Stanozolol (Winstrol) by Syntex labs is an oral steroid which contains 25mgs of the hormone stanozolol.

The oral preparation of this substance allows bodybuilders to avoid the discomfort of everyday injections which are the normally the protocol with the injectable version. Due to the fact that taking this product with food can cause absorbtion problems, it is recommended that one take Stanozolol (Winstrol) on an empty stomach for best results. Some bodybuilders also choose to split up their dosage of Stanozolol (Winstrol) throughout the day in an effort to keep blood levels as consistent as possible.

Users of winstrol often report good gains in strength, vascularity, and muscle tone. People often report very intense muscle “pumps” during workouts when using this compound. This can be attributed to the dynamic protein synthesis and nitrogen retention brought about by the use of this steroid. Some studies have also shown that winstrol has estrogen and progesterone blocking abilities, making it a good choice to use with other steroids such as Testosterone , Deca or Trenbolone.

Winstrol also does a very good job of reducing the amount of SHBG in the body, thus allowing other steroids to be much more abundant in their free state in the body. Due to this fact, Stanozolol (Winstrol) makes a great addition to all cycles. Winstrol is a C17-alpha alkylated compound, and therefore can be toxic to the liver over time. Because of this, it is recommended that bodybuilders using this compound try to keep dosage in a reasonable range and limit cycle duration to 10wks. There are also several liver protectants and detoxifiers available which should be considered when doing a cycle of this steroid.

Due to its low androgenic activity, Stanozolol (Winstrol) is a very good choice for women bodybuilders. Males typically use Stanozolol (Winstrol) in dosages of 40-100mgs a day for a period of 6-8 weeks. 5-10mg a day for a period of 4-6 weeks is the normal dosage range for women.
