Message: | Chemical Structure of Anadrol
Oxymetholone, commonly known as Anadrol, is derived from Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and is a 17-Alpha-Alkylated steroid (17-aa.) The 17-aa alteration simply means the steroid has been chemically altered at the 17th carbon position to allow it to survive ingestion by surviving the first pass through the liver; without the 17-aa alteration the steroid would be destroyed before it ever entered the blood stream. The good news is by this alteration we are able to absorb a usable and powerful anabolic steroid; the bad news is this is toxic to the liver. As most oral steroids are 17-aa the toxic effect can be quite high but as it pertains to Anadrol this effect is more pronounced making it one of the most liver toxic steroids on the market.
