Anavar Tabs vs Suspension

Has anyone had dosing issues with suspension vs cutting tabs? My coach is concerned about accurate dosing on suspension, but I thought that might be a bigger problem on tabs?

Any suggestions about which is more accurate or how to get an accurate suspension dose?

Thanks

I think var in a suspension gives you more flexibility in "tuning" your dose. For example, if your var suspension is dosed at 20mg/ML, and your dropper is a 1ML volume, you can readily get 5mg increments with relatively high confidence. Just remember with var suspension, the hormone comes out of solution and rests on the bottom of the bottle. You really want to take the time to thoroughly shake the bottle and fully re-integrate the hormone evenly throughout the suspension.

With a tab, you can certainly use a pill cutter, but I've obliterated my share of tablets doing that, but it'll still work.

In both instances, you still have to have confidence that the dosing on the label is correct.

Source tests raws and finished. But being that I'm a woman and anything in the wrong compound or dose could really mess me up, I'll always test what I receive so that there is 100% confidence in what I have.

Thanks for the shake tip, that's all I thought it would take too, but coach was pretty adamant than suspension sucks for dosing. It's my first cycle so I don't know any better one way or the other.

Agreed on shaking thoroughly.

A suspension in not a solution though.

Solution would be to integrate the hormone into a substrate. Like a injectable.

Suspensions rely on just distributing the larger un integrated particles in a medium.

I wonder if any of the oral suspensions contain surfactants ? The pharm company I work at uses lecithin and oleic acid usp for surfactants to create an even suspension. I would add a little heat also when shaking really well and immediately fill a gel cap. That's what I used to do with the early liquid research products for even dosing.

I am tempted to say Humco is the most popular oral delivery method for compounding.

One of the BBs I knew a while back used to take her raw OX, weight out X amount on a precision scale (down to 1 mg accuracy), for example 300 mg, grind it to dust using a mortor and pestle, take 60 ml of Ora-Plus or other suspension vehicle, add about 10 ml and grind more, then pour into a dropper bottle, continue to add 10 ml at a time and rinse the remaining residue out of the mortar several times until all 60 ml have been used, then shake the container each time and draw out 1 ml at a time. 1 ml = 5 mg. Dosing was spot on. I've done this with anhydrous caffeine and it works well for small dosing pre workout.

compound and suspending vehicle should have good miscibility. Ora-Plus Sugar Free - Var is gtg

use a professional suspending vehicle. some compounds should be in solution they are horrible for suspension because they like to clump up. and are better suited for a stable solution or tabs.

Their is a certain excipient used in the supertab formulation that has an extreme effect on bio availability. its the reason your hear the old saying.............. 10mg HG is better than 20mg UG. without it no tab will have the same effect. day and night
