How toxic is var?

[Boudreaux]

How toxic is it? Some say it's one of the most mild orals... Does that mean it's on the level of winny injectable as far as toxic, or worse... Anyone who has had there liver values checked while on var please respond to this as i'm very curious to know just how bad it is for your liver.

[dirtyvegas]

its not toxic at all for you..its rate at a 1 for being toxic and winny is rated at 2 for being just a little more toxic...

the easiest on your liver of all oral steroid

Var is not very Hepatoxic bro. It's the mildest commonly used oral there is.
However, you still shouldn't lose sight of the fact that it's a 17AA compound.
Prolonged use still has the potential to raise liver values and do some damage without the appropriate precautions. You should use liver protectants (I use Milk Thistle and ALA throughout cycle) and apply all the other common sense rules to oral gear use (avoid alchohol, consume large amounts of water, etc.).

Magnum thanks,
what's ALA?

[TheMindOfRoss]

My bretheren pretty much covered it--Anavar is soo mild that it has been used in the treatment of alcohol related wasting even in people with liver cerrosis. Anavar is the only oral steroid that can be used safely for up to 8-10 weeks. (In MODERATE dosages: 20-40mgs)

[Magnum II]

ALA = Alpha Lipoic Acid - an antioxident that helps to prevent disruption to liver cells. Good stuff.

[TheMindOfRoss]

ALA also increases INSULIN SENSITITY--so taking it PWO with your CARB/Protein shake will drastically increase nutrient uptake.

[Boudreaux]

I was going to run 60mg for 7 weeks... what do you think about that dosage?

[TheMindOfRoss]

NO....that is WAY TOO MUCH.....use the dosages I laid out for you--I GUARUNTEE SUCCESS. If you want to up the dosage slightly, I would say go NO HIGHER than 45mgs--anything higher DEFEATS the purpose of using ONLY ANAVAR , as even anavar will shut you down in higher dosages, making in it ever-more difficult to maintian newly aquired mass.

Trust me.

[Boudreaux]

Anyone else have an opinion on my dosage.. I weigh 215 11% BF.

[Duke of Earl]

I've run it between 40 & 75mg ED - 60mg is fine, but like TMOR says - it will shut you down to some degree (anything over 20mg or so will shut you down)
I wouldnt higher than 40mg without test, but with test 50 - 80mg is pretty good.

[Boudreaux]

dammit!!!! Will I still get fast and quality gains @ 40mgs... I just bought 3 g's of powder b/c I was told to do around 60mg/day...

Didn't you have half the thread where you took var for 18weeks and your liver levels were normal.
