obviously the stereotype is that all steroids are evil and will somehow manage to mess up your body somehow or another, but is it possible to make steroids work with you if you take the appropriate vitamins ie: ginko biloba, b12, hawthorne berry, milkthistle etc.?? i am not taking steroids but i have a few friends that are currently using them and the results are incredible, i am becoming very interested in this idea so lemme know!

If the proper "stack" is used and you don't over do it in the gym steroids are pretty safe and give great results. Its the things you hear about "juicers" that give steroid's a bad name. Just remember to do the research and find out what you want from the drug. i.e. more endurance, more muscle mass, or just get stronger. Don't jump into it without knowing what your getting into. Also, its addicting because of the fast gains you will see. \n\nHope this helpes:\n\nAnabolic steroids (AS) are effective in enhancing athletic performance. The trade off, however, is the occurrence of adverse side effects which can jeopardize health. Since AS have effects on several organ systems, a myriad of side effects can be found. In general, the orally administered AS have more adverse effects than parenterally administered AS. In addition, the type of AS is not only important for the advantageous effects, but also for the adverse effects. Especially the AS containing a 17-alkyl group have potentially more adverse affects, in particular to the liver. One of the problems with athletes, in particular strength athletes and bodybuilders, is the use of oral and parenteral AS at the same time ("stacking"), and in dosages which may be several (up to 40 times) the recommended therapeutical dosage. The frequency and severity of side effects is quite variable. It depends on several factors such as type of drug, dosage, duration of use and the individual sensitivity and response.\n\nLiver Function\n\nAS may exert a profound adverse effect on the liver. This is particularly true for orally administered AS. The parenterally administered AS seem to have less serious effects on the liver. Testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate and other injectable anabolic steroids seem to have little adverse effects on the liver. However, lesions of the liver have been reported after parenteral nortestosterone administration, and also occasionally after injection of testosterone esters. The influence of AS on liver function has been studied extensively. The majority of the studies involve hospitalized patients who are treated for prolonged periods for various diseases, such as anemia, renal insufficiency, impotence, and dysfunction of the pituitary gland. In clinical trials, treatment with anabolic steroids resulted in a decreased hepatic excretory function. In addition, intra hepatic cholestasis, reflected by itch and jaundice, and hepatic peliosis were observed. Hepatic peliosis is a hemorrhagic cystic degeneration of the liver, which may lead to fibrosis and portal hypertension. Rupture of a cyst may lead to fatal bleeding.\n\nBenign (adenoma's) and malign tumors (hepatocellular carcinoma) have been reported. There are rather strong indications that tumors of the liver are caused when the anabolic steroids contain a 17-alpha-alkyl group. Usually, the tumors are benign adenoma's, that reverse after stopping with steroid administration. However, there are some indications that administration of anabolic steroids in athletes may lead to hepatic carcinoma. Often these abnormalities remain asymptomatic, since peliosis hepatis and liver tumors do not always result in abnormalities in the blood variables that are generally used to measure liver function.\n\nAS use is often associated with an increase in plasma activity of liver enzymes such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). These enzymes are present in hepatocytes in relatively high concentrations, and an increase in plasma levels of these enzymes reflect hepatocellular damage or at least increased permeability of the hepatocellular membrane.\n\nIn longitudinal studies of athletes treated with anabolic steroids, contradictory results were obtained on the plasma activity of liver enzymes (AST, AST, LDH, GGT, AP). In some studies, enzymes were i

Steroid use is incredibly dangerous. It puts a synthetic form of testosterone into the body and with continued use his testicles will shrink and become inactive because his body will stop making it's own testosterone. It can also give him bad acne, episodes of rage, hair loss, penile shrinkage (that's a fun one) and lots of other things that are not manly. There is no "steriod use, but not abuse" because any use of steroid hurts the human body. There is tons!!!!! of research out there on steriods, but there will always be the few people who are looking for the quick and easy route, which is almost always also the harmful one. Tell him you love him and you want him to be your MAN forever and that you like his testosterone just the way it is:) good luck

As an ex-model, steroids had done wonders for my body and my career. I've done them the smart way, under the supervision of a doctor (who's my friend) and few famous professional body builders (I'm a female)\nIt depends how you do steroids, what amounts in what period of time you do, what kind of "antidotes" you use after the "cycle" to clean out your liver/kidneys and whole body.\n\nOne thing that I will vouch for 'till the end of my days is Human Growth Hormone. It is not considered a 'steroid" but you can think of it as one. hGH has saved my life, rebuilt all destroyed organs in my body (as a youngster, I did lots of heavy drugs while partying too much), it made me totally healthy. Since a kit works for 7 years ahead, my body STILL burns fat on it's own, all my wrinkles from tanning too much dissapeared, my hair and skin are just flawless. all doctors I told the truth to, confirmed that it is because I took hGH. When I first started taking it, I was only 18- it made me grow 2 inches taller. And I didn't get any side effects from it, because I took prescribed dosages.\n\nSteroids are not totally "evil". It's evil and wrong to take them without previous research and supervision of those who know how to take them safely.

I have found that Anavol works great for me for mass gains...  It helps using creatine as a transport.  I also have taken M1T which is about the only pill that has been closely compared to steroid(s) w/o actually being a steroid.  When I take the two together, while eating healthy food and lots of it (4,000+ calories avg. daily) Lts of protein including whey isolate protein shakes, basically 1 gram of protein per lb. of bodyweight, I feel completely pumped at the gym, "fullness" comes to mind, universal muscle fullness.  Using both together I've seen gains in weight of up to 75% more when not on it eating and drinking the same things.  For instance, recently, I was taking them both for about a 15 day cycle... in 15 days, eating right, working out approx. 3 hours daily in the gym (splitting up muscle groups=1 per day), I gained 6 lbs of pure hard muscle.  So it is possible with M1T and Anavol.

