I run a var almost continuously. 20 a day, split dose. I have never had a bad side effect from the var. Only good things. For me, it regulates my menstrual cycle, unlike anything including birth control has ever accomplished, and makes my PMS sysmptoms lesser. No acne, hair loss, hair growth...just steady gains, better definition. I have read all the horror stories, but, in my personal experience, there are none. Cholesterol levels are in check, blood work looks good, etc. I would like to try to add winny in a 2.5 to 5 split daily dose. Has anyone else had positive results with this, that could share. Not interested in weight loss, or cutting. I lift heavy (for a girl) and regularly.
