(Newswire.net — May 20, 2020) — Anavar was created in 1962 to promote lean muscle mass in those suffering from muscle-wasting conditions. Nowadays, this steroid is often used by bodybuilders as a way of increasing muscle as it can increase muscle mass.
If you are considering purchasing anavar, it is first important that you understand the risks and side effects of taking it. It is also imperative that you take this steroid safely, and stop taking it immediately if you start to feel ill or experience serious side effects.
Side effects of anavar
Anavar is one of the best-selling steroids on the market. This is because it has been branded as ‘effective and safe’ by researchers, even when used in the long-term. When used in a clinical setting, and in small doses, anavar only has minor side effects.
However, if anavar is abused, and higher than recommended doses are taken, the risks and side effects of this steroid increase. Here are some side effects anavar can cause if you take too much of it:
High LDL cholesterol
Research into the side effects of anavar has shown that, despite previous research suggesting that anavar actually lowered cholesterol.
However, this later research has shown that anavar negatively shifts HDL levels to LDL levels. HDL is the positive type of cholesterol and LDL is the negative kind. Taking large amounts of anavar can increase the risk of clogged arteries, and if very high doses are taken, anavar can cause serious heart issues, such as heart disease and stroke.
It is important to note that those with high blood pressure or heart issues should not take this steroid (or any other steroid).
Suppressed testosterone
When first taking anavar, it will increase testosterone levels dramatically. However, once your body adjusts to this hormone imbalance, it will decrease natural testosterone production. While on anavar, you may experience an increase in confidence, aggression and motivation. However, once you come off these steroids, you will probably experience fatigue and a reduced libido.
However, testosterone levels usually recover in 1 to 4 months.
Kidney Damage
Anavar is unique in relation to other steroids as it gets metabolized in the kidneys. This can put your kidneys under increased pressure, and if you are taking large doses, can cause acute kidney injury.
Conclusion
If you are considering purchasing anavar, you must first consider the risks involved with taking it. Most importantly, you must purchase anavar legally and only take the recommended doses.
