Anapolon (Oxymetholone), also known as Anadrol, is one of the most powerful oral steroids used by athletes for bulking. It gained popularity for being an affordable and highly effective mass-building steroid, often compared to Methandrostenolone (Dianabol).

Anapolon is a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) derivative with an added 2-hydroxymethylene group. It is the only DHT-derived steroid specifically used for bulking, making it unique among similar compounds like:

• Masteron (Drostanolone propionate)
• Proviron (Mesterolone acetate)
• Winstrol (Stanozolol)
• Anavar (Oxandrolone)
• Primobolan (Methenolone acetate)

These compounds are often used for cutting, while Anapolon remains a DHT-derived bulking steroid.

SIDE EFFECTS

While extremely effective for mass gain, Anapolon may cause:

• Estrogen-related side effects (due to progestational activity)
• Liver strain (due to its 17-alpha-alkylation)
• Water retention (can lead to bloating)
• Potential androgenic effects (acne, hair loss, or increased body hair)

Unlike many steroids, Anapolon does not aromatize into estrogen, but estrogen-related issues may still occur. It is recommended to use an estrogen antagonist when cycling Anapolon.

DOSAGE

Anapolon is a potent mass-building steroid and should be used with caution. It has been successfully used for medical treatments, including AIDS-related muscle wasting.

Due to its strength, Anapolon is often limited to short cycles. Users typically take 50-100mg per day to achieve rapid gains in size and strength.
