Anavar actually is used to ease bone pain.
Anavar’s popularity comes from its mild nature. It is one of the safest steroids. But here are some side effects that using Anavar may bring:
As a modified 17 alpha alkylated steroid it does carry a liver toxic nature. That being said, it’s hepatoxic nature is significantly less than other oral steroids.
Anavar does not aromatize into estrogen so an aromatase inhibitor (AI) is not needed. This also makes side effects like gynecomastia, water retention and increases in blood pressure impossible.
All steroids will negatively impact cholesterol levels. This isn’t a huge concern unless you have pre-existing cholesterol issues. The negative effects on cholesterol can be easily mitigated by following a cholesterol friendly diet (high in omega 3 fatty acids and vegetables and low in saturated fats, simple sugars and refined carbohydrates) and by regularly incorporating cardio into your training program.
