Although a mild androgen and not a known aromatizing steroid, you might think that Winstrol should be relatively safe for your body. This might be true when compared to other steroids but Winstrol has its own set of problems. Winstrol side effects range from mild headaches due to its androgenicity to severe, life threatening chronic liver problems. There are, of course, different ways of how you can avoid Winstrol side effects and you should be aware of these even before you use the steroid.
The most feared among Winstrol side effects is the possibility of liver damage. Both Winstrol oral and injectable forms are 17-alpha alkylated compounds and both can increase liver enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase. While this can easily be prevented by limiting the use of Winstrol to 8 weeks and using recommended doses, other methods of helping the liver can also be used. In order to minimize the Winstrol side effects of jaundice or liver necrosis, you can always opt to take some form of liver support such as liver detoxification supplements and milk thistle. You may also want to increase pro-liver antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, and minerals including selenium and zinc.
With the structural (c17-AA) alteration, the tablets will also place a higher level of stress on the liver than the Winstrol injectable (which avoids the "first pass"). During longer or higher dosed of Winstrol, liver values should therefore be watched closely through regular blood work. Although less common, the possibility of liver damage cannot be excluded with the injectable however. While it does not enter the body through the liver, it is still broken down by it, providing a lower (but more continuous) level of stress. Such stress would of course be amplified when adding other c17-AA oral compounds with Winstrol. When using such combinations, cautious users would make every effort to limit the length of the Winstrol use (preferably 6 to 8 weeks).
