    Anavar Side Effects

    What are the side effects of Anavar ? I heard it was the least toxic and with the least side effects but what are the side effects if any?

    Anavar is a DHT derivative. Hairloss can happen.

    It can shut your boys down. I had to do a small PCT after running only var.

    not a vet, nor am i arguing cause your probably right, but ive done research and never once heard that it causes hairloss!! It can defly shut you down, although there are ways to stop or minimize this w/ natural products.

    Ive also never heard of var causing acne either. I can tell you that it can cause fartiness and give you protein $hits tho.

    but like i said... i aint no vet baby!!

    Hey MBH, when you say small... how do you figure out how much PCT to use. Im running a var only right now and plan on pct, but i was always going to do the reg amount. thanks

    You say it can "shut you down" for good or just while you are using it?

    I can't remember. I didn't do a full blown PCT. Did enough to get me back to where I felt good.

    No offense taken. DHT is DHT bro. It is a lot less than winny or primo...but can still hit the hairline. Ask me about my own personal experience. I lost hair from an anavar only cycle...even when using proscar (which we all know won't help anyway when using a DHT deriv).

    hahaha no bro. If it shuts you down, it will only temporarily do it. Thats what pct is for... to jump start your natural test production to normal again, with no gap imbetween!!

    I experienced no side effects from var at 40mg ED. Everyone reacts differently though. Just insane strength gains

    You don't usualy get hair loss unless you are already prone to it - i.e. if your dad or an unlce lost hair very early on in life them maybe the var could cause you to shed a few hairs. For the vast majority, you won't see any hair loss at all.

    I wouldnt worry about hairloss w/ Var. but, like you just read, everyone is different. the reason why i questioned MBH is b/c my workout partner is thinning and hairloss was a major concern. So far he has not had a problem!

    how many mg are you taking a day?

    Not true. The male pattern balding gene is passed through the X chromosome...meaning through your mother. So the look at men's hair on the mother's side of the family for traits of balding.

    Depends on your stats bro. How tall/weight, etc? 40mg ED worked well for me, but that was ME.

    If you are prone to hairloss you are prone by any means of steriods I'm sure. I have a friend who has more hair on his head than anyone I know, he has taken anadrol , test, sust, etc close to 5 or 6 times in the past 5 years. Freak of genetics - he hasnt lost any hair yet.

    I am wrong, sorry Money Boss Hustla, I did not know this!

    "General Pharmacy Profiles":
    Anavar is a mild anabolic with low androgenic activity. Its reduced androgenic activity has much to due 4vith the fact that it is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone. Although you might think at first glance this would make it a more androgenic steroid , it in fact creates a steroid that is less androgenic because it is already "5-alpha reduced". In other words, it lacks the capacity to interact with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and convert to a more potent "dihydro° form. It is a simply matter of where a steroid is capable of being potentiated in the body, and with oxandrolone we do not have the same potential as testosterone , which is several times more active in androgen responsive tissues compared to muscle tissue due to its conversion to DHT. It essence oxandrolone has a balanced level of potency in both muscle and androgenic target tissues such as the scalp, skin and prostate. This is a similar situation as is noted with Primobolan and Winstrol , which are also derived from dihydrotestosterone yet not known to be very androgenic substances.

    No sides for me unless you considr insane pumps, vascularity and increased strength a side. I wish I could stay on this stuff year round.

    Truth is, it did slow down the libido, but that was it.

    Then read on or have someone read it to you.

    BTW, Hooker, why would this information not be in your anavar profile?

    Did you have a similar reaction to test, or just the Anavar ?

    I was okay on test...I could use proscar to help stop the conversion.
