NurExone Plans Small-Scale of ExoPTEN Clinical Manufacturing in Preparation for FUTURE First in Human USE Pathways

Supported by Scientific Evidence Showing Tissue Repair Quality of Company’s Exosomes

TORONTO and HAIFA, Israel, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX) (OTCQB: NRXBF) (FSE: J90) (“NurExone” or the “Company”), a preclinical-biotechnology company developing exosome-based therapies for central nervous system injuries, today announced meaningful progress in its long-term clinical-readiness strategy. The Company has begun the process of evaluating potential Israeli production partners to support small-scale GMP-based manufacturing of its lead candidate, ExoPTEN, in order to test the drug in under a First-in-Human Use program, pending regulatory approval.

Dr. Lior Shaltiel, Chief Executive Officer, noted: “ExoPTEN brings together a powerful synergistic impact with highly active exosomes produced, combined with a targeted siRNA. As we advance our manufacturing plans, small clinical grade batches will position us to prepare a First-in-Human use submission in the future, if and when the regulatory pathway supports it.” He added, “ExoPTEN is being developed for both acute spinal cord injury and optic nerve injury, although it has not yet been determined which indication will be prioritized for a first-in-human program.”

In parallel, NurExone reported new scientific data showing strong biological activity in its exosomes compared with commercially available exosomes, reinforcing confidence in the platform as the Company advances toward human studies.

Early Manufacturing in Israel: A Key Step Toward U.S. Scale-Up

NurExone is currently evaluating several Israeli manufacturing organizations with expertise in advanced biologics and Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”)-aligned systems for small-scale ExoPTEN manufacturing runs aligned with future clinical requirements.

“This is a strategically important next phase of operational de-risking,” said Dr. Ina Sarel, Head of CMC, Quality and Regulatory Affairs. “Israel is the starting point for our small scale GMP-production of exosomes and process validation, after which exosome production will transition to the United States for scale-up.”

NurExone emphasized that no compassionate-use or clinical manufacturing is being initiated at this stage. All such activities would be subject to regulatory engagement and approval.

New Scientific Data Reinforce Platform Strength

Recent analytical testing demonstrated that NurExone’s exosomes produced from human bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (“MSC”) exhibit significantly higher CD73-associated biological activity compared with a commercially available MSC exosome control. CD73 is a surface enzyme linked to extracellular signaling and tissue-repair mechanisms.

As shown in the graph below, the average of NurExone’s two manufacturing batches demonstrated meaningfully higher adenosine monophosphate (“AMP”) to adenosine conversion per particle compared with the control. The difference was statistically significant (t-test, p < 0.01), indicating that NurExone’s exosomes possess stronger functional characteristics associated with regenerative potential, or in other words NurExone’s exosomes can send stronger “healing” or “anti-inflammatory” signals.

These findings validate the potency of NurExone’s therapeutic exosomes strengthening the biological rationale for their use as a delivery vehicle in ExoPTEN.

These results demonstrate the high quality of the Master Cell Bank acquired by NurExone and the knowhow held by NurExone and its patented 3D shear-force production technology, indicating that the manufacturing approach described in the patent can yield higher-quality, more potent exosomes in practice.

Mineralys Therapeutics’ Phase 3 Launch-HTN Trial of Lorundrostat Recognized in Inaugural Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) “Research of the Year” Roundup

Mineralys Therapeutics’ Phase 3 Launch-HTN Trial of Lorundrostat Recognized in Inaugural Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) “Research of the Year” Roundup




Mineralys Therapeutics’ Phase 3 Launch-HTN Trial of Lorundrostat Recognized in Inaugural Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) “Research of the Year” Roundup

– Launch-HTN, the largest trial of an aldosterone synthase inhibitor conducted among participants with uncontrolled or treatment-resistant hypertension, was one of nine studies selected as most impactful of 2025 by JAMA editors –

RADNOR, Pa., Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MLYS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines to target hypertension and related comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other diseases driven by dysregulated aldosterone, announced today that the manuscript highlighting the Company’s Phase 3 Launch-HTN clinical trial evaluating lorundrostat for the treatment of uncontrolled or treatment-resistant hypertension, was featured in JAMA’s inaugural “Research of the Year Roundup,” a curated collection of the most impactful studies published between October 2024 and September 2025.

In introducing this first-ever “Research of the Year Roundup,” JAMA noted that its top editors were asked to nominate their favorite studies based on their importance and impact. The list of nine selected studies spans diverse topics – from hypertension, to dementia and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) – and, according to JAMA, reflects clinical conditions that are of great importance to patients, clinicians, and to the public health community.

