Winstrol Depot (Stanozolol) has a pronounced anabolic
effect with fewer masculinizing side effects than testosterone and some
other synthetic anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are used in
stimulating appetite and increasing weight gain, strength, and vigor.
They should be used as a part of an overall program with other
supportive and nutritional therapies.
This is a very popular anabolic steroid, which is a derivative of
dihydrotestosterone. Winstrol is a relatively low androgenic steroid
which will not aromatise. It is moderately toxic to the liver. Very few
users report any water retention or any other side effects while using
Winstrol. It is a popular drug for cutting in a stack with Primobolan
or Parabolan. When stacked with Testosterone it can be very effective
for a size and strength gain. Women use the drug quite often, but it
can cause virilising effects for some women even at low dosages. Most
of the muscle gains made while taking the Winstrol are retained after
the drug is discontinued. The injectable veterinarian form is better
than the oral. Many feel that the injectable must be administered at
least twice a week: some take shots every day for better effects.
Dosages range from 3 to 5 cc?s per week for men, 1 to 2 cc's in women.
Oral dosage is in the area of 16 to 30 mg per day for men, 4 to 8 mg
for women. Winstrol is not too hard to find on the black marked.
Stanozolol, commonly sold under the
name Winstrol (oral) and Winstrol Depot (intra-muscular), was developed
by Winthrop Laboratories in 1962. It is a synthetic anabolic steroid
derived from testosterone, and has been approved by the FDA for human
use.
Unlike most injectable anabolic steroids, Stanozolol is not esterified
and is sold as an aqueous suspension, or in oral tablet form. The drug
has a large oral bioavailability, due to a C17 ?-alkylation which
allows the hormone to survive first pass liver metabolism when
ingested. It is because of this that Stanozolol is also sold in tablet
form.
Stanozolol
is also one of the few compounds that women can
take safely, as its anabolic:androgenic ratio is quite skewed towards
anabolism.
Stanozolol
has been used on both animal and human patients for
a number of conditions. In humans, it has been demonstrated to be
successful in treating anaemia and hereditary angioedema. Veterinarians
may prescribe the drug to improve muscle growth, red blood cell
production, increase bone density and stimulate the appetite of
debilitated or weakened animals.
Stanozolol is one of the Anabolic steroids commonly used as an
ergogenic aid and is banned from use in sports competition under the
auspices of the International Association of Athletics Federations
(IAAF).
Use in bodybuilding
Like other anabolic steroids, stanozolol is classified as a Schedule
III controlled substance under federal regulation. In New York, the
state legislature classifies analbolic steroids under DEA Schedule II.
Used illegally in bodybuilding, typically "stacked" with other
testosterone-based anabolic steroids, Stanozolol is liked by many due
to the fact it causes strength increases without excess weight-gain,
promotes increases in vascularity, and will not convert to estrogen. It
also does not cause excess water retention, and even sometimes is
thought to have a diuretic effect on the body.
Stanozolol is commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders alike
to lose fat while retaining lean body mass. It is usually used in a
cutting cycle, to help preserve lean body mass while metabolizing
adipose, although it has not been proven conclusively that it has any
special fat-burning properties.
It is presented most commonly as a 50 mg/mL injection or a 50 mg
tablet. However, recently 100 mg/mL versions have become available. A
common dosage can be 25-100 mg/day, with optimal results usually seen
at 50 mg/day. It is reduced to micrometer particles in aqueous
suspension and does not have a typical elimination half-life. Authentic
Stanozol can easily be seen, because it will separate in its container
if left undisturbed for a number of hours (the micronized crystal will
fall to the bottom, and the water suspension will rise to the top). It
has a white, milky colour.
It should be taken no more than 48 hours apart, with some users
preferring to inject every day, or even twice a day, to maintain serum
levels.
An alternative to
Stanozolol is Furazabol. Furazabol's
effects are virtually identical to Stanzolol except that instead of
having an extremely adverse effect on cholesterol values, Furazabol
actually improves a person's blood lipid profile (at therapeutic doses,
not performance enhancing ones).Sold under the trade name Mitolan,
Furazabol is a standard treatment in Japan for hyperlipemia.
