i hope this isn't in the wrong forum. . .
i was just curious(and hoped to get a mature answer)
what is the difference between anabolic steroids and these completely natural test boosters(like the ones that say they're made from herbs)

just curious
thanks!

Steroids are synethtic versions and altered versions of the male hormone testosterone. Test boosters don't start off as testosterone but are converted in the body.

[Tall HardGainer]

test boosters help increase the free natural test already in the body, whereas a anabolic steroid, as mentioned above, is a synthetic version of what the body produces naturally.

[Tall HardGainer]

The problem with anabolic steroids is that after a short period of time the body stops producing its natural form of test so that when you stop your cycle of anabolic steroids you get gynodcastomia (gynod for short, bitch tits) because the body increases its natural estrogen levels and testasterone increases in order to keep the body in a natural hormonal base. Thats why PCT (post cycle therapy) is so important when taking anabolics and even pro hormones because of this effect, as a way to counteract the effect of increased estrogen levels, it helps by blocking it and lowering it back down to a normal level so that when you come off your stack your back in a normal level without the sides of bitch tits. Just so you know estrogen is an important part of building muscle, so its not benefitial to block estrogen from the beginning.

Also, there are other side effects from taking anabolics and prohormones that aren't really seen when taking a natural test booster (like tribbulis), but thats another discussion.

Are you considering taking one of the above?

well first off, i'm only 18
but i'm going to compete this august, so i'm trying to find something LEGAL to give me an edge.

i'd seen some adds for these natural test boosters, so i wanted to ask someone that knew before i started takin stuff that's not good for me

Tribulus Terrestris is a well reputed natural test booster.

check out the supplements available via this site to find out more

[Rodzilla]

Test boosters usually aren't very beneficial during teen years; your test will already be very high.

^^Cosign, at your age test booster and ph's are not worth it, because you are essentially a walking steroid. All you need to do is diet right, train hard and rest and you WILL grow. Don't worry about test boosters and ph's they won't do anything for you. Also, ph's shouldn't be used until you are at least 21-22 years old when your nat. test level begin to decrease. If you do a search on ph's you will come across this issue and why its bad at a young age.

THG you are absolutely on top of things around here. im impressed.

[soccer21]

i know i'm too young to take any of these supplements. . .yet part of me is tempted to do it anyways. . .

i guess my goal in making this thread was to understand the difference between the two and what natural test boosters do
