What is Oxandrolone (OXA)?
Oxandrolone, commonly known as Anavar or OXA, is one of the mildest and safest anabolic steroids—especially at 10mg doses. It’s a DHT-derived oral compound prized for preserving lean muscle, improving strength, and cutting fat without causing bloating or estrogenic side effects.
Because of its low androgenic rating, it’s popular with both men and women, and often used in:
-
Cutting cycles
-
Recomposition phases
-
Pre-contest prep
-
Recovery from catabolic states (medically prescribed for burns, etc.)
