Anabolic Steroids Information

Anabolic steroids are a classification of synthetic hormones used primarily to build muscle mass and strength in weight training athletes. Anabolic steroids are a very broad and generalized term that covers and encompasses hundreds of different products. Anabolic steroids range in products from various synthetic testosterone esters to oral products.

Anabolic steroids are used primarily by weight training athletes, but athletes from every sport played use them to gain a competitive advantage. Everything from speed in tennis, to hitting home runs in baseball, anabolic steroids assist the athlete with faster recovery times, increased performance, and lean muscle mass.

Anabolic steroids are illegal for use in competition due to the unnatural advantage the user will have over other athletes. Anabolic steroids are also illegal to posses in most countries and acquiring them usually means breaking local and federal laws. Anabolic steroids are commonly used for increasing muscle size; therefore potential for abuse by non competitive athletes is high. It is not uncommon for average gym lifters to use anabolic steroids for vanity reasons.

All anabolic steroids are synthesized from testosterone, the most common anabolic steroids used. Popular anabolic steroids include; testosterone enanthate, testosterone cypionate, deca durabolin, dianabol, anadrol, equipoise, and more. All the aforementioned anabolic steroids are derivatives of synthetic testosterone, having been altered to change the profile to make the anabolic steroids more anabolic or androgenic.

Anabolic steroids are usually used for pre-contest bodybuilding use, or by casual users and lifters due to the minimization of side effects generally associated with high androgen use. Such anabolic steroids side effects include; increased body hair, male pattern baldness, acne, oily skin, and more. Androgenic anabolic steroids cause more rapid increases in body weight, but not all of the gains may be from muscle, increases can also be water retention as high androgen anabolic steroids cause more of the unwanted side effects.

Bodybuilding.com recalls 65* products that “may” contain anabolic steroids

Written by anthonyroberts on

From: anthonyroberts.co.za

On November 3, 2009, Bodybuilding.com, in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration has announced a voluntary recall of all lots and expiration dates of 65* nutritional supplements. Even more interesting is the fact that Bodybuilding.com quietly removed their voluminous anabolic steroid informational section (formerly written by Pete Van Mol, a/k/a Big Cat), and have additionally removed their anabolic steroid forum, where members were previously free to discuss the use of anabolic steroids, share their experiences and cycles, trade advice, and even learn how to home-brew their own stash.

I’ve published the list of recalled products below (*which numbers 66, not 65 as announced on the FDA’s homepage), and additionally have posted a screenshot of their “REMOVED” forum, which is not accessible from their forums list or on their forum home page, but is (UNBELIEVABLY, and stupidly) still available if you search on various steroid names (clearly this is an oversight, and the so-called “REMOVED” forum should probably not be accessible to non-staff members…i.e. the administrator who moved the forum messed up and made it closed and removed, and invisible unless you do a search, but failed to actually remove it from being accessible by the general public). Anyway, here’s the list, followed by the not-so-REMOVED forum screenshot):
