More importantly, since their structure is similar to illegal drugs, the FDA has the ability to ban these supplements. Some are banned from the International Olympic Committee, or school and pro sports teams.
Also, some of these drugs, such as DHEA, are still illegal in some countries.
Androstenedione-Sold as androstene by OSMO Research, androstenedione is a direct precursor to test. About 5% of what is orally consumed is converted through an enzyme to anabolic hormones. This is an androgenic compound, which means it can be converted to test, estrogen or DHT. A chemical process exists, due to none other than Dan Duchaine, which converts androstenedione to testosterone.
Cytadren-Though only available through prescription from U.S. sources, it can be purchased and imported or mailed into this country without a doctor's approval. One of the only anti-estrogenic drugs that are not controlled substances.
Norandrostenedione-A downregulating hormone similar to deca durabolin, which assists in making test more effective. The enzymatic process, as well as the chemical process are the same as for androstenedione.
Androdiol-Another precursor to test which converts through a different enzyme than androstenedione. Exculsively made at this time by OSMO. About 15% of what is consumed turns to test.
Ipriflavone-Synthetic form of ipriflasone, found in soy proteins. This is used to make bones more dense and harder, and apparently the main benefit is only to heavy anabolic users. Abuse of steroids weaken bones and cartilage.
Synthol-imflammatory liquid injected into muscles to temporarily enlarge them. The substance is a fatty acid which creates pressure on muscle tissue to expand.
