What is Oxymetholone?

Oxymetholone, sold under the brand name Anapolon, is one of the most powerful oral steroids ever made. It was originally developed to treat anaemia and muscle-wasting conditions. Bodybuilders and strength athletes use it to pack on size and strength fast.

Quick Facts

How Does It Work?

Oxymetholone binds to androgen receptors and dramatically boosts protein synthesis inside muscle cells. It also increases red blood cell production, which means more oxygen reaches your muscles during training. The result is rapid muscle growth and a big jump in strength within the first couple of weeks.

What It's Used For

• Kick-starting a bulking cycle with fast mass and strength gains
• Increasing red blood cell count and improving muscle endurance
• Breaking through training plateaus where progress has stalled

What to Expect

Most users see noticeable size and strength increases within the first one to two weeks. Weight gains of 5–10kg over a four-week cycle are common, though some of this will be water retention. Strength numbers on big compound lifts typically go up quickly and consistently.

Possible Side Effects

• Significant water retention and bloating
• Liver stress — regular blood work is strongly advised
• Increased blood pressure and potential mood changes

Cycle & Dosage Notes

Cycles are typically kept short — four to six weeks — due to the strain this compound places on the liver. It is almost always run alongside a testosterone base rather than on its own. A full PCT protocol starting shortly after your cycle ends is essential to help restore natural hormone levels.

Storage

Keep at room temperature (15–25°C), away from light and moisture. Leave in the original packaging.
