Is Andro “like” a steroid?
Andro is not like a steroid aside from the fact that it increases muscle growth. Steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone. When you are taking steroids you are actually injecting synthetic testosterone. Androstenedione is completely different. . . When you take anabolic steroids you are subjecting your system to the full dose of synthetic testosterone all at once. Ready or not, there it is. Steroids are also designed to remain in your system over a long period of time. It’s the extended half-life engineered into steroids that is believed to be responsible for a large portion of the steroids’ side effects. So comparing steroids to Androstenedione is quite unrealistic. It is like comparing pasta to table sugar. Though ultimately they are both converted to the same thing by your body – glycogen – they are two totally different compounds. One is good for you; one is not so good for you. Q: If Andro is safe, why is it banned by the IOC [International Olympic Committee]? A: Androst
