Structure and Function

Anavar is a modified form of DHT with structural changes that increase its anabolic activity and allow it to be taken orally. As a C17-aa steroid, it resists metabolic breakdown, enhancing its effectiveness. Therapeutically, it’s used for weight gain following surgery or severe weight loss, managing osteoporosis, and, historically, for treating hepatitis and supporting growth in children.

Benefits for Performance Enhancement

Anavar is highly anabolic (3-6 times stronger than testosterone) and mild in androgenic effects, making it popular for cutting and athletic enhancement. Men may find it less effective when trying to achieve increased muscle mass in comparison to other compounds, but women often see favorable muscle gains.

1.  Muscle Growth: Anavar provides lean gains without water retention, ideal for those seeking moderate muscle growth without accessive weight gain. Women are particularly responsive to Anavar’s effects.
2. Fat Loss / Cutting: Anavar shines during cutting cycles, helping to preserve lean muscle while enhancing fat loss. Users typically achieve a more defined, vascular look, benefiting from Anavar’s metabolic and lipolytic effects.
3. Athletic Performance: Anavar increases strength and endurance without adding bulk, making it a top choice for athletes who need power without significant weight gain.
4. Enhanced Recovery: Supplementing with Anavar accelerates recovery and boosts muscular endurance, allowing for more effective workouts.

Dosing

• Men: 20-80mg per day for performance; higher doses increase side effects.
• Women: 5-20mg per day, with caution at higher doses due to virilization risk.
