just as an update to the earlier reference to water retention. My wife was taking anavar daily and she got some MAJOR water retention, knees swelled up like crazy and her ankles looked like she was 9 months pregnant. Turns out the source product was mostly dbol. Once she was switched to actual real pure anavar, the sides went away and she responded super well. Might be a case of a shitty source if people are retaining water since it doesn't aromatize.
