Description
The anabolic properties of this substance are still mild in comparison to many stronger compounds. It should also be noted that both versions of stanozolol l have been linked to strong adverse changes in HDL/LDL cholesterol levels. This side effect is common with anabolic steroid therapy, and obviously can become a health concern as the dose/duration of intake increase above normal.
The injectable version often gives more results. In similar doses there is still more breakdown upon first pass in the liver, making it difficult to get an equal amount absorbed. And on top of that it has to be mentioned that most people simply don't take an equal amount. Too many pills, lesser availability, higher cost.
Clinical Dosage
Stanozolol is indicated for the management of the anemia of renal insufficiency and has been shown to increase hemoglobin and red cell mass. Surgically induced anephric patients have been reported to be less responsive.
Primary hypogonadism testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, bilateral torsion orchitis, vanishing testis syndrome, or orchidectomy. Prologed androgen treatment will be required to maintain sexual characteristics in these and other males who develop testosterone propionate deficiency after puberty.
Stanozolol have also been used to treat refractory anemias and in selected cases of osteoporosis along with oestrogens and Breast cancer
Recreational Usage
Strong gains are never really made while using stanozolol (it's a weak androgen since it has no 3-keto group needed for androgen binding), but decent and fairly easy to maintain gains are possible.
Its limited time of use however makes most experienced users opt for other steroids in that regard. stanozolol, in bodybuilding circles at least, is used mostly during cutting cycles to maintain mass.
Stanozolol like a DHT compound also gives a distinct increase in muscle hardness and striations in people with a low body-fat percentage. This lends further credence that it too may be a an anti-estrogen. But most likely it has more to do with the overall lower levels of circulating estrogen.
Stanozolol is also quite effective at promoting strength because it binds very well at the androgen receptor. Short term stanozolol use can promote drastic strength. This combined with the red blood cell count-stimulating properties of its androgen affinity make it popular among track athletes as well in order to beget better results
