Anavar contains Oxandrolone, a synthetic anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT), known for its mild androgenic properties and favorable anabolic profile. Originally developed for medical use in promoting weight gain after surgery, chronic illness, or trauma, it is valued for its ability to enhance lean muscle mass, increase strength, and improve recovery without significant water retention.

Due to its mild nature, Anavar is often considered suitable for both male and female patients under strict medical guidance. It has a low risk of estrogen-related side effects and is well-tolerated in short to moderate treatment durations.