Among this select group, JAMA profiled Mineralys’ Launch-HTN trial under the banner “New Hope for Treatment-Resistant Hypertension.” The Launch-HTN trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of lorundrostat, a novel aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI), when added to existing background antihypertensive treatment in 1,083 participants with uncontrolled or treatment-resistant hypertension. The trial demonstrated that lorundrostat significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (BP) with a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Launch-HTN recruited a diverse population as reflected in the high proportion of female, Black or African American and elderly participants in the trial.

JAMA highlighted several key findings from the Launch-HTN trial:

  • Lorundrostat’s mechanism targets excess aldosterone production, a root cause of hypertension. Unlike existing aldosterone blockers that obstruct the hormone receptor, lorundrostat inhibits the enzyme that produces aldosterone itself, offering a novel mechanism of action.
  • When added to existing background treatment, lorundrostat 50 mg dosed once daily demonstrated clinically meaningful, statistically significant mean reductions in automated office blood pressure (AOBP) with a 16.9 mmHg reduction at Week 6 (-9.1 mmHg placebo adjusted; p-value < 0.0001) that was sustained with a reduction of 19.0 mmHg at Week 12 (-11.7 mmHg placebo adjusted; p-value < 0.0001). These benefits were consistent across age, sex, race, body mass index, and baseline medication regimen.
  • Lorundrostat demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile in the Launch-HTN trial, noting that while hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and reduced kidney function occurred more frequently in the treatment arm, discontinuation rates due to adverse events remained below 1%.

In the “Research of the Year” article, JAMA’s Executive Editor Gregory Curfman, MD, emphasized the importance of advancing care for the large segment of patients whose hypertension remains uncontrolled despite being on multiple medications, noting that lorundrostat “opens a new approach to the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension, which may affect up to 40% of patients.” The article also points out that, until now, patients have had limited options despite facing heightened cardiovascular risks, including myocardial infarction, stroke, or chronic kidney disease.

“We are honored that JAMA has recognized Launch-HTN as one of its Research of the Year studies,” said Jon Congleton, Chief Executive Officer of Mineralys Therapeutics. “This acknowledgment underscores the significant clinical need faced by millions of people living with uncontrolled or treatment-resistant hypertension. The results of Launch-HTN reflect the dedication of our investigators, participants, and team, and reinforce our commitment to bringing forward a differentiated therapy to address a root cause of hypertension.”

The manuscript titled, “Lorundrostat in Participants with Uncontrolled and Treatment-Resistant Hypertension” was featured in JAMA’s June 30, 2025 issue. Lorundrostat continues to be evaluated in the ongoing Transform-HTN open-label extension trial, which is assessing long-term safety and durability of response. The Company also completed enrollment in Explore-OSA, the first trial to evaluate lorundrostat in participants with hypertension and moderate-to-severe OSA. Lorundrostat is the only ASI being studied to address both apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and nighttime systolic blood pressure in this population, with data anticipated in the first quarter of 2026.

About Launch-HTN
Launch-HTN (NCT06153693) was a global, randomized Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of adults whose blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite being on two to five antihypertensive medications. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: placebo; lorundrostat 50 mg once daily; or lorundrostat 50 mg once daily with the option to increase to 100 mg at week six. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in systolic BP at six weeks versus placebo, measured by automated office blood pressure monitoring.

About Hypertension

Having sustained, elevated blood pressure (or hypertension) (BP) increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the United States. In 2022, more than 685,000 deaths in the United States included hypertension as a primary or contributing cause. Hypertension and related health issues resulted in an estimated annual economic burden of about $219 billion in the United States in 2019.

Less than 50% of hypertension patients achieve their BP goal with currently available medications. Dysregulated aldosterone levels are a key factor in driving hypertension in approximately 30% of all hypertensive patients.

About Lorundrostat

Lorundrostat is a proprietary, orally administered, highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN) or resistant hypertension (rHTN), as well as CKD and OSA. Lorundrostat was designed to reduce aldosterone levels by inhibiting CYP11B2, the enzyme responsible for its production. Lorundrostat has 374-fold selectivity for aldosterone-synthase inhibition versus cortisol-synthase inhibition in vitro, an observed half-life of 10-12 hours and demonstrated a 40-70% reduction in plasma aldosterone concentration in hypertensive participants.

