Anadrol is an anabolic steroid that is very effective for building strength and lean muscle mass. When bodybuilders are taking this steroid, they will usually experience a gain of several pounds of muscle in just the first couple of weeks, gains will even continue as the fat levels in the body are reduced. It makes strength shoot through the roof, and will most likely increase aggression when in the gym. Most users feel way bigger than normal; this is due to huge water weight gains.

Anadrol can also be extremely damaging to your health when taken in high doses. As is true with a lot of anabolic steroids, the more extreme results will also yield far more extreme side effects. Anadrol will send the testosterone levels in your body through the roof, but it also will increase the body's level of estrogen. This can result in levels of Gynecomastia for nearly two out of every three Anadrol users.

Gynecomastia and issues with estrogen are very serious, but even more serious than these are the effects Anadrol can have on the liver. While on an Anadrol cycle, cysts can often form on the liver that contain blood. These usually will go away right after the cycle ends, but they are a little hard to detect until they reach the cancerous stage. This is the reason why people who take or plan to take Anadrol, even people who are experienced with the side effects of the drug, will always cycle on and off of the drug. Liver cancer is usually the result of using Anadrol for long periods of time. The side effects of Anadrol are temporary, so this drug can offer great results for those who use it responsibly, take small doses, and do it for short periods of time.

People who have a history of heart disease in their family should not take Anadrol at all. When people use anabolic agents it raises lipid levels in the blood, therefore a lot of steroids can possibly increase the risks of heart disease. So because Anadrol is more powerful than most steroids, the risks for arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, or edema is much higher than usual. So once again people who have a family history of heart disease or a history of high blood pressure and blocked arteries should never take Anadrol. Health is far more important than building muscle, so avoid Anadrol if any of this applies to you.

Anadrol should never be taken by women. Virilization is a great risk for any women who decide to take Anadrol. Anadrol should be avoided at all costs unless the woman is already hormonized and is completely unconcerned with the effects.

The side effects are very scary, but like most things, taken responsibly in small doses over short periods of time, Anadrol is relatively harmless and an excellent advantage for building muscle mass.
