Stanozolol is a steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT), or more precisely, a form with a changed structure. Two structural changes on DHT create stanozolol. The first is that the pyrazol group on the A ring replaces the 3-keto group, which classifies stanozolol as a heterocyclic steroid. The second change is that stanozolol carries a methyl group for hormones entering the human body. This structural change occurs on the seventeenth carbon chain, classifying the drug as a C17-aa steroid.
The result of the above two structural changes is that the anabolic index of stanozolol is as high as 320, and the male index is only 20. More importantly, these indicators are also very good in practical applications. Stanozolol is an anabolic steroid with great benefits.
One of the advantages of Stanozolol is that it can reduce Sex-Hormone-Binding-Globulin (SHBG) more effectively than other steroids, which allows more steroids to be in a free state and increase free testosterone levels. Studies have shown that low-dose medication can reduce SHBG by 50% in just a few days.
Stanozolol can also enhance protein synthesis and nitrogen storage in muscles, increase red blood cell count, and inhibit glucocorticoids (adrenal cortex hormones) to a certain extent. Stanozolol is mild and easy to control.
Stanozolol is available in both injection and oral forms, and there is almost no difference in the effect. Users say that oral medication has always had a better SHBG effect, while injections are more effective, but the difference is not obvious.
Both injection and oral Stanozolol are C17-aa steroids, most oral steroids are of this type, but most injections are not. Injectable Stanozolol (also known as Winstrol Depot) is an exception.
What Stanozolol does:
Although it is used to treat muscle atrophy, Stanozolol is not a qualified off-season steroid for size gain. Its SHBG-lowering properties can enhance the effects of other drugs, but this is not recommended. Stanozolol is highly hepatotoxic, and C should be used where it is most valuable. It is obviously not suitable for men in the off-season. Female athletes can consider Stanozolol in the off-season, although it is not the best choice.
Stanozolol is more beneficial for physical competition than bodybuilding. It can greatly improve strength and speed without adding too much muscle that is not needed for these events. Some people point out that Stanozolol is not suitable for these competitive sports because it weakens tendons. This is not the case. Many studies have shown that Stanozolol can increase bone density, otherwise why would it be used to treat osteoporosis.
For bodybuilders, Stanozolol can make the body look drier and tighter, provided that your body fat is already low enough. It can also maintain lean body mass to a certain extent. It is recommended as an auxiliary steroid in C rather than a base.
Some people complain about joint discomfort when using Stanozolol. This steroid does not aromatize and does not store water. Usually, Stanozolol is used before a competition. At this stage, bodybuilders have very low body fat, usually in the single digits. At this level, joints may feel uncomfortable regardless of whether they take medication or not. In fact, the very common combination of Stanozolol and Nandrolone Phenylpropionate can greatly solve possible joint discomfort.
In the final stage of the state, both male and female athletes can benefit greatly. Stanozolol protects lean body mass, maintains strength, and increases blood vessels and line definition.
