemic patients was seen as a pro for bodybuilders and lifters. But, there are valid reasons why Anadrol is illegal—and dire health consequences from abusing the drug is the main one.

Withdrawal symptoms from the drug can be harmful to your health—and even deadly.

Federal law also classifies anabolic steroids as Schedule III controlled substances. As such, a first offense of possessing Anadrol without a prescription is a federal crime, punishable by up to one year in prison. So, if you are caught competing with Anadrol in your system, you will be banned from competitions for life.

HOW DOES ANADROL WORK?

Anadrol shifts the body’s nitrogen balance, which puts it into anabolic mode. In doing so, the body is more prepared to build muscle, so a trip to the gym will result in much more significant gains due to increased endurance and blood flow.

Anadrol, a.k.a. oxymetholone, releases androgen receptors, leveling up protein synthesis, stimulating anabolism, and inhibiting glucocorticoids.

This process has a massive effect on the body, resulting in:

• Greater strength
• Increased muscle mass
• Quicker recovery times

It’s not difficult to see why so many bodybuilders are keen to take Anadrol. But, to make an informed decision on the drug, it’s important to get a glimpse of the bigger picture.

What are the benefits of Anadrol?

There are plenty of body-boosting benefits of taking Anadrol. That’s why some bodybuilders can’t seem to get enough of the stuff. Oxymetholone helps to improve muscle strength and gains—and does so rapidly. And, many athletes take oxymetholone to enhance their athletic performance.

This means you’ll be able to:

• Work harder

• Overload the muscles to a greater extent

• Progress faster with your training faster

• Repair your muscles and recover at a faster rate

• Boost your bulk quickly