The Company has now completed four successful clinical trials of lorundrostat supporting the efficacy and safety profile while also validating aldosterone as an integral therapeutic target in uHTN and rHTN. The Company has completed two pivotal, registrational trials, including the Phase 3 Launch-HTN trial and Phase 2 Advance-HTN trial, which support the robust, durable and clinically meaningful reductions in systolic BP by lorundrostat. Lorundrostat was well tolerated in both trials with a favorable safety profile.

About Mineralys
Mineralys Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines to target hypertension and related comorbidities such as CKD, OSA and other diseases driven by dysregulated aldosterone. Its initial product candidate, lorundrostat, is a proprietary, orally administered, highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor.

DOC HOLLYWOOD: A Psychiatrist Takes 3rd Place with Baxter’s Brain at the American Film Market Pitch Conference

DOC HOLLYWOOD: A Psychiatrist Takes 3rd Place with Baxter’s Brain at the American Film Market Pitch Conference




DOC HOLLYWOOD: A Psychiatrist Takes 3rd Place with Baxter’s Brain at the American Film Market Pitch Conference

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Walter Jacobson, a Los Angeles-based psychiatrist, author, and first-time filmmaker, scored a major win at this year’s American Film Market (AFM) Pitch Conference when his outrageous comedy, Baxter’s Brain, took 3rd place from a panel of industry judges, including award-winning producer Cassian Elwes, screenwriting professor and coach Lee Jessup, and independent producer Loni Rodgers.

IMG_6533 copy

The AFM Pitch Conference is one of the market’s signature showcases where selected creators present their concepts live to top producers, financiers, and development executives.​

Walter first came to Hollywood years ago to write movies, but shifted gears to become a psychiatrist after deciding he needed more life experience to tell the stories he wanted to tell.

After 25 years in private practice, he has returned to screenwriting with Baxter’s Brain, a satiric, irreverent, over the top comedy that pokes fun at doctors, TV shows, and “the insanity of our society that has become the new normal.​”

After submitting a 2-minute video to the AFM Pitch Conference committee, Walter was one of 20 filmmakers chosen from over 150 entries to pitch Baxter’s Brain at the Pitch Conference on November 15, 2025.

“The response from the audience to my pitch was incredibly validating,” reports Walter. “It was a great affirmation that Baxter’s Brain is funny and that people will go see it.”

When asked how he feels about his screenwriting skills this second time around, Walter is very clear about this. “I drew from my years as a psychiatrist. Interacting with a wide range of people from all walks of life gave me insights into the quirks of human nature that my younger self didn’t have access to. I am immensely proud of the screenplay and confident that this is a movie that will bring a lot of laughter and joy to the world.”

Joining forces with veteran producer Franco Sama of Samaco Films, Walter has no doubts about Baxter’s Brain becoming a global box office phenomenon and a new comedy franchise. “People love wacky comedies like The Naked Gun and Blazing Saddles,” states Walter. “They are hungry for more and they will go to the theatres in droves if a really funny movie shows up. There is also a separate huge market of people who love movies with talking animals, like TED and Paddington. Baxter is a super-smart, talking gorilla. Audiences will love him! And you can take that to the bank!”

One wonders where Walter’s confidence comes from. “That’s easy. I’ve studied comedy my whole life. I know what’s funny. When I was struggling to make it as a writer, I produced a weekly show, Poor Walter’s Almanac, on cable TV, which was me ranting and raving about everything under the sun. Roseanne and Tom Arnold were fans of the show, as were many celebrities including Richard Lewis, George Carlin, Casey Kasem and Steve Edwards. The point of all this is to say that I made all those people laugh, AND Roseanne brought me onto her ROSEANNE show as a recurring character. So I must know a few things about comedy.”

So what’s next for Baxter’s Brain? “We need to get it financed and produced. I’m hoping this article will inspire the right people to contact me and help me bring Baxter’s Brain to a welcoming public.”

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“Intelligent Bio Solutions” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock, that will become effective at 11:59 pm (Eastern Time) on December 15, 2025. Trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) will continue, on a split-adjusted basis, with the opening of the markets on December 16, 2025, under the trading symbol “INBS” and new CUSIP number 36151G709.

The reverse stock split was approved by Intelligent Bio Solutions’ stockholders at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on October 16, 2025, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors within the ratio range authorized by shareholders.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of common stock.  In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to outstanding equity-based awards and other equity rights, including warrants. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, the stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. The par value of the common stock will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the reverse split, and the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain at 100 million shares. Immediately after the reverse stock split becomes effective, the Company will have approximately 959,533 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The reverse split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent the reverse split results in a stockholder receiving a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share, as described above.

