The Best (and Worst) Anabolic Steroids for Women

The Best (and Worst) Anabolic Steroids for Women

Some steroid compounds are far too powerful in their androgenic properties to ever be of use to females. Any positive benefits of such compounds would be significantly overshadowed by the severe side effects they bring to a female. Therefore, most women steroid users will always avoid the most powerful compounds with very high androgenic ratings such as Dianabol and Trenbolone.

Females, like male users, will choose to use steroids for different goals so what might be the best compound (or compounds if stacking) for one purpose, is not necessarily going to be the most ideal for other goals. Common purposes include for bodybuilding and muscle growth, for cutting and contest prep, or for athletic and performance enhancement. Different steroids will provide different possible results and effects for each goal.

When considering the best compounds to use, females should not only think about the compound itself but also the ester attached to it. Long esters which remain in the body for longer periods of time are less than ideal for females. If side effects do develop, they will take much longer to subside than if a short estered compound were taken. Enanthate, decanoate and cypionate are three esters which are best avoided by females.

So which steroids could be considered the best or most appropriate for women? Mostly they will fall into the category of the more mild compounds; those with a lower ratio of anabolic to androgenic effects. All steroids have some androgenic effect, so there is no escaping this aspect for female users. But by using compounds with relatively mild androgenic properties, women can reduce the severity of virilization side effects.

The Best Steroids for Female Users
Anavar, Winstrol and Primobolan
Two of the very best steroids for females and Anavar and Winstrol. These are both oral steroids with relatively low anabolic to androgenic rations and so can be tolerated much better by female users than many other compounds. Dosages still must be kept low and duration no more than 8 weeks maximum; however 4 or 6 weeks is considered more than enough for most people.

Anavar and Winstrol will provide females with good muscle gain, strength and muscle hardness. Both also have short half lives so clear the body quickly, meaning side effects will subside fast as the steroid clears the body and usage is stopped.

Women who are keen to go further into the world of injectable steroids can consider Primobolan Depot, especially where the goal is cutting or contest prep and retaining lean mass is desirable. Primo, Anavar and Winstrol can be considered three of the best anabolic steroids for women.

Equipoise (Boldenone undecylenate)
Equipoise (Boldenone undecylenate) is another compound women may choose to use and this is an injectable steroid so does not come with the possible liver toxicity risk.

Females often see very good results with EQ and often the side effects are not as severe as with other compounds. It has a relatively low androgenic rating but like all steroids for women, must be used at a lower dose or side effects will rear their head early in the cycle.

One downside of Equipoise for women is its longer half life compared with oral steroids, having a half life of about 14 days; this means if side effects do occur, they will take longer to subside as the steroid takes longer to leave the body.

Clenbuterol
Clenbuterol is another viable option for females, however this is not technically an anabolic steroid despite being used in similar ways and having similar properties. It is highly useful for weight loss and fat burning as it boosts the metabolism and assists in retaining muscle mass.

The Worst Steroids for Females
When it comes to the worst steroids for women to use, these are the ones that are so powerful androgenically that they are certain to cause severe development of masculine features; for this reason we consider the worst steroids for females to use to include Trenbolone, Dianabol and Anadrol.

Testosterone itself is also not ideal for women unless they are hardcore bodybuilders and are more concerned about making gains than the certain severe side effects that will come with its use.
