Most of the so called "pro hormones" available today are already in their active state. Phera Plex and Superdrol are both active steroids that require no conversion. Calling them a PH is a misnomer.
Similar for an analogy would be T4 and T3. T3 being the active form of the hormone that your body converts from T4. T4 can be considered a PH, T3 is the active thyroid hormone.
One advantage of PH's is generally their oral bio availability. If you swallow testosterone it will be destroyed in the first pass through the liver. If you swallow 4AD, it's structure allows more to be absorbed into the body for use. The same can be said for 1AD vs. 1test. 1AD can be taken orally but needs a fairly high dose due to the moderately low level of conversion to 1test. 1test is obviously much more potent but is useless taken orally. 1test is typically administered transdermal or injected for this very reason.