New York City,, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

On September 12, 2025, CrazyBulk officially introduced Anvarol, a legal alternative to Anavar, designed specifically with both women and men in mind, addressing the growing demand for safer performance-support supplements. The launch comes at a time when fitness culture continues to expand, and many women are looking for support in achieving a lean, sculpted physique without relying on synthetic anabolic steroids. Traditional Anavar (Oxandrolone) has long been associated with physique enhancement, muscle tone improvements, and strength support, but its prescription-only status and potential hormonal side effects have created barriers and safety concerns.

Anavar legal Alternative Anvarol was created to mirror the performance benefits commonly discussed around Anavar—such as muscle definition support, fat-metabolism assistance, and training endurance—without synthetic hormones or the legal risks tied to controlled substances. This alternative formulation is based on natural and performance-supporting ingredients aimed at promoting lean muscle retention, energy, and recovery during training phases.

For women seeking muscle tone rather than bulk, this legal version offers an accessible option while avoiding unwanted effects sometimes linked to anabolic compounds. By combining compliance with supplement regulations, natural formulation, and a fitness-focused approach, CrazyBulk’s Anavar Steroids alternative Anvarol positions itself as a modern solution for women pursuing controlled, sustainable body-shaping results.

 Today’s fitness and sports communities continue to reference Anavar Steroids for its historical role in performance enhancement. Anvarol is 100% legal and available without a prescription.

What Is Anavar?

 Anavar, medically known as Anvarol, is an anabolic steroid Alternative By CrazyBulk in the early 1960s to help patients recover strength, rebuild muscle tissue, and regain healthy body weight after illness, surgery, or trauma. It belongs to a class of synthetic hormones designed to mimic testosterone, but with a more controlled and milder performance profile compared to stronger steroids.
Over time, Anavar became widely recognized in bodybuilding and athletic discussions because it is often associated with lean muscle retention, strength improvement, and reduced fluid buildup. Unlike some anabolic steroids that may lead to rapid bulk weight gain, Anavar is typically referenced for more moderate physical changes and is commonly mentioned in the context of cutting phases, where body fat reduction and muscle definition are the main goals.
Despite its reputation for being milder, Anavar is still a controlled substance in many countries and requires a prescription for medical use. Using Anavar without medical supervision or legal authorization can carry risks, including hormonal disruption, liver strain, and cardiovascular effects.
Today, Anavar remains known for its original medical purpose and its ongoing presence in fitness discussions, often highlighted for its heritage as one of the more selectively applied anabolic compounds. See Anavar availability and pricing from CrazyBulk

How do the Anavar Steroids Work?

Anavar Alternative Anvarol by Crazybulk, works by interacting with the body’s androgen receptors—the same receptors influenced by natural testosterone. Once active in the system, it helps increase protein synthesis, which is the process the body uses to repair and build muscle tissue. This makes it useful in medical settings where patients need help rebuilding muscle after injury, illness, or physical decline.
Another key feature of Anavar is its ability to enhance nitrogen retention in the muscles. When nitrogen levels are balanced and stable, the body remains in a more favorable state for maintaining lean muscle mass. This is one reason Anavar is often discussed in cutting cycles rather than bulking cycles, as the focus is on preserving muscle rather than increasing size.

Anavar is also associated with supporting metabolism by influencing how the body uses stored energy. While individual results vary, this may contribute to a more defined or toned appearance when combined with proper nutrition and training.
Even though Anavar is considered milder than many other anabolic steroids, it is still a synthetic hormone. For that reason, it may affect natural hormonal balance and carries possible health risks. Because of this, medical supervision and legal compliance are strongly emphasized when discussing its use.

Ingredients Commonly Found in Anavar Steroid Alternatives By Crazy Bulk

Anavar alternatives are designed to mimic the results associated with Oxandrolone but rely on legal, natural, and non-synthetic ingredients. While formulas vary by brand, many legal alternatives use a combination of botanical extracts, amino acids, vitamins, and performance-supporting compounds. Below are commonly seen ingredients presented in bullet format for clarity:

  • Whey Protein Isolate – Supports muscle repair and promotes lean tissue growth.
  • Soy Protein Isolate – Helps maintain muscle while supporting fat reduction.
  • Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – Assist with muscle recovery, endurance, and strength retention.
  • Wild Yam Root Extract – Sometimes included for its natural precursor compounds linked to hormone support.
  • Tribulus Terrestris Extract – Commonly used to support vitality, energy, and physical performance.
  • Vitamin B6 – Helps with energy metabolism and protein utilization.
  • L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – May assist with converting stored fat into usable energy during training.
  • Zinc – Supports normal testosterone levels and muscle function.
  • Magnesium – Plays a role in muscle contraction and recovery.
  • CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – Often included to support fat-burning efforts and body composition goals.

