Pronounced muscle growth (oxymetholone is considered one of the most effective steroids in bodybuilding for gaining muscle mass – up to 15 kg of muscle mass per 1 course, after the course there is a noticeable pullback phenomenon – up to 30% of the gained mass can be lost, as some weight gain is due to accumulation liquids). 

Anapolon in a number of athletes eliminates joint pain, improves their function (due to the greater production of synovial fluid, is partially due to the progestin nature). But this useful property is not noted by all athletes.

Provimed is often used in bodybuilding during a course of anabolic steroids to solve various problems. 

It is a weak aromatase inhibitor, that is, it slightly prevents the conversion of steroids into estrogens in the body. It has practically no effect on the body’s own production of testosterone (it can be suppressed in large doses), but it helps to increase the concentration of free testosterone in the blood due to the fact that it blocks the activity of sex hormone-binding globulin. These properties make Provimed an attractive remedy during the course. 

The usual daily dosage for men is 50 mg per day, preferably after a meal. A dosage of up to 100 mg of Provimed per day is considered acceptable. Higher doses of Provimed may lead to effects opposite to what is expected.
