What Are Anabolic Steroids?

Anabolic steroids are synthetic chemical compounds that mimic the effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (the male sex hormones). Their use can result in building up of cellular tissue, particularly lean muscle tissue. Their use is controversial but has been shown to increase strength and bulk, particularly when combined with a fitness program such as weight training.

So, the question is: Are anabolic steroids for sale?

In a simple sense, the answer is no. Anyone offering anabolic steroids for sale, at least in the United States, is probably breaking the law, and at the very least should be considered very suspicious. As of the 1990 Anabolic Steroid Control Act, anabolic steroids are considered Schedule III controlled substances, similar to narcotics.

On the other hand, obviously in today’s world finding anabolic steroids for sale is not impossible. There are black markets around the world, with the obvious risks and legal dangers associated with that. There are also legal ways to find anabolic steroids for sale, through prescription only, although it should be noted that in most cases these are used for very specific health issues (such as appetite stimulation in cancer patients).

Again, anyone offering anabolic steroids for sale should be treated very cautiously.
