Methasterone vs Oxandrolone
Both are anabolic steroid compounds. Here's how they line up on the evidence — graded the same way.
| Methasterone | Oxandrolone | |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Animal only | Strong human |
| Class | Anabolic steroid | Anabolic steroid |
| Summary | Methasterone is an oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (a 17α-methyl version of drostanolone), never an approved medicine; its only robust human evidence is harm — severe cholestatic liver injury — not efficacy. | Oxandrolone is an oral anabolic-androgenic steroid with genuine clinical trial support in catabolic illness (severe burns, HIV wasting, Turner syndrome), but its 'mild and safe' reputation is marketing, not evidence. |
