Key Benefits
Anadrol
01 Rapid and dramatic increases in muscle mass and bodyweight
02 Exceptional strength gains, often noticeable within the first week
03 Potent stimulation of erythropoietin and red blood cell production
04 Increased appetite and nutrient partitioning in some users
05 Improved recovery between training sessions

07 FDA-approved treatment for various forms of anemia
HGH
01 Improved body composition (increased lean mass, decreased fat)
02 Enhanced bone mineral density
03 Improved lipid profile
04 Increased exercise capacity
05 Better quality of life and mood
06 Skin, hair, and nail improvements
07 Enhanced recovery and healing
Dosing Protocols
Anadrol
25-50 mg/day / Once or twice daily (oral)
HGH

Medical GHD (Starting) 0.15-0.3mg/day (0.5-1 IU) Once daily
Medical GHD (Maintenance) 0.4-0.8mg/day (1.2-2.4 IU) Once daily

Side Effects
Anadrol
Significant water retention and bloating (estrogenic, not aromatase-mediated)
Elevated blood pressure (fluid volume and RBC increase)
Severe liver stress and elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT)
Back pumps and lower back pain during exercise
Headaches (often blood pressure-related)
Appetite suppression (paradoxical for a mass-building compound)
Lethargy and fatigue (hepatic strain-related)
Acne and oily skin
Suppression of natural testosterone production
HGH
Water retention and fluid accumulation
Joint pain and stiffness
Carpal tunnel syndrome (usually resolves with dose reduction)
Headaches
Numbness/tingling in hands
Contraindications
Pre-existing liver disease or significantly elevated liver enzymes
Prostate cancer or breast cancer in males
Nephrotic phase of nephritis
Hypercalcemia (Anadrol can exacerbate calcium levels)
Pregnancy (Category X - causes virilization of the female fetus)
Known hypersensitivity to oxymetholone
Concurrent use of other 17-alpha alkylated oral steroids (compounded liver toxicity)
Active cancer (may accelerate tumor growth)
Acute critical illness (increased mortality in ICU patients)
Closed epiphyses in children (for growth promotion)
Pregnancy/breastfeeding
