Overview and History

For fifty years and running Anavar (also known as Oxandrolone) has been a key player in the world of anabolic steroids. It gained its fame during the 1960s and the 1980s when research of anabolic steroids was fast gaining popularity. Anavar was discovered at a time when science was in a race against time to find a perfect anabolic steroid. It was the closest science ever came to realizing the dream of the perfect anabolic steroid. It has a remarkable side effect-to-benefit-ratio and safety profile that guarantees safe use for both children and females.

Its history began back in 1962 when it was referred to as Oxandolone. It did not take long before it was released into the market under the brand Anavar by G. D Searle & Co. Laboratories (currently referred to as Pfizer Inc). Over the years, Oxandrolone has been manufactured as an anabolic steroid each time under a different brand such as Lonavar, Lipidex, Protivar, Antitriol and Anatrophil. However, out of all these brands only one stood out, Anavar, it recorded the highest number of patient tolerance.

 Functions and Traits

Anavar is an altered derivative of dihydrotestosterone, which possesses several alterations that influences its effectiveness. Originally, Raphael Pappo (Searle Laboratories) created Anavar by altering dihydrotestosterone using an additional oxygen atom to replace the carbon-2 present in the A-ring. This modification increases the anabolic activity of hormones and also prevents it from any metabolic breakdown.
