Uses
Oxymetholone was originally developed by Syntax in 1960 and is a derivative of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone).
It is an orally active compound with a 17-alpha-alkylated alteration making it ingestible thus not breaking down when metabolised by the gut and liver.
It is used in bulking stacks and often used in conjunction with other anabolic steroids as a “kick start” or added to finish a cycle when gains have slowed or plateaued.
Medical uses: It is given to AIDs patients, HIV positive patients or those with muscle wasting diseases to attain weight and also to put on weight when lost.
It is also given to those who have Anemia, or when red blood count (RBC) is low. Doses range from 25-100mg/ED depending on age, gender, disease and how toxic the drug is to the patient.
Performance Enhancement : Anadroxyl is used as a bulking compound during the first 4-6 weeks of a cycle. It is classified as a bulking agent due to its ability to add mass in a small amount of time.
Much of this is because of extracellular water retention, but it also adds lean muscle tissue with a sufficient training regime and protein rich diet.
It is used widely by power lifters and strongmen where the added mass is a positive effect.
Anadroxyl will also add a lot of strength to the users frame because it’s a very androgenic compound. Gains of 5-10 lbs are not unheard of in the first 1-2 weeks when using Anadroxyl.
Due to its effects of increasing RBC, it can also improve stamina.
Stacks well with: Anadroxyl shouldn’t be used alone in most cases due to it being inhibitive to the HPTA, suppressing the body’s own testosterone levels.
It can inhibit endogenous testosterone levels, so should be used with a form of testosterone, such as Testosteron Enanthate/Cypionate or any other estered version of Testosterone.
Due to it being used during the off season because of its ability to raise body weight dramatically and rapidly, it can also be used with other bulking compounds, such as Deca-Durabolin or Trenbolone.
Use should be limited to 4-6 weeks due to hepatoxicity and other side effects such as headaches and increased blood pressure.
