What Are Pro-hormones?

Pro-hormones

A pro-hormone by definition is a substance that is a pre-cursor to a hormone. However by reality in the fitness industry, a pro-hormone is simply the most anabolic and effective supplement for gaining lean muscular tissue and size*. Pro-hormones are pre-cursors to steroids, such as M1T is to Testosterone, Trenavol is to Trenbolone or Halodrol is to Turinabol. 

Pro-hormones are chemical compounds which when taken put the body in a positive nitrogen balance and allow nutrients to be processed much more efficiently. The chemical compounds themselves are basically synthetic forms of testosterone, considering the body produces around 25-35mg of testosterone per week you can only imagine what kind of effects could happen from taking 100mg+ of a prohormone per day. The effects are much quicker than what you can gain as a natural athlete.

Used by bodybuilders, powerlifters, athletes and anyone else interested in getting the same kind of effects as steroids without the legal implications. This has lead to an upsurge in popularity of pro-hormones over the last 2 decades. As such there are many pro-hormones now on the banned list, although new compounds are continiously coming out and seem to only be getting better as science develops.

Pro-hormones growth and strength promotions tend to be less drastic than black market steroids, however compounds such as Cynostane, M1T, Decavol, Boladrol and Tren, based products will all speak for themselves in terms of results. This line of pro-hormones in particular all promote gains that have been likened to black market compounds. 

Due to pro-hormones being precursors to steroids and not as harsh as the original compound itself, pro-hormones tend to be much less severe with side effects. Commonly from steroids side effects such as acne, loss of hair, loss of sex drive, irregular blood pressure, testicular atrophy, gynocomastia and so the list goes on. Pro-hormones are legal to buy over the counter and have had a lot of research put into them, you can have confidence that the side effects of these are much less if any at all.

With all this being said I am not advocating that anybody has to choose these over steroids. Certainly from a legal point you would be advised to choose these, what about for the strength and size results? I feel this is more of an issue of how well you are financially. If you're privileged enough to have a well paid profession then I really see no reason not to invest in pro-hormones. The range of them is just so extensive, I could understand buying steroids from how much history and research they have to them, it makes them an obvious choice but the results of pro-hormones speak for themselves with some people.
