What is Anadrol?
Anadrol (Oxymetholone), called A-Bombs in the fitness community, is a synthetic anabolic steroid. It was developed in 1960 by Zoltan. Medical uses are for osteoporosis treatement, stimulating muscle growth in malnourished patients and anaemia. Today other drugs have replaced anadrol for those medical uses but it has found a new home with HIV wasting syndrome.

Anadrol is extremely anabolic; in fact, it is more than 3 times more anabolic than testosterone. Many times its important to ignore these ratios as they can be misleading but I believe in this case it is accurate. This means mass and strength building which makes it ideal for powerlifters and those looking to put on mass quickly.

Anadrol comes in oral form in 50 mg tablets which is why some refer to it as A50. As you could guess it is 17-Alpha-Alkylated steroid, meaning that it has been altered at the 17th carbon position to survive oral ingestion. This means it is liver toxic so precautions should be taken including avoiding alcohol, running liver cleaning support supplements and of course limiting the duration of use of anadrol to 6 weeks or less. Some experienced users will run it longer but that isn& acute;t recommended for liver safety.
Oddly enough, Anadrol is a DHT-derived compound as well which blows away the fitness board theory that everything that is DHT based doesn& acute;t help build mass. Due to this, anadrol can& acute;t actually convert to estrogen, and its not a progestin or a compound with progestenic activity, so what causes the bloat and the accompanying side effects like high blood pressure, headache, bloating and the lipid strain unwell feeling? It is theorized that anadrol can actually stimulate the estrogen receptor without actually converting. Whatever it is you definitely want to be running support supplements when you take anadrol and monitor your lipid health very closely.