These ingredients are widely recognized in the supplement industry for supporting performance, muscle definition, recovery, and metabolic activity without the controlled-substance risks linked to anabolic steroids. More about the Anvarol cutting cycle and fat burning. Visit the Official Website

The Anavar Alternative Clinically-Inspired Formula by Crazy Bulk

The concept of Anavar-inspired supplements comes from the original clinical purpose of Oxandrolone: supporting muscle preservation, strength recovery, and overall physical function during rehabilitation. Anavar was initially developed for medical use, assisting patients facing muscle loss due to trauma, illness, or prolonged inactivity. This medical foundation inspired modern supplement manufacturers to create legal alternatives that aim to reflect similar benefits—without synthetic hormones or prescription restrictions.
Clinically-inspired Anavar alternatives typically focus on muscle retention, improved metabolism, and strength support, using natural compounds instead of anabolic steroids. These formulations are centered around ingredients that may help the body preserve lean muscle while undergoing calorie deficits or intense training.
Although these legal alternatives do not replicate the pharmacological effects of Oxandrolone, their goal is to offer a safer, accessible option based on the original clinical intentions: maintaining muscle, supporting recovery, and helping users pursue improved body composition with a more responsible and regulated approach.
 

Anavar Benefits 

Anavar, known medically as Oxandrolone, has been recognized for several effects in both medical use and athletic discussions. While responses vary by individual, the benefits most commonly associated with Anavar are listed below in point format for clarity:

  • Supports Lean Muscle Preservation
    Often referenced during calorie restriction or cutting phases, where maintaining muscle is a priority.
  • May Assist in Strength Improvement
    Known for contributing to strength without large fluctuations in body weight.
  • Low Water Retention Profile
    Commonly discussed for creating a more defined or toned look rather than bulk.
  • Potential Fat Metabolism Support
    Some users report improved muscle-to-fat ratio when paired with proper nutrition and training.
  • Used Medically for Muscle-Wasting Conditions
    Originally prescribed to help patients rebuild or maintain muscle after trauma or prolonged illness.
  • May Help with Recovery
    Sometimes noted for aiding physical rehabilitation and tissue repair.
  • Recognized for Milder Characteristics Compared to Stronger Steroids
    Often referenced as having a more controlled effect profile in regulated medical use.
  • Possible Performance Enhancement
    Athletes often associate Anavar with endurance, strength, consistency, and muscle firmness.

These benefits come from both clinical history and long-standing performance discussions. Legal and responsible usage guidelines remain strongly advised.
Anavar Cycle
An Anavar cycle refers to a planned period of using Oxandrolone, typically organized with a start point, duration, and dosage pattern. In discussions around performance enhancement, Anavar cycles are often shorter than those of stronger anabolic steroids, as it is commonly referenced as a milder compound. Many users mention cycles ranging from six to eight weeks, although medical guidance and legal regulations emphasize that any use should only occur under prescription and supervision.
Anavar cycles are frequently discussed in relation to cutting phases rather than bulking, because it is commonly associated with muscle preservation, definition, and strength maintenance while lowering body fat. Some fitness users also mention pairing Anavar with structured nutrition and resistance training to maximize results.
Post-cycle support may also be discussed to help the body rebalance after synthetic hormone exposure. However, legal frameworks and health authorities warn that unregulated use carries risks, and medical oversight is strongly advised.

Anavar for Women 

The topic of Anavar for women continues to attract attention in bodybuilding, fitness, and medical discussions because Anavar is often described as one of the milder anabolic steroids. Women are sometimes drawn to it because it is commonly associated with lean muscle support, moderate strength improvement, and a more defined physique rather than excessive mass gain. This makes Anavar a frequently referenced option in conversations surrounding cutting cycles and body shaping.
In medical settings, Anavar has been used to assist women recovering from weight loss, muscle-wasting conditions, surgery, or severe trauma. However, while the compound may be seen as milder, it is still a synthetic hormone and carries potential risks. Possible side effects include voice deepening, increased body hair, menstrual disruption, and other signs of virilization, especially without medical supervision.
Because Anavar is a controlled substance in many countries, non-prescription use is illegal and may present serious health risks. For this reason, many individuals seeking similar benefits explore legal, non-hormonal alternatives designed to support muscle tone, energy, and metabolic balance without hormonal impact.
Anyone considering Anavar for women—whether for medical or performance purposes—should prioritize legal compliance, safety awareness, and guidance from a qualified professional.

