Mechanisms of action and common uses

Oxandrolone is a chemical derivative of the DHT compound, which is itself a metabolite of testosterone. It presents two important changes though, firstly through the replacement of a carbon atom with an oxygen atom at the second carbon point of its structure, hence the “oxy” part of its name, and secondly the addition of a methyl chemical group at the 17th carbon position, at its alpha point. This thus also makes it a c17-alpha-alkylated and adds to its potency.

Overall though, this item is a milder anabolic. Although not as mild as some may think, as it does elicit up to 44% more muscle protein synthesis with only 5 days of use.

It causes this through almost the same mechanisms as its unaltered counterparts, through binding with select androgen receptors and impacting the molecular signaling of the cells.

Being a DHT-based substance, Oxandrolone won’t cause a rise in estrogen when processed and, therefore, provides for a lean accrual of muscle mass. It also helps boost red blood cell count.

Meanwhile, as seen above, it’s androgenic tendencies are very low, making this one the most side effect friendly and tolerable compounds available.

Doses and administration

Due to the mild nature of Oxandrolone, it is most commonly known as a drug used by females. However, it is also commonly used by men looking to preserve lean tissue when cutting down in size. Regardless, the amount taken is still key to its effects, both positive and negative.

The most commonly applied amount for male users is between 15 to 60 milligrams daily. For female users, this drops to 10 to 25 milligrams daily. This is usually split into two administrations over a period of around 4 to 6 weeks.

It’s commonly used by some females with items like clenbuterol or primobolan for further lean mass growth, while males often include it in programs containing items like Winstrol, Masteron, or even Trenbolone.
