The short answer
Anavar and Winstrol are both DHT-derived orals that do not aromatise and do not carry water, which is why they are so often considered together. The separation is in how hard each is on the rest of the system: stanozolol is the drier of the two and carries the heavier hepatic and cholesterol profile, and its dryness is what produces its well known effect on joint comfort. Oxandrolone is the milder compound and priced accordingly.
