3 amps, each 1ml x 50mg/ml
One obvious difference between Winstrol Depot and other injectables
is that it is not esterified, being sold as aqueous stanozolol
suspension. (It should not be called water-soluble: virtually none of it
is dissolved in the water.) This means that it does not have a
classical half-life, where at time x the level is Ð… the starting level,
at time 2 x the level is ј, at time 3 x the level is 1/8, etc.
Instead, the microcrystals slowly dissolve, and when they have all
dissolved levels of the drug then fall very rapidly.
For veterinary application, Upjohn claims that once-weekly doses
supply constant levels. I am not sure if that is actually true or not
– it might be true in terms of being clinically practical but not
literally true. If true, then it may be that the observation of
bodybuilders that frequent dosing is required has more to do with a
significant dose being required, e.g. 350 mg/week, rather than an actual
need for it to be injected daily. Unfortunately bodybuilders often make
illogical comparisons, and will conclude that daily injections are
needed, since a once a week injection of 50 mg did not do the job! Well,
of course it didn’t: the dose was too low. For a future article, some
urinalysis testing may be performed to come up with some more specific
information on this matter, since it is of interest to many.
In some cases, women have had virilization problems with oral
Winstrol at only 2 mg/day. Thus, it cannot be assumed that even a single
tab per day is necessarily safe for all women concerned about
maintaining their natural voice, avoiding hirsutism, etc.
Stanozolol has some unique biochemical properties which we will discuss in a later article.
Intra-muscular water based injectable
Overview:
Originally known as Winstrol, this oral or injectable steroid with a pronounced anabolic effect.
Good for:
Stanozolol does aromatize and water retention uncommon. It promotes
muscle hardness and strength without a substantial increase in body
mass. It is ideally suited for low calorie diets and contest
preparation. The compound is very safe and has few side effects,
however, the oral version can lead to some typical side effects like
acne, increased sex drive, and moderate liver stress, mostly due to the
fact that high dosages are sometimes used.
By itself, it does not lead to huge muscle gains, but rather lower
weight but quality gains. In combination it can be very effective at
good solid muscle gains. Users enjoy an increased strength without the
associated increase in weight.
Bad:
Stanozolol has a pronounced anabolic effect, but the decreased
androgenic effect means a reduced ability to stop muscle breakdown when
compared to high androgen compounds on low calorie diets. Due to its
short half life, higher dosages need to be used and this can become
expensive. The oral version is very effective but scarce.
Dosage:
Guideline dosage is 50mg of the injectable every 2 to 3 days and around 20 to 50mg of the oral per day.
