Prohormones & Bodybuilding 101 part 3

Current prohormones

Androstenedione is widely available despite the ban by FDA. Some clinical research has shown that at least 5%-10% of the drug does get converted into testosterone when ingested. Androstenendione also gets converted into estrogen and thus a few males also develop breast enlargement. Androstenedione does work within a few weeks and most individuals begin to see results of muscle mass increase in 4-8 weeks. Like all anabolic steroids, Androstenedione also cases acne, mood changes, loss of hair, decreased libido and oily skin.

4 Androstenediol is very similar to Androstenedione and also sold in some places as a prohormone. Because of it lipid solubility, at least 20% of the drug is converted into a testosterone. Unlike Androstenedione, it does not get converted to estrogen. It has a great advantage of being primarily anabolic with less androgenic effects.

19 Norandrostenedione gets converted to nortestosterone (AKA nandrolone). It does get converted into testosterone but not to dihyrdoxytestosterone. This makes the drug more anabolic and less androgenic. Of course if you ingest more, the drug will be converted into dihyrdoxytestosterone.

1 Androstenediol and 1, 4, Androstenediol are very potent prohormones. It is claimed that the majority of these two prohormones get converted into testosterone and thus the prohormones have solid anabolic activity. Because the prohormones cannot be aromatized, no estrogens are formed. Side effects depend on the drug dosage ingested.

Methyl 1 testosterone when ingested does get converted into testosterone. It also does not get aromatized into an estrogen and one does not develop breast enlargement.