Cortisol reducing pills are not effective in weight loss.  Very few people have overproduction of weight loss, unless you have been diagnosed with this, I would not waste my money.

The answer is probably not. They primarily use them for muscle bulk, but they have the added side effect of promoting other types of growth.\n The main issue now with steroids is the issue of pharmocogenetic medicines, which are particularly adapted to certain genetic types, promoting certain positive functions within the body. This has led to the issue of gene doping where a foreign DNA strand  could be introduced through a specially designed drug. For example, a drug could be developed to promote oxygen saturation in the blood, which at present many athletes use Ethryopoetin, a kidney drug, to do. \n It is unlikely that steroid and general drug use will ever be stopped in sport. The development of synthetic hormones and better masking agents will make detection even more difficult. Also, at present testing for some drugs such as ethryopoetin (EPO) is incredibly difficult, with a EPO test requiring 180 seperate tests and needing highly speciallised equipment and testing. \n This situation may be explained by the particualar focus that the media have on some sports, such as cycling. With more minority sports, with less athletes competing in worldwide competition, it may appear that the problem is more serious than actually is the truth.\n If you can read French then Massacre a la Chaine is worth a read. It focuses primarilly on the Festina affair, where a staff member of a cycling team was discovered with doping products in the car he was using in the Tour De France. It details not only the actual events in the 1998 scandal, for which his team, Festina, were disqualified, but also his own cycling career and drug use then. But I beg you, please don't think all cyclists are like that- most cyclists and tifosi (cycling fans) are ashamed.

Buckwheat is right. They will expire and lose efficacy.\nOnce they (or any other supplement) reaches the expiration date, they may have already decomposed to the point where they're not very potent. \n\n\nOf course, vitamins don't become useless overnight. The expiration date is really the manufacturer's guarantee that their product will still provide the promised punch up until the date on the label. Sure, some of the vitamins or other nutrients can be potent afterward, but the company doesn't guarantee that. To be on the safe side, purchase products with the latest expiration dates. \n\nHope this web site helps! It is where I got my answer because I trust webmd.

Based on your reference quote, it seems to suggest that _any_ prenatal exposure of steroid based hormones increases male-typical behaviour. The fact that the post-natal effects of having a higher oestrogen concentration than testosterone has an "opposite" (female-typical) effect is a red herring.

Steroids.  That's their intended purpose.

I agree with everyone so far. These products are usually unlikely to work at all, and sometimes have negative side effects. Nothing works better than regular sensible exercise and good eating.

Use as directed and it will be safe.  It is not an anabolic steroid, so don't worry you aren't going to develope well sculptured muscles!  Do not apply a heavy dose, if you do not use as directed and the skin absorbs more with long term use...it thins your skin.

Nope. Anyone that insecure about their body is not the type of person I would want to date. Kind of like a woman constantly dieting, taking diet pills, and so forth. Both are insecure about their bodies and are, in general, not going to be emotionally stable. Everyone gets upset. It's normal. Taking things that exacerbate that because you feel like you have to look like a glob of muscle and increase the chance of it are really just unnecessary. I don't find weight lifters particularly attractive, anyway. I want a man that has a healthy percentage of muscle and fat for his height and body structure that cares about his health more than how other people think he looks.\n\nTo the young lady below, that's exactly what kind of person it is. A boy. Someone who hasn't matured enough yet to realize that the only steroids that should ever be taken should be carefully dosed and monitored by a doctor for health purposes. Steroid use and abuse has a number of very serious draw backs and because of this, they need to be, as stated, carefully dosed and monitored.

Many people worry about cortisone injections, since they have heard so much negative press about steroids. However, you need to make a distinction between local steroids and systemic steroids. The negative things you have heard are almost certainly mostly about systemic steroids, which are taken by weight lifters, body builders, and athletes. These substances have many negative effects, since they are not taken under a doctor's orders and are having an effect on the entire body. Cortisone injections are not effective over the entire body, but have their effect locally, at the site of the injection. Also, your getting only a small amount of medication. Systemic steroids have many undesirable side effects, and when taken without a doctor's supervision, can be very dangerous. Local steroids have only one common side effect (loss of pigmentation (skin color) around the site of the injection, the size of about a dime or quarter, and it resolves in about one year), and the uncommon side effects are so uncommon that you don't hear about them. If you have any concerns. I would not recommend an injection of steroids unless I thought the benefits outweigh the risks, including pain and pigmentation. No stomach cancer!

There are very few places in the world where pure ando is legal anymore because almost every single scientific study done on the steroid has shown that it doesn't work to help you gain muscle but it does work to screw up your endocrine system.  I have no idea where you can get some, but i am sure if you just search google for it you should be able to find some Caribbean website which will be more than happy to take your money and send you to the hospital.  There are no short cuts to this, stop being stupid and stay away from andro.

different people react differently to different pills.\n\ni've used hydroxycut and it worked very well for me.  my girlfriend tried trimspa, but it didn't do much for her.  \n\nso it all depends on you.  hydroxycut worked very well for myself as well as a bunch of my friends.  i used this and then after i lost as much body fat as i wanted, i moved to No2\n\nthroughout the whole time, i had been weight training and watching my carb intake.  drinking lots of water (like a gallon a day at least).\n\ngood luck : )
