Oxandrolone (anavar) has often been used as a growth-promoting agent in the therapy of boys with growth delays in adolescence. Anavar is an ideal steroid for burning fat and giving the body a more cut look. Though it doesn’t give users tremendous gains in muscle mass, but the muscle mass gained and fat burned tend to be more permanent than with the steroids associated with large muscle mass gains. Another advantage of Anavar is milder side effects: limited effect on the liver and comparatively limited effect on the body's natural sex hormones.
