Oxymetholone
Anadrol. Powerful oral mass builder. 17-alpha alkylated.
Overview
Anadrol. Powerful oral mass builder. 17-alpha alkylated.
Severe liver stress (highest hepatotoxicity of common orals), dramatically worsens lipids, increases haematocrit significantly, can cause estrogen-like sides despite not aromatizing
Compound Guide
Ester: None -- oral 17-alpha alkylated compound. Most hepatotoxic of the common orals.
Dosage:
- Enhancement: 50-100 mg/day for 4-6 weeks maximum
- Can split dose 2x/day but many run it as a single morning dose
Administration:
- Oral only
Key Notes:
- Most hepatotoxic common oral -- liver values will spike significantly; 4-6 week maximum
- Mandatory liver support: TUDCA 500-1000mg/day + NAC 1200mg/day
- Does NOT aromatise, yet causes estrogen-like side effects (gyno, bloating) through unknown mechanisms -- SERMs (Nolvadex) are the defence, not AIs
- Dramatically raises haematocrit -- monitor and donate blood if needed
- Massive strength and mass gains (10-15kg in 4-6 weeks including water)
- Appetite suppression is common at higher doses (50mg may be better tolerated than 100mg)