Anavar for Men 


The topic of Anavar Alternative for men is widely discussed in fitness and bodybuilding communities because Anavar, or Oxandrolone, is often viewed as a milder anabolic steroid with a focus on lean muscle enhancement rather than significant size gains. Men interested in improving muscle definition, strength levels, and overall body composition often reference Anavar as a potential option during cutting cycles, where fat reduction and muscle preservation are key goals.

In medical environments, Anavar has been used to support recovery from muscle-wasting conditions, trauma, and post-surgical rehabilitation. It is appreciated for its reputation of offering strength benefits without excessive water retention, which can create a more sculpted appearance compared to bulk-focused steroids.
However, despite being considered milder, Anavar is still a synthetic hormone and may affect testosterone levels and overall endocrine balance. Potential side effects for men may include reduced natural testosterone production, cholesterol changes, and liver strain, especially when used without medical oversight.
Because Anavar is a controlled substance, non-prescription use is illegal in many regions. Many men seeking similar benefits now turn to legal supplement alternatives intended to support muscle tone, metabolic performance, and workout recovery without hormone disruption. Proper guidance and compliance remain essential when discussing Anavar for men.

Anavar Steroid Dosage 

Dosage recommendations vary depending on medical guidance, fitness goals, and individual response. In general discussions, the following points are commonly referenced:

  • Medical dosage: Often lower and determined by a healthcare professional.
  • Beginners: May start with conservative levels to assess tolerance.
  • Men (performance use): Commonly referenced ranges are higher than women, due to hormonal differences.
  • Women (performance use): Typically discussed in lower ranges to reduce virilization risk.
  • Cycle duration: Often mentioned between 6–8 weeks in fitness discussions.
  • Post-cycle approach: Sometimes recommended to support hormonal balance.

Anavar Steroid Side Effects

Although Anavar is often described as milder than many anabolic steroids, it can still cause side effects, especially when used without proper medical supervision. Possible effects may include hormonal disruption, reduced natural testosterone production, and changes in cholesterol levels. Some users may experience liver strain, particularly at higher doses or with long-term use. Women may face virilization symptoms such as deeper voice, facial hair, and menstrual changes. Other reported effects include mood shifts, fatigue, headaches, and decreased libido. Because Anavar is a controlled prescription drug, professional medical guidance and legal compliance are strongly recommended to reduce risks.

Anavar Before And After Result 

Before starting Anavar, many individuals focus on goals such as increased muscle definition, improved strength, or a leaner body composition. However, results can vary depending on diet, training routine, dosage, and overall health. During use, Anavar is often associated with gradual improvements rather than dramatic overnight changes. Users commonly report improved muscle tone, better workout endurance, and a tighter or more defined look, especially during cutting phases.
After completing a cycle, some individuals may notice visible differences in muscle firmness, strength levels, and fat reduction if paired with disciplined nutrition and exercise. However, results are not guaranteed, and maintaining progress may require continued training and lifestyle consistency.
It is important to note that Anavar is a prescription-controlled steroid, and non-medical use may carry health risks such as hormonal imbalance or liver strain. For many, legal non-steroidal alternatives are explored as a safer option to pursue similar goals.

How to Use Anavar Steroid Alternatives 

Anavar steroid alternatives Anvarol are typically taken as daily supplements rather than in strict steroid-style cycles. Most products recommend one to three capsules per day, usually with food to support better absorption. Consistency is important, and results are often best when paired with a structured workout routine focused on strength training and balanced nutrition. Many users follow a six-to-eight-week schedule, sometimes followed by a short break before restarting. Unlike real steroids, no post-cycle therapy is required because these formulas do not disrupt hormone levels. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a professional if you have health concerns or medical conditions.

Who Needs Anavar? 

Anavar, or Oxandrolone, is primarily intended for individuals who require medical support to rebuild or maintain muscle following serious illness, surgery, injury, or conditions that cause muscle loss. In clinical settings, it may be prescribed to help patients regain strength, improve body weight, or support recovery. Outside the medical environment, Anavar is often discussed among athletes and bodybuilders focused on muscle definition, strength improvement, and physique refinement rather than mass gain. However, because Anavar is a controlled substance, non-prescription use is not recommended. Anyone considering it should consult a licensed medical professional to ensure legal and safe use.
